Jollof Republic — Restaurant in Great Britain

Went into the store and ordered Suya Turkey which wasn’t great and didn’t have an allergy warning on it. My partner has a peanut allergy. Had no idea Suya had any nut form in it and he had some Suya turkey and wasn’t well. It would had been nice for the shop to advice that Suyas main ingredient is peanut People come to the restaurant to try new tasty foods but there was no urgency to telling me I even took some time ordering because It was my first time there and there was no recommendations or advice what could be in the food like most restaurants would have done. Even though I could have asked most seasonings don’t contain nuts but if a restaurants main ingredient in food is peanuts they always make people aware if it’s not explicit or they even say their food may contain traces of nuts because of cross contamination they’d have an allergy chart accessible and visible on the counter when ordering which Jollof Republic did not. The whole process of ordering and waiting for food was off and awkward. If you can see your food being made and for a take away you’d want to see some sort of fuss and rush but there was none it took 15-20mines to watch my Jollof rice be microwaved and a small pot turkey to be made it wasn’t busy. I’m honestly just disappointed I wouldn’t try the...

I ordered two portions of jollof rice with large beef suya from Uber Eats.The jollof rice had an unexpected sweet flavor, reminiscent of cinnamon. The rice itself was somewhat firm and chunky, as if it had been cooked days in advance and reheated in a microwave. The beef suya portion was disappointing, containing only 8 small pieces of beef for £9. While the beef was nicely prepared, it lacked the authentic suya taste and seemed more like beef sautéed with vegetables. I would rate the rice a 3/10 and the beef suya a 5/10. Despite being one of the few African restaurants in Leicester, I'm uncertain about ordering from here again. It's puzzling how this place maintains a high rating, as it seems many people might not be familiar with genuine...

Hate to leave a negative for a new startup but bitterly disappointed by the portion size of the £12 Jollof with Goat. I realise that you need to economise and tread carefully as a new business but 4 small cubes of curried goat next to 2 portions of rice looked meagre at best…it was almost embarrassing, I was eating with a friend and didn’t have the heart to take a picture.

Your food quality is good, the portions are rubbish, the lower end prices £6-8 are well priced, the £12 are way OTT for what we experienced (maybe the lady plating up was economising a tad too much) and fix the door, it doesn’t close property and it’s cold.

I’d love for you to thrive, and you will providing you take the above feedback...
