Freshly made halal options available here. Peri peri wrap with spinach was amazing with the garlic lemon flavor. The rice bowl with mild flavor was also good. Definitely on the spicer side especially for a toddler. The fries were fire and had a hint of lemon water to it! It's safe to say, I'll be back soon.

12/10 service & food! Our favorite spot for peri peri chicken after searching for a couple years when our previously favorite place closed down. So glad to have found this gem! The parking lot is a little tough to get into when you're making a left, but otherwise, zero complaints. Our go-to is the half dark chicken in medium sauce with a side of hot sauce, spicy gyro (do not skip!!), and either a chicken wrap or the chicken wings with lemon herb and hot sauce. So much freaking flavor. The gyro is the crispiest in town. It's cooked exactly like you dream about and the spicy gives it a total boost like never before. We even whip up leftovers with eggs, mozz, and their garlic sauce. Our dinner order lasts us three separate meals each so it's a total score. They provide lots of sauce without having to ask or beg. Staff is welcoming & kind. Picking up my order, I noticed the restaurant is really clean and cared for. They seemed to get orders out quickly which is always great too. Definitely adding this spot to the monthly rotation.

I love this place! I always go to Chicago Mosque, so finding a restaurant 5 minutes away was perfect! My first time trying their food was from their falafel bowl and it was amazing! The flavor is off the charts and the spice level is perfect, especially if you're someone who enjoys spicy food. I would definitely recommend, I've already been here twice!

Tried out Flame On Peri Peri Grill and it gave solid lowkey vibes -- think casual hangout, family-friendly, and no-pressure dining. The ambiance leans warm and welcoming, perfect for a chill dinner with the fam or a laid-back catch-up with friends. It's halal (a plus), and the space is clean with everyone kind of doing their own thing -- no frills, no fuss. I ordered the Chicken Tender Rice Bowl. Flavor-wise? Decent. Not quite a firework show, but it got the job done. It's the kind of meal you appreciate more for its comfort than its creativity. Customer service is friendly but standard -- you're not getting a white-glove experience, but they're helpful and polite. Pricing? Pretty fair for what you get. Portion sizes are generous and definitely better than some other places that'll charge double for half the food. TL;DR: Solid takeout option, easy on the wallet, good for casual vibes. Don't expect gourmet -- but if you're hungry and want halal with no stress, this is a reliable go-to. Would I return? Yeah, especially for a quick meal with family or a relaxed solo bite.

First things first, this place is no short of great food! Their sauces are on point and the quality of meat is excellent. Then there's the staff: they are super friendly and always willing to help and be generous with extra sauce. I ordered the chicken tender rice bowl. It came with 4 grilled chicken tenders that were charred perfectly and then added with a lemon and herb/hot sauce. The chicken is tender and moist added with the flavors of the sauce make this a knock out of the park! The rice is soft and flavorful as well and comes with salad and tastes great with the garlic and hot sauces. I also ordered the gyros wrap as well. The gyros is fresh and cut thick to ensure you get meat in each bite. It is savory and amazing with their tzatziki sauce and peri-seasoned fries. All the meat is Zabiha-Halal certified and nothing short of amazing taste here, you need to come check them out asap!

Crypto (Double bacon cheeseburger) Cheese Fries

The Double Crypto Burger was stacked and flavorful--juicy patties, crispy bacon, fresh toppings, and a great sauce. The cheese fries were loaded and hit the spot. Big portions, good taste, and worth it if you're hungry.

This was really good! The spicy chicken sandwich was delicious. The fries were fresh and tasty. The gyro was also great. I would definitely come back especially since they are open late!

This is a nice, new family run business in a brand new strip mall. We saw they had some enticing $7.95 lunch specials and dropped in to try their chicken and veggie lunch specials. We did carryout but their airy and sunny dining space is open for normal business. Both lunches were good and flavorful and also good values. The chicken and rice were fresh and moist and I picked the mild peri spice level which had just the right amount of kick for me. Wife enjoyed the 3 paneer strips and 3 falafels in her veggie lunch. When another guy appeared and packaged the order, I noticed he looked just like the friendly guy (in white tee) that took the order and asked if they were twins and related. Ha, and that was when I learned it's a family business, and they're all related there - that's Ali, Joe, and Shaun in the photo. With a family portrait, I told them I would feature them in my Yelp review but could not guarantee their fame. Here you go, and good luck guys, and let's support our local business! Thank you!

