About The Honest Chicken (Cherrybrook)

Free-range, air-chilled birds, hearty burger platters, and fragrant biryani make this Cherrybrook shop far more than a typical takeaway. Expect generous portions built for feeding a crowd—charred Portuguese chicken with real heat, crisp chips, and surprisingly tender grilled barramundi. Locals order custom spreads of roast crackling pork and fresh salads for weekend gatherings, while midweek regulars drop by for quick chicken schnitzel rolls or spiced prawn fry.

  • Ethically Sourced Poultry: Chickens are free-range, hormone-free, and air-chilled the traditional way before hitting the grill or rotisserie.
  • Unexpected Subcontinental Crossover: Alongside roast chicken and burgers, the counter serves authentic spiced chicken biryani, fish fry, and seasoned prawns.
  • Event-Ready Feast Platters: Abundant meat platters, roast pork with crisp crackling, and party-sized salad trays cater gatherings and celebrations.

  • Signature Aromatic Biryani & Spiced Dishes

    Subcontinental options like fragrant chicken biryani and spiced seafood expand the traditional suburban takeaway experience.

    Aromatic, generously portioned, and rich in taste, it’s definitely one of the best biryanis I’ve had in the area.
