Peri peri flame grill chicken, steak & Ribs
I have given this place a 5 star review before as this is one of my favourite spots for their yummy grilled chicken and their sauce is excellent however I am taking that down to 2 stars because even though the food was delicious which I recently ordered however the portion size has decreased enormously I'm unhappy to do so but it was ridiculous to the size of the chicken I am adding pictures for reference however I want to reiterate the taste is amazing but the portion size needs fixing please.
Dear Chick Fiesta Team, I hope this message finds you well. I recently dined at your restaurant, and I wanted to share some feedback about my experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. I particularly appreciated their recommendations, which were spot on! As for the food, I enjoyed grill chicken & fried chicken The flavors was delicious Overall, I had a delightful time at Chick Fiesta and will certainly be returning. Thank you for your dedication to providing delicious food and excellent service!
I visited this restaurant with my brothers and had a mixed experience. The chicken fry combo and peri peri fries were tasty and enjoyable. The zesty chicken sandwich was decent, but the steak sandwich unfortunately did not meet expectations. It had an off taste, and I couldn't finish it. Despite this, the customer service was excellent. The gentleman at the front was very welcoming and attentive, which enhanced our visit. I wouldn’t recommend taking the steak sandwich for the price you can go to BBOYZ and get a better deal.Also don’t try their bottle sauces get yourself dipping sauces.
I’ve been going to Chick fiesta for a few years now and I must say I really love it. I haven’t tried many things from the menu, usually get the same thing all the time (Half or Whole chicken with Rice and/or Peri Peri Fries) I’ve tried the burger a few times and it’s decent. The staff members are really friendly and nice, today for the first time I experienced peri fries that may have been excessively seasoned, I reached out to them and the owner took it upon himself to ensure I get the fries with the appropriate seasoning (less). He even gave me a complementary burger for the inconvenience this caused. Being a loyal customer, I appreciate this very much. This is my go to place for a high protein meal, the chicken is cooked very well and the fries are amazing. Thanks again to the staff and owners for providing such tasty and healthy Portuguese style chicken.
Very rude people. I order often on uber eats. But they don’t care to keep loyal customers or any customers. Potato’s always dirty with roots still attached. They say it is oven baked but it’s not.. just boiled, with NO salt or pepper. This time the chicken had no grill marks. It was literally boiled chicken. I am officially done ordering here. Very very disgusted. No one was able to eat it. Very stingy and small portions. The large sides are regular size anywhere else. Chicken pieces small. I ordered 12 piece chicken and 2 large side. All I ask for is extra sauces on the side. And they give me only 3... all this food and only 3 sauce on the side? How cheap are you people. Mind you the sauce is SO small, the 3 they gave me don’t even amount to one teaspoon of sauce. So ridiculous it’s laughable. Too much competition in the area to act like this. Go to Nandos or Galitos it’s much better.
Not the best food. We tried a bunch of different things, a grilled chicken burger, wrap, poutine, kabab, and even a platter. Every single thing was over flavoured and pretty spicy even for mild. The lemon / lime flavour was so strong it made some of the food not edible. Don’t really recommend them. Prices weren’t that cheap either. Try other places instead.
Service was good. Price was good. Food was okay. The flavors weren’t really noticeable. We had to use the bottled sauces to add flavor. Only the fried chicken had some sort of flavor to it. The onion rings were good though. It wasn’t oily as with most places. I think if they focus on making it more flavorful then this place can really be a great spot. Also the tables need to be cleaned more thoroughly. I give 5 stars because there was no terrible experience.
Had lunch here for the first time today. The chicken wrap had just the right amount of spice and the onion rings were nice and thick and not too greasy. The customer service was very friendly, some of best I've seen. I like the fact that you can have your meal mild, medium or spicy. There's even bottles of their Peri Peri sauce for sale too! The meat is also certified Halal. Overall, I had a great experience here for my first time trying South African style chicken. Please note, the quality of the meat is excellent. Don't expect fast food quality. You definitely get what you pay for. If you're expecting a large portion at a cheap price, then this wouldn't be the right place for you. The staff take their time preparing the food so it's just right. I'll definitely be back!