Never thought of going over here until it popped up and we were starving. Wasn't busy at all so there was plenty of open seating. Wait was longer than expected but we realized the food was all being made fresh so the wait wasn't a problem. The taste of the food was explicit and delicious. We ordered gyros and BBQ wings. Gyros we're in more of a thin wrap which I preferred opposed to a pita and over all tasted delicious. However it was a little heavy on the onions to my liking so I plan on getting no onions next time. The wings were fresh and not greasy whatsoever. The BBQ sauce had a little spice to it but the worker warned us ahead of time, the overall taste of the sauce was amazing and I would definitely go here again for a quick meal. read more

This is some of the best damn chicken I've ever had. The chicken is cooked perfectly every time, the sauces are outstanding, and the owner is totally service oriented and takes pride in what he is giving you. This looks like a small chain restaurant from the outside, but it feels like someone's passion once you are inside. We go here regularly to get takeout, and we will continue to do so. Yum! read more

We walked in and the place was empty but the kitchen was busy. Hmm, we ordered, the wife and I, two gyros plates. After fifteen minutes standing there, I tried to cancel, they said two minutes. We waited. Am I glad we did. The food is amazing. I mean this is the best gyro plate ever. The meat was cut in big clumps, kinda hacked off, the flavor was o fentic, real meat, loosely packed and well spiced and flavorful. This isn't some freeze dried gyro roll, someone actually made this. The pita is house made, fresh, chewy, not out of a plastic bag. Sauces were homemade garley good. Fries are good, not great just good. Order ahead, but don't miss this read more

Been here four times so here are the pros and cons of what I've had so far. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. The place is very clean. The crispy chicken zinger burger is huge but the chicken was over cooked and the burger sauce was meh. The hot sauce on the chicken burger would be better than the burger sauce. The hot sauce is amazing as well as the garlic sauce. The peri fries were also huge in portion size and the seasoning is great but after eating half of the fries I was over the seasoning and wished they were just plain fries. The peri chicken wrap like the sandwich and fries was big in portion size but like sandwich the chicken was over cooked and chewy. I was glad that they put the hot sauce in it instead of burger sauce because that hot sauce is great. The veggie lunch special is an interesting menu item. Paneer and falafels in the same dish. The peri rice is amazing and has a great spice taste to it. The falafels are good but not pita inn falafels good. The paneer is paneer so it's bland but they drizzle hot sauce over it. I just wish they would drizzle more sauce over it because did I mention that the hot sauce is great. The hummus it comes with is ok. The peri chicken burger is good. The portion size wasn't as big as the crispy zinger burger but the grilled chicken wasn't as over cooked as the fried chicken items I've had previously. I'm glad it came with the hot sauce on it instead of the burger sauce because you know what...that hot sauce is amazing. Even with the over cooked chicken that I've had I still will be going back to this place to try other items off menu. I've recommended this place to a few family members and they all like the spice levels of the peri sauces and agree the staff is friendly and the service is great. My cousin's husband goes to this place 2-4 times a week after I told him about this place. read more

This is hands down the best peri peri I've ever had. I used to frequent port of peri peri and Nandos quite a bit and this was hands down better. Got the quarter chicken leg and thigh w/ hot sauce, falafal pita and hummus and pita and all of it was fantastic. Got some of the extra hot sauce on the side to dip and mix with hummus and it was such an amazing combination. The pita was very soft and delicious, the hummus was excellent. Just all around great peri peri spot. Wish I lived closer! read more

My wife and I were looking for some food after some mini golf. We found this place, I ordered the gyros and I got her some peri chicken for her to try. Me, myself having only had nandos as my only peri peri chicken experience, got gyros since I had written off peri chicken. The gyros were pretty average, a bit too fatty. I tried some of the peri chicken wings I got for my wife and damn, it's like I've never had peri chicken before. We will be coming back. Also they are open late, which makes them really one of the very few spots in the suburbs churning out really good food late into the night. read more

Great local spot. Brand new business. If like me you love Nando's, you are going to love this place even more. More authentic! Chicken is their specialty. Comes in various forms and with a variety of flavors and heat levels. We had the chicken sandwich, some wings (various flavors) a leg (hot... but not crazy), and a burger (because I was craving red meat). The burger was good... but not a main attraction... but it's there if you want it. Everything else was terrific. The chicken was juicy and tender with great flavor. It was sort of spicy - but not like hot sauce spicy... it was a sneaky heat that popped into your back door. Tasty and zingy on the back end. The fries were even seasoned differently. Very generous portions. Great location (parking out front). Clean and bright place. Great customer service. Friendly and personal, and the owner is the head chef. Super nice guy. If you've never had peri-peri before, this is a great spot if you're feeling adventurous without selling your soul. If you've had peri-peri before, then I know you'll love this place. It's authentic !! If you read this review or pass by this place and end up going to McDonalds or something like that then shame on you !!! read more

