★★★★★ 5.0 Hassan Hashmi · Mar 2026

Very lovely people and extremely friendly. They even gave us some free drinks with our catering, which was very kind of them. I've ordered catering from other places in Madison, but Fry Shack is definitely the best for halal food. The food tastes great and the service is amazing. Highly recommend!

Everything here is awesome. The masala loaded fries are crazy good full of flavor and perfectly done. Even the plain fries are the best I’ve ever had. Had to stop and write this because it was that good. The service is amazing too always welcoming and always with a smile. Highly recommend everyone try this small, family run fast food spot.

★★★★★ 5.0 aparna murthy · Dec 2025

I recently ordered from this place, and the food was absolutely amazing! I tried the masala chicken wings, dark meat masala fried chicken, masala fries, and samosa, and every single dish was well-cooked and full of flavor. What I loved most is that the food tasted fresh and light, even after eating a full meal. There were no artificial flavors, and the meats were incredibly juicy and tasty. This place is perfect for anyone who enjoys a delicious blend of Indian spices with American-style dishes. The spices elevate everything and make each bite even more enjoyable. Even the rice served with the fried chicken tasted authentic just like a good South Indian Bhai biryani! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for flavorful, well-prepared food with a unique fusion twist.

⭐ 5/5 Honestly, this is one of the best fried chicken spots I’ve found around here. The Indian-style masala fried chicken and wings taste amazing — the flavors feel so familiar and comforting. I tried their combo (sandwich, fries, and ghee rice), and it was absolutely delicious. That ghee rice with the chicken really took me back to my mom’s food. The best part? The prices are very affordable, and the place is run by a sweet, friendly family. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Highly recommend this place if you want good food, real flavors, and a homely vibe!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alexa Ross · Jan 2026

The Fried Shack is a great addition to the north side. The food here is really good, super affordable, and offers a fun mix of American and Indian/Mediterranean flavors. We tried the samosas, chicken sandwich, masala fries, and chicken gyro bowl and everything was fantastic for a really good price! The family that owns the place was extremely friendly too. Despite being in a gas station convenience store, the kitchen is large and clean. There are no spots to sit and eat, so plan on taking your food home or if the weather is nice, eating across the street at Warner park.
