nola - homemade fried chicken in Berlin

Old food, overpriced, ominous atmosphere—it felt like the chicken was frozen and fried in the oldest oil. I feel sick.

It's hard to put into words how disappointed I am. I can only talk about the mac and cheese; it was the worst overpriced thing I've ever been sold. I wasn't really expecting much, but I was still disappointed. Never again!

Super friendly service and the chicken tenders were amazing!

The food was alright. We had the normal chicken, spicy chicken, mashed potatoes, fries. And the fries were very nice but everything else was mid. The chilli chicken was spicy but not yummy spicy just spicy it was the normal chicken dunked in chili flakes thats it no extra flavor and that killed the chicken. The chicken generally was corn chicken. Thats to everyones own taste but it wasnt mine. The mashed potatoes were bland quite disappointing. The food was very expensive. I ate at block house for less.

I was kind of surprised at some of the comments in the negative reviews. While I would readily admit that this style of chicken isn't for everyone, the place is delivering exactly what they describe it to be: Louisiana style chicken. I've been to Louisiana, this is what it's supposed to taste like. * Some of the negative reviews are pretty obviously astroturfed. A competitor? Who knows, but take them with a grain of salt. * Many people complained about the pricing. You're getting corn fed bio chicken which is not cheap. The pieces of meat are quite large too so you may only get x pieces of chicken, but they are big. * My only real complaint is the location. Sitting outside with Torstrasse 2 meters away is not fun. At least for me, I always eat inside because of the street noise combined with the bro crowd at the restaurant next door that think it's entertaining to race their Ferrari engines to show off. * Get the mac and cheese or the mashed potatoes as your side. You can get french fries anywhere.

Best Chicken Place in Berlin with a wide variety of sides, all homemade. The difference between this place and other chicken places is that they do all food from the scratch by themselves. Many forget here!

I ordered the chicken tenders and the chicken bun. Unfortunately, I felt unwell afterwards — nausea and stomach discomfort that lasted into the next couple of days.

We were initially quite impressed by the ambiance and thought we'd discovered a good place. The Nashville wings were very spicy and lacked any flavor. The fries were bland and bitter. Overall, it wasn't a good experience for us, and we won't be coming back. We didn't think the price-performance ratio was right.

I had heard about Nola and the legendary wings before, and I noticed the place as I was walking by. Even though we had planned to meet somewhere else, I had to try the Nashville Hot Wings - and what luck! The quality was absolutely top. Many stores thrive on hype, but Nola delivers real substance. The wings were quite spicy - definitely not for the faint of taste buds - but the chicken itself was juicy, high quality and perfectly prepared. The owner was super friendly and really took his time. I'll definitely come back - and then work my way through the rest of the menu.

I paid 6€ for the most basic milkshake and 12€!! for the most basic chicken burger. They sell you a nice image but the food is totally overpriced and tastes just soooo basic

Very good fried chicken and the milkshakes are highly recommended.

Such friendly staff and the food was incredible

Rather expensive for an average meal and not a particularly nice atmosphere on site (dish + drink 23 EUR).

Just had some bomb nashville tender chicken, was real memorable. Great staff and nice vibe. Recommend!

Food and service were top. You can tell the quality of the chicken by the taste. The Buffalo Style Chicken Tenders were our highlight. We'd love to come back :)

Spice level perfect. Interesting and good Flavor. Only problem is portion size was small for the price, and I ordered M tenders and the Burger and Pommes. Burger was also smaller than expected and Pommes box was half empty. Very good quality but small quantity with high cost. Would probably eat again, maybe it’s cheaper in-house than delivery. S

Authentic American cuisine at its best

Tried the nashville wings, mash and gravy and nola fries. The wings were just spicy and had no pleasant flavour to it, and no salt. Loved the fries and mash&gravy though

My absolute favorite place in Berlin. Started as a pop-up years ago what makes it kind of special (even for Berlin!). The owner is the coolest Flavor Maestro when its about Wings&Wine (and Ribs, and Mac and Cheese on Wednesdays....)! A visit to Berlin wouldn't be complete without Nola

Some of the best spicy fried chicken in town.

Regulars. Never disappointed. Friendly boss.

Service friendly, great fried chicken, good wings, prices are a bit high so would not venture here often. They could offer more sharing platters. Would recommend for a treat.

the best chicken in Berlin!! You can't get better buffalo bites anywhere. If you like spicy food, you have to try the Nashville hot wings

The chicken tenders are the craziest chicken I've ever eaten. Incredibly soft, juicy and simply delicious. Clear recommendation!

