    This place was awesome. It's quaint and friendly like you are at home. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. The food was top tier. The fried chicken was excellent, light and crispy! It's a cute spot to grab something to eat with your friends.

    I attended Black Hens' sister restaurant Amina back in March and decided to try their menu during Thanksgiving. They had wonderful customer service, and the cuisine was hot, comforting, and satisfying. The ambiance is close and quaint yet enjoyable. I look forward to taking out and dining in for future meals.
