Peri Peri Original

Peri Peri Original on Narborough Road specialises in Portuguese-style flame-grilled peri-peri chicken marinated for 24 hours before cooking. The bird comes in four heat levels — lemon and herb, mild, hot, and extra hot — allowing each order to be calibrated to taste. The halal kitchen also produces burgers, wraps, and peri-salt wedges alongside the chicken. Narborough Road's status as one of the UK's most diverse food streets makes it an ideal home for a concept that draws on Portuguese-African cooking traditions, and Peri Peri Original has built a following among the Westcotes and surrounding community.
