Rio’s Piri Piri in Southampton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My favourite place to eat in or take out no body can beat there grilled chicken in whole off Hampshire highly recommended to every chicken lover

Amazing piri piri sauce. I’ve never had one with turmeric in it before. Food was well priced.

Great service and delicious food.

Absolutely delicious! I popped into this lovely presented restaurant spontaneously after a hard week’s work! Looking for a treat to say thank you to myself! I work shifts and don’t get back to Southampton until after 23:20pm. There is not much ever open or still serving at that time! I have to say I am so impressed! Every restaurant has their own spin on how they present their food and sauces and of course not every restaurant will be the same, so appreciating different takes on food is my way of experiencing something I have never had before! After all we can’t compare ourselves or anything these days! For me myself and my experience it was excellent!! The only thing I would have liked different is the chicken to be a lot more succulent which I hope will be taken as constructive criticism. Thank you for a great first experience of tasty, well presented food with staff that really do care and that is hard to find! Keep it up! 😊

Taste was good, good staff, must be vist

Food is great, especially the platter options, the service lets the place down, confrontational staff who often cause problems.

I have been ordered food by uber eats .they gave my main meals but they didn’t give extra slides which i paid

amazing service loved the experience.

The food is excellent however the portions aren't great and it's massively overpriced compared to its competitors.

Best Chicken Rice Box in Southampton. Also a very clean facility. 5/5

I really liked the chicken options here. We tried the original chicken (Extra hot) and sticky wings - honey and garlic. The taste was super. Being a spice lover, I really enjoyed the extra hot sauce they provided. Piri Piri fries were normal. I would recommend trying Rio's Piri Piri.

Best chicken shop in Southampton. Glad to know it’s All Halal. Best burgers and grill chicken. Their fries are 10/10 . Friendly staff and excellent customer service.

Best piri piri in Southampton, great portions and the staff are always friendly.

Food is so flavourful and the staff are very nice

I love this place, very good customer service as well

I would say it's the best fast food I've ever had. I ate it at least once a week.

Really good quality food, been multiple times and the server knew my order and exactly what I wanted before I even said it after like the 3rd time Crazy good service and the guy is so nice 10/10 on price food and service

Amazing food and service. Everyone is very attentive and kind

Great food, service, speed, cleanliness! Best chicken shop in all of Southampton!!

A lot of the piri piri places round here leave a lot to be desired when it comes to flavour and spice. Not Rio's, their extra hot flavour chicken is bloody fantastic!

The staff are really welcoming, and the food is tasty, but I've got to dock only two star because the prices are high! £20 for 6 pc chicken + 3 wings? The same size platter was just £16 in London a few days ago (Sam's Chicken 2xCombo NW10 4SJ). Seems like this place is even pricier than London!

By far worst chicken shop in portswood. I only ordered a small amount and had to wait 15mins, then when it comes to taste it didn't taste fresh it was more like rubber than juicy.

Shoaib’s service is amazing. Great food.

Food is fresh and tasty also the staff are very friendly

Amazing food Lovely friendly staff. Good customer services. Mr. Nouman Mugheera Is really Welcoming and Energetic staff.

We went on google’s review and found halal and amazing food. Love it.

I had chicken double burger, it was a bit dry. Chips were ok but the mayonnaise was a bit runny. The tables were clean and the dining area. They had nice music on.

We have tried their beef burger and half peri peri chicken. The chicken was tasteless and tangy. They don't know how to cook peri peri chicken. The double pattie beef burger tasteless. The chips was delicious. They don't have proper cutlery for peri peri chicken. They keep some wooden cutlery at the counter. The wooden cutlery broken apart when I tried to cut the chicken. The mayonnaisaie and chilli sauce was so watery. This is the worst food place I have ever visited.

very delicious chicken and rice perfectly cooked with a large portion and the sauce is also outclass definitely coming here again