Good people, good food great price
Its a nice place for halal fast food. It has very tasty and fresh food.
Love their foods.
Had an awesome time Great food Definitely going back Food : 5/5

one of the best place to try real Peri Peri taste on your chiken. o man love it
really good
Amazing food and great service.
Great food, even better environment. No complaints from me
Chick fiesta has been our go to spot for a quick bite. Their service is great and the food is even better. Peri fries are so addicting and defo the best in the city. Ali is the guy to go to.
Today I came to pickup food I ordered from Uber eats , when I went to pickup food a new girl that recently joined I told her I ordered food on Uber eats for mahmood , she brought the food at the counter and started arguing with me rudely by saying give me the order number , I told her that it s my order if it wasn t how did I know the persons name ?? Makes sense right . But look at her level of incompetence she still argued with me , then I asked her to call the manager instead she asked her Moroccan or Arab co worker to come out and talk to me , she acted the same and in a rude and aggressive manner started arguing with me I kept on telling them it s my food if it wasn t I wouldn t have guessed the name , Instead she started laughing at me and kept on laughing and then in a cunning manner asked me what did u order give me all the details bc it could be anyone, indirectly implying that I m trying to steal the food . I told her I grew up in Markham and Lawrence my boys used to work at chick fiesta my dad knows the owners and I m a regular customer this isn t how u treat ur customers , she was still laughing at me as I took the food outside . I m very disappointed for this lack of professionalism and I ll also talk to the owners who r Pakistani like myself . I have decided I ll never come to chick fiesta ever again , I value my self respect more than dealing with unprofessional , untrained bipolar staff . Congrats to the owners for losing a loyal customer tdy next time I advise u guys to pls hire professional staff . I used to come here since I was a kid I would also ask the owners to take a look at the cameras and see for themselves how I was treated .
We love this location of Chick Fiesta! Love their spicy grill chicken and peri fries
Great spot to eat. Thanks for your good food.
Best food, service and extremely friendly staff. This is the only place my daughter eats. We order almost daily.
Amazing grilled while chicken Highly recommended Food
Food is really amazing at this place. Must try it.
Best taste, amazing service and wonderful ambience. Highly recommend to all my friends and family to visit Vegetarian options: Delicious Parking: Free parking available Kid-friendliness: Highly grateful Wheelchair accessibility: Well maintained
I buy food from this location often and always taste, quantity and quality of service are amazing.
I found the service was excellent. I enjoyed my Grilled chicken combo. Chick Fiesta is definitely on my places to eat list.
Very good
Very nice chicken
We threw around 4 pieces of chicken as they tasted bad, mushy and smelled bad. Its like old parts mixed to new. We ordered whole peri chicken with fries. Also we noticed the fries is not the same as before that is crusty and tasty. You up your prices but at least maintain the quality. I hope my son wont get stomach upset or I will continue with my complaint.
Found bees in my food roasted without sauce disgusting
The chicken is very tasty, with a very good flavor and a mix of good spices, and if you want chicken with flavor, which actually tastes delicious, then look no further. Highly recommend spot.
Loveee this place!!! Staff and owners are so sweet and the food hits the spot everytime!! Highly recommend if your looking for delicious peri peri food!
Food is good but the orders should be served faster
The service was amazing, so as the food. Taran gave us an excellent service and filled our stomachs as well as hearts. Must must visit
Crispy fried chicken, but oily. Gotta use the hot sauce because, otherwise, tasteless. Salty, yes. Tasty, no.
Raw crispy chicken, bad smell in beef burger. Theres bboyz next to it, go there instead
Good food....
It was osm.
I have been to Chick Fiesta, and i loved the chicken poutine it was amazing. Will definitely take my friends and family again.
Great food, fresh & tasty
I had the chicken sandwich and fries from here and they were delicious! The chicken was juicy and had an amazing sauce and the fries were seasoned so well! All the staff were incredibly nice, I will definitely be going again, 10/10!!
Well liked people, best chicken. They can improve their timing in preparing food. Parking: Good location and great staff. Very respectful.
Family loves this place. Good fried chicken. I usually do take out.
