Roosters Fried n Grill in Reading

The food was delicious. I had chicken lemon, lamb wrap and fries. It was very good and fresh. The service was also very good. Best piri piri in Reading

Best food in Reading and excellent service

Gave them a try again and wings smells and tastes like damp cloth. Won't be going again - but the staff are very friendly, shame the food isn't.

I ordered 10 buffalo wings to take out and the smell was horrendous. The whole food smelled like wet cloth and tastes weird as well. Had to throw away all the food. I drove all the way back from Bracknell to order the food as they used to be really good year ago. The quality of food has gone down real bad. Not going to order again from roosters again.

I wouldn't go there again, old chips were fried several times, chicken wasn't grilled enough, hardly any flavour .

Great staff, food cam be hit and miss at times but generally nice.

One of most expensive grill chicken so far! They are more expensive than Nando’s! Staff behaviour is awful and don’t care if you want to place order or not. Definitely not going back in the future. Very terrible and dreadful place.

My first and last visit ever. Luckily I ordered 1/4 chicken and not half otherwise I'd go mad. Brought the 1/4 chicken meal which came with fries and a drink. Flavour was lemon & herb and medium (I always go half n half). When my order was ready, the chicken was looking waaay to yellow for my liking. The marinade was not even thick or saucy, it was proper runny and bright yellow. Too much turmeric! The chicken was tasteless and lacked flavour both on the outside and inside. Fries are just standard, no flavour to them. Drink was an original so no complaints here. Was sat by the door as the shop was busy, I froze my nuts off because the door wouldn't close properly. Won't ever go there again! I won't comment on the rest of the menu as I've not tried it so it's only fair to criticise what I ate.

excellent good. Staff is fantastic. I shall recommend it highly to all.

i went here today and lemme tell you i was not let down the i got a simple chicken breast burger with chips and a marinda strawberry the burger was fantastic it was juicy tender and had plenty of sauce the garlic was quite good, but the chips were ok they were very dry and not crispy but other then that fantastic i will be coming here again!

Yoday I saw how he put his hands into my food vegetables. It is just hideous .disgusting.. and I waited 17 minutes ... I will never buy anything in this store again. I do not wish to eat anything applied with hands without gloves. This disgustingI came home and threw the food in the garbage. only 10f. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Best food ever, value for money and Great service by Hamza and ali

We came to this place and have been suprised of taste of food :) 5 stars guys. Guys were run out of water, so they went to shop to buy a watwe to keep us happy

I don't know how but their chicken wings beat any other that I have ever had in my life. Firstly, they are massive wings, very filling and thick. The many different flavours you can choose from are all absolutely mouth watering. I have ordered it about 5 times in the last month. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing food. Excellent customer service. Been soo many times and never disappointed 😊

Best peri peri chicken in Berkshire Would recommend The chicken ofcouse Haloumi with that chilli jam🤤 Sweet potato fries Lamb burger Spicy rice

Ordered grilled chicken for home delivery. It arrived hot and fresh. Chicken was cooked exactly how I wanted it. Delicious and tasty. Best grilled chicken in Reading. Highly recommend.

Very good service and food quality is the best

These are hands down some of the best wings I've had in a while 👐 And actually the burgers have just sent it to the next level. Thankyou for keeping a local business well fed!!

Great food and a variety of choices. Staff is excellent and great at their job.

By Farr the best piri piri chicken in reading. Great seating area and quick service

Nice food, I usually get the peri chicken burger meal and it has never disappointed me. Staff are nice and place is clean.

Hands down best peri peri in Reading, Has had new managers take over, and its made it even BETTER! Always clean, Perfect menu, best food ever, will highly recommend anyone who fancies a peri peri !!

Great experience, New Owner has turned place around, food was great, good sized portions and very importantly hygiene was great and staff was polite

10/10 food and speedy considering it’s all cooked fresh.

