Cheeky Chicken

Cheeky Chicken is a halal takeaway on Wardlaw Place, a short road running between Gorgie Road and Dalry Road, trading under the expanded identity of Abdoukarim's Halal. The kitchen blends halal fried chicken — praised for generous portions and competitive prices — with a West African-inflected menu including Gambian jollof rice and traditional sweet rice cake, which sets it apart from the standard fried-chicken-shop format. The owner, known locally as Kareem, has built a neighbourhood following. Online ordering available via the restaurant's own website with a 10% discount, plus Uber Eats for delivery. Pizzas and wings are also on the menu. An independent with more character than its name suggests.
