Chicken Royale, which aims to rank among Ibadan’s most popular restaurants, has officially opened its doors to serve both local and continental cuisine.
At a press briefing on Wednesday, the Executive Director of Food Partners, Mr. Animasaun Luiz, disclosed that the restaurant is first of its kind in Ibadan.
He said the newly flagged off restaurant at Mobil, Ring Road in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital is one of the company’s 7 eateries, adding that the company will also introduce other distinctive initiatives around the state to address customers’ needs in different ways.
He emphasized that their services would be delivered in a unique manner as the restaurant will provide both local and continental cuisines.
He said that “Chicken Royale is a very distinctive brand since we are not entering this market to compete with others, but rather to carve out a place for ourselves by offering high-quality cuisine, first-rate customer service, and prices that are quite affordable.
“We are coming with both local and continental foods at very affordable prices, especially to create jobs for more youths and to affect the state to be a better place for the best foods anyone can get anywhere in the world.”
However, when asked if their prices would be reasonable given the level of the restaurant’s standards, the director emphasized that their prices are what set them apart, reiterating that no other restaurant in Ibadan could ever match the atmosphere of quality and price they were offering.
According to Animasaun, they would be serving both local and international cuisine, and there isn’t a restaurant in the state that offers both at the same time.
He highlighted the Yoruba dishes that would be offered, including Egbo, Tuwo, rice, jollof rice, Piza, and swallow, stating that they are packaging a wide selection of menu items with an African taste as they have looked for capable staff.
He declared that the outlet would formally open tomorrow and offer a wide range of meals at reasonable prices, which is one of the basic reasons that makes them standard.
Animasaun added that the food could be purchased on a spot which is making Chicken Royale unique and incomparable to anything else.
The director concluded that they have been in Ibadan for over four years as they run Cafe 24 and also several other businesses in Ibadan noting that there are still going to be other outlets soon.
Chicken Royale is Operated by Food Partners Ltd and has Mr. Niyi Odejobi (Cafe 24) as the Chairman/ CEO of the company.
The ground opening ceremony and food tasting was attended by Executive chairmen of Ibadan Southwest and Ibadan North local government areas of Oyo State, Hon Kehinde Akande and Hon Shaib Yusuf (Agba Egbe), business tycoons, media personalities, comedians among others.
