Wouldn't go here again got an upset stomach. Fried chicken isn't nice. Chicken didn't seem fresh. Never again better options down cov road at better prices

The service is not great.. used the kiosk to order as the girl behind the counter didn't seem like she wanted to serve us and said paying card use the kiosk.. and also option on there for sauces chargeable so someone who wants a sauce would pay, but they give you a couple sauces with your meal.. so you would pay £1 for sauces not knowing they give you 2 free witj meal.. wouldn't say a spotless place.. floor needed some cleaning. i could see dirt under the sofa seats.. the food wasn't good.. the burger was so dry.. fries not hot like they are when freshly fried.. the burrito wrap had more rice than the chicken.. and dry when paid to make it saucy and paid for extra cheece.. I didn't even have any cheese in the burrito.. I'm disappointed for my first visit here.. I doubt i would come to a rio piri piri again to eat..

Very very rude owner/manager. Needs to go back to school and learn his manners. Never coming here again. I advise everyone who values their self respect to do the same.

Disgusting customer service. Been ordering from here for the kids since it opened. Ordered a platter with mango and lime flavour and was sent extra hot. Clearly not suitable for the kids and when I rang them got a rude response that I couldn't take the heat and then they hung up. No other remedy was offered. When money is more important than principle then how can you trust anything else from this place.

This is my regular Rio’s and they always make the order perfect, this time round the food was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. There chicken and rice and half chicken is much much better then the bigger and more well known establishments. It’s not often I leave reviews but I think it’s fair I left one this time as people only ever leave a review when the foods not great and want to complain but I have to say this was amazing.

My recent experience here was not good. I have been to this restaurant few times since I live very close. Normally, I would order quarter chicken or half chicken, chicken & rice with hot flavour everytime. It used to be good as they take time for preparing it. But recently, I visited it when the restaurant was about to close in 6 minutes and I still asked them if I can place an order. They said yes and I placed an order for a quarter chicken (Mango and Lime flavour for the first time). They literally rushed to prepare it and as a result, the chicken had no flavour and tasted so worse. Sauce was still sticking like a liquid all over the chicken, not properly grilled. My suggestion is please don't take orders if it's near the closing time and you can't prepare them in a proper way. Customer satisfaction should be of extreme importance to you and it's better to have the final orders taken before 11.15PM so that it can be cooked well before 11.30PM. Note: Prices are also slightly higher when compared to other piri piri restaurant chain like pepe's

By far the best grilled chicken shop in Birmingham, better than Pepes, Merigos. Food was received piping hot and flavour was amazing. Chicken was sauced properly unlike most grilled chicken shops. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Staff were friendly and the store was extremely clean.

I recently visited Rios Sheldon, and I must say, I was genuinely impressed. The food was fresh, flavourful, and exactly what you’d expect from a well-run Piri Piri Shop. I ordered A ‘Mighty Kofta and the kids had some burgers too, and it was prepared perfectly hot, tasty, and served quickly. The staff were friendly, professional, and clearly working hard to keep the place running smoothly despite how busy it was. It’s clear this is a fast-food place that values its customers and puts effort into delivering quality. Now, I also noticed some of the reviews this place has received, and honestly, they’re laughable. It seems some people go out of their way to complain about trivial issues or post unreasonably harsh feedback. Let’s be real, this place delivers exactly what it promises: great food, fast service, and a clean, welcoming environment. To those writing negative reviews for minor issues, maybe take a moment to reflect on your harsh and laughable reviews. We live in a world where we can’t wait to put a bad review just because we had a small issue – when you say staff are rude (I have never experienced that at Rios Sheldon) – how good is your attitude towards the staff in the first place – we treat workers like ‘dirt’ and then expect flowers in return – bloody hypocrites. We leave food and trays/plates on table and expect the staff to clean as if you are dining in a top restaurant – if a person doesn’t have the decency to pick up his/her rubbish and put that in the bin – one thinks, how do you eat at home then? This team works hard, and they deserve credit for the effort they put in. I’ll definitely be coming back. Keep up the great work, Rios Sheldon! and 'Thankyou' for being nice and welcoming to my children.

A restaurant with some of the rudest and most arrogant staff I've ever come across. The level of hygiene within the place is nauseating. *UPDATE TO OWNERS RESPONSE* Hi, I'm not sure if you had Columbo or Inspector Closeau investigating this matter but let me help lay out some facts for your benefit. - Correct we had to have the tables cleaned a number of times because after each pathetic attempt they were still DIRTY with stains on. - The WC was in an absolutely disgusting state to begin with. I'm baffled how we were supposed to have flooded it given they were out of order. If you're going to fabricate claims at least make it plausible. - the shop floor had bones and food underneath our table as we entered which was not cleaned. The only spillage we had was a little bit of rice on the table. - It may be helpful to give you some context as to why the male lead approached your staff - who I presume is your shift manager. Throughout the entire evening his behaviour towards my family was obnoxious which we let slide. However the final straw was when the males left the restaurant he made a snide remark to one of the females in our group. This led to the need to speak and hold him to account for his despicable behaviour. - as for the need for intervention from other staff members, you may want to ask your investigator whether this was to calm us down or the shift manager himself who squared up to us and said I quote "come and speak to me alone". Another prime example of the wonderful service to be offered at your venue....a punch up to go with insulting behaviour. I would recommend you read through the consistent feedback your establishment has received in respect of poor customer service. Your response to them come across as either you're entirely delusional, creative with the truth or in complete denial. Some may even say arrogant and rude.

Ordered legs and thigh pcs in the platter as we aren't keen on breast or wings pcs, as I appreciate probably not every piece would be legs or thighs, but every single one was breast, I called and spoke to a lady who was quite rude and told me that was all they had and didn't want to waste it, so just sent it anyway without even calling us, so it's OK for the customer to waste the food because they are paying obviously, won't be ordering again. and your chips are rubbish not like they used to be.

Most rubbish service ever!. MY sister accidently called this place to order some food, not realising it's not the right branch. They answered with only "Hello Rios". After reaching the right branch we realised we'd ordered at the wrong branch. My sister called up the wrong branch just to let them know. Instead the man was being rude and he was like "it's impossible to order at the wrong branch, it's not about the sorry, now the foods gone to waste, I'm giving you a chance to come and collect it". Wonder where they learn their manners and respect or training if they even get any!

We always order family feast on uber eats. Yesterday we went to the shop for dine in and ordered family feast to be honest it was peak hour we thought we would get food 15 20 mins but guess what we got our order in 5 mins its actually fast food. Chicken and wings were so fresh. No comments for their gravy it was absolutely insane far better than kfc or other fried chicken shops. Great service from Bengali brother sorry I cant remember his name. I asked this brother about the chicken, wings and other stuff he said everything is fresh hand slaughtered from hmc certified factory. Requesting all the brothers and sisters at least once visit or try this place from home. Thank you
