    • Oluwagbeminiyi A. ★★★★ They served well... Though I feel they were understaffed. But not a bad experience overall.
    • Dooshima V. ★★★★★ Got a refuel combo (fried rice and chicken) and meatpie. The chicken was great and well cooked 9/10. However the rice was slightly overcooked 6/10. The worst was the meatpie. There was no meat in the pie. It would have been better off getting a meatpie at the pie express in front of the chicken Republic. Overall it was a Mid experience

    • kakam N. ★★★★ Chicken Republic in Barnawa, Kaduna is true to form, a world-class modern African brand. Chicken Republic began operations in 2004 & has already gained the reputation as one of the fastest growing chicken brands in West Africa. Established in 2004, Chicken Republic is Nigeria's largest, most visible & most popular quick-service restaurant chain. Specializing in "soulfully spiced" chicken & Headquartered in Lagos, it operates over 190 locations across Nigeria and Ghana. Regarding ownership, it is a subsidiary of Food Concepts Plc, which also manages other food brands in West Africa. I discovered the Barnawa branch accidentally when I was looking for place to eat a light meal. Such is the reputation that I didn't hesitate to enter the outlet immediately, & I didn't leave disappointed. The  Chicken Republic in Barnawa, Kaduna, is located on Zaire Road. The franchise is inviting to committed customers to enjoy the unquantifiable pleasures of it's signature sizzling hot crunchy chicken & sides it offers. As expected it was flavoured to perfection with it's usual unique blend of authentic spices. Furthermore, the brand is known for the affordability of it's meals. Prices vary by location & I know that this Kaduna branch is way cheaper than if it was in Abuja or Lagos. Later when rubbing minds with friends, I realised that it is known for its delicious well spiced chicken & affordable meals. The branch operates daily; Monday – Sunday from  7:00 AM – 10:00 PM & offers a variety of West African-inspired fast food. Typical prices range from ₦2,000 to ₦4,000 for individual meals depending on what is ordered. The budget-friendly options start around ₦2,300,00 which consists of jollof rice or fried rice or spaghetti with a piece of chicken. Well spiced fried chicken, rotisserie chicken & crunchy chicken are also available. Shawarma (about ₦4,000:00), chief burger (₦4,800:00), & sides like pastries, meat pies, chicken pies, moin-moin, coleslaw, & fried plantain are equally available. The striking thing about the Barnawa branch is that it is very clean & cozy. Cleaning staff constantly clean the place including the convenience, which has running water & necessary amenities. The uniformed staff who are mostly young individuals are calm, well mannered & courteous when attending to customers. According to a Chicken Republic online post; 'behind every delicious, soulfully spiced chicken meal & at the forefront of every great customer experience stands a passionate & committed person'. Yes, I totally agree ! The facility is small, but with good ambiance. Clean bright walls with beautiful posters hanging... Limited parking spaces are available, but they suffice as it's not so much a busy business. Also, the security staff ensure good parking in other to maximally utilise the limited spaces. The atmosphere here is generally casual & quiet, suitable for solo dining, groups, as well as family outings. Apart from dining-in, takeout & online orders/delivery are also available. Was meant to understand that delivery orders can be placed via the official ordering portal or third-party apps like Glovo and Chowdeck. The restroom is wheelchair-accessible, though the entrance isn't. The place is good for children as it offers high chairs & a dedicated kids' menu. The Chicken Republic Barnawa branch, is definitely true to type in upholding & maintaining the vaunted reputation & traditions of the franchise. Keep it up, please

    • SHAFQUAT H. ★★★★ Their food is good but they are not careful with cooking. I went there 4 times but last time the corn cob had an insect hole in it and I was about to bit it - not sure if the insect was still in :). I eventually ate the rice (was super hungry) but had to get the mix grill packed and leave.

    • Peter O. ★★★★★ I visited The Grill House Restaurant few weeks ago and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of comfort and elegance. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were attentive throughout without being intrusive. The food was the real highlight. I orderedfor pounded yam and vegetable soup, and it was simply outstanding—fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The fish and meat complemented the meal perfectly, leaving a lasting impression. The portion sizes were just right, offering both satisfaction and quality. I’d gladly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food, excellent service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back! Again & Again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    • Tiki W. ★★★★★ I got a shawarma and I can tell you that it was so sumptuous, I enjoyed every bite.
    • Folakemi A. ★★★★★ Your shawarma is quite good I'm a regular customer. But your outlet at golf course close to kasu, need proper ventilation and sanitation. The place is always hot and stuffy, the person making the shawarma will be sweating like crazy while slicing the vegetables, as customer you cannot even sit inside as the whole place is always so hot and stuffy. Ps only 1 person taking orders and preparing it, the workload is too much making service slow and un hygenic. There was literally a mop with dirty cleaning water in the waiting area unattended. Please do something about it ASAP so sanitation officers won't have to look into this instead.

There's toasted chicken, meat, cigarettes, food, drinks, alcohol, loud music, football and other commodities that people, mostly men, would patronize. It gets dark in the night. So it's like a club scene. The street has three hotels that you can actually sleep in and not hate yourself. It's a fun time. Nothing went wrong.
