Absolutely loved our experience thanks to Omar! From the moment we walked in, he made us feel completely at ease. Super chill vibe, genuinely friendly, and really attentive without being overbearing. It felt like we were being hosted by a friend rather than just served. Honestly, he’s the kind of person that makes you want to come back again and again. Five stars all the way—Omar, you’re a legend!

The bone in wings, lemon and herb flavor are their signature dish... at least for us! The cassava chips is a great side with the wings! They have other options as well in chicken, including the meals. The customer service is good, however could be better, especially the folks answering the phone who to take the order! If you’re in the mood for wings, this is a good option around Villa Park.

Flavorful Feast with Excellent Service! The Port of Peri Peri definitely delivered on the flavor front! The peri-peri chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of heat. The sides were also delicious - especially the flavorful rice and the perfectly cooked vegetables. The service was top-notch. Our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, perfect for a family meal. Overall, a great dining experience! I'd definitely recommend The Port of Peri Peri for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal.

At the time we arrived the place was quiet and peaceful, clean with a relaxing ambience. The staff was friendly and helpful and it being our first visit made wonderful suggestions. The food was delicious and the wings were amazing. The flavor was bold and savory. The chicken straps with rice was very tasty as well, especially after adding the white garlic sauce. We will surely return whenever we are back in the Chicagoland area. Great food.
