Chicken tender bowl with corn
Briana N.

Such a convenient spot to drop by and get something quick to eat, especially if you're around the mall anyways! And the workers are so friendly and efficient. I got the chicken tender bowl with corn, and it was so good! The rice itself was already so flavorful. And the corn was grilled so nicely. The chicken had a good amount of spice on it, but was a little too dry for my liking.

Second time coming here! We enjoyed the skewered paneers with yellow rice! Burger was also delicious as well! Love to be back again! Cheers

Grilled Peri Peri hot sauce wings
Cory J.

These are some of the best damn wings you can get in the Austin metro - I'll stand on that even not having tried every wing place. I have quickly grown to love PPR after nearly two years of deferring it on my list of restaurants to try, so hopefully this review convinces you not to do the same. I will happily fanboy, as I tend to do, over a restaurant that excels in a simple menu. So here we go... This place is a sleeper hit in a sleepy mall - but sleep not, fellow yelp folks, for Peri Peri Republic's *grilled* hot sauce wings (the only place I know of around here that does grilled wings) are tied for me with Cover 2's buffalo wings for the best wings I've had in the Austin metro area. Further, the quality of their chicken is great - it's consistently fresh-tasting and the meat doesn't taste like it's been ravaged by chemicals (Costco's $5 rotisserie chicken, anyone?). But seriously, there's only really high quality chicken here (iykyk). Whenever I see how much Pluckers is poppin', I think if folks knew how good the wings are here it'd be poppin' too. Plus $30 for 24 quality wings is one hell of a DEAL; it's $35 for 20 subpar wings at Pluckers! Make sure to get their Peri rice for the perfect side. Their Peri Peri hot sauce is truly one of the best hot sauces I've ever had. You've got an idea of what to expect if you've had Nando's, but ohhh it's even better than that. That wonderful blend of spicy heat from the peri-peri pepper, a touch of acidity, and salty umami flavors is deliciously addictive. Their other sauces are good but nothing shines quite like their original hot sauce. And on that note, the garlic sauce they give you on the side pairs incredibly well with their original hot sauce. In a span of a month since coming my first time, I went here 5 times. This is now one of my weekly staples. A few weeks ago, their restaurant was closed with a notice indicating a rent dispute with the mall owners, which legit made me sad. I am happy to report they are open again as of 4/27 after speaking with the owner, Ash, who has done an incredible job making consistently amazing food in a tough location. They are located right at the entrance to Lakeline Mall next to the AMC, so you don't even have to go into the mall to get to the food court. Support these folks and their wonderful food! On paper, their menu may look like nothing special, but I assure you that a few bites will quickly change that perspective, much as it did for me. Go get you some grilled wings and tell me I'm wrong, but I bet I won't be hearing nothing from y'all because you'll be too busy eating Peri Peri Republic.

Hot N Crispy Burger, 1 Side, 1 Soda BBQ Sizzler
Javier S.

The food was phenomenal! I didn't believe I would taste a chunky hot N crispy burger like this one! The takeout service was very quick and fast. I took our dinner out to the pool area, where this meal was well placed listening to the kids play in the water. Ordering the same thing again and gain!

Love the peaceful side of the Lakeline Mall. There lies this gem. I was skeptical at first as how authentic Peri Peri in Austin can get. Well, I celebrated a bday of work daughter who is Muslim and Halal is the way to go. Love that the lady on the counter knows each dish by heart and able to explain the ingredients of each item. The wings were yummy with combined garlic sauce and peri sauce. We had mango lassi for drink---yummy. We had loaded chicken and half platter lemon (I'm weak on spicy!) and food's great my friend took home some because it did not disappoint! Y'all should try it! It's conveniently across from AmC theater. Plenty parking!

Lunch special

We have come here twice now and the food is amazing! We have tried something different each time and have been excited with all of it.

Mango shot

This place has been on my radar for a little while, so I decided to give it a try, because why not? Prior to coming here, I was familiar with the Peri-Peri flavor, but only as it relates to this flavor profile on prawns. Pil-Pil, Pili-Pili, Piri-Piri, or Peri-Peri, is Africa's most famous flavor. One of the keys to that Mozambican Peri-Peri flavor is sun baked fermented African Birdseye chilies, and as such, I was looking for this distinct flavor when I came across this place. When I arrived at the entry of the establishment, I was greeted by an employee and provided with a sample of the chicken and was advised the food was Portuguese in origin. Yes, while this may be true, it is actually a South African staple and it's the Mozambique Portuguese who introduced it into the country, so if you're visiting South Africa and want the best Peri-Peri experience it's the Portuguese restaurants to look for. Now, for the meal, I ordered the following: Chicken tender lunch combo with rice and potato salad. The chicken for this dish was grilled, and the Peri-Peri sauce I elected to use for my order had slight heat with notes of mango and garlic. There's a lot more going on than just heat. The spicy rice was flavorful and complimented the chicken entree well. Loaded Fries The fries were covered in Peri-Peri seasoning topped with shredded chicken, peri garlic, and Peri Mozambique sauce. The fries marinated their crispness while covered with Peri sauce, which was a welcomed surprise. The chicken for this dish, like the lunch combo, was grilled. Mango Pudding Shot I've never had a mango pudding shot such as this one. I was introduced to mango pudding shots in Hong Kong at Yum cha. However, these were different from what I am accustomed to. These mango shots here were light, refreshing, sweet, and topped with green and red canned fruit. *This place also serves Mojitos! I didn't try one but am jazzed to know they offer them. Total for these menu items $27.56

Loaded fries and classic burger!

