Inside the establishment
Aurelia A.

This was yet another wonderful experience from the time we walked in to the wait time on the food and the young lady Jasmine at counter was exceptionally helpful being it was our first time here she took the time to explain the sauces and even allowed us to try a couple of them so we can decide. I decided on the quarter chicken with the hot peri peri sauce, rice and corn on the cob. The Mr got the quarter chicken herbal and garlic with coleslaw and rice and all of it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The place is pretty spacious so it doesn't feel like your sitting on top of each other. We definitely will be back

Our first time here. We were a little overwhelmed with all the options in the vicinity but decided on Peri Peri Chicken and let me say I am SO glad we did! Upon entering the establishment we noticed it was nice and clean, spacious with plenty of seating. We were greeted by Jasmine and she was very nice and patient with us and our questions. She offered tastings of their sauces and was extremely helpful and friendly. Now the food.. AMAZING !!!! The chicken was perfectly flamed grilled with the perfect amount of charged and so moist and juicy. I got the lemon and herb and my wife got the hot and both were delicious. They also have bottles of the sauces available to bring to your table so I put the hot on my garlic and herb and it was SO bomb.. will definitely stop in when in the area again.

Decent food and price. Lots of sauces that is very good to try and the spiciness really hit the spot for me. I ordered the special for the day which had some sides.

Very good and on top was Halal. Ordered 1 complete with 2 side orders and Hummus which was bit different what u normally get at a Mediterranean resturant however tasted good with hot bread. Parking can be an issue as one can experience lot of cars on Friday / Saturday nights.

Mediterranean salad with 3 Chicken tenders (sauce on side)

We were in the area and needed dinner, so we stopped by this plaza knowing that there were many food options available. Seeing quite a few customers inside the Peri Peri, we decided to try. I ordered a Mediterranean salad with peri peri chicken (with lemon and herbs sauce), my husband got the chicken wrap, and we ordered a kids chicken (plain) bowl for my son. The store worker said that the chicken bowl is their most popular item. Food arrived fairly quickly, and I really liked that all the available sauces were self-serve and you can just grab whatever sauce you liked. They do put the sauce you requested on your chicken before serving it to you though. Chicken tenders were well seasoned and not overly salty. It was also juicy considering that they were tenders (easy to over cook). My favorite part was that all the chicken had a nice charcoal flavor, and the outside of chicken wasn't burnt to death. Yum! Salad was fresh and my husband loved his wrap. Their rice (in the rice bowl) was also fragrant and well seasoned with spices. We all enjoyed it very much. There's also quite a few levels of spicy sauces, including the inferno sauce, which is their spiciest level. if you are a spicy lover, this place definitely has you covered! My only complaint about this place is that the rice tasted like it was reheated and not freshly made. Considering how fast the food came out, that really isn't a surprise. Nevertheless I still enjoyed our meal a lot and would come back. I got to chat with one of the workers after dinner, and she told me that the chicken is Portuguese inspired, while the sauces were African inspired. What an interesting combination of cultures! Definitely come check out this place if you're in the area!

Lemon herb chicken

Peri Peri was merely satisfactory. I wasn't particularly fond of my meal, which consisted of lemon herb chicken and a side of fries. While the meat had a grilled flavor, it was an unusual taste that didn't appeal to me. I can't say I'll be coming back to this average chicken spot.

Recently went back to Peri Peri Factory for their Peri Peri Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich. So good and you must have the Peri Peri Fries. Goes great with their Garlic and Hot Sauces!!!

Ordered: 1/4 Peri Peri Chicken with 2 sides Verdict: The service was quite reliable even at early dinner time. The peri peri chicken is legit as I'm used to Nandos except for the smaller portion

Whole chicken , peri rice and peri fries  ( lemon and herb ) dont mind our sauce selection
Dora P.

Food is Delicious & Fresh, fast service , Katherine greeted us and made sure we were satisfied. Clean and relaxed ambiance . Don't mind driving 45 to an hour away to visit this place .

Quick service. The portions were really big and the e wings were huge. Inferno flavor was actually a little spicy! The rice and chicken was a bit dry but still had great flavor.

Mango Lime wings with Garlic Sauce
Nick R.

I live across the street and this was my first visit. I will be visiting again. Kids ordered 18 mild wings with sides, I ordered a four piece wings with mango lime sauce. The wings were really fantastic, more tender than most. And the sauces were fantastic. The mild was bright with hints of tart and sweet and the mango lime wings were even better. The garlic sauce was okay but tasted strongly similar to ranch. Kids really enjoyed it and I was pleased as well.

Whole chicken

Updating review based on most recent visit. Since there are no peri peri restaurants in Austin, I literally make trips down to Houston just for this. I took one star away due to consistent issues when placing orders (sides end up not being brought to our table, and last time I had to convince the cashier that we had paid for the sides we never received). Customer service is a bit lacking, but the flavor is great!

Chicken Rice Bowl with inferno sauce, Peri Peri Fries
Vicki L.

I've never had Peri Peri chicken before but after I tried the Peri Peri Factory, it quickly became one of my favorite foods. My favorite dish to get is the boneless chicken rice bowl with inferno sauce and the peri peri fries. The rice bowl portion is huge and I usually have to take my leftovers home. They have extra bottles of all the sauces that you can take to your table and I always grab a bottle of the inferno and garlic sauces to douse over my rice and chicken. The peri peri fries are so crispy and a must-try imo. If you are a spicy food lover the inferno sauce is also a must-try! It's my go-to and even though it's spicy, it is packed with flavor. My experience with the service here has consistently been great and my food always comes out quickly. This is definitely one of my fave restaurants in Houston, I just wish they had more locations!

