I picked this place randomly for lunch after the gym & I was throughly impressed. I got the 'Put me in chicken pita' & it was soooo delicious & fresh. Also very affordable. The restaurant was very clean and nice; as well as the staff they were super nice & helpful. I definitely will be back to try everything else on the menu! Update: Came back to say that I love this place, everything is so delicious and fresh. This shrimp bow with medium sauce? Bombbb read more

Peri Peri Bistro - Grilled Shrimp Bowl - Chicken Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

When Peri Peri opened up, my husband and I visited once. We had a good experience at this place, so we decided to return for dinner. Oh boy, we regretted our decision the entire time we were eating. I ordered Grilled Beef Bowl with Steamed Seasonal Veggies and Roasted Corn with spicy level Hot, and my husband ordered Chicken Wrap with Yuca Fries. There's an ice cream freezer with a sign that says if you spend more than $15, you get a free ice cream. Vanilla ice cream we got tasted the best out of everything we ordered. Let me start with my food: Rock hard, bone dry beef I've ever tasted in my life. I thought I was eating days-old beef jerky. Beef had no flavor whatsoever. I seriously thought if the kitchen gave me days old beef for some reason. "Steamed Seasonal Veggies" tasted like heated up frozen veggies from grocery store. Roasted Corn was fine. "Hot" sauce drizzled on top of my dish was too tangy and sour, which overwhelmed the experience altogether. I left almost entire dish, but took it home thinking 1) I'm going to pick out and throw all the beef pieces because they are nasty and 2) I'm going to add real vegetables and other seasoning to revive this dish. I'm not wasting my almost $16 dish into the trash can. Now going to Chicken Wrap. I had no appetite to even take a bite of this food after eating my dish. Per my husband, wrap has no flavor and he had to drench the entire wrap with White Dip to taste anything. Very underwhelming. There were so little Yuca Fries that came with Chicken Wrap. Service was fine. I didn't expect too much. Ambiance was also fine. I absolutely loved the chicken mural they have on the wall. But neither could fix my ruined dinner from mediocre beef. It was such an underwhelming experience, which I hate to document on Yelp for a small business. However, I'm quite unhappy from getting "full" from meh food. read more

Peri Peri Bistro - Grilled Beef Bowl (+Steamed Seasonal Veggies and Roasted Corn) and Chicken Wrap (+Yuca Fries) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This place has been great everytime we've tried their food! Right from the chicken quarters that is served with a delectable garlic sauce on the side. We can choose the seasoning and/or heat level. Their lamb burger was juicy, delish and def satisfied my pregnancy cravings. We recently did go back to try their lamb chops that was good (but I prefer the chicken leg quarters and the lamb burger)and a paneer plate that was very simple and would love some more sauce/ seasoning on it! The The guy upfront who takes the orders is really nice and always makes our experience even better! read more

Halal option with decent menu choices but not the best quality and flavors feel lacking

If we're not enjoying meals like this while we're tripping, I'm not going! My husband and I are visiting from New Jersey, and we found Peri Peri Bistro. My spidey sense told me to step inside and try the cut corn, saffron rice, and the jerk chicken wings! My husband chose the grilled salmon bowl with rice. We also ordered white and orange sauces - just to sample the flavors. He sipped on sweet tea, while I enjoyed a nice refreshing Pepsi. I absolutely love trying new flavors, and I was really excited to dig into our food. First off, I have to say how much I appreciate that they serve their meals on real dishes with silverware--it really adds to the experience! The corn was incredibly sweet and flavorful, reminding me of street corn. It paired perfectly with the jasmine rice, especially with a sprinkle of the orange sauce for that extra kick! If you like Ranch dressing, I suggest the white sauce, but I really didn't need it. Honestly, I can't rave enough about how delicious everything was--trust me, it was that good! Now, let's chat about the jerk chicken. It was fantastic! The flavors were a little different from your usual Jamaican jerk chicken; there was a sudden hint of cinnamon that didn't overpower anything. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're a chicken wing eater like me. And the salmon? Wow! After tasting it, both my husband and I were blown away. It came with its own tasty sauce that just highlighted the entire dish! You can tell the food is not frozen. Everything is made fresh and served with such warmth, which truly made our visit even better. I'm giving Peri Peri Bistro a two thumbs up and Thank You for a great dining experience! If you find yourself in Raleigh, NC, make sure to swing by--you won't regret it! read more

For a fast casual place, the food was very good. There was only 1 employee in front but he was very efficient serving customers and also clearing the tables. Food portions were very generous and well flavored. You have many sauce flavors to choose from for your chicken. Chicken burger was very good but the only issue we had was that they used chicken tenders which falls out easily. read more

