3 /5 Timur: Update 4
Live local so gotta try it once in a year at least. See of there are improvements.
Wings on offer right now are £2 for 5 fried chicken wings.
Good seaosning , all drums instead of flats, decent price for the size but what lets it down is the breading isnt thick enough and. Provides no satisfying crunch. They are pressure fried so definitely something they could easily do but perhaps as the current price point they just cant afford it.
Just this one product bringa them slightly up to a 3/5 stars still some way to go but the price point and the flavour cant really compete with. Ill get more data points this month ofc.
Update 3
Months later and the food is a shambolic disappointment beyond description but I will try.
I know they replied to this originally a few months ago but theyve not taken any advise from my reviews and feedback.
Its now time to do a major course correction and if not your brand will end.
The food is known on the street to be inferior to everything else on the highstreet, if i want a burger, Id go to Junglees or KFC. If i want to have grilled food Id rather just get either of the kebabish places. If I want milkshakes Id rather go to sweet or UC.
There are no stand out foods here. Youve not trained your staff to make the food taste better, you continue to use inferior ingreidents and wide menu so lots lf frozen deep freeze awful options.
I have no more words for you Boss periperi. I just hope the next place to take over your location does a better job. Or better yet if this was just an attempt at a cashgrab, lower your sale price of the premises and sell the property to businesses either side of you.

Update 2
Tried the peri fries, air frier fries and the double beef smash burger.
The fries this time were much better than the soggy airfryer fries but the peri salt was way too heavy handed so felt like over saturated in the seasoning. When it hurts to eat chips you know youve gone wrong.
The double smash burger had a massive onion in it raw and gherkins ends that looked a bit sad. The Patties themselves needed some major seasoning and the burger meat didnt taste great either. I feel like the fat content was too low so the burgers had a meatloaf quality to them. They al do didnt taste the well grilled so I feel like there was a strange over moisture almost boiling quality to the meat.
The airfyer chips were super soggy and needed to be much larger portion considering they were nearly 2-3 pounds. The flavouring was good so thats the saving grace but not really. Id struggle to suggest how to improve this product as it really isnt something that should be sold as is.
The smash burger and chips have some major improvements needed.

Had a quick bite with the little one. Tried the mild mango strip but was too spicy for the 2 year old. I think just need a plain flavour next time for them.
Also had the strip burger with the same sauce and she didnt struggle. The bun was nicely steamed and toasted very soft and easy for the little one to chew. And she ate most of it for dinner.
Its great addition to the street having a new grilled spot instead of a fried food was a good idea!
Ill post updates as I sample the menu but so far so good.
Price wise I think the chicken on the bone is more value for money but its in-line with nandos which is the style they are doing here.
