Our PERi-PERi sauce is made with African Bird's eye Chilli and a blend of ingredients-onion, sun-ripened lemons, garlic and spices.

Garlic is many things, but it isn't subtle. Just like this sauce, a blend of PERi-PERi with its sweet waves of garlicky goodness. If you're on a first date, pour this on both of your plates. You'll thank us later.
Bottle Sauce Medium
This is our gateway sauce: a good dollop of PERi-PERi with spices. For a while, it will be enough. But soon you'll want them all. Just go with it.

Just tried for the first time and will definitely be back. The folks at the counter were very friendly, food was ready quickly, and the chicken was delicious. Fall off the bone tender and the sauce was very tasty. Only tiny knock is the X hot was not very hot, not sure if there was a mix up or not but ultimately a non factor. Good food at good price.

Great food and decent service. 2 of our dishes we ordered we had to substitute for something else because they were out of coleslaw to put on the chicken sandwhich. They should have realized this before we paid for our order and they didn't offer a price adjustment considering the substitution was a few bucks cheaper. Overall, the staff was really nice and I would eat there again.
November 2025
The food is good and reasonably priced, but the only way to ensure you get the food you actually order is to dine in. 95% of orders I've placed for pickup or delivery have had errors. Service is a 5 for dine-in, 1 for pickup/delivery