About 6pm on a Th, I called ahead to order party platter (3 chickens + sides). Guy said it would be at least an hour. I was starting to say forget it, then he talked to someone in the background and said 30 minutes. I asked for mild spice, sauce on the side. I told him I had a 10% off coupon. When we went to pick up the food, he said my coupon was a counterfeit and wouldn't honor it. We explained it was clipped from their menu, so he called his boss and said it was too old. There was no expiration date on it, but he refused to honor it. Got home, found all the chicken slathered in hot sauce. Wish I had opened the packages before I left. Too hot for most of my family to eat. Didn't bother calling to ask for refund or replacement since I was already accused of forging a coupon. read more

The guy behind the counter was pleasant to deal with. As I waited the dining area was medium sized with a bull mural on the wall. The flavor was on point, but the bun was chewy. The tomatoes were diced which is a nice touch because it allows you to get some with every bite. No poppyseed bun or celery salt. The dog was good, not great. The fries were very good. I would good back to try the burger. I received my food, it looked great.

(Sorry, no pictures this time! I was enjoying my food so much that I completely forgot.) The ambiance is welcoming, bright, and modern, and the restaurant is much larger than I expected. Everything was clean, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Lox Plate, and it was outstanding. The salmon had the perfect texture and seasoning, the cucumbers and bagel were fresh, and all of the flavors paired together beautifully. I love seeing lox on a menu, but many restaurants either don't do it well or serve portions that are too small. Here, everything was spot on, and the portion was generous enough that I left completely satisfied. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal, and my husband and I have already said we'll be back very soon. This restaurant is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, especially since there aren't many local breakfast spots nearby that aren't part of a chain. Highly recommend!

That said, there are so many options, particularly for this vegetarian and egg hater. Pro tip: Make a reservation! The place had a solid wait from the time we arrived until we left. Service was ok, spotty at bits, but I also attribute it to the place being busy. We had to ask a second time for some missing items. To eat, I got the berry crepes and a side of hash browns with cheese. My friend got the eggs Benedict with a side of pancakes. The crepes were very good, but I preferred the bites without the berry mascarpone filling. The side of pancakes my friend got was huge, this would be plenty as a main. They are very good at accommodating larger parties, but do wait to seat you until your party is all there.

I went here for lunch and had a nice experience, overall. I have had bb.q Chicken food at a different location before but this was my first time at this location. It wasn't busy when we got here. We were seated promptly. We took our time in deciding a I could not decide between getting wings or 1/2 fried chicken. Finally, I decided to go with 1/2 fried chicken (8 pieces) since I hadn't had it before. The small order of wings also comes with eight pieces and is a couple of dollars less than the 1/2 fried chicken. The food was freshly prepared. The chicken was hot when it came out. My wife got a lunch special of 8 pieces boneless wings in honey garlic sauce which came with fries and a soft drink. I got my 1/2 fried chicken in Spicy Galbi sauce. My chicken was very flavorful. The sauce had a nice taste. It was a bit sweet, a bit savory, and a light kick of heat. One thing different with having this 1/2 fried chicken from the wings I had at a different bb.q Chicken was that the 1/2 fried chicken pieces were not as meaty as the wings. The boneless wings flavor was good as well. The food hit the spot. The service was satisfactory. Next time, I'll go back to having wings.

The redecorating and ambience was modern and sleek, with fully operational and clean water features. Grills were gas-operated, one grills there own meat items here. I really liked the natural-stone mini-subway style tiles on the walls. Like a lot of Korean places I have seen, the seats had minimal padding. I think this would be a great place for a date if you're in the area, a prize in an unassuming strip mall anchored by an auto parts store. Food was great, they happily and generously provided more banchan and also gave us complimentary bowls of soy paste soup that was practically jumping out of the bowl. As civilised as I tried to be, using my chopsticks and the cooking tongs correctly, I still felt like I completely stuffed my face like at a trough '^_^ it was all so good. Maybe to accommodate the neighborhood, the banchan was not nearly as spicy as we expected, so that might be great for someone trying Korean for the first time. Some might balk at the prices of some items, such as $24.99 for 1/2lb of raw meat, but we had a very enjoyable time and hope to come again.

