Roosters Piri Piri - Portsmouth — Restaurant in Portsmouth

PLEASE BE ADVISED THIS REVIEW IS OF THE SOUTHSEA BRANCH ONLY, AS UNFORTUNATELY THIS SHOP HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE CHRISTMAS 2022, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE NORTH END BRANCH.

(((((( 54...ALBERT ROAD SOUTHSEA ....NOT THE NORTH END, BRANCH...))))))) WOW WHAT BEAUTIFUL FOOD, THE BEST RICE IN SOUTHSEA PORTSMOUTH..... WOW WHAT BEAUTIFUL FOOD, THE BEST RICE IN PORTSMOUTH...

I have been to this Most Excellent restaurant many times, mostly for take aways, as you can see from my pictures, this restaurant is brilliant, as well as the staff are Brilliant... The Food & Drinks are Too Notch Nosh.... & the prices are really reasonable,... To me the Chicken 🐔, rice 🍚 & chips 🍟 are outstanding & the Coca cola, is refillable... The Staff are very friendly, especially "" Bibin"" who makes you feel, right at home and at ease.... Good work Mr Bibin..... ( maybe when you go in, please ask for Bibin)... Very clean toilets 🚻 very clean restaurant, very nice staff.... Just I'm not to keen on the rap music 🎶 being played,," as I'm old school" Tables have plugs to charge your phone and handy USB plugs.... Hope the pictures will do justice... As ever picture says 1000 words... (nice touch in toilet...

We were looking forward to this...as a working family who dont have to many treats. Paying £37 for 3 takeaway meals....we were expecting something special.

Sadly this really was not the case... I ordered the "BIG BOSS" Burger...for £7.49. Other family members ordered chicken wraps........ My review of the "BIG BOSS" burger.... disgusting....beyond disgusting...I have had more cheese in a Prawn Mayo sandwich from Tesco for 99p..and more moisture in a bag of blue circle cement.... and BIG???? How can you lot even nearly describe it as that? Vile disgusting dry overpriced dogcock... And while it's obviously a chicken takeaway shop....which led me to try the chicken (maybe they just cook chicken properly) as bought by the other householders.....only to find that the chicken was also just as vile. It was actually drier than Gandhi's flip flop...and with as much taste as Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen....and the chips...I hear you ask?. DRY FILTHY DOGNOB..

So my basic review of this place....if you want to spend getting on for £40 for 2 chicken wraps and a big daddy burger....and some chips...by all means. Do it...

If you want value for money...Do yourself a favour. Go to Tesco. Get yourself some Rustlers burgers...Some microchips. And never ever ever go near...

Me and partner fancied trying this place in north end for sometime,so last night we took the oppertunity to go in for an evening meal. First thing that annoyed me was the lad on the till couldnt speak good,or understand english. Bossman steps forward to sort out the order,so that got sorted. The food when it came,was quite nice and flavoursome,but disappointingly, very expensive for what you get. An example,my partners starter was king prawns costing £5.49. A bowl was put down with 5 smallish kingprawns and a drizzle of piri sauce. RIP OFF. My starter of beef strips was ok,but 6 little strips and sauce 4.99. Too dear. The main course of a whole chicken was tasty and well flavoured,but the size of the chicken was very small,overpriced. Although this meal was quite nice,we both left hungry,so 31 quid lighter and no drinks on that,we went off...
