Hani (sandwich)

The Hani or chicken finger pita wrap is a sandwich from Detroit made from fried chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and mayonnaise, all wrapped in pita bread.

[2] It was invented in 1985 by a line cook named Hani who worked at the National Coney Island at Mack Avenue and Seven Mile Road in Detroit.

[2][3] The Hani may have started as a staff meal where the cook would prepare it for his co-workers, but later it was added to the menu.

[1][3] In May 2023, National Coney Island launched a spin-off restaurant called Pop's Hani Shop dedicated to the sandwich located in Royal Oak, Michigan.

[1][6][7][8] National Coney Island even trademarked the name in response to various establishments serving the dish and calling it the Hani.
