Popular food critic Opeyemi Famakin has weighed in on Davido’s shared list of favorite Lagos restaurants — and one name left him especially puzzled: Chicken Republic
Reacting to the singer’s picks, which included Cali’s, Zaza, Boho, The Angels, Sora, Nook, and Chicken Republic, Famakin expressed a mix of surprise and reluctant agreement.
“Chicken Republic? I mean, don’t get me wrong,” he said. “I enjoy their rice and beans with that pepper sauce — is it before pack? That combo is arguably unbeaten among fast food dishes in Nigeria. But how did Chicken Republic enter Davido’s head? I’d like to know exactly what he orders there.”
Famakin, known for his no-nonsense food reviews, admitted that while Chicken Republic isn’t typically seen as a top-tier restaurant, it still delivers in certain areas. He shared his own evolving opinions on fast food, noting, “Technically, if you ask me to name the best fast food restaurant in Nigeria, I don’t have one. It used to be The Place… then Mega Chicken. But everyone falls off eventually.”
Despite his initial skepticism, the food critic eventually conceded, “Actually, if I’m speaking honestly — it’s Chicken Republic. Davido is not wrong.”
