Customer Review Summary
The chicken and rice box is what most positive reviewers return for, described as hot, with a tangy flavour, a good portion and garlic mayo on top. The Frango Double Fillet Burger is called saucy and full of flavour, and one reviewer names lemon and herb as the best flavour. Several also mention a clean eating area and friendly staff, including the two brothers who run the shop. The complaints carry real weight, though. Several reviewers say the food has slipped since a change in ownership or new workers, describing dry, overcooked, rubbery chicken, and one says collected wings tasted old and reheated. Another says orders do not follow instructions, and one found the meals alright but nothing special. One reviewer reports being sent rice with a horrible smell that they say was out of date, and describes the manager as unhelpful and rude. That reviewer asked for no refund, only fresh food.

“So disappointed- this place used to be our regular go to place- has gone so downhill since change in ownership. Overcooked dry food, poor blend in flavours- and just can’t follow instructions. Come on guys, 3 times in a row disappointed giving you the benefit of the doubt- really hoped you could prove us wrong but every time it keeps getting worse. Change your grill man please!!! The area needs a good Rios and everyone is complaining about your food standards. Such a shame when this places used to be the busiest Peri place to go to!!!”
