Grilled chicken marinated with South American inspiration

*Effective* lunch spot, if you want good meat with some carbs then this is ideal. The chicken box and sauce is great and with a great choice of sides (rice, veg, potatoes). Very quick service even with a long queue and seating available inside. Nothing to particularly rave about, you can get a more interesting lunch for the same price range but can’t knock it!

Workers were surly and a bit exasperated that we didn't know how to order. Strange setup with marinated chicken dishes on one side, sandwiches on the other. Confusing when you have a larger party who orders both. All the seating was gross - sticky tables all around. Cuban sandwich was alright. Other things like the chicken sandwich was soggy and had lots of skin and fat - it is hard to eat when you are picking through the sandwich each bite. Lettuce was mildly wilted. Kids didn't enjoy dissecting their meal before eating it. Bathroom was unacceptable - no paper towels, dirty.

One of the popular places to get lunch from in the city. If you’re after 12 expect a queue but it does go quickly.

The chicken is great and I usually go for a regular with veg and potato. The potato is often under or overcooked. You can get rice and salad so I should probably opt for one of those instead :)

The chicken isn’t really peri peri. But it is very tasty! Then there’s the magic green sauce you can see in the pot. Whack that over the top of the food and it takes the dish to a whole new level.

You can eat in but I’ve never eaten in. Only take away.

It’s a great place to eat.

South American cuisine. It gets crazy busy during lunch. Which shows its popularity. They close early. Around 5, plus run out of dishes so be quick. Theyve put their prices up recently. But so has many places. The price has put it into the treat section rather than a go to place for me now. Bit it's a v good treat. Pictured. The Patacones sandwich. Pulled beef covered by plantain as buns. Next level stuff. Highly recommended.

The chicken has a lot of skin and the fajita vegetables are just shredded cabbage covered in a sauce that’s neutral tasting at best. For the price I recommend instead Farmer J, Chipotle, or Nando’s. This place feels like a cheap and lower quality substitute

Chicken is Halal and HFA certified. Pork is served but prepared and handled separately to prevent cross-contamination.