Best chicken tenders in all of Berlin (actually the whole world)

2 Chicken for 17 Euro. Price is really expensive. They don't even provide ketchup for free. Not worth for money

Safe to say the best chicken in town

Take advantage of the lunch offer. The chicken sandwich was super tasty. The fries were very good. Price performance for the offer with a drink was right. In my opinion, prices for the dips are too high at over one euro.

I have ordered many times and have never been disappointed! The best chicken for my taste. Red cabbage salad is also really good and mash n gravy is also great! ❤️ Chicken tenders have also been available recently - > Absolute blast, my favorite on the menu! A quick note at the end: "Nashville Hot" is really, really hot :-) I personally prefer to stick with the normal versions, they're really good! Oh, and for me the price/performance ratio is totally fine given the quality you get. And for the other comments like "Fries were bitter", or "Red cabbage salad had no acid", etc. > please read what you order. The fries are from the Linda potato, which has flavor and is not the McDonald's a-hole potato that they make their fries from. The red cabbage salad also says that it has vegan mayo and no vinegar. Very tasty for me because of the natural, good taste. I'd rather pay a little more for relatively good food than not necessarily cheaply for really bad food.

Great chicken and good advice if you're a bit clueless.

The best chicken I have ever eaten in Germany. Great service, food prepared quickly and very friendly owner.

It was a nice stay, delicious food, home-made fries, delicious chicken sandwich (definitely recommended to have it with cucumbers), 2 tofu sandwiches, very tasty. The crowning glory was a banana pudding to kneel down on. Thanks again to the bartender for the recommendation. The ambience takes some getting used to, but it's actually nicely done, only the smell from the kitchen lingers on your clothes for a long time... Next time we'll take pictures too...

One of the best biscuits I’ve ever had

I had the store on the list for a long time based on a recommendation from a YouTube video. To put it briefly. Coleslaw had no acid that you needed Fries taste very bitter The burger was nothing special except for the chicken The chicken itself is really juicy The breading is good too The ranch dip was just cottage cheese with herbs For about 14€ 5 tenders 12€ for the burger And €6 for the coleslaw I really didn't think it was good value for money

Great taste, very nice service. Unique on Torstrasse! Thanks !

I'm not a big burger fan, but this place really impressed me! The burger was incredibly tasty – juicy, fresh and with great ingredients. The flavor combinations were perfectly balanced and even I, a burger skeptic, was left wanting more.

Good food and nice service. Chicken Salad, Chicken Burger, Wings, Vanilla Milkshake and Pickles were our choises. I totally recommend this place!

Great Nashville wings! Very spicy.

This place had the potential of being “the chicken shop” in Mitte but will sadly end up closing because of bro-bad-service and out-of-touch ideas such as: charging 2€ per sauce, no tap water and spicier-than-hell kind of wings. Rather go to Yarok around the corner… they could teach this guy some hospitality.

- There is no tap water - Every sauce costs 1,70 euros and the portions are tiny - The chickens were way too spicy (even for a spice lover) - For some reason it wasn’t possible to order chicken WITHOUT mash

Food was fantastic. Waiter was very friendly but got 25% of our order wrong.

We liked the place and the chicken. I disagree with some of the negative comments I read below about the quality of the chicken. It was very good. However I will not give a 5 star because it is simple way too expensive. 18,5€ for a plate of fried chicken & mash… in total we payed 60€ and had only one main dish (for 2 people). So if you are ready to pay the price, go for it, I recommend!

If you are looking for something really unique near Rosenthaler Platz and love dishes with chicken, you will find it here: There are various chicken dishes, but also meatless ones, and the taste leaves no doubt that everything is homemade. The quality of the chicken is also excellent! And if you're still hungry afterwards, you should definitely try the banana pudding, which is probably only available here in Berlin: wonderfully creamy and not too sweet. The prices are completely reasonable and the advice is very competent and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Ordered through Uber. Food was absolutely disgusting. The fries tasted like old oil. Even the coleslaw and biscuit that came as sides to the veal ribs tasted terrible - just like the ketchup! I will never order at this restaurant again. Delivery took 1h15m and Uber only refunded 30% after complaining. Better stay away!

**delivery** Food arrived cold, but after a quick round in the air fryer- OMG It would be helpful if on the wings in the delivery apps there would also be portions in number or Grams for me. The M was perfect.

First-class wings, super juicy. They also went great in a sandwich with lemon sauce

Very tasty spicy chicken (really spicy - not German spicy ;) ). Nice, attentive service!

very expensive for not good quality meat

Best tenders and Calf ribs in town!

