Always excited for good Peri Peri chicken so we had to check this place out while strolling through Ashburn. Unfortunately, this place is not it. When we arrived, the restaurant was really clean and the staff was nice enough. Unfortunately, everything on the menu was either sold out or we had to wait at least an hour for the food to be prepared. With the limited selection remaining, we got a fried chicken sandwich, wings, and waffle fries. We came right around lunch time so I would have expected most of the prep to be done for lunch service. The fried chicken sandwich was pretty average. It would have been elevated with more sauces and toppings. The chicken wings were just sad. It was tossed in some sauce and just thrown on a plate to be served. They were also a little dry from being burnt. The waffle fries were the best thing we had. They were fried and seasoned very well. Hoping this was a one off experience so I'd be open to trying again sometime soon. read more

Very disappointing experience at Peri Peri in South Riding. The customer service was basically nonexistent, and my order was incorrect. What made it worse was that they did not want to make a simple correction to fix the order. When you are paying for a meal, the bare minimum should be getting what you ordered and receiving decent customer service. Poor service, incorrect order, and no willingness to make it right. Don't go. Trust me. read more

Floor and tables were dirty, (they had just opened!) no plastic cutlery available, soda machine had no syrup. Chicken was served on a plate the same color as the chicken... disappointed, this is a one and done for me. read more

Our family absolutely love the food here... it is cooked with such care... everything fried is so crisp and well made... We love the humus and pita combo... the girls love the chicken tenders and fries. They give so much that they can share a dish. It speaks to their generosity. The onion rings are on as well as their new fish and chips meal. It's really nice to have a place where everyone in the family loves eating. The owners are so kind and generous... they throw in drinks and sides. Come and enjoy great food and kind and generous owners! read more

I want to share some feedback from my visit. I don't want to leave a bad rating, but there were a few things that made my experience uncomfortable and affected my appetite. I am not someone who leaves reviews easily--especially negative ones. I always try to support good businesses, and if I have a bad experience, I usually just don't return instead of writing a review. However, what I observed during this visit made me feel it was important to speak up. One staff member was eating while touching the payment/ordering screen. Another employee was coughing repeatedly without wearing a face mask. I noticed these two issues first and was actually trying to mention them to the cashier. Unfortunately, the staff member who took my order went to the restroom, then returned and sat behind the cash register. While sitting there, he put his fingers in his nose multiple times. I noticed this while I was eating, and it made me stop my meal. We made brief eye contact, but the behavior continued, which ultimately led me to leave this review. In addition, the tables were sticky and did not seem properly cleaned. The floor was also not clean and had small pieces of trash. I also noticed boxes of drinks, such as water and soda, placed directly on the floor, which did not look sanitary. I'm sharing this as constructive feedback, not to harm the business. Cleanliness and hygiene are extremely important in a restaurant, and addressing these issues would greatly improve the customer experience and confidence in dining here. read more

Cute place to sit and eat. Very good service. That's why the 3 stars. Sadly the food wasn't good! I was excited to try the chicken and sides but was quite disappointed. The texture of the chicken was strange and sauces were not nice and tasted of raw curry powder. Cute place to sit and eat. Very good service. Sadly the food wasn't good!

Didn't read the reviews before coming in here. I see a mixed bunch of positive and negative reviews. Not sure what there isn't to like. I asked the cashier what she thought is popular under chicken meals and she pointed me to the wings with spicy rice which I ordered "hot" flavored Wings were cooked perfectly sauce was a little on the acidic side but overall delicious when balanced with the rice and white garlic sauce (not sure what that is) Spicy rice was delicious but was not spicy in the sense you'd think, rather it contained many spices. Lots of clove and cardamom, very delicious Service was fast, profesional, and friendly! The cook hand delivered the food to me in the front, I couldn't ask for anything else! read more

Peri Peri Original - Chicken 6 Wings (hot) with Spicy Rice (Regular) - Halal Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

This place reminds me so much of Nando's and it tastes like it. Happy to see it come to South Riding, as the food options are very lacking here. The interior is nice and quaint, but I have only ordered takeout so far and my orders have been ready in about 20 mins. For food, I have gotten the Peri Chicken Wrap and Mini Platter, which includes 1/4 chicken, wings, and strips. The chicken is cooked well and is actually spicy depending on the level of spice you get. I got mild, but will try hot next time. Overall, great food, sides, and service that has many options and bombastic chicken. read more

The salad was gross. The whole bottom of the salad was sitting in water and the olives were tiny and really sad looking. The cucumbers were clearly bad. read more

The food here is very good in my opinion. I've been now 3 times since it opened a couple of months ago. Still having a hard time getting down the businsss side of things. Repeated phone calls to make a pick up order and no one answers. When there's no online ordering available yet I'm forced to come and order in person and wait in the front entrance (which is cozy and comfortable, but not my living room) for 20-25 mins. Kind of crazy that with 5+ people working no one is available to answer a phone call but workers can be seen on their personal cell phones while waiting for food. Hmm.. Service when a complaint has been made has been very accommodating and apologetic but it doesn't seem to be making anything more efficient. I'll keep letting them prove they can work on it but hoping these kinks get worked out sooner than later. read more

The food here is fire, the plate speaks for itself. The music is also fantastic! Service is great in person, though I have not ordered online or via the phone. Overall, if you want fire chicken, get the grilled sandwich and call ya motha! read more

Peri Peri Original - Used to be a peri original - Halal Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

I have never had such dry chicken in all of my life. I was unable to eat any of the chicken strips. Just terrible.

