🐔 Pepe’s Piri Piri – London

An underwhelming experience with poor value for money

During our visit to Pepe’s Piri Piri, we opted for a “meal for two” promotion that included two chicken wings (or perhaps pigeon wings, given their tiny size), a small portion of fries suitable for a child, and dry salads without any dressing. The staff member claimed this meal could feed four people, which was quite an overstatement. We spent approximately £18, a price that doesn’t align with the quality or quantity provided.

🍗 Quality and Portions

The chicken wings were surprisingly small, more akin to pigeon wings than standard chicken wings. The fries were scant and lacked flavor or texture. The salads were dry, lacked freshness, and had no dressing, making them unappetizing.

💷 Value for Money

Comparing with Pepe’s official menu, for £18, one could opt for a Combo Platter that includes half a chicken, three wings, two large portions of fries, and two sauces. However, the promotion we purchased didn’t come close in quality or quantity to what’s expected.

🗣️ Other Customer Opinions

Our experience isn’t isolated. On platforms like Yelp, several customers have expressed dissatisfaction with Pepe’s, mentioning issues such as cold food, small portions, and poor customer service.

✅ Conclusion

While Pepe’s Piri Piri is a popular chain in the UK, our experience was disappointing. The combination of minimal portions, mediocre quality, and high prices leads us to not recommend this establishment. There are numerous options in London that offer better value for money and a more satisfying...

If I could give 0 stars I would. Me and my partner had ordered 2 chicken tasca meals on Deliveroo. This is something we occasionally order and enjoy, and we called up the store to specially ask for no siraccha on them as I’m allergic and my partner doesn’t like spice. The woman on the phone didn’t seem to listen properly but I trusted it as I have never had an issue before this. The order arrives and I can already see the siraccha dripping out of both of my tascas. I called up the store to ask them to re send them out, and the same lady answered and told me ‘we will just do better next time’, yet I’ve just wasted £40 on my dinner that I now cannot eat. I got passed on to a manager who told me to get a refund through Deliveroo, and I expressed how this is a joke as I wanted my dinner and would then have to wait 3-5 days for the money to come back into my bank. Very disgusted with the customer service and the lack of care when we are going out of our way to specially ask for changes on the order, I really suggest this branch trains their staff better with how to deal with customers, as I used to work at the Sutton Coldfield branch and we would have all our front of house staff well trained with better manners. Really has put me off ordering with you guys again, nothing was done to help rectify the issue from there end and left 2 very loyal customers...

The menu at Pepe's Piri Piri boasts a delightful array of options, but it is their chicken wrap and paneer wrap that truly steal the show. The chicken wrap, tender and succulent, is a symphony of flavors, marrying the bold heat of piri piri sauce with the cool crunch of fresh vegetables, all nestled within a warm tortilla. Each bite offers a harmonious balance of textures and tastes, leaving one craving more.

For vegetarians or those simply craving a change of pace, the paneer wrap is a standout choice. Featuring cubes of paneer marinated in aromatic spices, it delivers a satisfying punch of flavor without compromising on freshness or quality. Paired with a generous helping of crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and tangy sauce, it is a delightful option sure to please even the most discerning palate.

Pepe's Piri Piri offers more than just delectable wraps; it provides a sanctuary of flavor and warmth around the city center (I've been to the Pepe's near the city center), where every visit promises a taste of culinary excellence and a dose of genuine...