Great place, Delicious food and Awsome service

Best customer service and vibe with exceptionally tasy burgers

I came here for the first time and definitely don't regret it. Firstly the cleanliness and vibe of the restaurant was amazing and when trying to decided what to pick, Nouman who really patient with me recommended me some things. His service was outstanding and shocked me of how good he was. I ordered the beef burger and peri peri chicken wings. The taste topped my expectations. Definitely will come back :)

my hometown is in Australia but I just visited UK went to rio piri piri South hampton and the rest is that the best burgers in town and best chicken and rice. Had the most wonderful time and food. The atmosphere is so nice and very quick service. All the staff was very nice. Definitely coming here again and again. Recomend to everyone👍❤️ Served by :- Nouman a really friendly person💙

Great atmosphere, my favourite chicken shop in Southampton

Food is really delicious and the staff is very good

Absolutely delicious chicken, I only had the mild marinade it was plenty spicy enough for me, so much depth of flavour.The rice is very good too. Will definitely be going back.

6.10pm, Saturday 13 January 2024. Worst service ever! Called in and ordered a Diletto and fries and was told to collect in 10 mins. Went in and they hadn't even processed the order. Told it would be another 10-15 mins. When I explained it should have already been ready they said it would take 5 mins. Another 15 mins later it was finally handed to me when I asked the staff how much longer it would take. There was no explanation or apology from the staff for their mistake. I will never be going there again!!!!😡

loved the grilled chicken will be visiting over and over again now and also fast service

Great quality food and good service. However can be quite pricey for the portion but worth it for the quality of food. I would recommend if you're wanting 'Peri Peri' chicken.

Elite food, elite service, could not recommend enough.

I’m not rating one star as I don’t want to bring your rating down. Ordered 17.14pm today, I only wanted one extra sauce on top of the 2 included and you charged me extra one more hat I didn’t ask for and peri salt…That would be okay and acceptable if I didn’t have to wait 35mins for the food, 35mins wait whilst there’s one customer inside and 1 Deliveroo order.. My main gripe is that the meals were all cold, not even warm. I come weekly to Rios but today was a terrible experience… All the food was cold but the strips, couldn’t you prepare the food in accordance with the whole order being ready…

As someone who's been to all the Piri-Piri places in Portswood, I can definitively say that this is the best one. My go-to is usually the extra-hot chicken rice, which is juicy and full of flavour! A lot of places really skimp out on the sauce and the rice ends up very dry, but not with these guys. The wings are also nice and juicy. Service is relatively fast and the staff is very friendly. The only negative is that their trays are quite wobbly lol...

Brilliant food and staff are amazing

5 star there chicken is the best off the best always fresh tasty also top guys

It was a good experience, specially veg wrap with paneer ☺️

Food is Very toasty and fantastic 😍

Food is amazing and always cooked fresh! Great prices too and staff are very friendly. Highly recommend !

I have a really great experience with Rio Piri piri’s staff. They do amazing work and their behaviour with customers is too good. I’m really thankful to the whole staff of Rio Piri Piri

We didn't get the piri-piri but the fried chicken and burgers are your standard fare & pretty good Service is excellent and fast

Food was actually spicy, not mild, tastes great.

Amazing value for money. So tasty so much on plate. Most definitely reckoned. The owner brought our food up on delivery professional, very friendly. Thank you mister bmw 5s we enjoy are meal. Lot.

I just had whole chicken with chips and rice ,the food is very good , it has flavour, the lemon and herb is brilliant, I've tried a lot of places in Southampton but I personally think Rios Peei Peri is the best grilled place in Southampton at the moment. 👌

such great food and great service

This place is fantastic!” Rio's Piri piri👌 Friendly staff and probably the best cheese Burger.😊

I visit this place verygood taste try their chicken and rice

The service is really very impressive all staff are friendly in nature. And also Most of all the food I like. Highly recommended.

Solid chicken shop, pretty standard price for these days nice to pop in every so often for cheapish food

Best halal food in Southampton Everything is halal and delicious. Best halal burgers . Best halal chicken. Very delicious

The Grill wings were very testy.Highly recommend

Very nice taste outclass service & loyal & I love their food

Great service. Everyone is really nice. REALLY GOOD FOOD SO NICE!!