It's cute and clean! Ordered online and everything was ready when promised! I order 2 chicken wraps with fried chicken, potato wedges, peri fries, grilled corn on the cob. The food was tasty. The sauce isn't hot as advertised, not even close. The grilled corn is tasty yet it was charred a bit too much. I couldn't finish it. Overall, the food is good, not great but I'd try it again with other dishes. Glad to see new food offerings in the South Riding area. read more

Not great, but may be working out some of the kinks. Food was just okay. Chicken was decent but kind of dry, spicy rice was very good so I'd recommend that, fries were soggy had to recook in our air fryer. They gave some side sauce but probably only enough for a few dips which is ridiculous. TLDR: Wait a month or so, it could get better. If you can't, have some backup sauce handy. read more

Peri Peri Original - Not enough sauce, you could at least fill it halfway. - Halal Near Me - South Riding, Virginia

Food is Subpar, French fries C, chicken C-. Super pricy! For a family meal (one chicken and one side) is 29/30 bucks... heck no. Go to a real Peruvian restaurant. Will not be going back! Only pro is that everything is new and "clean" read more

I'm usually too lazy to write reviews but I had such a good experience with this new business, I felt compelled to. I ordered takeout from the phone and the customer service was excellent. This gave me a good feeling and the interaction in the shop was positive. I had the honey garlic burger, HOT. Very good- I'd rank it higher than other popular places like Hot Lolas or Hangry Joes though perhaps the comparison is unfair, its a different type of sandwich. HOT was enough for my acid reflux to kick in but not so spicy that I couldn't enjoy it taste wise. Pops got a gyro, which he ranked as "better than expected" but not as good as the street gyro he got in Baltimore in the summer of 1997. But you get it - I had a bite and it was a solid offering. The rice was rice, we had some sauces that enhanced it. But maybe I'm not a rice guy (I don't really like Popeye's cajun rice either and my friends think I'm crazy cause of it). The whole experience was very positive and I'll check it out again. I'd definitely repeat the chicken burger but will expand to different offerings. One suggestion to the business - allow for online takeout that isn't through Grubhub. The prices offered were noticeably higher than the menu, which is not good if I'm picking up. Also, your website is pretty wonky it needs work. 5 stars, not going to deduct from this franchise cause of a corporate cheapness on their website UI. read more

I like to get the Mini-Platter. The mango-lime sauce is quite tasty. Not many places offer grilled corn on the cob- - one of my favorite sides. The potato wedge portions are filling. The wait isn't bad if you order in store, but I'd recommend calling ahead. read more

I ordered online and it was ready when I needed it. I enjoy this location. I have many things yet to try on the menu and can't wait for the next adventure. read more

The restaurant is clean, the owner & staff are friendly, the food is delicious, and everything is Halal. Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Burgers chicken, fries and the sauce are AMAZING here. It's a bit pricey, but right for the quality of food you get. Everything seems fresh and is made to order, which is a plus. The workers are very nice, one time they gave us free soup. read more

Fried chicken sandwich is really good when you choose hot heat level and they changed their fries from last time I came here, now they have waffle fries and that was a big improvement and service was great it only took about 10 minutes for my food to get to me. read more

Solid chicken sandwich. But boy is it pricey. Got 2 chicken sandwiches 2 drinks and a side of rice .. $32 I know things have gotten pricey but that's a tough pill to swallow read more

Food was okay but it's pricey for what you get and the service wasn't very good. Portions are small. Employees weren't very friendly

The Chicken Flavored Mango Lime was certainly on point very tasty, the Seasoned Peri Fris were old and served at room temperature. My customer experience wasn't so great, I understand it's tough getting people to show up for work today, If your dealing with the public act like you care, be friendly at least . My 3- Stars are extremely generous as I paid $16.15 for Quarter chicken white and a fountain soda, followed with lack luster customer service. From a real foodie that tries to give the business an opportunity to do the right thing. Out. read more

Didn't get the food we ordered when we called they said the delivery driver must have taken it. They never offered us anything for the inconvenience. We spent over $100 and got just over half the food. read more

These are the worst wings known to mankind I ordered on doordash and I can't get myself to eat it. Just wasted money. read more

First time to try, wasn't too impressed with the food...had sort of an overwhelming curry flavor and tartness, which was a little odd to me, and everything was SUPER salty. However, if you like those sorts of thing, the portions are generous. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish anything, so a bit of a waste of food. Positives are that the take-out service was friendly and on time, and place was clean and organized read more

Management is friendly and is eager to help and resolve any situation Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich was amazing read more

Sadly not a great experience. Bad chicken and bad food! Please please fix both! Nando's was a much better experience!

The food is very good. I've been here 5 times. Service is excellent, I was exited. very clean

Well I am surprised to see these positive comments about it as i came here to alert others.we had terrible experience.we got tempted and felt happy after seeing their menu similar to Nandos but there is nothing to compare except the name of the restaurant. We have waited for more than half an hour to get our food for 4 people but not at all worth it.Taste was horrible.we ordered chicken wings and chicken over rice.Surprisingly food was not even warm even though they served late.sorry I am not at all ready to recommend this place.Waste of time and money!!! read more

The heat level at this place needs to be rethought. Extra Hot is not even mild. Portions are small for the price being charged for a fast food joint. Avoid at all circumstances. read more

Delicious, and the staff was so friendly! Had the chicken pita, hot. Will be back again soon.
