PEPE'S PIRI PIRI EDGWARE ROAD

Pepe's Piri Piri on Edgware Road is the kind of place where you walk in, and the aroma of flame-grilled chicken practically hugs you. The half chicken has got people singing its praises, and the fries are so good they should probably get their own fan club. If you’re after a casual meal with the fam, this spot serves up good vibes and even better service.

However, while the food shines, the atmosphere outside can be a bit sketchy at night. You might have to brace yourself for a less-than-pleasant Edgware Road experience while you chow down. But if you can deal with that, you’re in for some scrumptious bites and smiling staff that'll make you want to come back for more.
