Chicken Kitchen Shepherds Bush

If you ever find yourself near Goldhawk Road and craving bold Caribbean flavors with a modern twist, Chicken Kitchen Shepherds Bush is exactly where you want to be. Located at 120 Goldhawk Rd, London W12 8HD, this buzzing local gem brings serious heat-literally and figuratively-serving up some of the most talked-about jerk chicken in the area. Whether you’re popping in for a solo bite or grabbing a quick takeaway dinner, the vibe here is welcoming, energetic, and flavor-packed.

Let’s get one thing out of the way: this is not your average chicken shop. Chicken Kitchen Shepherds Bush takes comfort food classics and infuses them with island flair. You’ll find staples like Hot Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Macaroni, but they all come dressed up with bold seasonings, smoky glazes, and soulful sides that bring every plate to life.

One of the standout dishes that seems to have a cult following is the Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas. It’s everything you want from Caribbean cuisine: perfectly grilled chicken marinated in a house-made jerk sauce, served with fluffy rice studded with red beans. It’s spicy, smoky, and deeply satisfying. Looking for something a little more fusion? Try the BBQ Chicken Dumpling Burger-a messy, juicy combination of sweet and savory with a punch of heat. For those who want to keep it fun and unpredictable, the Wing Roulette is a must-try-imagine a platter of wings where every bite is a new adventure.

And don’t sleep on the sides. The Sweet Potato Fries are crisped to perfection, the French Fries come piping hot with just the right amount of salt, and the Poutine takes the classic Canadian dish and flips it with a jerk twist. Then there’s the Chicken and Waffles, a golden, syrup-drizzled beauty that hits that sweet-and-savory craving hard. Add a cold Ginger Beer from Australia or a refreshing Fruit Punch, and you’ve got a full-on flavor celebration in front of you.

If you’re rolling with friends or hungry enough for a food coma, the Dumpling Burger Jerk Chicken Flavour or the loaded Jerk Chicken with Mac and Cheeseburger are heavy-hitters that promise no regrets. They even serve Tlayuda, a Mexican-style street dish that feels right at home among all these international fusions.

Inside, the space is casual but cozy, with enough seating for a quick dine-in experience. The accessibility features make it easy for everyone to get in and enjoy-the entrance and seating are wheelchair-friendly, though parking nearby isn’t fully accessible. Still, it's super convenient thanks to its delivery, takeaway, and dine-in services. If you're on the go, this spot makes a killer quick bite option, and for those late-night cravings, they're one of the few in the area that keep the kitchen hot past sundown.

This place really shines during lunch and dinner hours, drawing solo diners, locals, and even the occasional tourist who’s heard the buzz. But brunch here is surprisingly popular too-especially if you’re in the mood for something bold and flavorful before the day really kicks in.

In a neighborhood full of food options, Chicken Kitchen Shepherds Bush manages to carve out its own space by serving food that’s equal parts creative, comforting, and crave-worthy. If you're in the area and in the mood for jerk-seasoned brilliance or fried indulgence with attitude, this kitchen delivers more than just chicken-it delivers flavor that sticks with you.

Was in London on vacation and this was the first place I went to, was the best food the whole trip. Best chicken wings I’ve ever had - got the wing roulette and every flavour was great. Peri peri fries were fantastic as well, but we don’t have them back home so I can’t really compare.

Honestly great customer service, a step up from all chicken shops that exist. Tia on the front desk is a sweetheart.

Food was really good! Came here with my family of 5, and we ordered the Fully Loaded Dumpling Burger, fried chicken strips, jerk chicken with rice and pea, and the chicken and waffle. Waffle is REALLY good, flavourful and pairs well with the spiced fried chicken! I had the honey on the side and it was really yummy My family basically finished the entire meal, clean plates all around. The service was good too, the person at the counter was nice Place is a bit cramped but enough to seat about 15 people? Seems that people usually get the food to go

Good food. Well priced. It's a small restaurant that has become immensely popular with the locals, so you can imagine it can get very crowded. Be prepared to wait 20 to just place an order. But it will be worth it in the end. They kept the menu simple and very much focused around the chicken with a good variety; jerk, grilled, BBQ and fried. The fries are so good here.

The food was delicious! Yummy! Mmmmm! Ordered Dumpling Jerk Chicken burger, Special chicken, Jerk Wings, BBQ Wings, normal Wings, normal fries and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious but the chicken pieces were a little dry. The Fruit punch was okay but overhyped. Worse part of this place was the waiting time, I waited about 50 minutes after my order. Took forever. And because of that I will not be returning. This place was also full of Hood Rats lol, they can’t pull their trousers up and also have their hands in their pants. Thought the prices would deter these kids.
