About CROSS X CHICKEN (HALAL FOOD)

When 2 AM rolls around and the strip goes dark, Cross X Chicken answers with made-to-order halal comfort food. No tablecloths here—just communal benches, humming fridges, and serious portions in the heart of the Cross. Night owls zero in on the mixed kebabs, piled with spiced beef and chicken carved straight to order. The fried burger lands with a thick slab of crunchy thigh, melted cheese, and crisp slaw dripping with mayo. Prefer the grill? Portuguese chicken arrives charred and juicy beside roast pumpkin and sweet potato chips.

  • Late-Night Lifesaver: Frying and grilling made-to-order comfort food well past midnight when neighboring kitchens close.
  • Mixed Kebabs: Heaped plates of seasoned shaved beef and chicken carved fresh to order.
  • Crunchy Chicken Burgers: Thick fried chicken thigh fillets stacked with melted cheese, crisp coleslaw, and mayo.
  • Standout Sides: Golden sweet potato chips served alongside seasoned roast pumpkin, carrots, and potatoes.

Before you head over

Essential advice on peak late-night timing, counter service, and takeaway dining. Book your visit now to secure your next Kings Cross feast.

  • Timing Your Late-Night Visit

    Cross X Chicken operates late into the morning (~2am to 3am and 24/7), making it an essential destination when other area kitchens are closed. Peak night-shift rushes can cause brief order backlogs and uncleared tables while limited staff manage incoming orders, so expect meals to be prepared fresh on demand.

  • Speaking to the Counter for Off-Menu Requests

    If a favorite dish appears sold out or isn't visible on the menu board, speak directly with the counter staff. The team is known to prepare items like kebabs off-menu when requested and generously offer substitutions or complimentary sides if specific items run out.

  • Navigating Seating and Takeaway Options

    The interior is unpretentious and casual, centered around communal benches, self-serve fridges, and a shared sink. If you prefer skipping the crowded dining room during peak overnight periods, ordering hot charcoal chicken and sides for takeaway provides an effortless meal on your way home.
