Lunch at Chicken King

Got lunch to go at Chicken King Express yesterday, in the little shopping area at Foothill and Mayflower. I had the Chicken Tarator with hummus and pickles (or you can get rice instead of pickles) for $9.95.  I’d never had it before. It’s a cold dish and very good - and a lot of it. I’d look at the menu online and call it in to save some time. Here’s the website (https://goo.gl/6VW3mC) and here’s the phone: 305-3111.

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture before I started eating, so the picture shows a slightly damaged dinner. Anyway, it was just fine and quite filling.