They always taste amazing and I love the flavor of the grilled chicken. We drive from Buda!

Family Chicken Platter
Shayer S.

I've been craving peri peri chicken ever since my visit to Maputo, Mozambique a few years ago. So, I was thrilled to discover a spot in Austin after Tio Pepe closed down. The ambiance upon entering was delightful--beautifully decorated with an open layout. It's hard to believe this gem is tucked away in a mall. The staff graciously allowed us to sample all the sauces, helping us determine our preferences. I've visited twice and both times opted for the Family Chicken platter, which includes a whole chicken with two sides. We tried the Spicy Peri Rice, Fries, and creamed corn--all of which were satisfying. In terms of sauces, we've tried the Peri Inferno Sauce, Peri Mild Sauce, Peri Mango Chilli, and Peri Lemon & Herb. Personally, the Mango Chili stood out as my favorite, closely followed by the mild. Inferno and Lemon & Herb were acceptable. The trick is to mix the sauces; for example, add Mozambique and hot sauces into the rice for a flavor explosion! Now, let's talk about the chicken. Although the grilled chicken tasted good, it lacked the authentic peri peri flavor, deviating from the Peri Peri I experienced in Mozambique. It seems fair to categorize it as a desi-Portuguese fusion. Nonetheless, it was tasty, and the overall food quality was impressive. . Everything is also Halal so a good spot for those with that dietery restriction. They also have a decently priced lunch deal during the weekdays. I do feel the mall location might prove to be a liability for this restaurant. I hope I am wrong! Will continue to visit and try out other items.

Super cool, relaxing interior with a colorful mural
Sirio B.

Was at Lakeline Mall recently and noticed a new restaurant had opened up next to AMC and we decided to check it out. Have mostly heard about Peri Peri chicken from friends overseas and wanted to see what the fuss was about as they usually rave about it. (If you're familiar with Nando's and such) The interior is super modern and cozy, with warm lighting and a nice open concept. At the counter we were greeted by a friendly fellow who introduced us to the concept and did a sauce tasting (they have a ton!) The menu is pretty big but we opted for the classic, chicken thighs with medium Peri sauce and sides. We opted for waffle fries, coleslaw and spicy rice. They had a ton of options for sides, with 4 different types of fries, vegetables and more. The Peri sauce can be described as tangy, spicy and sweet at the same time. And it complimented the chicken perfectly. The waffle fries were excellent, and we paired those with the smoky Mozambique sauce. Overall was pleasantly surprised at how good this was, and the prices were quite reasonable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try this type of Peri peri style chicken out. It's bold and loved the grilled taste. Check it out.

Sauce taste test!
Brian C.

No offense to the other guys, but this is not a food court stall! It's a really amazing chicken restaurant, that is beautifully decorated, and staffed by friendly and kind folks, that just happens to be right across from the movie theatre in the mall. I knew we were in for a treat when the cashier offered us a taste test of all their sauces, and told us the story of Peri Peri. My (Haitian) son went for the mango chili and I chose the barbecue. All of them were tasty. We each got a leg/thigh and split a side of the peri rice. That was already destined to be delicious, but then the cashier brought over bottles of garlic (white) and Mozambique (brown) sauce. Instant upgrade! We both devoured our food with great delight. I can't tell you how excited I am that this is in our backyard. They also have some fun drinks and desserts. We skipped today since we'd just been going hard on soda and candy in a movie, but next time... If you like grilled chicken and would appreciate an opportunity to try a Portuguese by way of Mozambique take on it, you should come check it out. It's worth a trip to the mall, just for this!

Whole Chicken
Sam K.

