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!

Finally, a Peri Peri restaurant here in Columbus. While I have been waiting forever for a Nando’s, we get The Port of Peri Peri which I believe is a better substitute. The Port of Peri Peri uses the same Peri Peri sauce but offers more variety. Their spiciness rating is quite accurate. So do milder mild if you really want mild, as their mild is a bit spicy. Their specialty is grilled chicken. But they also have burgers, lamb chops, short ribs and others. They have plenty and creative choices of sides such as cassava fries and port rice. Spoke with franchise owner who is very passionate bringing Peri Peri chicken here in Columbus. Friendly and accommodating staff. Nice and clean ambiance and ample parking. Highly recommended.