Small chicken wings, and I mean really small, and the chicken in general was burnt. All I tasted was burnt. If yall wanna send me a new order for free to give it a shot then sure but until then, keep your burnt chicken.
I ve been eating here since last 4 months months and i can say that that they have a unique taste is spice level of chicken. Ive also tried there zinger burger and i liked it alot. For far i d say that they are best in the game of grilled and fried chicken.
Ive tried there chicken nuggets and full grilled chicken and it was really good i d reccomend everyone to try it
delicious food and friendly staff
Quick service. Excellent food. Place is very clean.
We have being ordering from here since years. Ordered food on doordash and they forgot to add some items. On calling upon they said to complain on doordash and the merchant will provide refund through doordash. It has being a week but haven t got any updates and upon calling them they deny that anything like that ever happened.
Service is so bad garbage not doing as a coustmer says i was here been many times every time i m saying the about wht i want nd they says yes but i never get the thing which i want really so upset with this guyz services i have to stop going to restaurant to buy anything onwards
Yummy fresh food always and great customer service. Definitely going again and again
Worst food and service! Period.
just gotta shout out about their peri peri chicken and steak sandwich straight fire! Seriously torn between their peri peri chicken and steak sandwiches! The struggle is real because both are insanely good. I keep promising myself to venture out and try something new from their menu, but these sandwiches have me hooked
Nice flavour and the sauce is beautiful.
Chilli chesse fries are superb
Extremely rude staff. Not only was the service the worst I ve ever had, the food was less than mediocre. Save your $$ and go to Galitos.
Bought peri rice and recieved steamed white rice. Do not recommend
Dear @Sam T We saw the whole situation, I was there with my family. Ur bibi had a long discussion and argument with the owner where we she had apologized. It s a snowy day they had a carpet placed to prevent any slip and fall as well and had the big yellow wet floor sign placed that they clearly say was placed afterwards but it was always there. You guys are clearly bunch of spoiled brats crying about ur $400 coat that you have to get dry cleaned. Before she left she said something about brown people as if she wasn t clearly brown herself. She was kind enough to conclude the conversation by swearing. ALSO, she requested a refund, and the manager was gracious enough to give her a Christmas present of FREE FOOD in addition to the refund.Overall, great food and great people. I loved the food and would recommend people to try it out. EDIT: Im not sure what pathetic attempt youre referring to. Its unfortunate that you cant tell the difference between an owner and a customer. I was there with my family, and we all witnessed the entire event.
As a long term customer I m very disheartened , they put an old black dry piece of chicken neck in my chicken nuggets at the bottom of my chicken nugget bag. As well as a couple weeks ago I got chicken nuggets & I bit into it and there was literally plastic in the middle of my chicken nugget. I thought it was a mistake but today made it very obvious that it wasn t. Even some of the employees are rude & stingy with the serving amounts. Occasionally, I got a cut eye from employees which I find very disrespectful and rude. I used to enjoy going but I will never go again after this. This is a disheartening event.
Terrible customer service, rude staff. Food is mediocre.
Amazing experience! The staff is super kind and accommodating. We came late for an order pick up and he was so concerned about the onion rings going soggy that he made a whole new batch. Food was absolutely delicious!
0 Stars for this place now. We often go there for dine in and take out and have a few issues in the past regarding the food quality and quantity, I was letting it go but its just enough for me and my family this time. Last nite we were there for dine in, after placing an order for almost $73 the food and customer service we got was on its very lowest level. They forgot to serve us the drinks was included in the order and served us only the water after we requested, the water in the jug we would not even use in our washroom, water jug was so dirty that no one can drink water from it. When I reminded them about our drinks they were so busy to the extent that I have to wait a few minutes to get them but myself. There so called Zinger burger price is $7.99 plus tax and quality of it was horrible. I paid almost $12 plus tax for my sons steak sandwich which was made by expired bread which was breaking down eventually in small peaces and the meat inside wasnt even steak it was just filled with a few pieces of meat with some cheese and some veg thats all. When we complaint about the food the all we got it our chicken burgers replaced with same quality NOT even a zinger but just a small tiny kids chicken burger with very thin slice of normal chicken. NO steak sandwich was replaced. The lady who served us at the counter was polite with lots off apologies and blaming the persons working inside the kitchen who are just new people and dont bother what theyre cooking and serving to the people who are spending alot of money for just nothing. Poor quality Food and poor customer service. No recommendations for this place to go and spending precious time, expensive gas and hard earned money. Thank you.
