Food was ok...there was only one cook making the food so there was a delay. I got the loaded kofta platter. Don't think I'll be going back, the place needs to be tidy up. It's not very appealing and so is the kitchen. read more

Frangos Peri Peri is a mini Portuguese chain specializing in said African-Portuguese dish. The most well known chain for this spot is Nando's with a few in DC but there's none of them here. There's a a couple of these spots with the original one being in Middle Village (in queens) but there's also a few other locations as well. I went here with one of my less common groups to sample some of the tasty food here. The head was ordering for us as he had a mild/moderate spice tolerance so we stuck with the less heat focused options but it was still tasty. The service was alright being pretty friendly but not with the best English. I presume the guy spoke Portuguese or something similar. The drink selection has a good soda fountain with more unique options than most. We started with the hummus listed as hummus with a drizzle of peri peri sauce and served with nachos or pita bread. We got it with pita and it was fine. The hummus had a fun spice kick from the peri peri but had some of the creaminess you'd associate with a hummus. I presume they don't make in house but the peri peri was a nice touch. We got two of the Whole Grilled Chickens, Lamb Chops, and the Beef Bites as the main. The former was with a mix of mild and the garlic and herb. The chicken was pretty sauce and quite tasty. A bit of heat but not much as expected but they did have some sauces on the table which helped kicked it up a bit. The lamb chops we got with mango and lime. You couldn't taste the lamb much from the sweet sauce but it was tender and tasty. Pretty solid but tiny chops for the price. If you're looking for something more substantial based on price, the beef bites with flame grilled bite size beef served with rice & salad or fries was probably the most filling. We got the lemon & herb for the beef and the beef could have been a bit more tender but it still had a tasty sauce. For sides, the Grilled Cauliflower was probably the best of the group also having some peri peri on it. The Seasoned Fries were also very tasty with a tiny kick. The Coleslaw was luckily not that watery but lacked a bit of flavor and the Spicy Rice wasn't that spiced and the salad was standard with a creamy dressing. It's hard to rate this spot. The chicken was solid and the food overall was pretty tasty but I find the prices a tad high for just about everything with especially the sides being overpriced for the sizes. Still solid though and I can see why it's liked by a lot of people. Mid 3? read more

Frangos Peri Peri has been one of my go-to spots in the neighborhood for a while now, and it never disappoints. I usually get delivery, and the food always arrives well-packed, hot, and delicious. Their wings are amazing, and I especially love the chicken bites--they're so flavorful! My favorite combo is the chicken bites with salad and rice. The salad dressing is so good! My husband and son love the wings too, but we've also tried the steak bites, wraps, smash burgers, lamb chops, impossible burgers--you name it. We've sampled a lot, and everything has been great. I've walked by the restaurant and it looks like it's a bit small inside, but that hasn't mattered since delivery has always been super reliable. But it's like it's clean and nice inside. Frangos is a real gem in the neighborhood. I honestly can't remember ever getting a bad meal from them--and I order often! read more

Met former coworkers for lunch here. The food was very good but the service was a little lacking. Not sure how long this place will last since they didn't seem busy at all but if you do need a solid lunch option in the area, I recommend it. read more

Visited Frangos Peri Peri for dinner with a friend on Wednesday evening. I was super excited to try this place as it seemed like an equivalent to Nando's, and I was not disappointed! We ordered the meal for two which came with 1/2 chicken, 5 wings, and 2 sides. We opted for the lemon & herb spice for our 1/2 chicken, mango & lime spice for the wings, and garlic bread & spiced fries for our sides. It was the perfect amount of food for a great price, and everything was absolutely delicious! The servers were also attentive and friendly -- everything about the experience here was great. Will definitely be back! read more

Frangos Peri Peri - Portuguese Near Me - New York, New York

Excellent peri peri! Absolutely on point! I haven't had peri peri this good in years... and I've been searching. Everything was so good. The chicken was grilled perfectly and had the right amount of sauce. The chicken was crispy outside but flavorful and juicy inside. The rice corn and coleslaw paired nicely together and complemented the meal. It's open late and I'm glad i decided to stop in and give it a try. read more

I've been to Frangos Peri Peri before and I must say, the more I go, the more I fall in love with it. The food is absolutely delicious and halal which makes it easy to take my family to. It's a small place but from what I've seen, most of their orders are takeout so if you chose to, you can definitely dine in (even as a large group on a weekend). Aforementioned, the lamb chops are a must in my book, but honestly anything here is great. I hope to return here again with my family. read more