Trust me when I say these guys can cook, they really take it to next level. My chicken was done by Ali bhai and it was done to perfection. I go here at least once a week. I must mention new guy ( I guess owner) sorry don't know the name but really nice person and greets you with smile. I can never choose another shop for quality piripiri chicken. 10/10👍

Place has had a make over chicken and burgers are delicious and fresh and their also one of the cheapest when compared to others in the area.

10000/1000 It was pretty d**n fantastic

This is hands down the best peri peri I’ve ever tasted in my life. I found the establishment very clean and the staff provided the best customer service I’ve ever experienced

Always been the best peri peri in the area and the recent change in management has made it that much better. Great customer service and they are always serving up fresh and juicy peri peri chicken 😋

Has had a complete transformation, now even better than ever. Great customer service and the owner was very generous with extra sauces unlike the previous owner. We were so impressed by the service and the food presentation and the food was delicious and can't wait to go again. Great work guys keep up the great work.

It may not look like much but the chicken is great. Got to be this Roosters though on London Road. The others aren't the same.

Horrible service. You’ll buy 5 meals they’ll give you 1 dip. You’ll ask for more, and they’ll look at you like you’ve committed crime.

I have been coming to this place for many years, over 10 although not recently. Have used other places recently but decided to come back as in town.. When I arrived I was told there is no longer meal deals. Everything is separate. So my 2 piece chicken meal was £8.50 then I was told if I wanted a drink of water that would be a further 1.79!! They don't even display a clear menu any more above the till. At that cost you may aswel go to a restaurant!!! Unreal!!! I should of gone around the corner to fenendez peri peri ( a 30 second walk) which I usually go too. Under a Tenna and you still get a decent amount of change back. To top it off they didn't even have garlic sauce!!!! Fuming. Severed on a dirty plate.

Wonderful service. Very friendly .

Hussain Syed does great food here, particularly the chicken. One of my favourites!

Should you fancy an authentic Roosters piri piri then this is a great takeaway. Excellent quality, flavour, portion size. It is great value for money.

Hi all, Stop doing take away from this place. Possibly had the worst ever burger with expired/burnt lettuce only and no other toppings which was requested on the order. In additional to that the beef patty was as dry as sahara dessert and was done so well that it was more chewy than rubber. Best part of the burger was mayonnaise but it was not enough. Then moving into second part of the order was burnt chicken wings. I could taste the burnt part more than the chicken itself. So guys save your money. Don't buy anything from this place and let's help their business flourish to the end of tunnel. P.S. I never post review on google and this is my first time ever. It was the food that made me Vegan now.

Hussain gave me great service and the food was amazing

Can’t follow simple instructions, go here if you want half cooked food and half a meal

I order Peri Peri chicken all what I get chicken dipped in Chili sauce Tasted like an old chicken Jesus was terrible was the most disgusting chicken I have ever eat

The Food is fresh. Chicken is yummy and tasty. The gentleman Sayed Itrat was very warm and welcoming. Great service.

Very good service by Hassan. Food was great.

Very good food, great customer service. Food is always fresh. Highly recommended. Great staff especially Sayed itrat hussain who mostly serves me.

Sayed made great food along with great customer service. He makes everything fresh and pipping hot. Highly recommend this place. Their tikka burger is THE BEST

As the stars suggest was alright 👍

Hussain was very good. It was packed when I went there, with deliveroo orders and that annoying Just Eat order thing going off. My big thing I was impressed with was my chicken was "well done". I have been to other peri peri restaurants where there was blood in the chicken.

I think the man served me should be the boss man itself and was very rude to start with (may be not been trained on customer service) also found out the chicken was not cooked and had blood in it when I was eating it.. I used love to come this place but will probably avoid agai after this experience.

We have been coming here for years always exceptional service. Hussain always goes above and beyond to make sure my food is 10/10.