Peri Peri chicken has been my obsession for the past few years, and unfortunately have had to travel to Houston as of late for my fix since Austin was totally devoid of options after Tio Pepe closed. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Saturday evening surprisingly, but we were able to get our food fairly quickly. I ordered the whole chicken with two sides (spicy rice and fries) to share with my brother to go. The prices are comparable to most of the top Peri Peri restaurants, and the flavor profiles of the sauces nearly the same. Starting with the star of the show, the chicken. I was a tad bit disappointed to find out when we arrived home to eat that it was completely drenched in the lemon and herb sauce we had ordered . I like the chargrilled flavor and grill marks that Peri Peri restaurants give to their chicken and the amount of sauce that drenched its skin took away from that flavor. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the texture (again, from being overwhelmed by the sauce). The sides were pretty good. The spicy rice had a good amount of flavor (but in my opinion wasn't spicy enough) . I prefer the basmati rice version this restaurant uses over what is used at Nandos. The fries were crinkle cut, so while not my favorite cut, they were seasoned fairly well albeit not crispy by the time we got home to eat. Had we sat and ate at the restaurant, there were plenty of dining tables to eat and a fairly large space available. This restaurant also has some Indian desert favorites like Gulab Jamun and Mango Lassi. We tried the latter while we waited for our order and it was delicious. Was this the best Peri Peri chicken I've had? Definitely not. I would give the Port of Peri Peri and Peri Peri Factory (both in Houston) the leg up over this both flavor wise, aesthetically as well as their diversity in sides. But having a Peri Peri spot in Austin is priceless. I will be back!

OK, so my husband and I decided to take the plunge and try this place. We really weren't sure what to expect considering it's inside the mall. But it had good reviews so we thought why not. When we got there, the seating area is actually quite nice! You walk up to the front counter and order what you would like. This was our first time, and we told the person at the register this. I am not sure if he is half owner, or just really loves his job, but he was incredibly lovely and helpful the entire time we were there. His name is Pradeep (unsure if i spelled that right) but he says he also goes by Peter. Anyway, they have a bunch of different sauces that you can choose from to put on top of your entrée. The entrée that I ordered was falafel on a bed of rice, and my husband did the same except he did grilled chicken instead. We also ordered, the paneer sticks. We had never tried any of the sauces, so Peter gave us a spoon and let us try each and everyone until we decided on the ones we liked. How very nice of him! Our entrées actually came out first, they were piping hot. But soon followed, came the paneer sticks. The paneer sticks were OK, but some of it was cold and some was warm. If they were a bit hotter, I think I would've enjoyed them a bit more. Our entrées were magnificent! I was so full, that I could not even finish my entire plate. I also ordered a mango lassi on the side, and that was so creamy and delicious. After I was done with that, I asked my husband if go get me a cup of water from the front. I'm not sure if you can just get cups of water, but Peter gave us a bottled water instead, free of charge. Peter was constantly checking up on us to see how the food came out and if we liked it. Even though this was just a walk up to the counter and order your food situation, Peter went above and beyond in terms of making sure we were happy and satisfied. When we asked for some boxes to go, Peter actually thanked us for coming in and also said he would be giving us a dessert, on the house. I forget the name but it was little round balls soaked in a juice. So good! Service, and food were all A+. We'll definitely return in the future!

From Chicago, first time at PT's today. Here are some thoughts:…read more -Has a 50's diner decor. Feels like a fast food place. You order at the counter and they call your number.

The special sauce with mayo, pickles, and ketchup? Yes! -But the fries are the real secret. You get a big bag of fries. They are fresh cut, but not greasy. Delicious! Highly recommended!!

I opted to have the single burger with cheese, fries, and an iced tea. I went through the drive-through which are two lanes, and stopped at the window. You have to be careful because the outside drive-through lane they have people walking back-and-forth delivering food. In the lane closest to the building when you get to the window, you get blaring music. That was my only complaint. I'm not gonna say they're fast food because all three times I went. I had to wait for my food. But it did come out hot. The burgers are pretty much OK they're not the greatest but the real meat the cheese is always melted and the vegetables are fresh. Now the fries I noticed people complaining on reviews saying they're burnt. I absolutely loved mine. They were perfect. The best part is when you reheat them in the oven they get really crispy, which are my favorite. The pricing is extremely reasonable. I think the combo that I got was like eight dollars for a cheeseburger fries and a drink. I have come back here more times than I expected so I had to give them the four star rating

So while the concept is great, Cali style burritos (known for having fries)- the execution has been disastrous. If you're charging top dollar ($15 for a burrito) the product better be perfect. The first time I ordered my burrito it arrived cold and soggy. Figured it might be a fluke so I gave it another try, ordering a norcal and so cal burrito (main difference being due to having hot cheetos). I ordered one with carne asada, the other with chicken. 2 burritos plus delivery and tip? $40. Here's what they got wrong: -Due to an allergy to an ingredient in hot cheetos I asked for my socal without. It came stuffed with them. I literally couldn't eat it, but enjoy the nice picture. You know food allergies can kill someone? - Both burritos came without guacamole or sour cream. Major ingredients in any burrito. - They ran out of Carne asada and had the delivery driver call me to say they only have chicken. So hey, they charge premium and didn't even bother informing me half their ingredients were missing. And then screwed up the only exemption I had, ruining one burrito completely. So they get the rating they deserve unfortunately. Two tries, 3 strikes as far as I'm concerned. Spend your money elsewhere, for the price they charge you can easily get much better. Avoid.
