This was my first Yelp event to attend. We attended the second session and everyone was very friendly. Unfortunately, we weren't served everything on the menu. Our event consisted mostly of chicken. Whole grilled chicken, chicken quesadilla, and chicken wings. We also had rice and corn side dishes. The corn was similar to street corn. Among the food, I enjoyed the quesadilla the most. The entertainment consisted of a belly dancer, which helped the time pass while the kitchen was cooking the food. Overall, I had a great time for my first event! read more

Once again, Jando and friends create one of the best Elite events a conisseur can ask for. Mirchi Peri Peri delivers a sit-down and stuff your face feast. Out of the basmati rice, the halved chicken, quesadilla, wings, and lychee/strawberry green tea, two items stood out to me. The wings are fantastic. The homemade sauce is to die for. Perfectly grilled, juicy wings. Tangy, sweet, and a little bit of heat--everything I look for in a wing. The green tea was nothing short of amazing. They really have a keen sense for making mixed beverages. The tea component is notable but not overpowering or bitter--extremely refreshing. It's an inviting atmosphere. Dessert was also served following the meal. A decadent delectable, custardy Spanish flan. You can bet I will be returning with more friends. Again, thank you for such a wonderful night. Cheers! read more

Although this event was shorter than normal it was very interesting. This place has been on my list to try and this opportunity allowed me to experience it. Mirchi Peri Peri is located in the La Centerra area but on Cinco Ranch Blvd in the next block from La Centerra. This was a seated event and it allowed me to connect with newer yelp elites. We were treated with entertainment while we awaited our first servings. Vera is a belly dancer for over 15 years and danced for us while we waited. Something very different but nevertheless very entertaining. Our first serving were the flame grilled wings coated with two different sauces. They were very tasty. Next came the creamed corn, so delicious. Next were the whole chicken gilled to perfection and the peri peri rice with a hint of curry. Lastly we had chicken quesadillas, they were excellent also. We had strawberry lychee green tea lemonade to sip with our meals. All were extremely delicious on my part and I have now added them to my dining rotation. read more

Saul and his team were great. It was good customer service and they moved with urgency which I love!!! The food came out quick and hot. It was seasoned well and the sauces were good. It was chicken chicken and chicken... which I love. The wings were unique but good. The quesadillas was full of a creamy chicken mixture. It was okay. The grilled chicken was my favorite. Perfection. The lyche drink was amazing! Never tasted lyche before.. will definitely go back refills. Very nice spot. The belly dancer was a extra bonus. She was awesome read more

Came here for the Yelp elite event and wow! Was definitely wowed by the food. We tried the rice, chicken, wings, quesadilla, and the strawberry lychee tea. All were absolutely phenomenal! It's a smaller restaurant, grate for date night or an evening with the family but the food definitely packs up punch. We will definitely be back! read more

@mperiperikatytx & @YelpHouston This event was da bomb.com. From start to end, it was the best yelp event that I have attended so far. We had a live belly dancing performance by Vera, which was both entertaining and intriguing. From the employees to the owner, Sal, is the reason for this. He was very friendly and came up to our table to chat with us. He explained his favorite two awesome drinks to us. Strawberry lychee green tea lemonade and Mango Lychee green tea lemonade. He said that they were all natural and no sugar added. I love Lychee and Strawberry, and I could taste it in the drink. It was so refreshing and delicious. He gave us the Strawberry Lychee green tea lemonade first(my fav). Later, he also gave us the Mango one, which was also tasty. Sal treated us like family! The employees were very nice as well. They were constantly bringing out food to the tables. We started with the Chicken Wings, which were huge in size. They came with the drizzled house sauce and another sauce because I tasted bbq. They needed a bit more cook time because some of them were still red near the bone. The Chicken Quesadillas were brought out next. Those were my absolute favorite! I could only eat 1 piece of the 4 that came on the plate. I was already getting full. The rice or the corn came out next. I did not eat the corn and got a spoonful of rice. I put some Peri Lebanese sauce on it. That sauce was so good, and the hot sauce was either the inferno or the dynamite sauce, but I kept putting both sauces on everything, and it was yummy! The Peri Grilled Chicken came out, and I was already out done. I did eat some, but by that time, I knew that I could not indulge anymore. I was totally stuffed. They kept coming around, putting more and more chickens on the table. We had a feast for sure. The second session better had come hungry because they were definitely getting fed. I do believe that if I had eaten before I came, I would've been disappointed in myself to not get to experience all that goodness. I went up to Sal to thank him for his hospitality and tell him how great everything was. I will definitely come back soon and recommend it to everyone that I know! read more

What a fun event! It was so cool to be able to see a belly dancing performance for the first time. She was very talented and kept us on our toes with all the props she used. This was probably the most generous event I've ever attended in terms of food quantity. The plates just kept coming! I quite liked the creamy corn and the saucy wings. Also appreciated that this was a sit down event! Loved being able to connect with the community. read more

