Cookedbyb - (Near , london)

5 /5 Izzy O’Dowd: Went last night (Friday) around 7pm, there was hardly a queue and food was available. The man serving kept us informed about wait time as they were refilling some of the dishes and the food was delicious! Reviews on here had me worried but based on last night, I’d purchase again if I’m in the area. If travelling from could mean then being sold out whilst I’m en route wasn’t a risk I’d make the journey. My only suggestion would be for a little salad to be in the meal or even coleslaw, but not a big deal.

1 /5 Kev Street: Jollof rice is days old and microwaved for you. Chicken wings? More like tasteless chicken bones! Absolute rip off. Don’t waste your time. There are several restaurants within the area that serve better food. Try Mary’s takeaway if you want fresh jollof rice and a sizeable jerk chicken for much less the price.

2 /5 Kyle Ravi: Overhyped. The food took over two hours to come and it came cold. The jollof was pretty good. Lamb chops were good. All the meat had a sticky sweet bbq rub on it which was a bit too much, needed some variation. The prawns were flavourless. The mac and cheese was okay. The plantain was okay. Overall the taste was underwhelming but worth a try, perhaps we got a bad experience. We did have stomach issues the next day… For the price it was way too expensive for what it is. I’d just buy a box of jollof with lamb chops if I had to order again, that was probably the only real good thing about it.

3 /5 Jan Fordjour: Been here twice, they changed their ingredients so the jollof rice was much tastier. I qued for 45mins only to be told they had run out of everything except rice and plantain. If your in the area on Tuesday, Thursday and saturday its worth a try however the food is not life changing. If you come at 5.20 like I did you may be at risk of not eating.

4 /5 P Romane (Mane): This is my second time coming and ACTUALLY getting the food. My first encounter; I came to the shop about 630 and they were locking the shutters to my dismay. So first point to make; they SELL OUT and they sell out FAST. On this visit, I was first in line and had been outside the shop from about 420, doors open 5. A queue started to form about 445. During my wait B and some staff were in and out of the shop, clearly passing but no pleasantries exchanged. Hmmm.. Doors did open on time. The staff were somewhat attentive, trying to multitask serving me and having their own conversation. Hmm - however I was in and out within 10mins *thumbs up* I did want to try the punch but it wasn’t available on the day so I settled for a drink from the fridge. Food was nice, it’s not an every week type meal for me, but when I’m feeling for some razzle dazzle, CookedByB would defo be an option. I actually can’t knock it. I get the fuss, I get the queue. With this type of hype though I would expect for more food to be readily available but there must be a reason behind the madness *shrugs* Queuing does not guarantee you some food because I’m telling you, people are buying like 5/6 boxes one time; just look at the portion size, of course they will run out lol. Happy queuing and Good Luck! Lool