My friend ordered carry out so I can't speak to the location or the service. My friends LOVE this place so I'll probably give it another chance, but my food tasted bad. Like it had something bad in it or was made with bad water. I didn't finish it and my friend who likes it agreed it tasted weird. I may try it again but overall, not impressed. read more

Peri Peri Bistro - Chicken Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza with several other businesses. Shared parking is located in front of the business. There are several tables and a self serve ice and water machine inside of the business. I came in early Sunday afternoon and there were a couple of people dining in. The cashier was friendly. I ordered the zesty cauliflower bites and an order of wings tossed with the southern Cajun sauce at the register. My food was brought out to me a short time later.The Cajun sauce had a kick to me. I enjoyed the garlic sauce that I got with the cauliflower bites. I would definitely get the cauliflower bites again and try another sauce on the wings or another type of chicken next time. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Brier Creek location that I recommend you visit soon. I admit that I didn't stop by initially because I was unsure what Peri Peri chicken was and if it would be too spicy but it was delicious! The spices are very flavorful and there are numerous sauce options to choose from that range from very mild to very hot. We tried the wing bowl, chicken wrap, lamb chops, shrimp, and salmon. The corn and corn ribs had to be my favorite sides. My bf enjoyed the fries and fried cauliflower. No matter how stuffed you are, get the mousse cake. Best dessert I've had in a while. The mango and strawberry lemonades were delicious too: refreshing and not too sweet. The owners and workers were super friendly and accommodating. read more

I have been here twice now and I'm only sorry I didn't try it sooner! The food is SO good, and each time the service has also been spectacular. The staff have been helpful in offering suggestions and explaining what each dish is and the menu with pictures is great too. Both times, I have gotten the chicken tender bowl with island mango sauce. Others I have been with have tried other sauces as well and enjoyed them. I like to add steamed veggies and feta to my bowl and I do mine with brown rice. We also have gotten a large order of yucca and the corn frites. Both are AMAZING. The white sauce that you can get with the bowl or yucca is SO good. It's like a creamy garlic ish sauce. The orange sauce is also good. It's almost like a special buffalo or spicy buffalo mayo, it does have a kick! I think the chicken portions are a good size on the bowls and there is a good amount of rice as well that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. FF chicken will definitely become a staple in our household when we are looking for a healthier option for carry out. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu too! read more

Good service and food was ready quick. You can taste the grilled flavor on the chicken which was great. I can do without the seasoned piece of lettuce on the side (literally 2 pieces of seasoned lettuce.) The street corn was very basic, not impressed at all. Overall it was just ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to back read more

9/15/2023 12:30 PM For lunch, I wanted to step outside my usual. I decided to drop in and try FF chicken for lunch. The staff at the front was welcoming and pleasant. The dining area was clean and presentable. How often do you see a restaurant confirming vegan-fed, free-range, MSG, hormone-free, and non-frozen ever facts about their chicken products? Not too often. After arriving I didn't even settle on chicken, (smiling) but I love what FF has going on here! I ordered 3 pc Fiery Lamb Cutlets (very small portions) which is typical of lamb served anywhere. No sides or a drink is included. I added Cole slaw and Spicy battered cauliflower with Aleppo Pepper. I'm a fan of all things lamb and cauliflower, so it's a winner for me. Everything was delicious! The sauces given weren't needed and I wasn't a fan of them as I'm not a condiments person. To be honest, this was an expensive lunch but well worth it. This meal carried me for almost the remainder of my extended workday. The chops were flavorful, and tender like most natural free-range meats. read more

Friendly staff who answer your questions and make recommendations. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted because they have numerous options and ways to customize your order. I don't remember what I got besides a bowl with greens and saffron rice. The chicken was a little too charred for my liking. However, the buffalo cauliflower bites were delicious! And you get a gigantic portion. I could've just eaten them for dinner. It comes with a side of yummy white sauce. read more

We enjoyed our lunch here today! This weekend is their grand opening, and the first 100 people got a free chicken tender and rice bowl (we both chose saffron rice). I chose lemon-garlic sauce, and my friend chose the hot shot sauce. Since our main dishes were complimentary, we paid for two sides--a huge bowl of yuca fries and a plate of falafel. Everything was delicious! The chicken was well cooked, the fries were done just right and were not at all salty, and the parsley in the falafel was bright and fresh. Service was friendly and quick, too. Although other reviews said the hot-shot flavoring was quite spicy, my friend didn't think it was spicy at all. Entering is a little confusing. Where you line up to order isn't marked, and we wound up going the wrong way. Also, their main dishes don't come with a side, so adding one for $5.49 can make your meal a bit pricey. If you're looking for a change of pace from the Peruvian chicken places in the area, though, this is the place to be. read more