Bad service and rude attitude from the staff

The staff lack brain cells and are very rude, no class and the food is sub par

Amazing food recommend gourmet burger amazing 5 star

Sometimes amazing, sometimes not so great. Occasionally forget items

Again the inconsistency in food always surprises me , why can’t they give you the exact same quality as before

The Sauces are more valuable than the Chicken, you ask for some extra sauce they want to charge for it, 50p to 70p for a tub of tiny sauce, for spending over £10 or £20, they aren't prepared to give a tub or two of sauce worth 2p... Its terrible customer service, and just greedy. Your Chicken is dry most of the time, and your never organized when its busy, 30 minute waiting times is not fast food....Its just not good enough... Chips change every week from thin to thick.. Where is the consistency? Work on it... Especially the sauce. If i spend £30, i expect more than 2 tubs of sauce for a meal for 8 people. If i buy 2 meals, i expect 2 tubs per meal.. Its an insult to charge over a pound for 2 tubs of tiny sauce.. I wont be coming back for a while...Your colleagues refused to give me 2 tubs of sauce, until i left the store and they started shouting at me and telling me to come back, in front of customers, for an expensive order. I will be complaining about this further with head office as i mention to the man at the premises. You need to change this policy else you will lose customers, over cheap sauce.

Way too overpriced, i ordered a couple chicken tikka burger meals and 10 wing can't remember the price, the chicken tikka burger was good amazing, the wings were okay and the rude employee barely filled up the bag of chips when I asked him to actually fill up the bag he got hurt and tried filling my chips up in a smaller bag. Overall if you want good peri wings go to pizza house way etter wings and if you want a good burger go to peri chicken hut.

They have made this Roosters better now menu is better and chicken tastes better than before but i think the old garlic sauce from 2015 was better.

First time ordered from Rooster on the London road. I must say the service and food was top quality. I placed the order on Deliveroo and soon after called the resturant to ask for some changes to sauces selection on my chicken platter. Ali who is the branch manager took my call and ensured that I get I requested and the food arrived a lot earlier than expected. Tip: go for peri peri fries and add extra portion of wings you wil not regret.

They have always nice and tasty food . Also their staff is amazing

Very good service by Sayed itrat at the store, the hospitality is also very good, the food was delicious Keep it up, i would suggest to visit this place oftenly and try some grills from sayed itrat

Delicious food good customers service fully recommended

This place does not even deserve a 1star, its so bad... The food hygiene is really really bad, i found food squashed all over the floor. The food cook area was very dirty , the cook was dirty, its not worthy of a franchise status, this should be closed down. I brought my food home and it went straight into the bin,what a waste of money and a terrible experience. I went here thinking its quiet ie not busy as my local was heaving with big a que,,,, what a mistake !!!!!! Don't go here and waste your money.

The food is delicious here. The staff is very welcoming especially Itrat, he always welcomes with a smile and the service meets our expectations. Good job guyz👏

Very good service. Nice and friendly. Please ask for Hussain Bhai

Sayed cooked the food nice and very good customer service ‼️

I am a regular eater here at rooster, more then likely the food is great and so is the service however today I was utterly disappointed to a state that I shall never return to this disgraceful place. Closing early and causing errors within Deliveroo was a somewhat problem, however it was the communication and horrible telephone manners that made me feel insignificant and useless. I was told my order ‘didn’t matter’ and followed with a sharp hang up on the phone. Deliveroo attempted to make contact with roosters and failed, but were friendly in returning my refund. It’s just so disappointing to see wasted talent, specially a local business with great potential...maybe learn manners? They go far. I will be telling all my friends And family to boycott this place ...Still hungry

Good customer service nice stuff

Best takeaway shop at Cemetery Junction. Delicious food and great service. Very friendly staff with good customer service. Mr Ali and Mr Sayed Itrat Hussain are the super stars! ⭐

Great Food as always, well cooked, amazing hygiene and quick order! As usual Sayed Itrat Abbas provided great customer service. He has always made my order quick and efficient the meat is always cooked to perfection. I recommend this restaurant to all simply on the great customer service and the quality in which the food was cooked. Definitely 5 stars and always looking after their customers which makes it routine weekend treat for myself and family. Thank you Syed Abbas and friends! 🙏🏽

Hi there....since I have moved to UK from mocambique.. Chicken puri puri country😌😌 I been curious about ur food... Yesterday I got a take away of chicken wings and prawns.. And it was Excellent... Best take away since I been in UK now... I have recommended you on FB Thank you

Great service! I ordered some food via Uber Eats and after delivery I realised a bottle of diet coke was missing. I called Roosters and asked them if it could be replaced (let's be honest, many places would have told you to contact the delivery platform) and they offered to give me a free bottle with extra chips and sauces on top! Food is delicious too.