If you want to explore one of the most underrepresented regional cuisines in Chicago's Indian…read moredining scene, Magic Pepper is a place worth discovering. Magic Pepper is a new restaurant in Niles, and while the menu is broad--featuring North Indian dishes, Indo-Chinese items, and even a small kids menu with American staples--the heart of the kitchen is clearly Kerala cuisine from the southern part of India. That's what makes this place special. You can absolutely order familiar Indian dishes here. But the real reason to visit is the Kerala food, which is extremely hard to find done this well anywhere in the Chicago area. The restaurant itself is comfortable and straightforward. Think of the format of a casual sit-down chain restaurant--plenty of seating, relaxed vibe--but operated as a local family-run spot. Everything is clean, friendly, and welcoming, but it's not trying to be a trendy or overly polished dining room. It feels authentic in the best way: a solid neighborhood restaurant focused on good food rather than presentation. Service & Experience * Friendly, welcoming staff * Food is cooked fresh and brought out as it's ready * Expect dishes to arrive at slightly different times, especially with larger orders * Lots of takeout activity--clearly a popular local spot Sharing dishes actually works well here since the table tends to fill up quickly with all the accompaniments. Food We started with a familiar classic: * Samosa - solid and well executed, though this is more of a North Indian staple. Where things really shine is the South Indian and Kerala specialties. * Ghee Roast Dosa - outstanding. Thin, crispy, flaky, and served with all the traditional accompaniments like chutneys and sambar. * Pidiyum & Chicken Curry - a very traditional Kerala dish that's rare to find in Chicago. Comforting, rich, and deeply flavorful. * Malabar Parotta - a highlight. Flaky, layered, almost lacy bread that's incredible when paired with curry. This is something you rarely see outside Kerala-focused restaurants. * Kerala Chicken Curry - perfect with the parotta; deeply spiced without being overwhelming. We also tried some other menu sections: * Street-Style Indo-Chinese Fried Rice - flavorful and well balanced. * Hyderabadi Dum Biryani - served in a small kettle and executed beautifully. The basmati rice was perfectly separated and aromatic with spices. Dessert: * Gulab Jamun - warm, sweet, and a classic way to finish. Drinks One surprise was the cocktail menu. Even though there wasn't a dedicated bartender working constantly, the drinks were very good. * Indian Mojito * Indian Sunset Both had creative flavor twists using Indian ingredients and fresh juices. They took a little time to come out, but they were worth it. Verdict Magic Pepper isn't trying to be a flashy destination restaurant. It's a relaxed neighborhood spot focused on cooking authentic regional food--and that's exactly why it works. What makes it special is the Kerala cuisine, which is extremely difficult to find in the Chicago area at this level. If you're adventurous with food or want to explore beyond the usual butter chicken and tikka masala lineup, this place is absolutely worth seeking out. Come with an open mind, order some Kerala specialties, and share dishes. Five stars for bringing something genuinely unique to the Chicago area's Indian dining scene.

This place is extraordinary. As a new father of baby twins I named them to Peri and Peri. This is because my father and mother were both named peri and in my culture we name after people and don't just get to make up names. Like I couldn't just call my kid Mason because it's a neat name it has to already exist as a name in my family. I was always grateful it would simplify things for me in that I could name two children Peri. That's it Peri the full and official name - not short for anything. That's why I really appreciate this place of course my kids would be named Peri and peri regardless, but if I had had a terrible experience here I would have been forced to renamed them. That's definitely a factor and at play here. Alas it was delicious five out of five stars so little Peri and Peri will be coming here with me when they have teeth and can chew. read more

Flame On Peri Peri is absolutely amazing! The peri peri chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Their sauces are addictive, and I love being able to choose the spice level. The sides were fresh and tasty, and the portions are really worth the price. A special shoutout to Farhan -- he was very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service, which made the experience even better. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and overall this is one of the best spots for peri peri in town. Highly recommended! read more

I had a disappointing experience at Flame on Peri Peri. The menu seems to change constantly, making it difficult to know what to expect. When I inquired about this, the staff were incredibly disrespectful. I specifically asked for the manager's name several times, only to be given a fake name, which felt deceptive. Additionally, there was a tall gentleman with tar on his teeth who was particularly rude and unprofessional. Overall, I left feeling disrespected and frustrated. I won't be returning. read more
