Merigo Piri Piri (Kings Heath)

Tucked into the buzzing heart of Kings Heath, Merigo Piri Piri brings flame-grilled, Portuguese-style chicken to one of south Birmingham's liveliest neighbourhoods. Part of a growing local group with branches across the city, this spot opened in 2025 and quickly became a go-to for marinated, spice-rubbed chicken cooked to your chosen heat. Expect butterflied birds, loaded wraps, paninis and generous sharing platters, all built around the same smoky peri-peri kick.

It is a relaxed, order-and-go kind of place, well suited to a quick lunch, a family feast or a late-evening craving. Alongside the signature Butterfly Chicken there are burgers, rice boxes and plenty of sides to round things out, with options to dial the spice up or keep things mild for younger diners. The kitchen holds a current Food Hygiene Rating from the local council, and the friendly, speedy service makes it an easy choice when you want something fresh and filling without the wait.
