Thankfully, the Los Angeles based company has managed to live up to the hype and is the first preference for authentic fast food lovers.
After building a dedicated customer base for their gourmet burgers, Fatburger has now introduced their latest offering, Buffalo’s Chicken, which has been launched specifically keeping in mind the Pakistani market’s taste buds.

Speaking about the unique selling point of Buffalo’s Chicken, CEO Fatburger [BIL Foods Pvt. Ltd.] Mr. Amer Kamal stated, “The USP is that Buffalo’s Chicken is a product of international brand Buffalo’s which specializes in chicken globally. We have used a special technique which ensures the spices and herbs are marinated thoroughly to ensure flavor in every bite. Then of course like all other products that fall under Fatburger/Buffalo’s, the chicken used is of the highest quality available and prepared fresh every time an order is placed, unlike other joints where food is processed and ready to serve”.