It is totally not worth it… Expensive and also very bland tastes. I had the chicken sandwich and the buffalo chicken tenders with ranch sauce (which did not taste like buffalo at all and the ranch isn’t even ranch). Almost every sauce costs extra. So many better alternatives out there in Berlin!

Really delicious everything! My favorites: the fried chicken (+buffalo sauce), biscuits, and banana pudding!!

Amazing food! Such good quality fried chicken, biscuits, banana pudding, everything was incredible

Not only is this way overpriced for what it is, the chicken is also completely inedible. It's the cheapest near quality you can get. The wings have broken chopped up bones inside and the flesh is super fatty. The Nashville wings are soaked in oil. It's just really disappointing that we paid 50€ for 2 people and we're not going to eat.

Excellent fried chicken. Very authentic southern USA style. The ribs and biscuit are also very good. Beware, the Nashville wings are extremely spicy.

The chicken sandwich is a poem 😋😋😋

*Update Second Visit* This time, I had the burger. Absolutely delicious. The spice level is excellent. The chicken so juicy and the bun so fresh. I love it. I loved my experience here. I came for the wings and I tried the smallest portion as I wasn’t sure if I could handle the spices. Well, I could. And I regret not ordering a bigger portion. So juicy, so crispy. So full of flavor. Loved it. The people are also super friendly. I’ll keep visiting

simply horrific. still dreaming about mash and chicken and that gravy. good wines too

This is the best fried chicken in Berlin. The seasoning was beautiful, not too salty but extremely tastey. The biscuit was basically butter, same with the mash, give me more please. Next time I will try the banana pudding for sure! The owner was very helpful and kind.

Best fired chicken ive ever had owner is very nice and I hope them all the best in the future if your in the area try it

I don't normally write reviews, but I really have to say something here. We ordered via Uber. It started with two sauces: organic ketchup – it was already sour and even had mold on it. Then the Louisiana Hot Sauce - the bottle was totally dirty, and it wasn't a bit of fresh dirt, it was ancient. Then we ordered classic wings, and they were anything but fresh. We've never seen such hairy wings before - really disgusting. All the food was gone and we threw everything in the trash. One star is actually too many.

NOLA - sehr zu empfehlen! Das Essen fein hergerichtet, lecker, vielseitig. Der Gastgeber/Inhaber umsichtig, sehr aufmerksam, nicht aufdringlich. Guter Service. Die Atmosphäre richtig entspannt. Schöner Gastraum - zum Wohlfühlen!

We were there. Best chicken north of the Alps! Everything freshly made. Cozy atmosphere. And also: a very thoughtful and good-humored host. Absolutely recommended 👍

Burgers are very tasty - and above all, in the beautiful atmosphere with the old bar and selection of drinks, you can also have 1-2 delicious beers or a glass of wine with your meal! Gladly again!

Very good food, nice & fast service and absolutely fair prices. I'll be back.

We tried both vegan and non vegan options. Both were so good I find myself craving it every week

El mejor pollo que he comido, ¡debe probar! Buen servicio y una bonita tienda con una gran selección de comida y bebidas. Perfecto para un buen almuerzo

hier gibt es Fried Chicken im New-Orleans-Style. Ich hatte ein Chicken Sandwich - sehr lecker! Ich hatte alle Extras geordert, und dann wird das wirklich eine scharfe, aber auch sehr leckere Nummer. Lediglich ein wenig größer hätte das Sandwich für den Preis für meinen Geschmack sein dürfen. Ansonsten eine klare Empfehlung!

The taste is bad and he brings the food late

exceptionally crispy and flavorful

Zugegeben, das Essen ist etwas teurer und die Art und Weise, wie angerichtet wird, kann man ohne zu übertreiben als schlicht bezeichnen. Entschädigt wird man aber durch sehr leckeres, knuspriges Hähnchen. Biscuits und Mash and Gravy müssen extra gekauft werden lohnen sich aber geschmacklich in jedem Fall. Funfact, es gibt eine mexikanische Cola, bekommt man auch nicht überall. Empfehlenswert ist auch der Bananenpudding auch wenn man auch hier beim Preis schon dazu neigt, eine Augenbraue hoch zu ziehen. Auf jeden Fall muss man auch die überaus freundliche Bedingung (Besitzer?) erwähnen. Insgesamt hat es viel Spass gemacht dort zu essen und Qualität hat eben ihren Preis.

Had the fried chicken and it was delicious. Great home made vibes too.

The options in sandwiches cost extra and it's not written in the menu or warned by waiter, which was annoying. Condomates for pommes are also extra. Chicken was tasty

Very tasty food!! The Nashville Hot Wing tasted great, but really spicy!