Small but nicely decorated restaurant. Only gripe was the lack of A/C, but understandable since they were cooking a lot of food. Once the event began, we found our seats and strawberry lychee green tea lemonades were brought out quickly. Super refreshing! Got to watch belly dancing. Highlight of the dinner were the spicy wings; great flavors. Chicken quesadilla was ok. The rice was kind of bland but the cream corn was pretty good. Glad Sal suggested trying the bone-in-chicken without any sauce first; chicken was juicy and sauce later elevated the flavor. Workers also brought out bottled waters to share. Nice first Yelp event! Will revisit Mirchi Peri Peri in the future. read more

Easily 5 stars because of the service alone. This was such a fun event and we were overly spoiled and indulgent. I love that the owner had a belly dancer for our entertainment and kept the food coming non stop. We started with the peri peri wings and they were made very well. I would absolutely come back just for these. The whole chicken was also seasoned well and would be great to have left over spicy chicken sandwich of you like that because there is so much! I was not a complete fan of the corn, although it was very buttery, it just gave nothing else. The rice was also a tad overcooked as well but went well with some of the owners homemade garlic sauce. The quesadillas we had were great. Gooey melted cheese and perfectly cooked chicken! Definitely would also have this again. We were also offered mango and strawberry lemonade and both were great. Not too sweet and a nice touch to some of the spices in the foods so you can calm your pallet a bit. This was my first Yelp event and we were all made to feel very comfortable and it was an enjoyable experience. I think the prices are very fair for the amount you get. I loved the cinco ranch location. I respected that the owner was present and accountable and took constructive critiques very well. Great experience and will be back when in the area. read more

This place was great all the way around. Sal was courteous, friendly and exceeded customer service. The food was great and it went perfectly with the Strawberry Lychee, Black Tea keeping it all fresh. The quesadillas were surprisingly delicious. Personally I love my wings extra crispy but you have to get wings and try all of different sauces. Shout out to the belly dancer who put on a great show too. read more

What a fun and engaging event! Thanks to Sal for explaining the concept behind Mirchi Peri Peri, bc I had no idea of this fusion. We started off with a refreshing strawberry lychee green tea lemonade. Then the food was nonstop! I was nervous about the heat factor but everything was well spiced and delicious. Vera kicked off the night with her performance and continued strong through the entire event - Super impressed considering this was the second performance of the night! read more

Hello Mirchi Peri Peri! I have never heard of a Portuguese restaurant with South African twists! I can also appreciate that they are 100% Halal and Always Fresh! We were prepared via email to sample: Bone-in chicken, chicken wings, beef Bihari burgers, lollipop chicken, peri rice, corn, fries, coleslaw, alfredo mac and cheese, and more, alongside water and strawberry lychee green tea lemonade. Well... We never had the "and more", the beef Bihari burgers, lollipop chicken, fries, coleslaw, or the Alfredo mac and cheese. I also saw many pictures of flan. I guess that was served in the second session. I don't necessarily take that as a loss because I never met a flan that I liked anyway. But let me tell you when I read about the burgers, the lollipop chicken, and especially the Alfredo mac and cheese?? My palette was more than ready. I did not eat all day preparing for this feast! Sal, the Owner, and Jando spoke briefly just for some background, and I loved that. Sal was super complimentary, humble, and passionate. You could see that all through his service and checking on everyone. He came to our table several times to see how we were doing, what we liked, how things were going, and to share a couple of jokes. He was so wonderful. Upon entering, he even secretly told me where to sit even though I had to move seats eventually (cough cough), but it was understood why. Lol. We were told that the service might be slow but they wanted to bust things out quickly...and THAT they did. They kept on bringing dish after dish and we had whiplash from all the plates we had to photograph! It was awesome! I think this is the fastest service I've ever had in Yelp history. Sal and his staff were intentional in service and ensured everyone had everything to sample. Everything we tasted: **Peri Peri Rice: Rice with aromatic spices. (Vegetarian). The rice seemed quite plain, almost acting as a canvas for the more flavorful proteins and sauces. **Peri Creamed Corn: Corn kernels with Peri mayonnaise sauce, topped with our special peri peri seasoning. It had more of a buttery flavor, and the seasoning did not seem very potent. **Loaded Quesadilla Wrap: Chicken quesadilla wrap with all our veggies. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, pickles, and jalapenos. My favorite! So so delicious. They were dense, cheesy, and hot. After every dish was served, I snuck and asked Sal for another quesadilla, and he smiled and delivered. I grabbed two more pieces! Lol, I loved it. I did suffer from bloating, etc. but it was worth it. **Flame Grilled Wings: Flame-grilled wings are grilled on high heat, and once they're done cooking, they're fried. The wings were delightful, especially when paired with the Peri-Peri hot sauce. While the garlic sauce was okay, I found the hot sauce to be much more enjoyable. Sal said that was the original recipe for the Peri-Peri hot sauce from Africa. He also noted that the garlic sauce (yellow one), was a unique blend that he created and took a couple of months to perfect. **Whole Chickens: Flame-grilled whole chickens with spices. The whole chickens were a pleasant surprise. The meat was tender and juicy, and it tasted even better DRENCHED in the Peri-Peri sauce. Also, the charring was a beautiful surprise. I love a charred protein! I'm still very much sad about the mac and cheese, the burger, and the other items I was looking forward. So... that means I will have to come here and patronize Sal's restaurant again! In the end, I was able to ask Vera for some moves for our very unplanned black-and-white crew. Lol. Vera was our entertainment for the evening; a belly dancer with over 15 years of experience, I believe. When she started clinking, I knew we were in for an experience. She came over and chime-chime-chimed in my ear and I felt like the cartoons where they get dizzy. Lol. She is a showman and did a great job. Vera said that she was taking a quick "commercial break" and never got back up again. LMBO. I asked Vera if she was getting up, and she said yes, and kept on eating her food. We started laughing at each other and moved on. Sal's staff was super! (They DID overlook our table several times initially, but they were always very apologetic about it.) They always made sure that we had what to eat and what to drink and were never lacking anything. I thought that was amazing. I always say how you train your staff is the level of business owner you are and the level of human you are. It was a super excellent customer experience. I'm so blessed and privileged to have been here. Thank you so much, Jandooooo and the Yelp Houston team, for taking the time to research and court Sal and Mirchi Peri Peri. It was a pretty awesome experience. read more

