Pepe's Piri Piri - Motor City — Restaurant in Dubai

So if you know me you would know how much I miss UK takeouts! I really miss the taste we get there I’ve tried many places replicating Uk fast food but nothing comes close, so when I saw @pepesuae had opened a branch in Dubai I couldn’t control my excitement or my stomach! 🙈

@pepesuae is a meal a day for my daughter! Now I know why! The chicken is prepared freshly and grilled while you wait, the piri piri flavour leaves a lingering taste in your mouth and there’s no last bite bcoz you want more!

Piri piri actually means “pepper pepper” in Swahili, it’s a very small chilli pepper known for its bold flavour! All Pepe’s chicken can be ordered in 6 different flavours, and you can have them in burgers, wraps, alone or with rice.

Flavours: Mango & Lime, Lemon & Herb, Mild, Hot, Extra Hot & Extreme! “How hot can u go”?

⭐️Ambience ⭐️Service ⭐️Quality ⭐️ @zomatouae & @talabatuae ⭐️Indoor & Outdoor seating

🍗 Half grilled chicken (Hot): as mentioned HOT! Bursting with flavour & leaving a “I want more” kinda feeling in the mouth!

🍗 Chicken Wings (Hot): super juicy & tender, one bite and it’s gone! Check the highlights for a video 🙈

🥙 Chicken Pitta (Mango & Lime): a very unique taste, tangy.

🍽 Chicken & Rice (Mild): don’t be fooled by it being mild! It’s the best chicken & rice u will have, rice perfectly cooked with flavours popping and the super succulent chicken oh u HAVE to try this!

🍽 Paneer & Rice (Mild): to my surprise the paneer didn’t taste like paneer it was something so much better! Loved the tanginess.

Mozzarella Sticks: very cheesy!

🍟 who’s doesn’t love fries! But these u will LOOOOOVE more, they stayed crisp even after an hour of photo shoot! Piri piri flavouring on top gave it a kick!

🧁 Molten lava: some moltens only have the chocolate sauce drip while piping hot! This cake was warm and the sauce just ran! Scrumptious

🍰 Carrot Cake: I’m not a carrot cake fan but this was niiiice, tasted like Gajerela (desi sweet if u know)

🍰 Strawberry Cheesecake: perfect sweet balance, just the right amount of strawberry jam!

Overall I HIGHLY recommend you guys to try this...

A hidden "Grilled Chicken" gem in Dubai's sandpit all the way from the UK. An absolute mouthwatering addiction is a perfect way to describe their delicious food. Never felt a single taste bud tasting different flavour than the last time. Food is superbly consistent in taste and chicken is extremely tender.

Great place to have grilled chicken with a number of flavours to choose from mild to extra hot and their combo of mango with extra hot is serious treat to your taste buds. Tried extra hot chicken flavoured in Pita bread wrap today, couldn't satisfy my taste buds so ordered another and enjoyed every single bite again. Been in the UAE for over 20+ years never felt this addictive to grilled chicken ever before. Food is very light and you'll never feel heavy after their food.

Also, Handmade beef burger is a must to have their once.

Been a customer of Nandos for years and years here and globally, but after having Pepe's food, I'm never going back there for sure. Price is very affordable and taste is incomparable.

Serves to all from variety of their wide range of menu from children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens :).

I honestly never got disappointed with their staff. Always on their toes, genuinely welcoming and serving every single customer, regardless if you are there for the first time or a regular like me.

A MUST have food, absofreakinglutely! Try it to believe it.

P.S. I am writing this review for the first time and I have been eating here for good 5 months now. So, best "Taste Consistency and Unmatching Service" is their secret sauce of their addiction I mentioned above.

No one asked or requested me for this review honestly.

Keep us addicted...
