Peri Peri Original-Southend in Southend-on-Sea

Was all cold and burger was missing

Food was great and after I placed my order the restaurant rang to double-check a request I’d put through. Great service, thank-you.

Very slow greasy food and customer service very poor and took it back said if don’t get refund I will take it further and got it back

Came cold sauce spilled in my bag again

Order said it was ready to collect at 4.15pm, as soon as I walked in, I was told the order couldn't be done by this time. Didn't get my order until 4.55pm.

Ordered a Chicken tikka meal with Swap peri fries. The amount of fries was close to nothing. Absolute disgrace

my order was missing fries. was expected to pick the fries up from the takeaway even though I had paid for it to be delivered. the employees response was maybe the driver had taken it out? how very unprofessional. I ordered the meal for my children. not acceptable at all.

Rude and arrogant behavior, Not empathetic or compassionate for the children. Please Ignore when possible.

Ordered family bucket but didn’t get the 4 fries.

Soggy chips and onion rings. Order appeared ready and wasn’t for an extra hour past.

Service was atrocious when we walked in the shop was empty we chose our food sat down the service was extremely slow then another person walked in, he served the customer first then gave us a few items from our order. Then another customer walked in the waiter forgot about our order and we waited then reminded the waiter he still hadn’t finished serving us our food. When the food arrived it was served on floppy white plates and no extra sauce was offered we had to ask for forks, chilli sauce and the salad that was offered with the meal deal. After a long day of the beach this was a horrible place to go. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

They served the food on paper plate and plastic fork, no knife. The staff was very rude and unprofessional. Horrible service. Definitely not going back.

Too salty. Bothe the fries and the chicken wings

our order was never delivered and could not get through on the phone, phone just kept cutting off. terrible

We ordered a platter but it was missing the pitta bread and salad. Not the best chicken we have had. Wouldn't return sorry.

Spent hundreds on this place over the years but the last 5 times the food has been poor. Had some weird soggy vegetables in my peri burger which was new and not what I wanted, usually comes with lettuce. Chicken was dry and we were missing all the sauces. Not sure why it’s gone downhill it used to be great. Won’t be ordering again unfortunately. Benfleet one is much better

Gelato shake, is the worst i ever had! Ordered 1 gelato skake and 1 Shake bar and both of them were literally milk with blended oreo. Burgers use to be top notch, meat tasted off and the sauce was just to much over the burger! Disappointed, wont order again.

fries arrived cold & one portion was wrong. Gelato shake arrived as a watery normal milkshake

Service was efficient and friendly with a good overall atmosphere in the restaurant however the food often came out raw, cold and greasy.

Ordered from here many times and never had a problem. Must have been busy today as I was missing 1 piece of chicken and given more hot wings instead. The fries were a little burnt. One of them was missing peri peri salt too so didn’t have much flavour. Never usually bad I suppose it’s easy to get things wrong when it’s busy

Food was delicious, hot on delivery

Forgot chicken strips, called up and they said I'd called the wrong branch, called the only number on just eat, put the phone down on me and never answerd again. would not order again, food that we did get was dismall

Food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering and was fresh! Very impressed

I was deeply disappointed with the food quality and taste during my initial visit to the shop. I ordered a 1/4 chicken meal with a drink and rice, and the shopkeeper suggested adding fries to make it a meal, which I accepted. However, upon returning home, I realized they had forgotten the fries and provided the wrong drink, yet still charged me the full amount. When I called to address the issue, they seemed disorganized and couldn't identify my order properly. The food tasted unpleasant, and this experience has discouraged me from returning. Improvement in customer service skills is much needed

fries portions are diabolical barely any in the bag

Paisd for a double got a single

Get takeaway from here quite often. I order in advance and the food is always ready. Everything freshly cooked and the staff are always friendly.

Very unhygienic - witnessed the man serving touching his phone, hair and god knows what else before touching food and raw meat then burger buns 🤢 walked straight out and ordered elsewhere!!!

Never received, after an hour late contacted the restaurant who said was cooking it and would be with me in 20 minutes, never received

The fried chicken and wings were really tasty.

It says order delivered but I haven’t received it

Food was great as always! Delivery only took 30 min, really quick especially for a Friday evening

This place does not have a working phone line in which case if you have any issues order or food related your not going to be able to contact them, absolutely annoying!

Order didn’t even turn up. Avoid

Terrible delivery times and food was practically cold, had to call the restaurant and they said i gave the wrong address which i didn't and then said i probably called the wrong restaurant to which i didn't either.

The food was straight bussin no cap. I have no complaints except that I didn't tip the driver.

