Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the munch box, called tasty and a quick bite by those who order it, with the chicken and rice meal, the wrap meal, the peri peri panini and the loaded fries named close behind. One reviewer praises chicken strips in a chilli mango herb sauce, and the generous sauces come up more than once. A regular chooses it over a rival for the calm, no music atmosphere, with Quran played, and others mention plenty of indoor seating and a clean room. Service speed is the recurring complaint: one reviewer was quoted ten minutes and waited forty, and another warns that orders can run just over an hour, while one praises minimal waits and correct orders. Value draws mixed comments. One reviewer says a panini had barely any chicken for the price, and another wants better fries. A first-time visitor was put off by a cashier who only nodded when asked about paying by card and found that cards were not taken. Parking on the busy road is described as a hassle.

“I had a wonderful experience at peppers , and I especially want to recognize Maryam for her outstanding service. She was on the till throughout my visit and welcomed every customer with a warm smile and a friendly attitude. She was polite, patient, and very professional, making the ordering process quick and easy. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed calm, efficient, and made everyone feel valued. Her excellent customer service truly stood out and made my visit even more enjoyable. The food was fresh, delicious, and well prepared, and the overall atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. It’s clear that Maryam takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about providing the best experience for customers. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service. Thank you, Maryam, for making my visit such a pleasant one—I will definitely be coming back!”

“Went first time today, place looked nice. It was clean and spacious too but thats when it went downhill. Firstly they dont take card, in 2026 ap business still not doing card payments is crazy but what annoyed me more was the staff at the tills. He didnt smile, no greet didnt even open his mouth. I said do you take card he just nodded his head like how rude at least say "no sorry" Pathetic service wont be going back thats for sure”

“Very disappointed today, bought a pannini and there is barely any chicken in it, for the prices charged I think this is terrible, normally it is good, I really hope this doesn't happen again or will have to go back to rios”

“I have been going peppers for the last few weeks since I tried their munch box. Quality tasting food at an excellent price. I have been served by Harris on 3 occasions, he always gets the order correct and waiting time is kept to a minimal. The shops is usually busy with customers eating in as well as taking out. Delivery drivers can be seen going in and out showing how busy they are. I would definitely recommend.”

“Said 10 minutes, waited 40mins. Mexicana Burger and Loaded Fries were tasty. Plenty of indoor seating. Parking is a hassle, very busy road.”
