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!

This place is small—only about three tables—but wow, the food is seriously amazing. We tried the garlic herb breast and wing with Portuguese rice, the leg and thigh with Portuguese rice, and the 5-piece tenders. Everything was packed with flavor. The meat was so tender it basically melts in your mouth. The tenders were super juicy and really well seasoned too. We also got the homemade green sauce and red hot sauce. The green sauce has a ton of flavor, and the red sauce has a nice heat without being too much. Mixing them together though… so good. The staff were really friendly, and the food came out pretty quick. It does get busy with pickup and delivery orders, which isn’t surprising once you taste the food. Definitely recommend this spot—we’ll for sure be back
