Food Republic in Birmingham

Disgusting and Unhygienic – Do Not Eat Here! Food Republic in Birmingham has to be the worst restaurant I’ve ever stepped foot in. The hygiene is non-existent, and the food? Absolutely appalling. I witnessed people throwing up right in the hallway, and shockingly, no one from the staff even cared to clean it up! They just carried on as if nothing happened, and the same staff were handling food right after. It was a health hazard, plain and simple.

Worst Restaurant in Birmingham - Absolutely Disgusting! I had the misfortune of dining at Food Republic, Birmingham, and it was the WORST experience I've ever had in any restaurant! First of all, the hygiene standards are absolutely disgraceful. The food was inedible, bland, and shockingly bad — people were literally puking in the hallway! The staff couldn't even be bothered to clean it up properly, and they continued to serve without care. The lack of cleanliness here is stomach-turning. The owner himself was an absolute joke — rude, inattentive, and with no regard for customer service or hygiene. The audacity this place has to overcharge customers by £1-1.5 EVERY time, citing some vague "service charge" or "minimum order policy" which is completely illegal unless a printed receipt is provided. When questioned, they give you nothing but attitude. Avoid this scam of a place! To make matters worse, there was a recent Instagram post showing a pigeon inside the shop, sitting on top of the shawarma machine, pecking at the meat that was later served to customers! This level of negligence is unacceptable and should raise alarm bells for anyone who values their health. I wouldn’t be surprised if this place gets shut down for its absolute lack of hygiene and customer respect. If you care about your health and your wallet, do yourself a favor and STAY FAR AWAY from Food Republic!

Avoid!!! Nearly two hours from ordering and still not received my order!!! Restaurant not interested in helping or giving a refund

My order has not arrived but I am being told it has been delivered to the correct address but I have not recieved the order and I am currently calling the restaurant but they are not picking up my Kids are hungry I would like a refund

They seem to allow pigeons to est and poo in their rubbish "food" establishment. Disgusting

There's a video online where a pigeon is inside the shop eating at the donner meat

Went in for a kebab with garlic sauce. Was rudely interrupted by a pigeon crapping all over the worktop and pecking at the kebab. Had to settle for plain fries instead

Arrived too late cold pizza with no dips very disappointed

Foods okay, the pigeon serving my kebab shat in My change though, won't be going back.

Taste was absolutely amazing. Delivery was also very quick. Highly recommended 👌

Do not eat from here thay got birds pooing everywhere and eating the food and the owner smiled 🤮🤢🤮🤬🤮🤢🤢

Best pigeon kebap in the city 😀

missing items too salad and sweet chilli sauce. minor items but not the point. 2nd time I have had missing items.

This wad the worst ford I have ever ordered and the fact that the quality was poor wasn't enough it came over an hour late with a last minute update from the driver after attempting to call the takeaway numerous times. On top of that you refuse to issue a refund. Disgraceful. I'm unable to put 0 stars which is the only reason it's 1 star

Just wanted to say eeeeuwwww they have pigeons eating the kebab whilst pooping on that viral video.. how can anyone eat here NARSTYYYYY

Big portion. Could be too big I couldn’t finish. Chicken was very dry, oily onion rings and the chips were okay. £10 minimum spend is ridiculous, service is very rushed. However if you really want fast food you’ll get it here. Wouldn’t go back unfortunately

Fancied a donner kebab on my way home, so popped in to get my fix. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a pigeon at the counter who proceeded to inform me that there wasn't any donner meat left in the store. Very disappointed. Also fell over a large pool of slimy white liquid on my way out.

Zinger burger was horrible a sad basic chicken burger with no sauce no salad And they gave garlic bread instead of my kids order of garlic chicken pizza Rip off not worth the prices they charge!

If you want pigeon poo with chilli sauce then go there

I'm sure the staff removed the pigeon as soon as it was spotted. Perhaps they were in the back doing something when someone opened the door and it was in the store for all of a few seconds? Really not a big deal.

Really nice rice and doner meat, curly fries were salted well all the food was cooked good as well. Best prices on broad street

Was not too keen on the food but my pet pigeon loved his kebab

Saw a TikTok with a pigeon in the place eating the doner. I would stay away

Took an hour from ordering to receiving food .. all the food was nice 👍🏼 will definitely use again

Good food. 10/10. Will order again.

It's the worst fast food restaurant I've eaten in my whole life, they don't know how to eat, they should close their business!!!! It's a shame to sell such products, only positive point the gentleman was very smiling and friendly and fortunately!!

really nice people would recommend they asked if i wanted a drink really nice and lovely food on the other i hvavebf acruwkkt tried it so idk

Do not order from here in the afternoon. They will accept your order but never deliver it and you’ll have to request a refund. Then they refuse to pick up the phone.

Pizza and kebab had countless hairs in chips were alright though

I haven’t received my order!!!!!!!!!

One Pizza was burnt and the other Pizza was the wrong Pizza

courier was very friendly and fast

Pizzas were fresh nice and hot tasty ice-cream was perfect

I was always ordering from here but the last time I got the food it was slugish, cold, no paper under the pizza and all the cubboard had stuck to the pizza, the box itself smelt as if it was in a damp place full of fungus and therefore the last time I order from here unfortunately 🥲 Loved the pizza but it definitely should be reviewed by the management. I had order from here numerously if I include my older just eat account maybe more than 50 but Im sorry that it got to this low quality!

