  Best chicken on the East Side, always consistent too. Please open a location in the Issaquah Highlands!

  Super nice staff! Good vegan/vegitarian options. A bit pricey but large quantities. Recommend the veggie hot dogs with lime and herb sauce. Lime and herb sauce very good. Spicier sauces were a bit bitter but also a good choice.

  The chicken was OLD and had a terrible smell. OVERPRICED. I had to throw away the food. Meat is not fresh at all

  Being a big fan of Nando's - love this place for consistency in taste and very friendly staff. Could not handle the super hot but upto hot was ok. Not too many tables to sit so we mostly takeout

  I stopped by The Port of Peri Peri in Kirkland on a whim, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the place had a really welcoming feel — clean, modern, and full of that amazing grilled aroma that immediately makes you hungry. The staff were super friendly and patient, even though it was busy when I arrived. They took the time to explain the menu and helped me choose the right spice level (I went with medium, which had the perfect kick). The food came out fresh and hot, and honestly, it was even better than I expected. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of smoky, flavorful peri peri seasoning — you can tell it’s marinated properly and grilled with care. The sides were also great; I had the peri fries and coleslaw, and both were excellent. The fries had just the right amount of seasoning, and the coleslaw was crisp and refreshing, balancing out the spice perfectly. I also tried their garlic bread and a side of rice — both were really tasty and felt freshly made, not the usual filler sides you get at other places. You can tell they take pride in every dish they serve. What really stood out was how everything felt consistent — the food, service, and atmosphere all matched up perfectly. The portions were generous for the price, and everything tasted clean and high quality. The manager even stopped by my table to ask how the meal was, which was a really nice touch. It’s rare to find a place that does flame-grilled chicken this well. The flavors reminded me of classic peri peri spots I’ve tried abroad, but with a more personal touch. This location definitely does it right. I’ll absolutely be coming back — next time I’m trying the extra hot sauce and maybe one of their wraps. Highly recommend this spot whether you’re dining in with family or just grabbing a quick meal to go. Kirkland needed a place like this!