Ordered from here and they pretty much messed my order up what I did have left out of what I ordered was bland and tasteless would definitely not order again from here could say it was the worst take away I’ve ever had 🤢

Ordered food in person to only get home to find 2 portions of chips missing and a portion of chicken missing will be contacting my bank to retract payment

The evening was really depressing. Since we are staying in Westcliff-on-Sea, there aren't many options for restaurants serving Indian food. We decided on the 'Vibes Of India' Peri-Peri in order to try something different, and we got Hydrabi Chicken Dum biriyani, a chicken fillet, a Veggie burger, etc. All of these had really poor flavours. Even if the restaurant appears to be clean, we cannot assume that every employee is doing so. Toilet was "Out of Order" and there were no tissues or dryers visible next to the handwashing station. We self-served two hamburgers and one sachet of ketchup. We can see the notice board because we asked to keep the tray in place so we could clear up the garbage after eating.

He was picking his nose with his hand while cooking the food. I didn't like it at all. Hygiene is very important to me.

I have always been an avid fan of this place and their peri peri is one of the best flavours in UK. But recently they started an Indian section called Taste of India and they serve by far, some of the best curries I have ever tasted. We had the Chicken Biriyani, Lamb Biriyani, Butter chicken and Paneer Butter Masala. The biriyani’s were good, I preferred the chicken biriyani and my husband liked the lamb better so it’s a preference thing. But the curries were both amazing in taste, particularly the paneer Butter Masala is one of the best curries I have had in my life. The food also had very good portion sizes. We ordered one of each, shared them for dinner and even took back home, had it for lunch the next day.

Ordered peri peri chicken wings. Found 2 issues. Taste and price. Both are worst. Taste wise it's not even close to peri peri chicken and price is high too. Floor and toilet both are dirty. Not recommend.

Delicious! Generous peri salt on fries (but not too much) and super fresh too.

Nice to visit this place Good food friendly service

It's nice food and very clean, staff are nice and there is tables

Vibes of india The food was extremely delicious lamb&chicken ultimate taste and the staters so nice.peri peri mixed plater was delicious with good quality and quantities

This place is disgusting. I will never again order from here. The man serving my partner was having a full on domestic with his wife in the shop, rude. The food itself was hanging. Piri piri my arse. Chk was just saturated in a tasteless spicy mayo. I asked for salad in my chk pitta n got 3 slimy small square of lettuce. For some reason known only to them they put processed cheese in my chk pitta which was so soggy it made me feel sick. The rice was biriyani flavour n dry n horrible. If I'd wanted indian takeaway I wood of ordered a indian. No coleslaw available. This place should be shut down. They are clueless. The only creature that would enjoy this food n I use the word food losely, would be a bottle fly💩🤮💩🤮💩🤮. Avoid at all cost. VOM

Great food good value for money excellent service

Should have read the reviews prior to ordering food from this place. Please read reviews. Really not happy with the food. No taste bland and chicken was smelly like it had gone off. Peri peri chicken had no sauce. Never again.

Great food was happy and will return

The chicken was tough and could not eat it Will not order it again

Impressive, thank you and see you soon for more!

Good wasn’t cooked properly and part of my order was missing. Wont be coming here again.

High prices can be justified if the food tastes good but the food here is beyond poor.

Food was late, chicken was dry, Won’t be ordering again

Poor service rude staff will not go there again

Meat isn't cooked properly and food deserves bin more than my stomach

Delicious food. Chicken biryani was amazing.

All of our milkshake spilt in the bag so we’ve paid for 2 milkshakes and haven’t got any.

Food was tepid . Chips looked like they were refried and cold. Chicken was dry

Accepted order, called them when it didn’t arrive, they didn’t answer so I called again and they turned there phone off and said it was delivered on app, still don’t answer phone Worst service I’ve ever had DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!

I ordered a double chicken breast pitta only received 1 chicken breast, disappointed 😔

Always really good. Let us know if going to be a little late etc, gorgeous food with so much flavour. The chips were a bit cold this time but this doesn’t happen often.

Very nice food and worm food thanks

One of our favourite places, much better portion sizes this time too

Chips were fine but the chicken pieces were very very dry. Like they had stayed in the hot box for far to long

25 minutes late and food was freezing when it arrived . Normally lovely food but all needed reheating

My text arrived as I walked through the door at 1800 to tell me my food was ready for collection. I just had to wait a couple of minutes for them to put it in the bag. The food is always excellent, lovely and hot and freshly cooked

Always great food. However this evening we had no drinks delivered and delivery driver very flippant about it.

