Dave’s Hot Chicken brings its famously fiery flavours to Shaftesbury Avenue, marking the brand’s first UK restaurant and setting the stage for even more openings to come.
What started as a humble street food pop-up in East Hollywood has exploded into a global sensation—backed by big names like Drake, Samuel L. Jackson and Usher. Now, Londoners can finally get a taste of those spicy chicken sliders and jumbo tenders that made Dave’s legendary.
The West End location is spread across two floors and features bold, graffiti-inspired interiors that nod to both its LA roots and the buzz of nearby Piccadilly Circus. Spice levels range from no-heat to the infamous “Reaper” (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds), and the menu pairs perfectly with sides like creamy mac and cheese and refreshing kale slaw.
Whether you're fuelling up before a show or just craving a serious chicken fix, Dave’s Hot Chicken is a must-try for flavour lovers in the capital.