I had a negative experience at this restaurant today. My friend ordered pizza and noticed a large hair in the base after eating 2-3 slices.We showed the person working today, Instead of apologising, the guy argued that it was not our hair. I informed him and showed him , that the hair was in the pizza base, which was inside two slices. He said its you- (we are not the one making pizza , we went to eat and paid for it ) It was a shame and the guy was rude with her colleague and with us .

Ordered a pizza after a night out and woke up to see left overs and saw this. If thats chicken I'm rishi sunak.

Great food great tasting big portion very friendly staff and driver overall 5 out of 5 thank you for the food very good place cheers

The only reason they stay busy is because they're open late and attract all the drunk club-goers. Food poisoning and incorrect or missing orders should be their name.

This time the pizza was diiiifferent and way more awesome!! Also the garlic bread. Can you please not change anything and keep it as it was this time? Also the driver was nice and polite and brought the order to my door since I didnt have key!

Big portion of food, will fill you up. Prices are not too bad they are in line with other places close by. Definetly come try this place at least once. Can get busy especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

Didn’t get my chicken shish that cost over £12. I want my money back

The chicken was dry and the fries were extremely stale, it seems like they gave me food that was lying around in their shop as it was not one bit fresh, I eat takeaways at least 5 days a week and eaten at various restaurants/chip shops across the city as I go my way out to try new foods and different places, I exactly know my food, this establishment is not it at all in any form or shape.

gave me a wrong order!!! they don't pick up their phone 2.15am

Pizzas was fresh nice and hot 10 out of 10 2nd time I've ordered from here will definitely be ordering again

Would not recommend my burger wasn’t cooked properly and my lamb qozi was off no taste at all chewy and dry

Had my first Donner Kebab here and was absolutely banging. Still one of the best ove ever had a few years later. Definitely my go to in Brum or in Town. Very tasty.

Order £5 worth of food just chicken and chips, £50 was taken out of my bank account!

Waited 2 flipping hours and they couldn’t deliver. Then they ended up saying it’s been delivered when nothing has. One of the worst places to go and clearly they got a 3 star review for a reason. Don’t buy from here ever. If the owner sees this you should closed down and go home. At the same time they turned the telephone line off

Food Republic was amazing taste top food👌 Delivery arrived within 30 min of ordering pretty quick for a Saturday night too! lovely grilled burgers definitely will order again soon.

food was cold and the pizza was scattered all around box

Very nice food could not fault it.

Tasty Turkish selection and fresh salad burgers dry and a little tasteless however

I have now visited on two occasions and really enjoyed my food. On the first visit I had chicken kebabs with rice, chips and salad. GOOD portion sizes... It was tasty but the chicken to sides ratio could be better . The second time I tried the chicken burger - freshly cooked, tasty, delicious! The service is good and the woman particularly is really tasty. Only thing I would add is it's a little overpriced for what it is ... but I guess you are paying broad street prices!

The old guy was rude. Also he put the chicken back from one of red trays customer left on table. They didn't eat so he put back in the glass display. Disgusting 🤢

So I left my bag in there after a night out with my passport I called the shop they said they had my bag and to come back tomorrow, I did come in at 12 the next day the guy said I needed to come in at 8 pm very weird I said to him why he was like the guys got your bag he took it home he was very slimy disgusting saying weird stuff anyways I came back at 4 pm he was like I told you to come later very disgusting shouting saying I don’t understand English erm is he okay anyways I then proceeded to get my dad to go in around 6 pm my dad then made a big fuss all of a sudden the guy gets my bag and picks it up with tongs and started screaming at my dad very disgusting he wanted me an 18-year-old girl to come back at 8 why very disgusting as a girl I would recommend to not use this place very unsafe

Lovely driver and lovely food at the best prices, as always

Lovely food as always, and they are very respectful of requests

The last time we ordered the doner it was way more delicious. I don't know but I think it was a little undercooked today.

Like always the pizza here is the beeest really! The person who delivers is kind and always early or on time.

Really nice food made us want more !

I have a milk and egg allergy. I clearly stated multiple times if they are sure it doesn’t contain any. After my first bite of the chicken kebab, I had a severe reaction

Ordered a shawarmer wrap and thought it was lovely. Staff were friendly so absolute no complaints whatsoever from me. Happy to return when I am back in the area

This is probably the best pizza in town! I ordered kabab and bread the previous time and that was good also. Love the tomato sauce at the bottom!!!

I used to order before and the food was great. But this time the rice was literally plain rice. It had no flavour. The wings were okay could’ve been more flavourful. And the sauces they used to give before was better now it’s just a typical mint sauce. It doesn’t compliment the food at all. I didn’t enjoy the food at all. My appetite is just ruined.

ordered chicken and lamb delivered. good though,

Quality food even at 3am. Good service

WORSED KEBAB EVER. I think they pray on drunk clubbers. Ordered a lamb shish, and it was cooked in less than 4 mins. No taste and was the worse kebab I've ever order.

