"The food is really good. Jollof rice and ayamashe is the best. It’s also affordable but the delivery fee is quite expensive. It’s better to order pick up"
"Tasty jollof that would actually fill you. I appreciate the food size and the bundle with 3 proteins. I would however appreciate it if things are super specific. I ordered Suya but there was no way to know the size of what I'm expecting. I would have ordered more if I knew it was just one stick ."

"This was my first time trying whipped okra stew. I must say I'm absolutely hooked!! My daughter and I found out about Nigerian Kitchen two years ago while walking through the Uptown area. My daughter tried the egusi and I had the goat pepper soup as well as their pounded yam. We knew then, that we would be "Forever customers". They are consistent in proportion, attention to detail and service. I enjoy the authentic flavor and the love put in every dish!! I thank you for talking with me about my order and making sure it was so delectable!! I ordered fish and goat with my whipped okra. The goat was tender and the fish was cooked just right. This dish has a slight kick, (I love heat) but it goes great with the pounded yam.. Chef's Kiss!! I will be back at the end of the week!!"
"Really solid Nigerian food. The whipped okra soup was flavorful with fresh fish and good spice level. The dark fufu was smooth, sticky, and not too sour — perfect texture. Portions were generous and the food tasted authentic and homemade. Definitely one of the better African food spots I’ve tried on the road."

"Real authentic food. I love The Fish was sweet and had a special taste to it with the fresh crunchy veggies... boom :) The rice was a bit dry and could've been a little more portion but overall the flavor and freshness was amazing I enjoyed can't wait to order again. I shared with my family and they loved it as well. "
"The red snapper was barely large enough to feed two people AND it was dry/overcooked. I can do much better for $32. Do yourselves a favor and try the Nile's snapper (when it's available) and take some notes. I gave two stars because my husband liked the plantains. They were good, but I prefer a bias cut. The Djolof rice was just ok. "

"The Ofe Egusi has sooo much flavor! It was packaged tight so the stew and fufu was still, hot. I always try new African restaurants and ordered extra fufu because its so good. I'll certainly order again!"
"Could've had more egusi. Kinda looks like it's been eaten out of. More Spanish than melon seed. Flavor is nice. Looks a bit rushed & just throw in the bowl! Definitely not worth over $20.50 only 4 small pieces of plantain for the price is ridiculous."

Doro Tibs Alicha (Mild). We love that there are so many vegetable options, and we often order the 39. Veggie Combo so we can get a variety. The food is consistently good and always fresh. The portions are large and great for sharing. Recommend ordering extra Regular Injera Bread. Everything tastes amazing. 10/10 we will certainly order again. Food is priced well, great value."
"this is the BEST local spot and it introduced me to Ethiopian food and it's so good!! I've tried other Ethiopian places but this place is the best. The 09. Zilzil Tibs are my favorite and they always add extra onions for me and they're the best. do yourself a favor and order!!!"

"The ONLY reason this isn't a 5 star review is because it was a little pricey especially for the portion sizes. Specifically the Mac and cheese. But the flavor was really really good on everything! The Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap was delicious. The 12 PERi Buffalo Wings & Chips were seasoned and had lots of sauce on them & the chips were crispy! The chicken tasted fresh and it was hot when it arrived . Definitely will be ordering here again! "
"I chose the sweet potatoes as a side to the 3 Chicken Thighs. Sweet potatoes were burnt to a crisp and hidden under other sides. Small portions for the price. Food containers are not completely full. Burnt food ruins the meal."

"I'll definitely come back for seconds, I had the Smoked Jerk Brisket 1/2 LB and the Large Sweet & Spicy Smoky Baked Beans and they SLAPPED! The flavors are just perfect and the serving is good enough for 2 meals or sharing if you're into that"
"Ordered the Smoked Jerk Pork Combo and it was good but I've tasted better. Didn't really taste the smoke so not if it was cooked on the grill or in the oven. They are also very stingy with the meat. I feel I should've gotten more meat for the price I paid. I've ordered jerk pork before in the Cayman Islands and Jamaica and I've got a lot more meat for less than what I paid here. Also, the mac & cheese look like it was straight out of a craft mac & cheese box, and not baked as I expected. "

But while enjoying this order from Port of Peri Peri tonight, I was succinctly thinking to myself "I have to write a review". This was a complete home run - a grand slam. This is my new favorite chicken place in Chicago. When I chose the Extra Hot option, I was expecting to get the usual extra type of hot. But wow, this was an extra special hot.

"Phat Thai was a bit too sweet for my personal taste, but adjusted it with chili oil and soy sauce (again - just me). Geow Tod were delicious and well stuffed. Arrives hot in eco-friendly packaged. Not the greatest price to quantity ratio, but I don't eat very large portions and will still have two meals out of this."

