Part of the The Port of Peri Peri chain — see all 28 locationsOur 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!

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