Peri peri is your chicken really Zabiha halal? I would think if it was it would be advertised somewhere in the restaurant. I have sent an inquiry to the contact us link within the site, awaiting a response anxiously.

Yes We confirm that our chicken that we serve our customers are 100% Handcut Zabiha Halal and it is posted behind the counter.

This this like Nando's?

Yes and even it has more option for sauces like mango, lemon, garlic and all of which are delicious.

Are there any vegetarian options? Didnt look like any main entree vegetarian options from the menu. Thanks!

Unfortunately, i dont think so there is a vegetarian main entree.

Nando's Peri Peri is located in the same upscale shopping center as Kenny & Ziggy's Delicatessen…read moreand is easy to find. It has an attractive outside and covered patio dining area along with an equally attractive interior space with nice music playing in the background. It is a counter service restaurant that lets you order from your table using a QR code along with ordering at the counter if you wish. I ordered the 1/2 chicken meal and picked the lemon and herb spice flavoring. They offer 5 levels of heat if you want to burn. I don't. The meal I asked for came with one side dish and I chose the fries for $16.49. For another $2.50, I could have ordered another side dish. With a peach flavored ice tea and tax my bill was a little over $21. I used the QR code and ordered from the table which was convenient, A manager came to my table shortly after ordering to say that my chicken was going to be about 15 minutes before being ready and offered to substitute other pieces for it which I declined and said I could wait. It was nice of her to do that and showed good customer service. While I waited, I went to the self serve drink station to get my delicious peach tea and noticed they offer several sauces in self serve bottles that you can use to enhance your protein. Nice touch! The meal was actually delivered just 10 minutes later. The bird was juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed it. The fries were hot and delicious too. Yes, I was happy with this meal. Nando's impressed me. Good food, friendly customer service, reasonable prices all in a nice atmosphere. I look forward to my next visit.

Tried The Port of Peri Peri tonight and it definitely lived up to the hype. I ordered the "All For…read moreOne" with lemon & herb (milder side), plus the cassava fries and hummus -- everything was on point. The chicken was super juicy and flavorful without being overpowering, and the lemon & herb seasoning had a really nice balance -- not spicy, but still packed with flavor. The port rice was also really good and paired perfectly with the chicken. The standout for me was actually the cassava fries -- crispy, well-seasoned, and something a little different from your usual fries. The hummus was fresh and a solid side to round everything out. Service was quick, and the whole pickup process was smooth. Overall, great food, good portions, and a nice change from typical fast casual spots. Definitely coming back to try hotter spice levels next time.

They do not offer table service so expect to order at the counter then find your table. The portions of chicken are small so consider ordering platters or order half sizes instead of quarters. The sauces can be very spicy so carefully decided on your personal spice level when ordering. My sides were spicy rice and cole slaw and I loved them both. The environment is very inviting and well lit with comfortably spaced tables. My visit was during lunch and there was no crowd. Without hesitation, I'd visit again.

I've been visiting this Houston staple for over 25yrs for sure back when I first moved to Houston and worked down the street on Richmond/Beltway. You can't go wrong with the lunch special....1/4 chicken with 3 full size sides. I always go for the rice/bean mix, boiled red potatoes, & the chicken soup. All for $9.99. The staff is always pleasant and very professional. Don sleep on this Latin Gem, on Richmond in a strip center not too far from Gessner.

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

When I lived there I didn't know…read moreabout Frenchy's and never realized there was this delicious fried chicken just steps away from my doorstep! I came on a Friday night and there was a long line. When I looked upfront, I realized why. There were only two people working there. But they were holding it down!! They were working hard to get everyone's order. I got the two piece dark. It took a little while, but it was worth it! Even though I ordered two, they gave me three - maybe because they were closing soon. The chicken was so hot and crispy and juicy!! And omg the hot-sauce! It was really good on the chicken. Also it comes with a jalapeño which I drizzled over the chicken. I also had greens and a roll to top it off. Delicious! Can't wait to go back :)

I'm not gonna hold back on this review, this is probably the worst Frenchy's I've ever been to. I…read morebeen inside the restaurant 3-4 times and ordered through DoorDash about 2-3 times. To be honest the service is slow and at times they're rude and don't wanna do their job. One of the only positive things I can say is that even though the service is slow, the food comes out hot & fresh. I would hope so since they're not busy. My to go orders are usually the 3 piece campus with either mash potatoes, red beans and rice, collard greens & dirty rice. Or I'll get their 3 piece catfish. Sometimes I'll get the dessert (peach cobbler & sweet potato pie). While the chicken comes out hot & fresh. There is zero seasoning on the chicken itself. Not even a pinch of salt. They rely on the batter for flavor. Don't get me wrong the batter is salty & delicious for my palate but the chicken is so bland. Collard greens are uninspiring & boring but edible. Mash potatoes taste just fine but their gravy adds a layer of flavor. Red beans and rice once again, flavorless & they always give you one measly piece of sausage. Their dirty rice is a little dry but not bad. Now for the catfish I actually enjoy it. The batter is the same as their chicken & the fish itself is moist and juicy. The desserts feel like it's store bought and not made in house but it's bearable. Overall, this location ain't it. It's located next to a gas station & the area itself isn't safe. The inside of the restaurant isn't clean either. Lazy & rude employees don't make it any better. If you want some good Frenchy's go to the one on 3rd ward. I would frequently go there but that's no where close to my house so I have to settle for this location. I hope they make improvements before they shut down.
