N Y Chicken & Biscuits operates out of a modest storefront on Farmington Avenue in Hartford, the kind of small shop several reviewers admit they might have driven past without noticing if not for a recommendation. Once inside, the halal menu and quick service have turned first-time visitors into regulars, with wait times described as short even during what would otherwise be a busy lunch or dinner rush.
Chicken over rice is repeatedly named as a favorite, with the white meat specifically praised for staying juicy and well seasoned rather than drying out, a common complaint at lower-quality fast-casual chicken spots. The Spicy Zinger burger has earned its own dedicated praise, with reviewers describing the patty's crunch and the sauce coming together for what more than one customer called one of the best chicken burgers they've had anywhere. Portion sizes come up often in feedback, with reviewers specifically noting how much food comes with each order relative to the price paid. Fried chicken paired with hot fries is another combination mentioned as a standout, alongside a chicken rice and salad option served with extra white sauce for guests who like a bit more flavor on their plate.
Staff are consistently described as friendly, and the restaurant's halal certification makes it a reliable option for guests with dietary requirements who might otherwise have fewer fast-food choices nearby. With hours extending to midnight every day of the week, N Y Chicken & Biscuits works well for a late dinner as well as a standard lunch stop, and its combination of large portions, halal options, and consistently good seasoning has made it a dependable go-to for Hartford-area diners looking for chicken done well without a long wait. Its unassuming exterior belies a menu that regularly earns comparisons to far more established fried chicken chains, with several reviewers specifically noting they'd choose it over bigger, more recognizable names in the area. For anyone in Hartford in search of a filling, well-seasoned halal meal without a long drive or a long wait, N Y Chicken & Biscuits has quietly built the kind of loyal following that keeps a small storefront busy night after night.

Nice takeout restaurant my favorite is lamb over rice, one of the few places left where you can get it. Food is mostly cooked to order and best of all the open late
Great service, super fast, yet really good food. They must have perfection kitchen prepping with how fast and good the food is!The only downside is they wouldn’t tell me the secret ingredient to there amazing white sauce!
The service is always awesome when we come here. The people that work there are so friendly. The food is so good. The fried chicken is always fresh and perfectly made. Just a really great spot.
I lived in Hartford for 6 1/2 years and this is hands down the best chicken cheese steak. The chicken over rice with lettuce and the white sauce is also amazing. I’ve moved out of state and can’t find anything even close to this.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5
Came here on my lunch break owner was hovering the front. Order a meal w/ drink sat in the car. Two came in and got food before which is crazy gave me two thigh a leg n wing. Which i didnt want accuse me that he gave a soda. Im like the other two black woman got soda not i check the camera. Rude and just horrible dont waste ur time and i was late coming back. Just because its in the hood you got to treat people wrong. Chicken dry n old
I have been coming here for years. Used to be a place where you sat down and ate. Now there aren't any tables which I get due to the area perhaps. The food is good, I love the chicken with fries. The service is always nice, just the area at night it ain't the best. But overall a great place to call, order your food, and grab it.
Food is really good, and portions are huge! Tried the chicken rice and salad with extra white sauce.
Best lamb over rice i ever had.the rice was cooked well had flavor. Lamb meat cooked like homemade curry not one of those frozen meat patties. Salad dressing was awesome.
