About Simba's Hot Chicken (north York)

Simba's Hot Chicken, located at 16 Mallard Rd, North York, ON, is a must-visit destination for anyone craving delicious Nashville-style hot chicken. Known for its fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned chicken tenders, this spot offers an authentic taste of Southern fried chicken with a unique twist. The tenders are generously portioned, with each piece measuring around 5” by 1.5/2”, making for a satisfying meal. Every order is made fresh, ensuring that the food is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, though this means there might be a short wait time.

The menu features a range of options, from tender platters to flavorful sandwiches. A popular choice among diners is the Feast for 2 deal, which includes two sandwiches, six jumbo tenders, and two drinks, making it a great option for sharing. For those who enjoy a spicy kick, the tenders come in various spice levels, with the medium spice being a perfect balance of heat without overwhelming the palate. The extra hot option is available for those who seek a more intense flavor experience. Simba's is also known for its smash burgers, which are full of flavor and come with an ample serving of pickles, adding a tangy crunch to each bite.

One of the standout items on the menu is the Biscoff milkshake, which has been described as irresistibly good, perfectly complementing the savory dishes. While the fries are crispy and have a spicy kick, they might lack flavor on their own, but are saved by the accompanying dipping sauce. It’s worth noting that the food is best enjoyed fresh, as some customers have mentioned that delivery orders can sometimes arrive cold.

The atmosphere of the restaurant may feel like a cafeteria-style setup, and while the food court tables could be cleaner, the quality of the food makes it a great stop for a casual meal. Whether you're visiting late-night or grabbing a bite during the day, Simba's Hot Chicken is sure to satisfy your cravings for flavorful fried chicken and more.

What Our Customers Say

“ The chicken tenders were delicious. They were juicy, crispy, and well seasoned. Portions were generous. Most pieces were about 5” by 1.5/2”. I also ordered the fries. They were spicy and crunchy, but soft on the inside. Each order is made fresh to order. So there is a wait time. It’s my first time, so the owner Waeel recommended the medium level spicy for me. It was just enough kick for my taste buds. My friend ordered extra hot tenders, just in case. We ordered too much to eat in one sitting There was a constant stream of customers. Most got the Feast for 2 deal, which consists of 2 sandwiches, 6 jumbo tenders and 2 pops. I will be back for the tenders and to try the smash burger! (The food court tables were sticky and uncleaned, hence the atmosphere was a 4. The bathrooms were cleaned and has good quality toilet paper ) ”

“ Great place for Nashville hot chicken. Chicken is cooked fresh and juicy. Very well seasoned. Has a nice searing to eat at. Would definitely recommend this place for late night food grabs. ”

“ Inside a cafeteria style building is this sandwich joint that sells smash burgers and fried chicken sandwiches. Really great and flavourful burgers and tons of pickles. I usually don’t love pickles but these burgers make it work. Their biscoff milkshake is also mouth watering good. One thing I would change is their fries. Slightly on the flavourless side and is saved by their dipping sauce…but by itself it’s lacking for sure. Food is good to eat on the spot…but when we ordered it on UberEats another time it arrived cold. I’d ask the owners to improve how they pack their food to ensure it’s still warm upon arrival. Highly recommend to try this place out if you need a break from typical fast food burgers. ”

“ Simba’s Hot Chicken: A Fiery Delight Simba’s Hot Chicken has quickly gained a reputation as a go-to spot for those who crave a bold and spicy dining experience. On my recent visit, I was eager to see if the buzz around this place lived up to the hype. From the moment I walked in, the casual and vibrant atmosphere made me feel right at home. The menu is straightforward but enticing, featuring various levels of heat to cater to all kinds of spice enthusiasts. I decided to start with their signature Hot Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was crispy and juicy, with a coating that packed an impressive punch of heat. The spice level was intense but well-balanced, allowing the flavors to shine through without overwhelming my taste buds. The sandwich was topped with crunchy pickles and a creamy slaw that provided a refreshing contrast to the heat. For sides, I opted for the seasoned fries and coleslaw. The fries were perfectly cooked – golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The coleslaw was fresh and creamy, offering a cool respite from the fiery chicken. Simba’s also offers a variety of house-made sauces, and I couldn’t resist trying the spicy ranch. It was a delightful addition, providing an extra layer of flavor and a touch of creaminess that paired well with the hot chicken. The service was friendly and efficient, with staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations based on my spice tolerance. The portions were generous, making it a great value for the quality and quantity of food. Overall, Simba’s Hot Chicken delivers on its promise of a fiery and flavorful experience. Whether you’re a spice lover or just looking to try something new, this place is sure to leave you satisfied and coming back for more. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu options. ”

“ Smash burger was fire. Chicken tenders had good flavor but the breading kept falling off. Fries were seasoned proper. ”