Amazing chicken. The best i had in Canada.
The only thing I dont like about it is that theyve increased the price and I dont think Ill go again. I normally go for whole chicken and peri fries
Great service and food
This restaurant now under new management few times I noticed food not fresh
Ordered the Chicken burger and fries. The size was like a kids meal size. Wasnt worth the price. The chicken was very thin. Taste wasnt bad but I wont be going back again.
Great customer service and fresh food
Stingy portions and poorly cooked food that s either half raw or completely burnt, a scam of a place that preys on the the gullible who believes all the fake 5 star reviews, some rather impressive fraud going on here!
Absolutely LOVE this place! My family orders here at least twice a week. Their zinger burger, peri fries, spicy nuggets and poutine are some of our favorites. The food is always fresh and the staff is super friendly. I have family that come here from all over gta.
Food is meh the fries are soggy and the chicken isnt that good and food takes way to long to come out the quality has definitely gone down with the new management
Best chicken in Scarborough
Amazing food and good prices
The lady who served me was amazing. The fried chicken was ok. The peri peri fried was way to salty. The peri peri chicken was undercooked. So I regretted spending my money on it. But lessons learned, and at least I tried it and know I didnt like it.
Got chicken platter. $19.20 with tax. Good portion size. Taste also blessed. Quick service Dietary restrictions: Halal
Good tasty food. A little on the expensive side.
Why say you close at 11 if you close earlier than that?
Good food. Place can use a little update but the service and food was good. Would go back.
Really good food not oily at all portions great ! Fair prices hope they don t raise their prices
Small place but good flavored chicken at decent pricing.
Food is great, Specials were good to. Recommended
If you want fresh and healthy food, consider visiting Chick Fiesta in Scarborough. They have other locations but the one in Scarborough is worth the experience.
Amazing food
The worst restaurant I have ever been to. To have a horrible atmosphere is one thing The food may make up for that. But to also have bad food? Why do you continue to run. My zinger burger had hair in it. And the chicken wasn t properly cooked. Ridiculous. And then you have locked bathrooms? Extremely embarrassing.
One of my favorite grilled Piri Piri chicken spots in Scarborough. They never disappoint with the spice, the flavor, and chicken well cooked to the bone. Highly recommend!!
My experience was very good. I love this restaurant. There new fish burger tastes really good .Everybody should try it.
Their spicy grilled chicken is literally inedible. Their fries feel like boiled carrots. The cashier girl was polite but the food is poisonous.
Amazing experience and amazing food love it the girl at the front is super friendly and amazing
Not good as before Even chicken pcs also r so small really Im surprised prices r high no fries not good taste. As before their service taste everything was excellent but now I dont understand. If your prices r high food also will good.
The service is horrendous. This is my third time going there and they have disappointed me every single time. The food was good for the price and that was the only reason I kept returning, but the woman at the counter was unbearable. I guess she is the owner s wife. Not just me, on my third and final visit I saw her fighting with another customer who couldn t put up with this woman s nonsense.
Soo yummy peri peri chicken
Only place I feel comfortable eating peri chicken grilled.
The food was very bad The chicken not cooked the way it should be maybe too old very bad Quality when you bite it, it was like rock I ll never go there again my 50 dollars just went to the garbage no one ate it
Amazing food
Update as of November 2023: I dont know why restaurants cant take feedback and become so defensive and question MY honesty. I ordered a whole chicken and did NOT receive a whole chicken. Describing how you prepare your food and the process behind every order does not cancel out the fact that you did not add the correct amount of pieces that I ordered. And asking me to let you know how to serve my chicken is just nonsense LOL. I dont even know what that has to do with my review. And I stand by the fact that two microscopic sauces is not enough for a whole chicken + a large side of fries. Update: Do not order with them on uber eats. I ordered a whole chicken, did not receive a whole chicken + got random pieces (no chicken thighs for example) and a bunch of wings???? Ordered peri fries and got plain fries. I m giving it this rating because I find it a little strange that they give you one single mini peri sauce container when you order a whole chicken and large side. And when I asked for more peri sauce, he said he would have to charge! I just wouldn t come back, because other peri peri chicken places have no issue providing more sauce, especially with such a huge order. You shouldn t have to pay extra for sauce, especially when you re given ONE (singular). Also when I asked for extra sauces she said it s in the chicken LOL... obviously it s in the chicken!!!! It s called a SIDE sauce In addition, it seems like they don t really give you a whole chicken and the portions are small
The peri peri fries were drenched in salt, couldnt even eat more than a few fries had to throw it out.
