Delicious Peri Peri Chicken Delivery
I ordered delivery through Aadvantange dining and was very pleased with my experience. The peri peri chicken was excellent and did not disappoint on flavor. I will definitely order again when I visit San Francisco in the future!

Amazing Food, Worth a Visit!
This is one of those places where the score is way too low for the actual amazing taste and quality of the food they serve! I’ve had the lemon & herb, medium, hot, and extra hot chicken here and they were all great! The cassava fries are also amazing especially dipped in their white garlic sauce! And the corn on the cob is also great. This place is definitely more delicious than Nando’s. Came here two days in a row and both times were excellent!

Spicy Chicken with Cooling Sides
My experience at the restaurant featured a flame kissed whole chicken, which was quite flavorful. For those who enjoy heat, they offer a spicy bomb sauce. To balance the spice, I opted for the rice and potato salads, which were effective in cooling down the heat. The overall experience was positive, with high ratings for food, atmosphere, and service.

Terrible Service and Run-Down Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. The staff seemed uninterested in serving and appeared to be hired solely for cooking. The inside of the store was very run-down. I was told it would take 20 minutes to get fried chicken, which was communicated in broken English. Consequently, I left without ordering and would never waste my time going back.

Shocked by "Portuguese" Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite surprising. I was expecting Portuguese food, but what I received was Middle Eastern food and Indian food. I was taken aback and felt that it was inappropriate to label it as Portuguese cuisine. The reviewer's name is Ray Alan, and the metadata indicates that Service, Atmosphere, and Food were all rated a 3 out of 5.

Disappointing Experience at New Location
This review was painful as I enjoy the food from this chain so much. I frequent the Fremont location and am always raving about the food to my friends. I’m chalking this experience up to a new location and new staff, but I was extremely disappointed to say the least. I always had a feeling that online/pre-paid orders get subpar treatment, but this solidified my belief. I traveled over 2 hours for this food from Sacramento and was hosting 10 people over for dinner. I ordered 2 large family platters, another half chicken, and an extra side of rice, which amounts to 4 whole chickens and 9 large sides. When I was grabbing the food, I asked the server for more sauce, and he was arguing with me that I already had some. Extra sauce on a $200 order didn’t seem like an unreasonable request. Grudgingly, he gave me more. In terms of taste, the lemon and herb chicken was fine, but the mild chicken had no seasoning/sauce on it, which was more than half the order. Again, it appeared that this order was taken care of in a careless manner. The cassava fries were overcooked and burned, leaving no flesh inside and were so dry that they were very tough to eat. The size of the sides appeared to be small portions, as they were in smaller plastic containers. I have ordered from Fremont Peri Peri before, and the portions were halved compared to then. I felt ashamed when I had guests over and this was the dinner I was serving them. I’m hoping this experience never happens to anyone again, but I had to share what happened with me.

Good for Casual Catch-up
I visited this restaurant with a friend and found it to be quite empty, allowing us to choose our seats freely. I was particularly impressed with the sauces, especially when paired with the special rice. The corn cheese was also a big hit and complemented the rice well. The prices are very reasonable, offering good portions for the cost. There's plenty of seating available, and the menu has a good variety. On the downside, the atmosphere is very casual, and the staff were not very attentive, with self-seating. Overall, it was a good experience for a quick catch-up with a friend. The location is easy to get to, and I'm keen to try more items from the menu on a future visit.

Good Food, Slightly Overcooked Chicken
My experience at the restaurant was positive overall. The food was good, and the sauce they used was really good! I did feel the chicken was a little overcooked, but it was not chewy. It's definitely worth a try.

Dry chicken tenders, better sides
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I was unhappy that the chicken tenders were dry and overcooked. However, the rice and veggies were better. I did not feel it was good value for the price.