Peri Peri Bistro - Our chicken tenders bowls with yuca fries and falafel on the side came on a huge platter. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is the best chicken I have ever had. We ordered the party for 4 with Falafel, yuka fries, Saffron rice, potato salad and tri colored potato fries. All the food was packed in compostable containers. The restaurant was very clean and the staff welcoming. All the side items were taste. The chicken was delicious. If you are in Raleigh, I highly recommend it. This is not rotisserie chicken with tons of sodium like Alpaca chicken. This is grilled chicken with light seasoning. They have a few selection of dipping sauce to eat with the chicken. Try it, you will not regret it. read more

I tried FF Chicken twice this weekend taking advantage of their Grand Opening specials. I tried the Tender Bowl with Tango on Saffron Rice with White Garlic dip on Saturday. The portion of chicken was quite good, but I couldn't taste the mango, which is unfortunate because I LOVE mango and it sounded yummy. On Sunday, I ordered the Wing Bowl with Hello Yellow (Lemon Garlic) on Saffron Rice with Chooks dip; when I opened my to go order, I discovered they had actually given me the breast and wing bowl (which was actually a better option for me). The breast and wing combo was ok/good, but I still didn't taste the sauce (LOVE me some garlic). Chooks sauce is a bit zingier/spicier, but I prefer the White Garlic. The food to me is OK/good. I just wish I got more of the sauce flavor as that would have really made it better for me. Both days, I cut up the chicken and dumped the dip on top and mixed the bowl up, so I guess the dip is overpowering the sauce. I would encourage the team to be trained on the options as the Sunday order person didn't let me choose my dip (although it was the one I planned to try). I will likely go back and get the tender bowl at least one more time (as I have a BOGO to use) and try the sauces again. I may ask them how to get more taste/flavor from the sauces as I think that is an appealing part of the offering. read more

My boyfriend & I stopped in for a late night meal/snack. I grabbed a sweet treat elsewhere but my bf got the lamb chops bowl. It was delicious (of course I stole a bite). The customer service is also great because we waited for a little while (we didn't mind) and the kind person working gave us some free wings for the wait that were also delicious. The lamb was the best meat I've ever had! Worth the price. Beware of spice level though, don't go too high on the spice scale read more

The customer service was good. The cashier was helpful. You can also order from a kiosk thing. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with lemon flavor and it was seasoned well. I also got the 5 wings and they were good but really small. The chicken was similar to Nando's chicken. The cauliflower bites were my absolute favorite. They were seasoned so perfectly and it was a good portion. I also got the corn and that was ok; it didn't stand out. I received the food less then 10 minutes after I ordered. read more

I ordered the half chicken from here, the chicken was fine, it had good flavor like any Peruvian chicken wood. My issue with it is that it cost $17 and didn't even come with a side! Their pricing is ridiculous, even if the chicken was the best I've ever had, which it's not, I still wouldn't pay $17 for it! read more

After the movie, I needed a little snack since I didn't eat dinner. I saw FF Chicken when I parked and was curious about the food. I learned it's only been there 4 months, and the food is African in nature. I decided on a chicken wrap with the Tongue Sizzler sauce in a spinach wrap. It had freaking flavor and good spice. I got both the white garlic sauce and their special sauce. I liked both, but liked the special sauce best... it had a slight tang and a kick to it. All the chicken dishes are grilled. The cashier was super nice and explained the menu and how it all works. Glad I dropped in. I think I will most likely try a protein bowl eventually. read more

Very clean and inviting establishment. Service was quick and staff was nice. However, food was terrible. My boyfriend and I got wing bowls. I asked for brown rice, but received saffron.

Peri Peri Bistro - Dining room - Chicken Shop Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is a new restaurant, So far I've been here twice. Colorful interior, pretty interesting. We ordered a whole chicken, while ordering you're asked to choose from the flavors in their display card, i went for the "HOT SHOT", the spiciest one is called "TONGUE SIZZLER" which i chose to skip both the times. The "Hot Shot" was pretty spicy, this coming from a South Asian!!! Given that, I'm pretty sure I'm still going to try the Tongue Sizzler sometime in the future. Their fries were really fresh and flavorful! On my first trip to FF Chicken, we tried Chicken Pita which i wasn't a fan of it - it kept falling apart but i ended up trying the chicken wrap today which was pretty good, definitely something I'll get again! So far my favorite is the Chicken - somewhat Peri Peri style, they also have chicken bowls with rice and veggies, also, the orange dip is better than the white! They are gradually adding more items to their menu, so far they have limited items, i would like to see some more items added to the kids menu as well, my daughter wasn't a fan of the tenders which i ordered off the kids menu. That being said, i will definitely be going here again! The best part - It's HALAL! read more