Though tasty was not impressed by what I saw . Not throughly a Portuguese restaurant even though claim to be Parking: I looking for a Portuguese restaurant . This wasnt
Service: Attentive staff and prompt service contributed to a seamless dining experience. Signature Dish: The peri-peri chicken was a standout perfectly grilled, succulent, and bursting with flavor. The array of peri-peri sauces allowed for a personalized spice level. Sides: Crispy peri-peri fries complemented the main dish excellently. They have great side options to choose from. Overall Impression: Chick Fiesta earns five stars for its exceptional peri-peri chicken, attentive service, and a well-rounded dining experience. A must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking bold flavors in a welcoming ambiance
The food taste is truly exceptional, with each dish showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The culinary experience exceeded my expectations, making it a delightful dining choice.
Tried Zinger burger and Grilled Chicken, and really loved the taste and the environment.
Best Portuguese chicken in Scarborough.
their sandwiches go crazy, makes me act up
The food used 2 b very good... serving size as well... but not anymore.... pls work on your quality n serving size
They are serving customers without masks.. and Ontario daily cases are over 18000. And they dont F care about that.
Both burger and grilled chicken were delicious
Burgers are too good especially Zinger
Very tasty food
Not a fan of peri peri. Good service
I am a regular here.. often order from Uber eats.. but disappointed this time.. Ordered 2 chicken burgers and 2 wraps.. burgers were good.. but the wraps pathetic.. had ordered 1 hot and 1 suicide.. but there was no trace of sauce in either of them.. it was worse than mild.. Disappointed
The tase was good and fresh. Really like the customer service.
We ordered whole big chicken for 20$ but we got only 8 tiny pieces. We asked before place the order and we got confirmed it s a whole chicken which shows as per the picture. Called them to inquire about it the person who answered the phone started shouting in filth cx service is really poor. Guys don t get caught for these type of poor places they just lie you to sell their food . They just need only money and I m so disappointed since we wanted to buy a whole chicken and that s the main reason we ordered this .
I got food poisoning from this place
These people cannot follow simple instructions. Cannot follow allergy advice. I would not recommend at all. The owner also has a bad attitude when you complain. Try something else instead
Nice place to eat.
Up
Always good
Ordered from this place this weekend... For $47 I ordered 2 whole chicken a large potatoes and large rice... They gave me 16 pieces of chicken 10 potatoes and 1 cup of rice... What a rip off!
One of my favorite chicken places
The chicken ooh me , taste just like Nando s and a notch higher . The portions are really large and the spice level is really cool . Made it my to go place for lunches now there daily special is well priced too
Food was great, service was very slow
Peri peri chicken and fries really good.
Great food. Offer peri pri sauce in four degrees. Lemon (mild), medium, hot and suicide. Have chicken battered or grilled, burgers steak sandwich, rubs and sides.
Took long time to serve
Indeed the peri-peri lived up to its name . I had to dine in to enjoy every bite
its fast food after all, try their Peri Peri Chicken burger
Peri Peri steak sandwich was so good...
I had to stop to get some lunch late one afternoon. I chose this place. To say that I regret this choice is an understatement. I paid almost $15 for onion rings, a can of coke, and the worst chicken sandwich (called Zinger chicken sandwich) Ive ever had. The onion rings were fine. Hard to mess that up. The chicken sandwich was less than half the size in terms of the chicken breast than what you would get at Popeyes. The chicken was so thin that it felt like I was just eating the top, skin layer of a piece fried chicken. Sad looking stale bun on this sandwich. Toppings were lacking as well. Hardly any tomato and lettuce. No zing to be found. I left this place feeling underfed and ripped off. This place is more expensive than the chain I mentioned earlier, and the food is of far lower quality. Lesson learned I guess.... Still sad though when you take a chance on a smaller business and they really dont care......