Was expecting something very good from the high ratings but the main star, the chicken, was kinda disappointing. My brother and I got the Peri for Two takeout which portion-wise is clearly enough. Maybe it was just the wrong choice of sauce or what but lemon & herb was not it. It was thick and gritty with a strong lemon taste and I don't mean it was sour either. The chicken pieces were coated thoroughly with the sauce. Good thing there was a small cup of spicy sauce which somewhat helped. The coleslaw was standard. Also, the chicken was grilled for too long on one side to the point it's burnt, not very pleasing taste. The chicken breast was super dry as well. The seasoned fries were the best part. read more

Frangos Peri Peri - Peri for 2 (lemon herb sauce, cole slaw, Seasoned Fries) - Portuguese Near Me - New York, New York

My entire family got food poisoned yesterday. I've ordered from here few times. I miss Nandos and flavor wise this was the closest to Nandos. In the past the food was always a hit or miss but yesterday I can't even fathom what the 6 of us went through. The chicken smelled like fart or faeces. I didn't think too much about it. We were starving so we all pushed through and just ate and we all discussed how the chicken smelled like fart. I complained to DoorDash talking about the quality & we got half of the food refunded. Then at 3am, one by one we started throwing up in the toilet. It hit my 4 year old the worse. We are still in the process of getting better and hoping this feeling is short term. Overall I'm disgusted they served us spoiled chicken. Not much to say to that. read more

This place was delicious! They have a small outdoor tent set up and weren't too busy on a Friday night. Given how amazing their food was, I was surprised there weren't more people in line! The chicken was tender and flavorful. You can pick which sauce to go on top of the chicken and when the food arrive, they also give you all the 6 sauces on the side. We got our chicken with the hot sauce and I dipped my pieces in garlic and herb. It was perfect. For the sides, the seasoned fries were addictive!!! Highly recommend this. The jalapeño poppers were pretty good too though probably not the best deal for the sides. Would definitely come back! Such a great restaurant read more

Frangos Peri Peri - Half chicken with fries and Jalapeno Poppers - Portuguese Near Me - New York, New York

Guys. This place goes crazyyyyyy!! The wings were trendy, juicy and incredibly flavorful. I've never had Portuguese chicken wings before, and the thick, flavorful sauce was such a change of pace. Completely different from classic wings us Americans are used to. The seasoned fries were yummy too. The jalapeño poppers tasted and looked like the frozen ones from TGIF, but I don't want to make any allegations lol The restaurant itself was small. There was space for maybe 5 groups of people to sit and eat. It was brightly decorated. The staff was nice and service was pretty average in terms of speed. read more

Stop by for a takeout meal, seemed like a solo business. Really want to support restaurants especially due to the current NY situation. However, quite disappointed. Came in right when it's open at 12pm. Ordered a chicken togo. From the moment I came in and left, no eye contact from the chef/host, definitely feels the cold and unfriendliness. He's also solo so he cook and take order and pass order himself. I hope he washes his hands (very sensitive right now) honestly I'm not sure. Also all table has a water bottle already filled with water, also I'm not sure that's a good idea and I would not want to drink that water if the table has been emptied if for even 30 minutes without a cover .. Here comes the food, uhm.... I've had many peri chicken and this one was quite not okay. The sauce was acceptable but only sit on top of the chicken skin. The meat has no flavor at all. Especially since I don't eat the chicken skin, after taking the skin off, I was left with a flavorless chicken. I'm sorry to leave this review but you gotta love what you are doing if you want to own and operate a restaurant in NYC. Cooking a good chicken is not that hard and you gotta just spend the time to marinate it instead of just dumping some sauce on too when you serve it. read more

I can't remember what it was like prior to the call for social distancing. This was the weekend before it all went down when we decided to try Peri Peri for our monthly eating adventures. It was a very cute space with water and sauces already placed on each individual table. There was only one person working during the lunch hours. We had to order in the front. The garlic bread was heavenly. The fries were nice and crunchy though the "spicy fries" were more like Cajun fries. The lamb chops were good. I forget which sauce we got, but the wings and the chicken were a but too sauce-y. The burger was very interesting in a weird way. We all agreed that we would not get it again. It tasted artificial. I hope this small business survives the COVID pandemic. read more

More peri peri and that's grand! Sit down spot in the East Village brings the flavors. Already addicted to Portugrill I hopped over for lunch. Multiple sauces and cute folksy seating. The sauces remind me more of LLo's seafood shack uptown than simple peri peri, but whatever. Ate: Peri peri shrimp Grilled cauliflower Total$16 The food was really delicious but a charge of $3 for white meat on a quarter chicken seems excessive read more