Our senses were surely spiced up after the wonderful hospitality Sal & the team at Mirchi Peri Peri provided us an incredible experience of Pakistani & African food fusion. From start to finish Sal made sure that we were taken care of and made sure everything was freshly prepared as we were in his house! The Sal crafted strawberry lychee green tea lemonade was a hit. We had live entertainment from a folklore belly dancer who gave a wink that we were at the right place for an enjoyable evening. The food had food had decent flavor. Maybe a bit more seasoning. Towards the end one of my table mates had chicken that was a bit bloody. Aside from that, it was an Enjoyable time with great group of friends and foodies. Thank you Jando & team on the hard work and all the efforts with the team at Mirchi to provide a memorable experience. Thank you! read more

This was my first time at Mirchi Peri Peri and it did not disappoint! For the yelp event we sat down and were served 5 different dishes and a drink. We got to try the famous chicken wings with the house made garlic sauce and hot sauce. The owner came and talked with our table and mentioned that he spent lots of time perfecting his garlic sauce recipe and that is what ended up being my favorite. We were also served the peri rice, chicken quesadilla, peri peri chicken, corn and a strawberry lychee lemonade. The flavors were spot on and everything was delicious. They even had a belly dancer who kept us entertained the whole session. Thank you for an awesome event! read more

This was a top notch event with great dancing entertainment and delicious food prepared from the heart! Sal, the owner, is proud to share his love of cooking with others! I loved everything that was served- the sauce on the wings was full of flavor with a perfect spice level to wake up the senses, the corn was creamy and yummy, the quesadillas were fresh and crispy in the outside with a gooey melted cheese center, and the main course chicken was tender and had a nice light flavor. I loved getting to meet new people and share a meal! Well done! Thank you for the opportunity! read more

The Mirchi Peri Peri Event was super awesome and their team was really amazing as well. The customer service was top tier, as they were super attentive to us. The food was sooo good. It was chicken on top of chicken on top of more chicken. The sauce they have with chicken was sooo good, and spicy which I absolutely love. Beware, they sell it on the side as well. The quesadilla were creamy and very flavorful. The chicken wings were good as well, but adding the yellow and red sauce to them added more flavor to the wings. They also served lyche green tea, and it was pretty good. Never had it before but wished I had gotten a refill before I left. I would definitely come back, as the experience was amazing. read more

This was a really amazing event. It featured a nice sample of the most popular dishes. The owner and staff were very welcoming. Additionally they had a show during this dinner. During dinner, we had a taste of strawberry lychee green tea, cheesy quesadilla, chicken wings with some of their sauces, cream, corn, rice, grilled chicken. My favorite was the grilled chicken and corn's favorite with the chicken wings. Also let us try some more of their other sauces. They have a total of 15 different types. We had tried the mango lime, Lebanese, and dynamite. Lastly, parking is free and in front of the restaurant. read more

