Halal Reviews for Rita's Reign

Rita’s Reign is my go-to - and for good reason. It’s always been fantastic value. Prices have gone up recently, like everywhere else, but it’s still good value for what you get. The Large portion size is absolutely massive - enough to keep you full all day. The jerk chicken is outstanding: smoky, tender, and full of flavour. It comes smothered in a rich sauce that’s delicious, though on the salty side - worth noting if you're sensitive to salt. You can choose between Jollof rice and rice ’n’ peas. Both are excellent: the Jollof brings a spicy kick, while the rice ’n’ peas is hearty and satisfying. The jerk chicken is tastier than the curry goat, in my opinion. Every meal is rounded out with fresh coleslaw and salad, which really balances the plate. More places should follow that lead. Long lines are common, but move quickly - a short wait is worth it. Everything is halal. This place delivers.

i cannot spend a week without getting Rita’s jerk chicken…it’s always so delicious. i like getting both jollof rice and the rice n peas :) get the plantains too! so nice. the queue can be long but don’t let that deter you from trying! cause the line usually moves quickly.

The guys in our Manchester office rave about Rita's, so when I paid my monthly visit they took me here. I was not impressed. Jamaica is one of my favourite holiday locations, and I cook goat curry and jerk chicken at home. The fusion box of goat curry, Jerk chicken and rice and peas was bland and mild to say the least. I don't think it was authentic at all. I've certainly never had jerk that had no taste. Maybe this is Rita's British twist? I won't be returning. Rated 3 stars purely on the portion size, which was massive.

As always very friendly staff and excellent food. I went for the curry goat box with rice and peas and would highly recommend.

Great effort I been a regular at Kool Runnings in chorlton which I still think is the best in flavour but Rita done a very good job , I have tried many carribean food across manchester and they usually very bland but it's decent here ,of course it would be better if they add even more seasoning like kool Running do . I got a fusion mix box for £11 that has jollof rice , rice and peas , curry goat and boneless jerk chicken with tinybamountbof coleslaw and salad Portion sizes are small they sell this mix fusion for £10 regular and large for £11 which really shpuld be called small and medium They should do a big square tray and call that large. Prices are on the high end Overall I rate it 4 stars and it has potenial Menu uploaded Nov 2024
