New York's Famous Pizza

The last time I had KFC fried chicken was more than seven years ago. Lately I have been craving for fried chicken but have not been able to find any halal ones. I don't really like to fry chicken at home because of the heat and amount of oil needed to fry just a few pieces of chicken parts.

This afternoon after searching on the internet for a nearby restaurant that serves halal fried chicken, I found good reviews on Zabihah.com about the New York's Famous Pizza, located on 629 West Pioneer Parkway in Arlington. After husband came home from work, we went together to the restaurant to get some fried chicken. The restaurant was easy to find and a 'Halal' sign is displaced on the side of the entrance.


The restaurant's deco is quite simple with lots of seating area for customers. There are black and white mural paintings of the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge on one side of the wall.

While waiting for our order, the manager offered a free banana ice cream cone to daughter. I ate half of it so that the ice cream would not drip all over daughter's shirt. Our order included:
- 8 piece chicken with mashed potato, coleslaw and 4 rolls
- 6 piece hot wings
- Onion rings
- a slice of New York Cheesecake

The fried chicken pieces were quite well seasoned, and the hot wings were well coated with a tangy and spicy sauce. The onion rings and coleslaw tasted delicious too. My favorite part of the meal is the cheesecake - it is what a New York Cheesecake should be. Even daughter likes to eat it.

Allah SWT willing we will return to this restaurant soon to try their pizza.