One of THE BEST burger places in Southampton and my regular go-to place to calm my spice cravings 😋The staff are lovely and always smiling. The atmosphere is great for visiting with friends and family or even for a meal alone. Menu and the Piri Piri flavours are mouthwatering and and won’t disappoint, best thing about this place is the Taste is always consistent 👌

have been here multiple times since the opening,extremely delicious food especially the tender chiken with great flavour really force me all the time to taste it again n again i would highly recommend those who didnt try it must visit and enjoy the food.

An excellent and clean branch. The food is halal and delicious. The indoor seating is comfortable and clean. The staff’s behavior is excellent. Its drawback is the high cost, as is the case in Britain in general.

Popped in for a Chicken Burrito, reasonably priced.

Very tasty food when you next go in ask for Shoaib he will make your food very nice

Excellent service, amazing food and wonderful ambiance. Very neat and clean... cherry on the top excellent customer service with a smile ,good mood and very co operative and suggestive. Such good experience, we will definitely visit again. One more impressive thing was area for washing hands before and after you eat..

Lemon chicken was very delicious 😋❤️

Best chicken and rice box in Southampton.

Nice place and lovely atmosphere

Great food and quick service. When they say spicy, they mean it. Really polite and courteous staff. Would highly recommend if you're in for a quick bite.

The food was amazing and had a perfect level of spice and freshness. Shoaib was an excellent host, very friendly and would recommend to try it out. AND THIS IS FROM A LATINO WHO LOVES SPICE AND SEASONING

Amazing service and food the peri peri chips are the best !

Food looks amazing. Will try in future.

Had a great experience at rio’s piri piri I ordered chicken wings there and i must say the taste was superb its not just about food but the dining , staff, atmosphere, ambiance was upscale overall experience was amazing will definitely want to visit again

Great place to eat, very friendly staff and brilliant food.

Excellent food and service. Really appreciated

Lovely food specially peri peri chicken 🐔 love that precious piece ❤ cooperative staff fully recommended

Chicken was great, boss is so friendly. Couldn't recommend enough.

Very good food highly recommended

I recently tried the chicken wrapster at this place, and I must say it's the best I've ever had! The flavors were outstanding, and it left me craving for more. And let's not forget about their fries – they're simply outstanding! I'll definitely be coming back for more of these delicious treats. #bestintown #Delicious#HighlyRecommended #bestchickenandrice

Good food and good prices 👍👍👍👍👍

Great food and excellent service. Will definitely be returning.

Great customer services and amazing food

Honestly, the best chicken shop. Come here. Everytime I come to Southampton this is the first place I want to get.

Very good service , excellent quality always Definitely highly recommend Rio’s Portswood.

very good, fast and nice atmosphere :)

Very good food and amazing service.

Best Chicken and rice in the town. Best price, must try.

Very nice food and friendly staff! Will definitely come back when I’m in town

Great experience. Specially half and half burger is just awesome

There is absolutely no way the positive reviews for this place are genuine. Utterly disgusting food (calling it food is actually insulting to real food). Everything is just salt with a bit of disgusting flavoured chicken. Be warned. Steer clear of this awful place.

One of the best lowkey places in Southampton to eat.

Great food and ammad always knows our order!

Lovely food knows my order like the back of his hand

Grilled burger and fried wings defo recommend! Full of flavour very tasty chips also fresh and crisp! Defo order again must try!

Mango Chix rice box was bang bang, slightly more rice than chicken but the taste is 10/10 mango drink is top tier too, this Place may just be a problem for your fav chicken shop !

Weekly customer here, great food every time and they always get my order right. Polite and respectful staff too.

We're obsessed with the food in here. It's nicely made, the staff is friendly and the food is normally ready within minutes! They have vegetarian options too for those with dietary restrictions

Delicious!! Great staff too. To get the best experience you should eat in because the delivery experience is not the most pleasant but that's deliveroo's fault. Only issue is when ordering for delivery there's no option to modify chips and a drink when getting the 2 piece chicken combo meal.
