  You know the stereotype of a hole in the wall having the best food? This is it! I visited this spot after reading about it here on Yelp. The food was really good but the prices & the hours are what keep me coming back. The food is consistently fresh. They give so much food that I've had to stop them several times. They're open until 11:00 pm but they often run out of food before then.
  
  It's always loud & packed with men. The guys behind the counter are personable and friendly. They're always in a rush though. No time to talk to you about the menu.
  
  I haven't had their signature dish yet - the rotisserie chicken but not because it doesn't look and smell good. I usually get rice with some of the meat & veggie stews. This has quickly become my go to spot whenever I'm hungry and don't know what I want to eat.

  My husband has talked about this place for ages, today I was lucky enough for him to bring us home a chicken with the pita bread and dip and I would have to say absolutely hands-down the best ever!!!!!  I can't wait after reading the reviews to go back and try the French bread Shawarma  A definite must try absolutely delicious

  Golden Chicken is a hole in the wall, dilapidated, hidden gem? Actually idk how to describe it? But how about this? It is about 90 degrees today and they have no AC. The seating booths, the floors, the entrance, the back, the parking lot look so rundown lol. But the traffic is bustling. I was there for a good 30 minutes waiting for my food and I think I saw 15 people come in and go out, some ordered inside, and some had pick up orders. Personally that's a sign of a good restaurant. I did a few walks around my car while waiting for food and this guy next to me said hello, i asked after greeting him how the food was? And he said he drove 45 minutes just to have some Golden Chicken and how their food is never old, fresh all the time because they get a copious amount of orders. It's hard to keep left overs.
  
  This got me even more excited. I order two chicken shawarmas(not pictured) and a mixed grill combo(comes with rice/salad). My total came to $21 or so. Mind you, this food was good for 5-6 people. The shawarmas were heavily filled to the brim with delicious season shawarma chicken. And a few pickles and lathered in my all time favorite garlic sauce. The mixed grill came with lamb skewer, beef shish kebob and grilled chicken kebab. On a bed of rice that could feed 4-5. It came with so many pita breads, a crazy amount of hummus and pickles(i guess thats the salad).
  
  The yellow rice was delicious, round grain. Had some carrots, and green beans and corn in the rice. The kebabs were delicious but the shawarmas were  memorable. Only $3.50 each, now that's cheap!
  
  Next time I'll try the whole rotisserrie chicken but my oh my, food is fresh, good and cheap. The quantity is crazy filling. Discovered this way too late but it's better than never!

  Hands down best beef shawarma sandwich I've ever had. I highly highly recommend. The pickles are also insanely good.
  
  The chicken shawarma is also really good. I ate both in one sitting, so I recommend both, but if you can only eat one, beef is the way to go.

  If I was just eating the food , I'd give 5 stars. But because the customer service is just inconsistent, I have to meet halfway. I've been here many times, sometimes they're insanely busy & other times not so much. The place itself is tiny. A couple tables, pretty outdated, not somewhere you'd wanna sit but more of a takeout.
  
  So I call and place my order about 15 minutes before I get to the area because I'm in a rush. Once I get there, I give em my name. "Oh we forgot about you" , huhhhhhhh??? They had forgotten to start my order - mind you it was just a sandwich - so I just waited. About 8 minutes later it was ready, but they forgot to even add the pickles. What's a sandwich without pickles? Another time I called for the same thing, they told me I can't order one I have to order two.. because it's a waste of chicken to make just one. The following time when I asked if I still had to order two the employee said he had no idea what I was taking about. Due to all of this I'd say the main issue is customer service consistency & a the unappealing interior.
  
  Aside from all of that. The sandwich was good. Chicken is good, fattoush is also good, everything is reasonably priced. The rotisserie chicken is the best here compared to other places in Dearborn. I think it's about 11-13$ for a whole. So it's a good price. I'd definitely come back, but I think they need to work on the service.