Stopped in to grab a mid-week dinner. Unfortunately, will not be going back. For all the same reasons that another one star review gave- along with a few others. 1. Very confusing menu 2. Doesn't know what it is? Is it chicken place (hence the big hen graphic) or leaning into Indian style chicken??? 3. Service was horrific - rude + unhelpful 4. Clean but disheveled in the front of house- can only imagine whats happening in the kitchen. 5. $30.00 for a rice bowl and a handful of tenders- no sides or drinks. Step up FF and get it right, otherwise there are a lot of other restaurants to try in Raliegh! read more

I went to FF chicken last night for dinner. It was really yummy food with flavorful and very moist chicken. I order tender chicken rice bowl with chicken and ordered cauliflower bytes and yuca fries and street corn as dessert. This was the first time I had Yuca fries and it was spicy and delicious. Got the red garlic sauce Cauliflower spicy fries were very different and had great flavor to it. We also had multiple desserts including fried cheese cake , chocolate mousse cake and crumble cake All were very delicious. Definitely will be going back to try other sauces. read more

I got try this new spot in Brier Creek tonight. They just opened a few days ago, but it seems like they have a lot of potential! They offer Peri Peri chicken with a variety of sauces. I tried the FF Chicken Rice Bowl and really enjoyed the Tango sauce (wasn't too spicy and had a slight mango flavor). I thought the chicken was well cooked, and I loved how light and healthy the bowl felt. The bowl also came with a creamy sauce on the side, which was great on the rice (and also helped cut the spice on some of the hotter sauces). As an added bonus the owners were very nice and even offered us a sample of a corn side to try out. The sauce was creamy, spicy and very delicious! The atmosphere was also nice inside, clean with colorful murals. They are newly opened (and still making adjustments in some ways), but this seems like it might be a promising more local and non chain spot for healthier food in Brier Creek. read more

We decided to try something new out instead of the regular jaunts in the Brier Creek area. Big mistake. Not only was the menu so big and not very clear how we should order things (way too many choices create buyer confusion), but they were sorely understaffed for the day/time (Sat early dinner). The same guy who was at the counter taking orders, was also bringing the orders to the tables, and answering the phone taking orders. The couple in front of us were just as confused and waited such a long time to finally order. Once they got all their questions answered, we were next. The phone was ringing, and the guy stopped to answer it. We waited NO LESS THAN 10 minutes while we were right in front of him waiting to order. Once he got off the phone, he had no smile (frankly, he seemed miserable) and was very dry. It almost seemed he was annoyed we had a question about the menu ourselves. We found a table (none were clean) and my husband went to get us some water. The machine was a joke. It was supposed tobe high-tech, but it was NOT intuitive at all. You practically had to jump through several hoops just to get water. It LOOKED like a regular soda achine, but I assure you it was NOT. They apparently had many others have similar issues with it, bc they had a makeshift paper explaining what to do in order to get ice and water. We waited for 15-20 minutes for our food to be delivered to us. The ONLY two things that were decent was I liked the chargrilled flavor since the chicken is apparently grilled on an open flame. I also liked the saffron rice. However, the lemon flavor I chose for the chicken had an odd plastic-like aftertaste. My husband chose the southern cajun seasoning for his chicken. It wasnt bad, he said, but it definitely lacked something. For what we got, two chicken bowls and one side of Yuca fries to share (whih even then we didn't get the correct fries, they gave us sizzlin fries and we didn't want to ask to correct it bc they were so slow and the line was to the door at this point), it was way overpriced at $47!!!! (We even watched three different parties leave bc the wait was so long!) Everything was underwhelming and overpriced with terrible customer service, to say the least. Will we return? No way. read more

It was my first time visiting FF chicken so deciding on what to get was tough. The place inside was clean and the decor was cute.

The wrap was good though and plentiful. Didn't take a picture of it wasn't really picture worthy lol. read more

The restaurant felt clean and well kept but could use some better furnishings and decor. It felt like it would fit better in a smaller spot.

First time at FF Chicken. The cashier was super helpful after he asked if we'd been there before and went over the whole menu with us. I ordered the Chook Tender bowl. The bowls come with your choice of either white or yellow rice, a protein with your choice of sauce, simple green salad and a dipping sauce -- either white garlic or their signature sauce. I ordered yellow rice, the jerk sauce and the signature dipping sauce. Although this is a counter service place their dishes are served on real plates with real silverware which I liked. The decor was nice. The walls were bright and inviting and the floor was some sort of beautiful poured concrete with swirls of color in it. The portion sizes were good, and the jerk sauce had a nice smoky flavor but the bowl was just lacking something. It was kind of plain and dry -- needed a flavorful veggie or beans added to it. I guess you could dump the dipping sauce all over it (they actually gave me both) but the first was similar to ranch dressing and they both appeared mayo based. I would have liked more jerk sauce. read more