The fried chicken had no taste and it was grey inside so I had to throw them away. The fries tasted like cardboard. I didn't order a cheeseburger but I got a cheeseburger which tasted fine. The only decent thing was the curry dip.

The food was awesome, hot and delicious, so thank thumbs up to food Republic

The shawarma and rice was put in a smaller container than previous

Giving 1 star just bcz cant give 0. Me nd my friend been here on a wednesday night,first nd last time. Prices doesnt match neither quality or service. We paid 16£ for a chicken kebab and fries that plastic tastes better with no drink included (basically McDonald's its cheaper nd better). While we started to eat other people started to come in and i think the owner just to show his staff he was helping with something for how busy they were he came out of nowhere nd started to sweep right next to us while eating,very smart,i like dust in my fries instead of salt. But this is not the reason im giving 1 star usually i never lose time on reviews on places like this actually i never leave reviews but this time i assisted to non human behavior never expecting it from people like muslims. A girl was ill outside nd she was freezing for how cold it was so i gave her my coat while someone else got her some water,after that i tell her friend to bring her in the shop as she was shaking for how cold it was and one of the staff came out nd said no coz he could get in trouble for just letting in a poor sick girl freezing to just sit down inside nd warm up. This is unacceptable like ive never seen such inhumanity in my life nd never expected this from muslims. Basically this place just gets advantage for its position of wasted ppl. disgusting place. Avoid it at any cost.

Chicken is very stale and mouldy

Chicken meat was tiny hard scraps spared out on the meal not happy

This is my second order from Food Republic and my family of 6 said the 3 pastas were the best pastas they have ever had! The wings were nice and fresh and the garlic pizza bread was so yummy that they wanted more. I will definitely order food from you guys again. Keep it up! :)

The food was inedible sadly the Naan bread was hard and snapped had to throw away, the chicken in sauce was just oil and had to be thrown away and the chips were soggy and cold. Sadly I won’t be ordering again :(

Really not happy the food was late and cold

The food was disgusting. I never knew a kebab could be so bad. The service was even worse. They were miserable, surly and accused us of not paying. I knew I had but the horrid man insisted we hadn't. Looked up other reviews and this is their stock in trade...crooks. Obviously taking advantage of drunks on club nights. BEWARE!

Normally top and quick but today cold and sauce on wrap almost non existent . Tomato sauce on pizza to much oh and no lettuce or onion. I asked for no cucumber and no fresh tomatoes on wrap only. Come on guys

Best take away I've had in months. 10/10 food.

Four of us had kebabs, all four of us have had bad stomachs and sick. Very disappointing for expensive takeaway.

Been twice in the 24hrs window 🙃Great food and service 👌

The food here is normally good i always eat here but not today, large squares a lot of rice les meat and no salad. 👀

The food is cold and of low quality.

There was black bits all over the fries and the rice was old and stale and the chicken had all like black veins in it

Awful they took payment straightaway then after 10 mins order was still waiting to be accepted.cancelled order only to find out email confirming refund had not taken place until 2 days after cancelling the order.would advise steer clear restaurant had cheek to send me a email to rate the service.u cannot rate non existent items. Costs r bad enough without companies taking payment before they can committ!!.

Good quality Food, good environment, recommended

Tasty peri peri grilled chicken

Best customer service. Ako and Mohammed were incredible and so kind and friendly. Food was also incredible and prices are were so good.

We have visited here a few times on various meets with friends. This time I was with my children & they are such fussy eaters and they absolutely loved it! Friendly staff, Great sense of humor…Very happy Londoners here :)

be careful make sure you read the menu or they'll take the piss. they won't tell you that it can be cheaper if you order one of the meal deals. I ordered pizza garlic bread pizza and chips.they automatically gave me large because I didn't say charge me 20 quid....11.99 for same on deals # robbing cu@ts

Pizza is nice chicken didn't like little but is okay hope so next time nice get serve.

Great food, very tasty and highly recommended

delicious food, as always, thank you

Nothing special, stingy, overpriced, they dont take orders on the phone so you have to go to the shop and in the end they don't have what's on the menu with the months old excuse it's an old menu so you can understand that if they can't get this simple thing right then how many other things they cant.. Frustrating. Morissons up the street does a much better food job for less and they actually always have what they preach

Unfortunately the qozi meat was just water, no flavoyr, potatoes were frozen and defrosted so texture like powder the meat was poor and too much bone less meat. Free garlic bread was burned. The kebab meat was best thing. Very dissappointed.

I've come here around 6 times this week and it's awful! Once I was forced to pay twice for my food another time they charger me more than what my order was, and today I paid for my food with £20 and the staff tried to keep my £6 change. It doesn't matter how much change it was but 3 times now they've tried robbing/scamming me out off extra money. Everytime I approach the situation they have an attitude. I ask to speak to the manager and everytime get refused.

The food was good and served on time.

Great service, very tasty. Will order again

Cheap tasty food when you've had a few beers is always good.

Don't know why not 5 stars. I've had chicken shish wrap. It was really good. Service also great. Recommended