"The "boneless bangus paksiw" (fish stew) that I got in my combo was definitely not boneless, so avoid that if fish bones are a problem for you. That said, the taste was on point! Not too weak, not too strong, but just right. I enjoyed it very much; it just shouldn't have "boneless" in the name. And the portion was generous - I ordered a Combination Plate with the chicken inasal and that fish stew, and I got close to a half chicken and (it looked like) most of the fish other than the head and collar. So that combo plate is an excellent value for the money. I agree with the reviewer who said the garlic rice could use more garlic, but overall this combo plate was a good time, and I made two meals out of it.
The Suman Sa Lihiya could easily be split between either two or four people. Definitely too much for one person to eat in one sitting. It comes with toppings/dippers of a brown sugar based sauce and some shredded coconut. This seemed to be the most "basic" flavor of suman from what I could tell, and I liked it, so I'll be trying other flavors.
The Lumpia Sariwa pictured here was fresh and seemed well executed. It turned out not to be a wow for me, but I could tell it was a matter of "I don't particularly care about this dish" rather than anything wrong.
Overall, as you can see there were some minor imperfections, but overall it was very worth it, and I will be trying more dishes here. This was my first time trying Filipino food, and I'm glad I picked this place. "
"
First things first, the crunchy pork belly was a game-changer. The moment I took a bite, I was greeted with a satisfying crunch that gave way to tender and succulent meat. The flavor was out of this world, with a perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet notes. Each piece was expertly cooked and seasoned to perfection. It was like a party in my mouth!
Now, let's talk about the tocino sweet pork. This dish was a delightful explosion of flavors. The pork was incredibly tender and had a beautiful caramelized glaze that added a touch of sweetness. The combination of the savory meat, the sticky glaze, and the fluffy rice was pure magic. And let's not forget the perfectly cooked eggs on top, adding a creamy richness to the dish.
The pork belly was beautifully arranged with a garnish of fresh herbs, while the tocino sweet pork was served with a side of sunny side eggs and fresh tomatoes that added a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the meat.
I can't recommend Imas Kitchen enough. If you're a fan of crispy, flavorful pork belly and mouthwatering tocino sweet pork, this is the place for you. It's a culinary adventure that will leave you craving for more."

"Hot and absolutely delicious! Arrived faster than expected and super fresh. Lentil Soup, Kefta Kabob Sandwich wrap, and Grape Leaves & Falafel Combo were flavorful, healthy, and fresh. "
"I love this restaurant. I have celiac disease & other serious allergies/health conditions so eating out is very difficult for me, if not impossible. I really appreciate all the gluten free options and how they take the time to be careful of cross contamination if needed. Not only is it awesome to be able to eat out without worrying about getting sick, but the food is delicious! My favorite place for sure in the neighborhood. Can't wait to try more dishes, though it's so hard to not get the Moroccan chicken tagine every time because it's so tasty! Thank you."

The green beans were well seasoned, juicy, so good!! Mac n cheese was just okay on its own but paired well when eaten with everything else. First time eating at Jamaican Jerk King and definitely not my last. "
"The rice and peas were really simple and lacked flavored. Good amount of chicken and sides, cabbage and carrots were springy and fresh. Chicken just gave smoky bbq probably wouldn't order again if specifically craving jerk but if I was just hungry eh"

"If you want authentic Peruvian this is your place. Fina Estampa is my go-to when I miss home. Highly recommend pollo a la brasa, lomo saltado and tallarín saltado de pollo y carne. Price is great, meals are affordable and even though portions seem 10% smaller now, it's still worth it for the amount of food you get, and it is always fresh.
SIMPLY THE BEST IN CHICAGO and I've been to many Peruvian places, trust me. This is it. Nobody paid me for this review. Just being honest and recognizing a GREAT place for others to try and enjoy."

"The Quesabirria was delicious! I wish there were three of them, like other meals they offer. The guacamole was just okay. The way it was packaged made it squirt everywhere! They need a larger container and more flavor. The chips and salsa were fine, but they weren't homemade, which was evident. This was for takeout. Overall, it was an average meal. Will visit again to have the Quesabirria! "

"This restaurant is only good if you go in person. If you do take out, be prepared for significantly smaller portions (salad for example) , the bread for the tomato con pan was stale.

"This is the first review I've made for this place, even though I've ordered from them at least 4 times. I'm proud to say I've never been let down by this place. The food is flavorful and such a good price! I usually order the fries supreme, which is delicious and so filling. But today I ordered the Steak Protein Bowl Protein Bowl because I had a buy one get one free deal. It was huge and my mom couldn't finish hers so she and my sister ate it together. I was a little scared ordering it because I've never ordered anything else from here but I was pleasantly surprised! On top of that I order the Horchata with each meal, and honestly, it was the reason why I started making my own at home. Very refreshing! I definitely recommend this place to new customers!"
