@halalfoodtherapy's review of Popeyes Stratford on Instagram

📍Popeyes, Stratford

This has been on my list literally since the day it opened. Every time I’ve been to Stratford I’ve taken a walk past to check the queues which FINALLY are starting to reduce. My husband saw a viral tweet of their spicy burger being “too hot” and as king and queen of spice (yes I did just say that), we had to check it out!

#naziaate:
➜ Spicy chicken sandwich deluxe meal - £8.95
➜ Biscuit + cajun gravy - £1.95
➜ 12 x hot wings - £8.95

Wings – soo nice, super flavoursome and crispy – probably the only thing I would return for.

Spicy chicken sandwich – you call that spicy? I didn’t rate at all, the chicken was dry and honestly not spicy at all – im not sure if I even received the spicy burger tbh? It was very bland, I couldn’t taste the herbs and spices they use in the chicken batter. I found it really dry if I’m honest which was such a shame bc of how much I enjoyed the chicken wings – a no from me.

Biscuit – the biscuit is basically a savoury scone. My was dryyyyyyy and super crumbly, I found it really hard to break off and dip into the gravy because it was so dry it just kept flaking off – another firm no from me.

Chips – the chips were good, I liked the seasoning.

Cajun gravy – this was really good! Super flavoursome.

I’ve seen so many varying reviews for Popeyes so I genuinely think your food will taste different depending on the day of the week and how busy it is. I wouldn’t be opposed to going again although I really don’t think it was worth the money (or hype which makes me sad bc I was soo eager to try!).

Have you been before? How was your visit? #naziaeats #naziaeatsout #naziaeatsburgers

@naziaeats's review of Popeyes Stratford on Instagram

I checked out the New @popeyesuk that's just opened up in Romford. The fast food fried chicken chain famous in the US. They have a location that opened Stratford but I've actually never been to that.

I visited yesterday and it was the first day. I was impressed with the customer service, they seemed to go out of their way to make sure everyone had a good experience.

Food wise its more pricer than kfc but the food definitely is of a better standard.

I definitely recommend the spicy chicken deluxe burger. It as a massive tender and juicy bit of chicken. The breading was crunchy, thick and packed full of flavour. I'd go back for that. Really good chicken burger.

Also got a chicken sandwich, which was good but didn't compare to the deluxe burger.

I ordered some signature 3 peice of chicken (the girl out the tills made a mistake and gave me tenders) they fixed this error very quickly and didn't charge me for the chicken I wanted and I kept the tenders. Bosd man gave me 4 peices as well.

I thought the tenders were great and worth getting. I was surprised with the size of the chicken drums, it almost looked like a wing or maybe a baby chicken. Tasted good nevertheless, I really like the crunchy texture of the chicken here.

The milkshakes and fried are good as well. No complaints with the food or service here, food came out within 10mins. If you are local Romford definitely check this spot out. 

All chicken is halal. No alcohol. I paid for my meal.

I got @popeyesuk delivered in West London! Here's what I thought

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen

A great place to buy fried chicken. Great options, a nice selection of wings, sandwiches and friend chicken.
The spicy chicken sandwich had a nice slow burn, the fries had a good seasoning to it. The biscuit was soft, crumbling and buttery taste. Chicken pieces were cooked to perfection,  a lovely tasting crunchy exterior and soft well cook chicken.
A great experience and much better than KFC. It's a shame they don't deliver and you ha e to be very patient with the ques, as you can wait a very long time to get your food.

Is this the best fried chicken America has to offer us? After all the hype on social media about your chicken? This? Surely not, I feel sorry for you guys honestly. This food was absolutely disgusting. If it's possible for food to die again after it has been cooked then that's what happened here, this chicken was hit with death twice. Dry, factory flavoured yet flavourless somehow, overcooked, looked like it had been fried 15 times yet cold even after ordering it and waiting on that "fresh batch" type of waiting time. The biscoff drink was the only thing that was nice but since you was already in minus points it doesn't save you from me telling anyone who is thinking of visiting your "food" place to STAY AWAY AT ALL COST. Save your money and save your time. I definitely do not recommend. Not once, not ever.

The food was great. We tried a little of everything. Spicy chicken sandwich was really nice. It definitely had a nice spicy. The wings and pieces had a nixe crunch.
Cajun fries were on point. For the vegetarian the Cajun red bean burger was really good. The American style biscuit was good but not as fluffy as it should have been. We may have gotten a over done batch.

Not a usual eater of fast food. Gladly surprised by the spicy chicken sandwich. Super crispy and flavoursome. Really liked the hot wings as well. The mango habanero sauce had a lovely flavour with a decent amount of spice. Chips were not good at all. But they were from a delivery so it was expected they were going to be bad. Next time I will try them in their restaurant.

Heard a lot of great things about this place, I've been wanting to go for a while but theyve had over 30min queues for over a month since they opened...each time I visited the lines were way too long to wait...finally I had my chance and went to order several items.

First of all the spicy chicken burger is nice...also compared it to the non spicy version which was very bland... with this the spice definitely brings out the flavours and you're missing out if you opt for the other one. The cheese they use lacks flavour compared to other cheesy burgers I've had.

The hot wings are great in flavour but the batter is a bit thin for my preference, I've had better.

The fries look great with the seasoning and a bit of skin on and the taste is good (not amazing or anything but just about good).

I did the mistake of adding a biscuit for dessert...these aren't desserts...instead you get a bland tasteless cracker/scone with nothing to put on?...I got this based on recommendations online... I'm confused with what this goes with! Am I supposed to dip this in gravy or something which I didn't order? I think they should've made this clearer for the non American folks...as its sold individually rather than as part of a set of items... it was a disappointing discovery at the end of the meal.

Overall they really handled the spicy flavours well but I'm not too fond of the other aspects described above...glad to have seen what the hype was about but I'm not impressed enough to pay that much for another visit unless I'm already in the area, the queue is short and I'm bored of the abundance of other options available around this place.

We recognise that different folks have different tastes and needs, everybody is welcome. Which is why all of our chicken is Halal at our Stratford restaurant and our halal certification from the Halal Monitoring Board will be available in our restaurant.