Truly loved this restaurant. Nice little cozy spot , it's fast causal. Had a great dinner there. Chef Barry was very helpful and guided us , and suggested things . Overall the food is really good and very different. You won't find this flavor every where else. Peri Peri Sauce is a hot sauce made using Piri Piri or African Bird's eye chillies. Recipe also uses red peppers, red onions and garlic but the show stealer of this sauce is African Red Chilli or Bird's Eye Chilli. We got a bit of everything from Wings Roulette to Lamb Chops . Wings Roulette is a great starter as it comes with all flavors. We also did the chicken thighs , nice and juicy boneless cut packed with flavors. Lamb chops and the sides were amazing , especially the FRIES. Also the place is Halal Certified Ambiance- 10/10 Service - 10/10 WiFi - Not Sure Parking - Street Reservation - Not Needed They are on Multiple platforms like THECRAVEAPP read more

I love this place. Not only because the food tastes amazing but it tastes just like Nandos. It's everything I was looking for in a peri peri chicken. The price is perfect for the amount of food you get Their chickens are amazing and so are the wings! The fries are well seasoned. The half chicken comes with 2 chicken leg+thighs. Whole chicken comes with 4 of those and so on. The burgers are a bit small but its packed with flavors. Plenty of parking spots around the area too so if you wanna come here with your car then go for it. I ate at this place for 3 days straight and regret nothing. Its perfect. read more

The service was excellent. Both the owner and our server were extremely attentive, explained everything and from the time of order until we got our food, it was a breeze. We ordered a family style meal with spicy rice that complimentwd the chicken very well. The fries were absolutely delicious and we ordered a second serving. The chicken (both regular and wings) were perfectly cooked and moist. It was extremely flavorful. We tried the extra hot, which was too hot for me, but others in our party with higher heat tolerance loved them. My favorite was the Hot. It was tangy and had the perfect amount of heat that gave it a kick, but wouldn't kick your ass. The mango and lime was interesting and probably our least favorite, but it was still good. The mango flavor was bolder, but it was worth a try. The garlic and herb was also a huge hit for the non-spicy eaters. read more

The service here was incredible! We felt so taken care of and they even gave us free (delicious) fries !! So perfectly seasoned! But let's talk about the star of the show, the delicious wings. Love that you can get different sauces and can try the bunch! The mashed potatoes were sooo yummy!! What's in the mashed potatoes? Who knows but damn we're they good! The music was also great, we were moving our bodies as we were nibbling on wings. read more

I came here with some friends and ordered the seasoned fried and the corn on the cob. The corn on the cob was amazing. It was coated with a sauce of some kind that was very good. Next time I come back I'd love to try the cauliflower! I avoided the vegan options because I'm personally not a fan of impossible meat and Seitan but it's nice to know this place has vegetarian/vegan options! read more

Although it's a little restaurant, the cuisine is excellent. tried the peri-peri wings and hummus. Delicious and fresh cuisine.

One word::: FLAVORRRR!!!!!!! Wow, thank you for making delicious food all around that is well seasoned, juicy and flavorful while not being oily/cheesy! We have ordered here 3 times since a week ago. This is my husbands favorite spot. We were craving spicy chicken and yes- they delivered! He always gets the chicken tenders with Garlic Herb and Very Hot! It brings the heat but it's yummm, the cauliflower is well cooked and seasoned and the grilled corn even brings flavor! I have gotten the sandwich and the butter wrap, they both were good- I will prob order that butter wrap more now- it's a soft naan that's buttery and soft with yummy juicy chicken inside- I got that with Lemon herb and hot mixed. The fries are crisp and hot. Yummity yumm yumm! If you can handle heat get the Very Hot with lemon or garlic, if u need medium then hot with lemon or garlic!.. read more

Nice spot and would recommend for takeout. Small but friendly owners who make you feel welcome. Even the mild sauce is a bit spicy so be prepared. Interesting flavors so get all three to try. read more

Love this place! Service was super friendly and fast! We got a large order of the chicken wings which came with two sides! We got friends and garlic bread! I love how they let you layer different sauce flavors, and split the wings in any way you want! Like if you only wanna to have 1 or 2 wings a certain flavor you can! The chicken itself was super tender and cooked well! The wings sizes were actually pretty generous compared to other wings I've seen at restaurants. And the sauce itself was so good! Though, extra hot and hot weren't as spicy as expected. My favorite was mango & lime with hot! read more

I have had peri peri before! And to be honest I did not like their peri peri wings. I did half mild and half mango and lime. I thought both sauces were grainy(maybe too much cornflour?)/ I personally did not like it the taste. I like Chick-in over frangos! I loved the seasoned fries ** read more