I got an offer from the location and it requires me to use an app call Cloudamart. The app has major glitches for example not letting to create an account efficiently (waited 20-30 minutes to create an account because a code would not send through sms) and not being able to choose the pick up option so my $10 coupon basically was useless since I d have to pay for delivery (the offer said I could pick it up)
Might just be the best lemon piripiri I have ever tasted!!
Medicore Place. Needs more cleaning. Taste is no where near real Peri Peri Portuguese Chicken. Fries might be from Costco, the real classic ones which you can make better at home.
My first time there today. Ordered the 4 piece chicken for $12 & change. I got 2 small drumsticks & 2 thighs. From the picture, looks like youre getting the whole leg as 1 piece. Nope! And very oily for so-called grilled chicken .
Tried a peri chicken burger for the first time last night, it was a life changing experience. Chicken was cooked to perfection and the peri sauce was absolutely euphoric
I ordered a peri peri chicken 15 minutes before I came to pick it up and when I picked it up and came back home with it, it was cold as ice and was not fresh so I decided to call the restaurant and they would not give me an apology or refund
We ve been coming to this location for so many years and they don t disappoint. The girls at the front desk as well as the server, Maaz have excellent customer service skills. The food is always great!
Best chicken in town! Quality is always great and our go to for birthday parties, large gatherings, and anytime we crave grilled or fried chicken. Owners are great and offer customized catering options.
The food quality was okay. No where near to Nando s. Also, order sequence and management is challenging. Need to improve the management and also need to educate the customers too.
We ordered food for our sons 5th Birthday for Sat. August 27 and it was absolutely delicious. Excellent food and phenomenal service. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Fatima for everything.
I ordered a burger and it was bland; I had to add hot sauce to make it taste like something, and the portion was small for the price. The staff is extremely friendly and clean dine-in, but the portion sizes and prices, particularly for combo meals, should be improved.
Amazing staff and very tasty food
We spent about 75 dollars as a team and let s just say this turned our thanksgiving into a nightmare. I know Halloween is coming up but the scariest thing was the way the chicken was prepared. The lemon sauce wasn t the best and the fries were stale. You needed a lot of ketchup to eat these fries. Go to nandos instead.
Service is very slow and the place is very messy. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Awful service. Im very disappointed that they prioritised other customers that came after me and forgot my order. I lost my appetite due to how slow they serve my meal
Gentle people who served, chicken so delicious I loved it try it
Food was not cooked or boiled properly. A number of items from the menu were not available. Staff was clueless
Best flame grilled chicken that will give you a Nando like experience. Fries and everything are amazing at this place. Worth a stop by to eat for sure.
The best grilled chicken and Peri Fries in the world. Lots of seating available and plenty of parking.
Parking: lots of parking available Wheelchair accessibility: on the ground floor easy accessibility Food : 3/5 |
Hands down the best grilled chicken ever
HMA certified
Amazing! Better than nandos and excellent portion sizes.
Grilled chicken burger, cole slaw & medium spice peri peri thighs- loved it.
Ive been passing by this place for years. Finally I went in I wished I did years earlier! The chicken (I had the 1/2 chicken.) was off the chart!!! Moist (they marinate their chickens), seasoned on point at a prices that cant be beat ($15.00 for a 1/2 chicken, with fries and a bottle of water. Ill definitely be going back I can see myself being a regular.
Try chicken samosa
How do you serve this to your customers? Ive been a loyal customer for years but enough is enough. How as a business do you serve this? Do you not have any common sense? Or any credibility?? I should drive back and have you eat this burnt garbage. You have on multiple occasions provided double fried French fries and now this. Absolutely disgusting. Thank you for stealing my money. I will never frequent your business and I will forward this to everyone I know. Thanks for nothing!
The food used to be delicious, I have been going for years now. But for the past few times the food is really bad. Specially the fries. They are stale to the point that they are not worth eating
