Piri Fino

Part of the wave of flame-grilled chicken specialists that have taken off across south Birmingham, this Hall Green takeaway focuses on peri peri done properly — marinated, grilled to order and finished with sauces ranging from mild and lemony to seriously hot. The menu runs well beyond the birds, too, with loaded fries, pittas, wraps and burgers, plus genuine meat-free options like a Halloumi Wrap and a Veggie Burger that make it easy for mixed groups to order together. The whole operation is halal, which has helped it become a firm favourite locally.

It earns a 4/5 rating from well over 150 reviews and carries a top Food Hygiene Rating of 5, so you can order with confidence. Regulars praise the generous portions, the crispy peri-seasoned chips and the well-spiced wings, and the kitchen leans towards fresh, made-to-order cooking rather than anything sitting under a heat lamp. For a quick, flavour-packed chicken fix in this corner of the city, it is one of the stronger options around.
