The Port of Peri Peri |
|
927 South Roselle Road, Schaumburg, IL 60193
Our story begins long ago, when Portuguese sailors took with them a souvenir plant after visiting the coast of Africa. They took it home because they noticed that this tiny pepper, also called the African Bird's Eye chili didn't just contain the heat but had its own distinct flavor as well. The Bird's Eye chili is the star ingredient of our signature blends which gives our food a burst of fresh and irresistible twist like you've never tasted before! We bring you the same Peri Peri that made its way to the world from the Portuguese city of Porto across the Atlantic Ocean to entice the American taste buds. We took the same Peri Peri and added a new dimension to it with our secret blends that takes the taste of our food to a whole new level! Added on February 21, 2016 and last updated 3 years ago

★★★★☆ Great food, enjoyed it. They do take their time though. Staff is nice and pleasant. Went their for iftar and was not as packed as other restaurants which was helpful in making a decision to eat there. Spicy really means so be careful Posted on May 28, 2018 |

★★★★★ Their staff is always changing but their chicken is always the best. I truly love Peri Peri. Ive had mistakes in my order in the past which they always accommodate. I come once a month! PS extra hot is truly very hot so beware!! Posted on February 20, 2018 |

★☆☆☆☆ Disappointed for multiple reasons. Ordered 4 entrees and far less food showed up than expected. 1/4 Chicken breast and leg came out with a completely burnt leg. The breast was decent but the cuts down to the bone released all the juices while cooking. The quantity of meat in the 7 tender meal was less than one chicken breast.
The food tasted decent.
But the thing that drops my score to a 1 started off with a sign that read:
"Please do not pray in the front of the restaurant. Please pray in the alley and ask for details."
It was Maghrib, so I asked if I go through the building or around. The owner asked me to go out from the front and take two lefts to the alley and he would have prayer rugs for us.
I thought, "cool" until I started smelling the nasty sewage and garbage and grease traps in that alley. It was terrible.
For a Halal restaurant to ask its patrons to pray next to the dumpster among the literal trash is disgraceful and condescending. Posted on July 30, 2017 |

★☆☆☆☆ Chicken was not cooked .. when we complained he took it from the plate and put it on the grill.. burned the outside of the chicken and returned it. Was still uncooked. I have pictures of this gross chicken if anyone needs proof. Posted on July 25, 2017 |

★★★★☆ I've been here with my family on multiple occasions. The peri peri chicken is always delicious and juicy. The sauces are plentiful, I find even medium heat to be pretty spicy and almost overpowering on the tastebuds so be warned. They could probably improve around the cleanliness but generally the food is solid for a fast-casual restaurant. Posted on June 1, 2017 |

★★★★★ A Nando’s alternative, Porto’s is doing a wonderful job serving grilled peri peri chicken, which in fact is getting quite popular.
Everything here is fresh and made to order. They first marinate the chicken for 24 hours, steam it and then grilled to perfection. The food actually came earlier than we expected. But that was probably because we came in early and the restaurant wasn’t busy.
We ordered the Family Platter (with two whole chicken) and it was packed with flavor. Served with a variety of spice options, you can make your food little to very spicy. We choose the “medium” and trust me it’s spicy. Anything above, you will burst into tears.
The restaurant is clean and spacious, with modern brick walls and art. It can accommodate big families with children or your traditional parties of two or four.
The best thing was their garlic sauce. It was delicious and addictive. Posted on December 2, 2016 |

★★★★☆ I tried this place on a Saturday night at prime time dinner time were a party of 5 people. We were lucky enough to catch a table right away. After placing the order, it took about 17-20 min to receive our food. I personally did not mind the wait. You have to keep in mind, this if freshly prepared food. Not fast food or premade food that is usually faster. In any case, the food was good. I personally like my chicken well done with a little more char, so next time I will be sure to say that when I order. I had a good experience with the staff and thought they were friendly.

★★★☆☆ Great food, best tasting chicken in the Chicagoland area. Unfortunately poor service offsets the food quality. I may try this place again, hopefully they will have their house in order. Posted on March 5, 2016 |

★★★☆☆ Delicious chicken, and we'll worth the hype. There's a reason this is the hottest Halal place right now, just a couple weeks after they opened. I'd suggest you wait a bit, for them to get the operation running smoothly; clean bathrooms, attentive service, tightening up the menu descriptions, etc. We'll definitely be going back!

★★★★★ Newly certified by Halal Advocates, this is the hottest halal restaurant in Chicago right now. They only serve chicken and its unreal mA. You get to choose between 5 different spice flavors plus plain. Great service, nice decor and amazing food. You can't go wrong. Posted on February 25, 2016 |
