Fritou

Fully halal fried chicken counter on Saddletowne Circle NE in the northeast, one of seven Fritou locations in Calgary. The menu is chicken with fries, hot sauce and gravy, plus burgers, pizza and fish and chips. Chicken is the thing to order. When it is fresh, the skin is crisp and the meat juicy, and the portions are big. Combo meals are the better value. Quality does vary by visit: on a bad day the pieces can be dry, the fries can taste of tired oil, and the fish is small for the price. Before you go Go when it is busy. Fries can take about ten minutes, so plan for the wait. It is mostly a counter, good for a family or a group meal. Check your order before you leave, both the count and that the chicken is properly cooked, since the odd box has come up short or underdone.

Very disappointing experience at Fritou Chicken in Saddletown. On September 5, 2026, I ordered 6 pieces of chicken but received only 5 pieces. Even more concerning, some of the chicken was undercooked. After eating the food, I became sick and experienced symptoms that I believe were food poisoning. Serving undercooked chicken is a serious food-safety concern. On September 6, I called the restaurant and explained what happened to one of the workers. I asked to speak with the owner, but I was told that the owner would call me back. I waited more than 30 minutes, but I never received a call, so I decided to go to the restaurant myself. When I arrived, I waited another 10 minutes while the owner asked me to wait. Eventually, I was able to speak with him. He did offer me a refund, which I appreciated, but my main concern was not simply getting my money back. I actually like their chicken and wanted the correct order and properly cooked food. What disappointed me most was the lack of consideration for my time and the way the situation was handled. At the end, when I was given the replacement chicken, I could hear the owner telling the staff to ask me to check the chicken to make sure it was cooked. I understand the importance of checking the food, especially after what happened, but the way it was communicated came across as rude and made an already frustrating experience worse. I hope the owner takes this feedback seriously. Customers' time and concerns should be treated with respect, and food should always be properly cooked and the order should be complete. I hope the restaurant improves its food-safety practices and customer service.

Definitely gone downhill. The fries had a weird taste to them last time like they were not in fresh oil. The chicken pieces were extremely dry to the point I could not eat the meat in the photo. The fish piece was shocking because it was so small to cost $5 from the "fish and chips"! The hot sauce is very salty and not spicy. Would not recommend.

Be careful when they make your food and all these sauces they might spit in your food! Very rude in what said about the customers. Chicken was undercook pulling the skin

Fritou Saddle Town – Crispy, Juicy, halal & Full of Flavor! Fritou in Saddle Town is hands down one of the best places in Calgary for fried chicken. The chicken skin was incredibly crispy, perfectly seasoned and absolutely packed with flavor – every bite was a treat! You can tell it’s freshly made, not greasy, just the right crunch with juicy meat inside. The fact that the food is halal makes it even better for those of us looking for delicious halal options. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The combo meals are also a great value for money. If you’re a fan of crispy, well-seasoned chicken, especially that golden, tasty skin, Fritou is a must-try!

Fritou never misses. The chicken is always crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned all the way to the bone. Portions are huge and the fries are perfectly crispy. Staff are super friendly FILIPINA LADY she always gave me 100% customer satisfaction i forget her name ..Worth every penny and the 10-min wait for fresh, made-to-order food. This is our go-to spot!

So I ordered three snack boxes today.Two got delivered, and when I called the store to talk to whoever took the order. She started telling me don't shout, which I was just frustrated. And it wasn't shouting at all. Because being a single mom, not working every money counts, and when I talk to Uber, they said, it's not refundable, and I thought, now, who's gonna deliver and do I have to pay more for delivery? All those things were running in my head and why not
