We were super excited to try this spot bc it’s Halal and soul food, the owners are super kind and welcoming. We tried the 8 piece, the bbq sandwich, the collard green, mash and gravy, as well as the Mac and cheese…. EVERYTHING WAS A HIT. I mean the greens just melt in your mouth, and the brisket sandwich was savory and a little sweet, we were recommend to add coleslaw on it and it just added to the layers of flavor. The chicken was crunchy and flavorful, some pieces had a little extra spice which was really nice honestly. They had fresh juices, I had tropical punch and my friend had passion fruit, they were both delicious. We were also given a sample of the peach cobbler and the sweet potato casserole and ohhhhh my gosh!!! I’m in love w the sweet potato casserole. Everything was affordable and fresh, absolutely no notes. Can’t wait to come back

This place is a hidden gem for Trini fried chicken. The service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the chicken with spicy wedges. The chicken was incredibly tasty, crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside and packed with great flavor. The spicy wedges were delicious as well, though I wouldn’t mind a little more heat to really bring up the spice level. Overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be back to try other items on the menu and get more of that delicious fried chicken.

My first time trying this spot, I walked in and it smelled so good!!! received a super warm greeting, I ordered a 10 PC family dinner(for my hairstylist), and a 3 piece combo and peach cobbler. When I walked out I got in my car and started eating the chicken and I couldn’t stop! The chicken was so flavorful and tender I had eaten 2 pieces before I knew, I had to go in and order my daughter a separate 2 piece I wasn’t sharing my third piece lol. The customer service wonderful they treat you so kind as if you are a regular I forgot their names but I think Melissa and Kahlil were 2 I remember I will definitely be back to try the catfish:) I tasted the cooler too it was delicious and homemade!!! thank you so much for great food and service!!

Hands down the best fried chicken and biscuits you’ll find in Broward. I drove from WPB and it did not disappoint. I tried the drum, thighs, wings and tenders… all cooked to perfection with each bite full of flavor and moist till the last bite. The waffles were light, fluffy and had a little sweetness which matched perfectly with the tenders. And you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Philly. Definitely taste the spices of Trinidad and the love that was put into making these dishes… down to the potato wedges!

Everything starts with customer service for me and they exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely delicious. Loved the spicy breaded wings and fries, everything was cooked to perfection and tasted fresh. Best fried chicken I’ve had bar none, both spicy and regular were a hit for me and my family. Will be trying the fish and shrimp on my next visit. I highly recommend stopping by, you will definitely be hooked after one visit.

Seasoned to the bone indeed and packed full of flavors in and out. Really recommend Kings Original in Lauderhill. My wife and I briefly saw the owner when we walked in on Sat, Jan. 17. He promoted the deal of $1 per wing for today, Jan. 18, 2026 and for Super Bowl Sunday.
Ordered 10x crispy, 10x honey hot and 10x island BBQ. All types of wings were wholesome and tasty to eat. We will be back again in the near future. Plenty of parking outside.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ King Original – Home of the Spicy Chicken does NOT miss!
King Original, Home of the Spicy Chicken, is hands down one of the best Trini fried chicken spots in South Florida. This place was recommended to me by Tariq the owner of Wok N Lime, and he was absolutely right—another great Trini establishment representing the culture and the flavors properly.
The chicken is consistently crispy, perfectly fried, and packed with amazing Trinidad-style spices that hit every time. The flavor goes all the way through—bold, savory, and addictive. You can tell this isn’t rushed food; it’s done with care and experience. Every visit delivers a great-tasting, satisfying meal, no shortcuts.
South Florida is lucky to have spots like this that keep the Trini food scene strong and authentic. If you love real Caribbean flavor and crave fried chicken done the right way, King Original is a must-stop.
Keep it up—this place sets the standard.

May Be the Best Fried Chicken Restaurant in Florida!
In November 2025, I saw an article online entitled “The Best Fried Chicken Restaurants in Every State.” Of course, I had to check and see which restaurant was chosen for Florida. I was surprised to see that they had chosen “King’s Original” in Lauderhill, which is only a 15-minute drive from me. I did not know about this restaurant, but my wife and I have now eaten there three times, and we have found that the food is always outstanding. They have several styles of chicken, including spicy. In addition, they have chicken sandwiches, brisket, tenders, and shrimp combo.
As a certified country boy, I was pleased to find out that they have fried okra, fried chicken gizzards, and biscuits as well. We have now tried all of these, and they are excellent. For desserts, they have peach cobbler and sweet potato/pecan pie. The peach cobbler tastes like homemade.
The restaurant itself is small and is designed mostly for takeout. However, they have several tables inside, so you can also dine in the restaurant.
If you like fried chicken, I highly recommend that you visit King’s Original. You can easily find their website and information.
