I came in for the fried chicken and waffle sandwich and got a side of collards. This is a good sandwich, full stop. A little gimmicky. I wish I had control of the sugar on the waffle, it’s too sweet for me. The collards want more savory in the pot liquor and if that’s not going to happen put some hot sauce on the counter.

Iyla's is a mandatory visit at Morgan Street. The food is always exceptional, the service is fast and friendly, and the bacon hush puppies will make your day! Wear your stretchy pants.

If you are looking for Nashville Hot Chicken in the Raleigh area, look no further! You must stop here! I had the Nashville Hot Chicken Mac & Cheese with the collards. The collards were great and so was the mac! They have 4 spice levels for the hot chicken with the last one, extra spicy, having a written warning against consumption. The extra spicy warning caused me to go with the hot, 3/4 on their spice scale. It was hot but if you have a high spice tolerance, it isn’t bad at all. I’m looking forward to going back and trying more incredible menu items. This restaurant is inside of Morgan Street Food Hall!

It's one of the best chicken places I have been to in NC so far. Service was super fast even though there were a ton of orders already going. I got the chicken and waffles, which was very good, and I enjoyed all of it.

Come here! If you seen this place on TikTok or any social media… it lives up to the hype plus more! I ordered the Nashville Hot chicken and mac bowl and it was so good that I purposely did not eat it all so I can have some later 😂 My friend ordered the hot chicken sandwich and I stole three tots of her plate. So d***n good: The person that gave them a one… Lies!

Owner/employee was super friendly and very helpful. I asked about the meat free options like the Mac and cheese and hush puppies, and he said they don’t contain any but asked if I was okay if fried in same oil as the other items. The hush puppies are great I recommend them. He let me know their shipment of grits did not get delivered and so I will have to come back to try those (sans shrimp). Thanks for being friendly and having great food!

Not only was the Nashville hot chicken, mac and cheese, tenders and tater tots delicious but Brandon was outstanding. Even though it was busy, he chatted with everyone and was super nice. We really enjoyed our meal here 🤩

What can I say about Iyla's...it's disrespectfully tasty. Every single time we've gotten food from here it's been great, without exception. The staff is always super nice. We love the BBQ Sundae and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Definitely recommend.

Service was fast and the food was good but the breading to the chicken tasted like it had something weird in it like too much baking soda or something. I am not a huge fan of tater tots personally but they made theirs very crispy and seasoned them with something like old bay or Bojangle’s fry seasoning. The Mac and cheese was very good but we were expecting a Mac and cheese “bowl” to have fried chicken chunks and it was really more like a big piece of fried chicken and a side of Mac all served in a bowl. Not my favorite chicken place in Raleigh but definitely worth a stop if you’re hungry and in the area.

The chicken tenders were perfection! 🤌🏼 From the breading, to the crunch, to the taste. I will definitely eat these again. The loaded tots were absolutely delicious as well! Perfect flavor all of the way around. Service was quick!