Exceptional chips. Excellent service

Ordered food over the phone. Told them to put sauce in the food and he said he will. Got home and no sauces at all. Rang them and they said they don't have any sauces left. 🙄. Chips were really oily. Chicken didn't even taste nice. Nor did the burger. Waste of time and money.

My order had missing items and didn't read notes left for delivery. On calling the restaurant the staff were rude and ignorant. They then left the phone off the hook so I couldn't speak to anyone. I would stay clear of such a poorly run establishment and go for Nandoes. At least they have customer service skills and food is of better quality.

Sometimes I go there to get Chicken wings but they aren't wings, they sell niblets and the size is too tiny. Other Roosters sell proper wings which these guys need to learn.

cooked live, but waits are longer and sometimes misses that peri peri

I have been here several times with my children and have always enjoyed the food, visiting here today we were greeted by possibly the most misserable young girl serving, she did not smile or great us, she took our order looking as though she hated being there, she served our food without saying anything and did not even bring cutlery, my point is if you don't like serving people do something else.

Good food. In par with Nando's.

Amazing you won't get poor satisfaction because it is always a good size and you won't get a bad meal they always make it the same

Great Food, well cooked and amazing hygiene. The customer service was outstanding by a gentleman named Itrat. He made my food very quickly and cooked the meat to perfection. I recommend people to come eat at this Roosters, simply on the great customer service and the quality in which the food was cooked. Definitely 5 stars and always looking after their customers which makes it routine weekend treat for myself and family.

Very polite and friendly staffs. I am well happy with the service they offer.

Best food I ever had nice service and good staff

Lovely food best customer service

Nice food good customer service

Worst service i ever seen here' very rude staff ' will speak to reading borough council about the rude behaviou of one staff every time" name Ali". not going there again.asked for extra sauce and told him i pay u for extra sauce and staff rudly said no' he said dont buy if u sont want.

Delicious food ,staff very friendly

The food is good, but they take forever to get it done. Would of gave them 5 star if they made it quicker.

Chips r better than McDonalds, burger king and 5 guys

If you are after piri piri chicken forget nandos roosters piri piri is spot on, they do various levels of spice from garlic to very hot and pretty much do all the favourites from wraps, fillet burgers to buckets of chicken, whole chickens and halfs. Please be aware it can get quite busy and as the unit is very small there is not much room for eating in so take away is the best option

Very tasty chicken burgers and wings. I'd recommend them any day

I've come out stinking of smoke

Excellent service thanks. Top end chicken shop

Most of the time what we want they don't have

very nice and tasty food but service is bit slow

Ok. Service was average. The branch in the town centre is much better

One of the worst places to get your food from. Rude staff and don't make the mistake to talk to the bearded guys in there, they will suddenly start telling you off. We ordered orange juice to take away and they served it warm and rude staff said "soooooorry, no ice". Secondly, do not try to attempt to eat in, as they will force the door open in freezing cold weather and will give the usual excuse "soooorry the canopy is nat working". To be honest these people really don't care.... Avoid..

Very tasty food and excellent customer service. I love this place. I am giving them five stars.

I was waiting over one minute ready to put my order but the guy was doing something very important on his phone So i left

Has had a complete transformation, now even better than ever. New layout and menu are wonderful, and we were so impressed by the service. Food was wholesome, delicious and can't wait to go again!

The shop itself is quite small but there is seating available, Reading College is vary close so you have to consider that lunch times during term time are going to be vary busy, which that are. The food you get is vary good quality, but can take a bit of time for the staff to cook your food not matter how many people are in the shop. It doesn't help that the tea I have been there that there have been only 1 or 2 members of staff working.
