"Best hot chicken in Philly!"
— A local favorite
Every dish is built from scratch — crispy chicken fried to order, gyros spitted to perfection, and sides that actually fill you up.
Buttermilk-brined, double-fried, and tossed in your choice of heat level. From "just a whisper" to "why is my tongue on fire."
Thinly sliced seasoned meat, melted cheese, tomatoes, onions, and our signature tzatziki — all wrapped in warm, pillowy pita.
Stack your plate with chicken, a gyro, fries, coleslaw, and a drink. The combo plates are built for people who are actually hungry.
Fries, loaded fries, coleslaw, rice & beans, and more. Because a meal isn't complete without something on the side.
Our house-made sauces range from creamy garlic to Carolina-reaper hot. Pick your poison — or try them all.
Soft drinks, bottled water, and cold options to wash it all down. When the heat hits, you'll want something cold on ice.

Baz's Hot Chicken & Gyro started with a simple idea: serve food that actually tastes like it was made by someone who cares. Every batch of chicken is brined, battered, and fried fresh. Every gyro is wrapped with the same care your grandmother would approve of.
Located right here in Philadelphia on Lancaster Avenue, we've become the go-to spot for people who want real flavor without the pretense. No frozen shortcuts. No mystery meat. Just crispy, spicy, satisfying food that keeps people coming back.

"Honestly the best hot chicken I've had in Philadelphia. The medium heat is perfect — spicy enough to make you notice it, but you can still enjoy every bite. The gyros are incredible too."

"Stopped by on a whim and now I come here at least twice a week. The gyro is legit — the tzatziki is homemade and you can tell. Fast service, friendly people, great vibes."

"The fire level is no joke — I tried it once and I'm still recovering in the best way possible. If you like real heat with your food, this is the place. The loaded fries are also dangerously good."
