El Pollote

Best chicken, tasty and so many flavors! Definitely a must!! You need to visit this place. Friendly staff and amazing food

I got the chicken arepa and paid an extra £4 for a rather small portion of fries, given the price. I was given tomato ketchup, and when I tried to change it for something else, the guy serving insisted that I would have to pay £1.50 for any other sauce. They should put these kinds of rules on the menu or tell you when you order as I could have got my side from somewhere else.

The menu (see attached photo) says £1 for sauce and no rules about the fries so I'm not sure if this rule, and the £1.50 price, was specific to me. The guy was so rude that I didn't even have a chance to tell him I get a mild allergic reaction to ketchup. I just gave back the ketchup as he wouldn't allow me to swap it for anything. Having spent £13 on my meal, I really don't think that was asking for much.

It's a shame because the chicken and the arepa were lovely, and so were the kitchen staff.

Incredible food, and they offer some excellent gluten free options - the guava glazed wings and yucca fries were amazing.

The best fried chicken in the world!!!

Try the fried chicken arepa and the wings !

the service is incredible and everything is really delicious!

Amazing wings. Best I've had in London. Both flavours (guava & buffanerro) are banging.