I ordered the fried chicken with mash and gravy. When the dish arrived, I realised it cost the same as ordering the items separately, but with half as much food on the plate! 👎🏼. The food tastes good, but the portions and menu aren't worth the price.

This place with a perfect cocked chicken. But be careful Nashville wings are hot ❤️‍🔥biscuits and gravy +mashed potato are just perfect 🤩 Highly recommend Atmosphere is ok but not awesome)

This is as close to New Orleans as you can find in Berlin! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food. It was good, and I hope they bring in more New Orleans style food!

Overpriced and under flavored sandwich. Pickles and cheese both cost extra (the cheese is a single slice of cheese and they charged me 2€…). Hot style was extra. There are tons of more reasonable and more tasty restaurants in the immediate area and I won’t be returning here. Also, rotkohl is NOT cole slaw lol!!

I recently ate at this place, and the experience was less than ideal compared to what I expected from the photos. I ordered the "lunch special" offer, which included an ice tea, some fries, and an extra small burger. I also added an additional slice of cheddar cheese to my burger and some ketchup, which increased my cost by nearly €3. While the fries and ice tea were good, the burger was below average. It was very small, had cold and unmelted cheddar cheese inside, and some parts of the chicken were a bit chewy. I left feeling let down after spending almost €18 for all this.

Unfortunately the food is too expensive for the quality. The barman who was also the waitress was super nice! But unfortunately the prices, even for the middle ones, don't match what's on the plate. The puree was super boring and poorly seasoned. The chicken was seasoned tastelessly and unfortunately almost not cooked through. I get it better at Rosentaler Platz at City chicken, almost in sight. So sorry because I think the concept is great

I was really impressed with the food! Everything was incredibly delicious. The mac and cheese was my absolute favorite — it was creamy and full of flavor. I also loved the ribs; they were cooked to perfection, tender, and full of smoky goodness. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience.

Great Mash&Gravy and the best chicken wings in the city!

Prices far too high for the quantity and quality of the dishes. The service is, however, rather pleasant.

Still & always the best southern fried chicken in Berlin 🍗🍗🍗

Chicken was good, service was very nice but prices were very high for the portions

Truly gorgeous chicken sandwich. Was talking about it all day.

The hot wings really bring wrinkles to your face - finally a dish that does what it promises. If you have concerns about spiciness, just add a milk shake. Cole slaw best in class.

¡Fue muy delicioso! Muy amable personal! También tenía una cola mexicana y también era muy delicioso! ¡Tenía pollo con puré y salsa! ¡La pechuga de pollo estaba muy húmeda! Piensa que la próxima vez volveré por la hamburguesa de pollo, porque se veía muy bien!

Everything was delicious. Biscuit was super fluffy, ribs were saucy, chicken was crisp and fresh, macaroni also perfect and the coleslaw was crunchy. And the fries were cooked to perfection! I loved every bite of this! The owner was also really friendly. Atmosphere indoor was nice, I enjoyed the music and open kitchen. There is also an outdoor seating area. Took cash and card. Would recommend HIGHLY

What a lovely place! Great food. Homemade. Delicious. The drinks were really good too. Would definitely recommend!

Bad service and rude behavior not recommended

Amazing, homecooked food. Great place to have a drink outside. Will definitely be coming back.

Ordered food there. Very high price for a tiny portion. Four small bones with the spare ribs for €20+. In my opinion, cheeky for a mediocre taste.

Too expensive. By the price and reviews, I was expecting this to be much better than other places’ fried chicken, but I was negatively surprised with the lack of flavor of the chicken. The texture is good, but portion size and flavor are not ideal for hungry people who are used to having spicy fried chicken.

The best chicken in town. There's nothing better

Great food, good price, not that noteworthy locale. It's definitely worth going out of your way to eat here, would come again

Rude owner should learn some manners food was not tasty at all when I complained he became rude

Super nice fried chicken, great meat, and amazing juicy flavor. I will definitely visit again!

Fried chicken is the order of the day and of course that's exactly what I ate. And to make a long story short, what they prepare there is incredibly good. But 20 euros goes away quickly, and I think it's just very expensive for a restaurant that comes across like a burger joint where you don't tend to sit comfortably together.

Extremely delicious chicken. One of the best fried chicken I have eaten here in Berlin. Clear recommendation. The burger is great but very spicy, be careful!

One of the best fried chicken on Berlin for me. Nice ambience, fast service. Their Biscuits are the hidden gem. Definitely going back for more.
