I really enjoyed my visit tonight to The Port of Peri Peri Schaumburg and will be back soon to eat in and order takeout - the food I ordered was delicious, there was speedy and friendly service, and the setup for dining in was especially comfortable and clean. I was pleasantly surprised to find sturdy metal flatware at the tables, including larger steak knives to cut thicker textured food like cuts of meat, since a lot of places that offer counter service usually only have plastic utensils to offer at best. There are also napkins and salt & pepper at the tables; if you order food and request it, there are also tasty chili & garlic sauces that you can add to your liking. The food I got came in generous portion sizes. I will have more than enough for lunch tomorrow and probably enough to share with my husband. The lemon herb chicken & rice came with 4 large, boneless, well-trimmed from fat & gristle pieces of juicy chicken that was cooked to have a nice char on the outside without being burnt and had a lot of the lemon sauce. The rice was fluffy and complemented the chicken well. I also ordered peri cassava fries which were crisp on the outside and cooked through without being mushy on the inside. There are canned Coke drinks available along with Joe teas, I ordered a Sprite with my meal and also ordered an Adeni Chai with sugar to go near the end of my meal. It’s not pictured but perfect - not too sweet and a good balance of spices. It comes very hot in a well insulated to go coffee cup, so take the lid off to vent it if you want to drink it sooner. It would be nice to take with after a meal on a cold day - sipping it feels like a warm hug
