Chips n Dat

You're walking down Kingsland Road in Dalston when the smell hits you—proper fried chicken, the kind that makes you forget every chain restaurant version you've ever had. Chips n Dat takes the simple formula and executes it with real care: crispy exterior, juicy meat, and sides that don't feel like an afterthought. The place has that casual, unpretentious vibe that Dalston does so well, and the near-perfect reviews suggest locals keep coming back because the food genuinely deserves it. Whether you're grabbing dinner after drinks or need something decent on a weeknight, this is the spot that actually delivers.
