Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Pepe's Piri Piri is like that reliable friend who shows up but sometimes brings stale snacks. Sure, this place has a solid reputation, being the birthplace of the franchise, but the food can be a bit of a gamble. Their full chicken and fries can hit the spot, but let’s not ignore the cleanliness issues that seem to plague the place.
The staff are friendly enough, but if you’re looking for a consistently clean dining experience, you might want to reconsider. I mean, it’s a bit like playing Russian roulette with your dinner—sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s not.
So, if you’re in the area and fancy a quick bite, it’s a decent option, but maybe keep your expectations low and your hand sanitizer handy.