Frangos Peri Peri - Wings with 2 Sides - Portuguese Near Me - New York, New York

This was hands down one of the BEST meals I have ever had. The food here is absolutely incredible. My fiancé and I tried the shrimp skewers, the Russian Roulette wings (be prepared for a little bit of spice with these, it's a flavorful spice and not one that leaves your mouth feeling numb) the lamb chops with mango lime sauce and mild garlic sauce (both just finger licking good), the grilled cauliflower and the peri salsa. We more or less licked our plates clean!! We NEVER finish an entire meal and always wind up taking some food home with us but not this time because we were enjoying everything so much! Everything was so fresh and full of flavor and the best part is that we didn't feel heavy or bloated afterwards. Rosina (I hope I'm spelling her name right) is just as incredible as the food she served us. I think she is one of the owners and has created a truly unique place to come and enjoy a cuisine that is full of culture and flavor. I HIGHLY recommend this place!! Come support this local business!!! read more

Despite this place being empty inside and no one else hovering around, realized it was open for takeout on a Saturday afternoon. Cool menu of different chicken options as well as various sides available. Decided on the Peri Burger w/ one side ($13) - chicken tenders in burger form drenched in hot sauce. Super moist and tons of flavor, just the right amount of meat to bun. For my side, had the jalapeno poppers - heavily fried and a tad over-salted. Did help alleviate the spicyness from the burger. Also tried some of the Vegan Bites ($10) that are a solid option for your vegetarian friends. Small restaurant that is hopefully doing well during this odd time. Would come back to try their wings. read more

Frangos Peri Peri - Peri burger - Portuguese Near Me - New York, New York

Was around the neighborhood so wanted to try this place. Portions are large. Took it to go. We ordered a lot. One bad experience about here was they did not double bag our food. We literally got back home in front of our door and my bag ripped and all the food fell out. One of the thing we wouldn't save all of it. But the rest was able to save. I spent about $85 to almost lose all my food because of not double bagging it. It was only a 20 min walk. The food is heavy. Lemon herb and mango and lime were very interesting flavors. The mash potatoes first time i have seen yellow potatoes. It's good. Wonder how much butter they put in. The cole slaw was pretty decent. Overall the food is mediocre. I love anything sour or lime. But the combination was interesting but you'll taste one flavor more than the other. read more

YUMalicious. We got the wing roulette appetizer for two of us. That way you get to try multiple flavors. So good. Split the huge Spanish salad and still had enough left over for lunch the next day for me. I got the 4 grilled lamb chops (Could only eat two. More lunch!), side of Jollof rice. He got the small (hah!) simmered beef cubes over the non African/Portuguese French Fries. Even the French Fries were special. Service was a little slow but they were slammed with delivery orders, so that tells you how good it is! Very reasonably priced. Go! read more

Good casual place to go with a group and share a bunch of things. Chicken was very flavorful and well cooked for the most part; a couple pieces were dry but they season heavily. It's the type of place where you order at the counter and then sit down; the staff doesn't really speak English so it was a little difficult to communicate with them read more

This places is more of a causal fast food place then an actual sit down. You order at the counter and wait for the food to come out. Almost all items can be seasoned with their selection of various sauces and can even be mixed and matched. We order the whole chicken, wings and the lamb chops and we tried various sauces but most are on the sour side and the hot sauce was not hot at all, more like a lot of spice but not spicy hot at all. All the dishes were over seasoned and we all left thirsty, while it was nice to try something new and different but it's just not to our liking. read more

I love peri peri & have been hunting for a good spot in NYC. Frangos just opened and it's EXACTLY what I've been missing. 4 tenders + two sides was the perfect amount of food. Tenders are sizable, so I only finished 3. There wasn't an option to select sauce type on Postmates. What turned up was a variety of sauces. The Mild and Mango & Lime were my favorites, but the Lemon/Garlic & Herb were great as well. Can't wait to try Hot/Extra Hot as someone who loves heat! Similar to Nandos, but tastes like it was made by your grandma who happens to be an amazing chef-- SO tasty. Delivery was fast, fresh, and warm. This is going to become a staple for me! read more

A pleasant surprise down in the village . Fun , colorful , very friendly place , great service ! But beyond all its about the GREAT food ! I took the Russian roulette (of chicken wings) and it was fun to play with those hot delicious sauces . The lamb chops were great , its easy to those who doesn't know how to ruin lamb meat , BUT this place did it just right , soft , tasty and the at right spiciness (though next time i am going to take the highest level) My side was the spicy rice which was fantastic ! Small space so i assume that weekend wise its with lines. Worth it !!!! read more

Finally found a place that serves piri piri chicken to satisfy my Nando's cravings that I've had ever since I moved back to the New York from London. Taste: for the price and quantity, it's great Value: a lot of food on your dollar Frequency: I can myself ordering from here once or twice in each 2-week period. Great for lunch when you're hungry and after working out Be warned, the hot flavor is actually respectably spicy. I regularly eat spicy food but for those who don't, I don't recommend it. Would recommend the lime flavor instead read more
