Big Arc Chicken East Village

I always wanted to try this place because their location is at very busy area almost near corner and they wud have all these small hens grilling next to display window outside so this is awesome marketing. However, it only looks good because grilled chicken is a bit dry and some outer parts I find myself discarding. I was not going to get drink but you definitely need it since chicken too dry to eat without beverage. It’s a great deal especially special which comes with rice & beans, salad, pita, and half chicken all for under $20! I was so full and can’t really go to KFC nearby afterwards. In all, it’s street food except they give you a place to sit and eat so can’t really complain or compare to fine dining. It’s also not a fancy place so don’t bring your date here.

Been coming here for years, one of the best places to eat in the east village, they used to be open 24 hours when I used to do deliveries it was my go to because I preferred worked nights.

I came last Saturday excited to taste again the usual lamb shanks that's cooked into perfection after several years. It's supposed to be tender and can easily fall out from the caveman size bone. To my disappointment, it's so hard to chew and even with the use of plastic knife it didn't help me slice all the meat. I asked them if they have changed their cook and just looked at me clueless. The servers are very accommodating. It's just the food that changed a lot and became more expensive compared before. I'm ok in paying but if you cannot bite or slice the meat then there's something that needs to improve. Also, i don't mind if the place small as long as the floor is clean and tables are not sticky.
