Nice chicken spot, the family deal was fairly good, make sure to dip the potatoes in the chicken oil!

This is a 5-Star chicken place with 3-Star sides. We picked up the family meal which offers up a whole chicken, a small potato and small rice… and when they say “small” they mean “large” - the chicken was great and the rice and potato were both good, but not the reason your go here.

Highly recommend the tarts. They come in from Portugal and they are truly amazing. We get 2 containers and they disappear fast every time. The bean salad is good. Different from my grandmother's recipe but still good. Potatoes soo good.

On vacation from Texas on our motorcycle. Picked up food from a small storefront. Ordered #1 whole chicken, rice and potatoes! 😋😋😋 So juicy and tender chicken. Rice was delicious and husband loved the potatoes. If you're near the airport or want amazing food try this place, you won't regret it. BTW it's only take out or delivery.

Incredible food! Chicken is seasoned to perfection and fall-off the bone! Rice is delicious! Potatoes are soft, perfectly salted and just amazing! 15/10 would order again and again and again. Completely worth every penny. Anyone leaving bad reviews has no idea what good food tastes like. 🙂

We re from up north and stopped by this little Jen on our way home! With the 5 star rating we knew we needed to try it! Did not disappoint! This place is amazing the chicken true Portuguese cooking right here! My hubby and I are fond of Portuguese food and love to try new spots, we will stop here again! 5 stars. Also I read a review about the sides being a three start wrong entirely wrong the Parisian potatoes were perfectly soft and rice was true Portuguese rice. Had a lot of friends with Avo s growing up, the rice was bang on;) oh and if you like a good hot olive theirs are to die for! Thanks for the amazing comfort food and fully bellies to co time on our drive!

This was the worst chicken I have ever had, dry and tasteless. Even Metros was 10 times better. Everything was a rush, the containers of rice and potatoes were massive in quantity, but the dipping sauce was miniscule in relation to how much chicken you had to dip. With 50 years as a family business Im not impressed. My first time was my last time.

If you dont like the chicken from this place, theres something seriously & incurably wrong with you and you should be kept away from animals and children at all cost. Also, Im fairly certain their cole slaw contains a top secret ingredient, a formula with the addictive properties of heroin but cleverly disguised as, or hidden by, cabbage. If I ever had leftovers, Id send them out for forensic testing.

I tried calling to place an order for Portuguese Tarts and wasnt able to get through until Friday and then I wasnt able to order them. I ended up getting a chicken dinner with potatoes and rice. The portions are generous. The potatoes were okay. Very underwhelming. They didnt have much flavour. The rice was pretty good.

★★★★★

I was gifted leftover Portuguese Chicken. Oh, and what a marvelous gift!!!! I warmed up the chicken and rice, it was all so tender, juicy and delicious. But the sauce, the sauce has no words. Heavenly and beyond. 5/5 Now I have to go there for a dine in experience. Thanks for everyone s contribution to a marvelous evening for me. You are all amazing!!!

So sorry , but what a disappointment :( The chicken didnt taste like authentic piri pir chicken , just rotisserie chicken with a side of hot sauce. Potatoes were extremely dry, almost hard to swallow. I was so looking forward to authentic flavor, it just wasnt there :(

People of Belleville! You must eat here! The food is always well seasoned, piping hot and delicious. Huge portions for the price. The owners are super friendly. Delicious chicken. Always a great meal. I could drink the piri piri sauce. Its become our go to for chicken takeout. I havent been to that Swiss chain restaurant since I discovered this place and I dont plan to either!

My husband and I stopped in to grab dinner for the family in case the power went out during a storm. The staff greeted us and thanked us for stopping in. The food was outstanding. We got the Package 1, and olive salad. So much food, 4 people eating and we have leftovers. The prices are amazing, cant be beat for a nutritional alternative..$30.00 to feed a family of 4, with left overs..Amazeballs. we will return many times!!!

Just found this place (after looking for the old sushi shop) Had the biggest most delicious meal. Took home a whole chicken which was fall off the bone perfect and the small potatoes which is a generous portion. I added extra hot sauces. Everything was exactly what I had hoped for. Best Ive found since leaving Toronto. The bonus is the prices are so reasonable we can enjoy this often. Cant wait to try the fish!! My pictures are AFTER I HAD A WHOLE MEAL OUT OF IT ALREADY.

The half chicken dinner was great: moist and tender meat, perfect rice and delicious hot sauce that goes with both. I will get the coleslaw instead of the potatoes next time to round the meal out a bit better. I ordered it with only a little hot sauce, but would get it spicy next time as I ended up using all side of hot sauce provided anyway. Highly recommended. They are takeout only and only open until 6pm.

Having moved from the GTA a few years ago, I ve missed the food options available there. Portuguese Chicken being one of my favourite take out meals I was SO EXCITED when my partner drove by Best Sardinha. We ordered a family meal that same evening and it was *exactly* what we hoped for - even better, actually. The chicken was amazing, and the sides delicious. Even the salad was high quality ingredients. Cannot recommend more and SO happy this establishment is in town. Run, don t walk.