Pitta was dry No cheese on the chips

I always order from.here great value & taste

The chips were the best we’ve ever had from here!!! All the food was hot & just as nice as always. Thank you

Delivery didn’t arrive on time so called the restaurant and was told it was out for delivery. Had to call them a second time and was then told it went 40 minutes ago. So, when the food finally arrived, we had to re-heat in the microwave as it was cold. Very disappointed.

Forgot some of the order, rang up to tell them and they told me someone would be on their way, hour and 15 minutes later still nothing, rang up again and was told they won't send a driver as they are to busy, asked for a refund and was told only just eat can refund me, was told I could have some free chips next order which is irrelevant as I won't be ordering again !!

Where is my food???????? Not even delivered. Won’t answer the phone. Awful company. I want a full refund.

In a word- terrible. I placed an order, estimated delivery came and went. At 18:44 order updated as “ on the way” at 19:02, no order had arrived but app this updated as “ delivered” I rung the restaurant- who told me driver was just around the corner. 19:30 still nothing- re-rung the restaurant and after explaining THEY HUNG UP ON ME!! Tried to call back and no answer! Good then arrived at 19:38- STONE COLD! The delivery driver was apologetic for being late- advised that the restaurant is only 2 guys that evening and we’re taking on far too many orders. This would explain the terrible service. Food was inedible and ended up in the bin- complete waste of time and money.

Nice guy behind the till . 3 bits of chicken and large chips with sauce . Chicken was cooked nicely 👍🏼

Completely wrong order, you can tell that they just went over the road and bought random chicken products (that I didn't order) from Aldi. Completely pathetic excuse for a take away honestly the worst I've ever had. Also, the delivery driver was so stupid I wonder how he gets dressed in the morning. 0/10 I will NEVER waste my money here again.

Really enjoyed the meal I picked up last night. Lovely chicken wrap with lemon and herb sauce. My 2nd order from them and no complaints..would definitely eat from there again

No point in looking at the menu, you get what they fancy sending you and then they ask "what do you want me to do about it?" when you call to say you got the wrong items at your door. Customer service is poor.

Food missing 2 item.

Wrong chips and no sauce delivered

Please don’t ask me to enjoy my food because it hasn’t arrived

Good but over priced for its location.

The food was over an hour late, I was offered part refund when it was half hour into the late delivery, then it was an hour I was trying to call the resturant over 20 times and they didn’t answer once. My daughter fell asleep so didn’t have any dinner and when the food finally arrived it was cold. No refund at all. Not happy.

They forgot my child's meal then when I phoned up they said they would send it still sat here waiting 40 mins later for them to tell me it will still be another 15 minutes told them I didn't want the food anymore as I had been waiting too long and I wanted a refund for the meal and I got hung up on don't order from here with these rude employees

Chicken was dry. Chips moist. It went in the bin total waist of money

worst food if u want waste your money order it. and my bin was enjoyed tha food

Good food but rediculous delivery

We used to highly rate this place before but unfortunately it’s gone downhill since we last ordered. Todays order wasn’t great. The Chips had a bitter after taste - like they had been fried in old oil or refried. We ordered 3 Tangos and 1 7up - the 7up was missing. On a positive note, the Gourmet Burgers were really tasty as were the Kids Cheeseburgers. We enjoyed the burgers very much.

Tried fillet burger meal with wings, food was delicious & fresh, very soft bun, definitely recommended

Took way over an hour to arrive even though it's less that 5km away & food tasted awfully bad🫤

Ordered at 17:55pm and it was estimated to be delivered for 18:40-19:00 and I got a notification saying it was out for delivery at 19:00. It got to 19:30 and I called the restaurant and he was rude, just kept telling me it was out for delivery. 19:50 the food showed up and it was cold .

Food says delivered but hasn’t come

The food has not even arrived we been waiting over and hour now

Excellent as usual, friendly deliveryman. =)

Soggy chips is a no no also not enough piri piri shake on chips,I will try one more time. And then not order again if the same

Order delivered over an hour late. Ordered a family bucket of chicken, fries and coleslaw. Fries were stone cold and coleslaw pot was busted so coleslaw had leaked out so unable to eat. Chicken was at least cooked and warm. However got Southend fried chicken so what was the point of ordering from Peri Peri. Would never order from here again.

Used to be amazing and ordered most weeks. But last 2 times they burnt the food. Rock-like. And missed items. Haven’t been again. Want the old peri peri original back 😢

45mins late, cold food despite them assuring us that ours would be delivered first? Really disappointing, as we were given the same excuse as last order when it too arrived late-delivery was sent to the wrong house. But once we reheated the food in the air fryer, it was good, and restaurant gave us 1 free can of drink 🤷🏻‍♀️ need to work on time.
