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 bought the large £11 which said came with salad but when I got to the till I was charged £12.50 I assume this was for the added salad at the end but wasn’t told the extra price? It says by the box deal it comes with it! The meat was tough and a lot of skin and fat. Didn’t enjoy it at all wasted most of it :( won’t go there again

Curry goat tasted expired and the flavour was appaling, plantain had most definitely gone off and was swimming in so much oil - the food was very unpresentable. The plantain was very squashed and looked as tho its been trampled on. This is not something you give away for free let alone to a paying customer. I couldnt even finish my food

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.

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.
