🔥Tribos Peri Peri Chicken That Slaps (In the Best Possible Way)
Peri peri is a cuisine based on the African bird's-eye chili pepper—and it's freakin' (dare I say Wicked) delicious.
If you're looking for a place where the food is 🔥 and the vibes are even better, Peri Peri is it.
Let’s start with the staff—genuinely kind and helpful, not just flashing those “I’m smiling but cursing you out in my head” customer service grins.
At one point, they brought out a tiny handheld vacuum to clean under a table next to us. Who does that?
People who actually care.
🥙 The Food: Saucy, Spicy, and Shockingly Good
Let’s talk chicken—South African-style, deeply marinated, and flame-grilled to juicy perfection.
Each bite is packed with flavor, not just heat.
🔥 The sauces are basically a personality test:
- 🧂 Plain – for the gentle souls
- 🍋 Lemon & Herb – bright, zesty, and citrusy
- 🔥 Mild – sneaky heat
- 🌶 Medium – warming up now
- 🌶🔥 Hot – things are happening
- 🚨 Extra Hot – you came here to sweat, didn’t you?
Fair warning: even the mild brings some heat.
If you're just here for flavor, you're good.
But if you're looking to test your limits (and maybe cry a little)? Go for extra hot. I believe in you.
💡 Must-Try Add-Ons
✅ The white sauce on the table? Do not sleep on it. Creamy, garlicky, and cuts the spice like a pro.
✅ Hummus + pita:
The pita is soft and pillowy, and the hummus is thicker and creamier than any I've had before. Absolute perfection.

🚗 Crave factor: I would fly to Boston and take an Uber just to eat here.
Every Boston trip? We come at least twice. That’s how good it is. 5/5.
Bonus: The Westborough location is right at Assembly Row, so you can walk off your meal with some top-tier shopping. 🛍️
📝 What I’d Tell My Best Friend to Order
Get the chicken rice bowl (mild)—trust me on the spice.
Unless you want to test your pain tolerance or enjoy sweating and crying while you eat… then by all means, go wild. 🌶️
Add hummus on the side.
And be smart: grab a second bowl to go—you’re going to crave it tomorrow.
