Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits in Paramaribo, Suriname

I  would like to start by saying:
By all means I am not a professional and not intending on being one. So if you have a problem with my blog just hit the x-button on the upper right of your page.
Also that the reviews I am giving are of my own opinion and I do no get paid by these companies (or anyone) to do so.



I would like to highlight one of my favorite junk food places in Suriname: Popeye's chicken and biscuits. When we lived in Auburn we had a chain of this Restaurant, but they closed because I guess their revenue was not that good there. Mainly because Auburnites do not like 'spicy foods'. So when we got here this was one of my must stops.
I have very fond memories as a young adult going to school (Lyceum 2) with my friends going to town and whatnot. However I recall it being very expensive. It was a bit of a luxury to eat there. But I guess when you look at let say a 2 piece chix meal is about SRD 23, that's about U$ 7 when you think going through customs and taxes. The price should be around there.
Oh well, they have some sort of collaboration with 'Kirpalani' at the moment, shop and eat, where when you spend SRD 50 you get a SRD 5 coupon that you can reimburse at Popeye's, Pizza boys and Rituals.
So if you go on a Saturday it is jammed packed.

My stud and I (LOL) usually go on a Saturday/ Sunday at about 3 pm I would say... Then you have peace and quiet. Before they were located upstairs at Krasnapolsky building, but they moved downstairs. Although I enjoyed being upstairs more when its quiet you get to enjoy the scenery.
One of the managers was very cute and polite. He was singing his favorite song that was  projected on the tv. (hey you are in Suriname !!!). Overall I enjoy this branch more than the one in Wilhelmina straat.
For a 2-top you will shed about SRD 50. So yeah...
The other draw back would be that you have to pay to go use the restroom (SRD 1.00= U$ 0.35).

Hope this helps guys :o).
love you and thank you for reading
