We decided to stop by Peri Peri Grill House after we were in the neighborhood and read the great reviews. It was a bit empty at the time so we were a little hesitant to even try it. We got the hot boneless chicken thigh (peri peri) with a side of fries, as well as the 8oz beef burger. One of the sauces was really good.
The place is clean, the food tastes good too. However, it’s a bit pricy for the neighborhood and what’s provided. For example, you get your food on paper plates. It’s not a big deal, but for the price, you’d expect actual plates. Furthermore, you get a small portion of peri peri chicken with lots of fries. The burger does not come with fries or a drink. $14.99 is too much for just one burger. The peri peri chicken should come with rice but rice isn’t a side option unless you purchase it separately.
Overall, the food is good but chicken portions could be improved and rice should be provided as a side option for the peri...

The menu sticks to basics with just a few additions to make sure even non-chicken lovers are taken care of. You can have a full bird cooked in this style, or take a few wings for a snack. Peri Peri Grill House marinates their birds overnight with a sauce that is excellent, but do not let that stop you from pouring more on yourself from the bottles they have available in...
Read moreI got a mango passion wrap with avocado, pepper jack, and cheddar cheese with garlic sauce on the side. All together, it was a 7 on a 10 point scale. I tasted absolutely no mango in it which was truly disappointing. The garlic sauce lacked the taste of garlic. It’s the type of sauce where you have to eat it for some time to build the taste. It’s not like the one that smacks you with a combo of wonderful flavors. Onto the wrap now, they could have seasoned the chicken a little bit. I understand you don’t want to overpower the taste but you also have to have some type of flavor. Like I said, tasted no mango. The upside though was that they gave a good portion. I ordered the single and I was stuffed. The shop looks cute and is located in a cute neighborhood. Size: 9/10 Flavor: 6/10 Freshness:...