This was my first time attending this type of event. I was not disappointed! It started out with owner Sal explaining about the kinds of foods represented at his restaurant and the inspiration behind this food. Learning a bit about the culture behind the foods served here was a bonus, especially when I found out how he went out of his way to ensure the foods were authentic. The food was served on a platter for each table, with more than enough for all. I enjoyed the wings and was surprised that I also enjoyed the cheese corn so much. Vera, the belly dancer was superb and very entertaining. My first time being so close to this type of entertainment and it was great. Sal went to each table to speak with us, making the event more personal. I also met a new friend, Cynthia, and we had lots to talk about. This was a totally enjoyable event. The location was just the right size and so nice to have this type of food in this area. read more

This was a wonderful experience with solid food. As soon as we sat down a beautiful pink drink arrived. At first I thought it was passion fruit, but it turned out it was strawberry lychee. Sweet and delicious. Not long after the wings landed. These are great. They brought us a second plate when a fifth person joined our table. Next out was the quesadillas. These were solid. Something a little different about them but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Nonetheless I enjoyed them especially with the garlic aioli and the spicy sauces that were on the table. Then came out rice and creamed corn. I didn't quite understand this I assumed something else was going to come up with them eventually and it did, chicken. The rice and the cream corn were both pretty average. The chicken was moist but I didn't feel like it had a lot of flavor. Despite being full we joked about how good the wings were and next thing we knew another plate of wings had arrived. Of course I had to eat a few of those. Over the course of the event we kept chatting with the owner every time he would walk by. He mentioned his second best drink, the mango lychee and brought us a round of those. I like the strawberry lychee better as it was sweeter, but the mango lychee was a little more tart and thirst quenching. Both were delicious. I really enjoyed the family style tasting being able to talk with people at my table about the food, and getting to know the story behind the food in the owner. Overall it was a great event. Five star event, five star drinks and wings, four star quesadilla, the rice, corn and Chicken didn't excite me as much. I look forward to coming back for the wings and the sauces! read more

Belly dancers as entertainment and great food and company at the Yelp event was just what I needed. We got to taste Sal the owner's own concoction special lemonade as refreshments. We started with their wings which I smothered with their two sauces they provided at the table. The sauce was a spicy garlic and Mirchi Dynamite sauce which I combined together. The sauce has a harmonious balance of heat and a medley of spices and herbs. It definitely gives a kick to the wings. Next was the tortilla stuffed with grilled chicken and mozzarella cheese quesadilla. We got rice and creamed corn to go with the flamed grill whole chicken. Our first serving of the flamed grill whole chicken came out very charred and dry. We got second servings and it came out much better. I really enjoyed their sauces so I was dipping everything from wings, corn and whole flame grilled chicken. My sister and I would stay longer to chat with our Yelp family but we were heading out supper early out of town for a funeral. What a great experience. Thxs Jando for this great Yelp event. read more

Thanks to Yelp and Mirchi's staff for organizing this event. It was a very nice experience. This was my very first time having peri peri chicken, I had been meaning to try it for a while now. Thanks for the opportunity. I really enjoyed going to this restaurant and thought having a belly dancer was very nice and unique. Thanks to the owner for being so gracious to answer all our questions and explaining the menu for us. In regards to the food, I gotta congratulate the owner for coming up with such a refreshing delicious drink ( strawberry lychee green tea). Loved it! 12/10! Perfect summer drink. Overall the food was very good and abundant, I even got to take some home, that was very generous. My favorite was the quesadilla and that yellow sauce (medium spice) pairs very well with everything we tried. read more

One thing for sure and two things for certain is we all left fat and full! This was a fun event as it was open to the community so we were able to meet new yelpers that we don't typically meet. As soon as we were seated the entertainment began! I enjoyed the belly dance performer and hearing about how Sal brought this restaurant into fruition. He is a great host and was very personable, coming right chat at our table and ensure that we were well taken care of. As mentioned, there was an abundance of chicken, wings, rice, corn and quesadillas. People even took home leftovers! I absolutely loved the lychee/green tea! Hands down my favorite thing we had and just would absolutely come back for a big pitcher of it! I liked how the sauce had a nice kick to it and I believe Sal created it himself. My only critique would be that the rice could use a bit more flavor and the chicken quarters had the aftertaste from the grill so we had to add some more of the sauce to mask it but other than that I am grateful for Sal's hospitality as well as Jando and the yelp team for allowing us to attend this event read more

It was great attending the event! Everything was so organized and we were fed with several delicious meals and drinks! My favorites were the wings, corn and quesadillas they were to die for and the flavors were delicious and Sal made it from his own personal recipes!!! The staff and owner were very attentive making sure everything ran smoothly and even came to the table to check on us and tell us the inspirations for each food item. The only thing that could have been better was the rice and the peri peri chicken. They didn't have as much seasoning on them and seemed very dry. The sauces helped a little with the rice but the chicken wasn't as good. I would def check out this restaurant again because I need to try more items on the menu! read more
