About Don Pollo Peri Peri
Don Pollo Peri Peri is a chicken restaurant at 2 Ladywell E Rd in Livingston, open daily. The entire menu is halal, so everything on it works for guests who eat halal. The full chicken is cooked to order, which means a wait, and flaming fries come on the side. Desserts are made in house each day, with chocolate fudge cake on the list, and the kitchen also makes its own skwishee and serves freshly ground coffee. Food and drinks arrive in cardboard and plastic containers with wooden cutlery, including when eating in.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the food itself, with the dirty fries and the chocolate fudge cake singled out by a regular who calls the portions generous, and the wings and chicken thighs with mash and chargrilled veg praised by another long-time customer. Others mention fast delivery, nice staff and an entirely halal menu, with one calling it a Nando's alternative. The recurring complaints are about value and presentation. Several say food and drinks arrive in takeaway containers with wooden cutlery despite the sit-in setting, and a few call portions small or the prices high, including a flaming fries order that one reviewer says no longer filled a child. One reviewer found the mango and lime sauce strange, and another said a burger was bland even with hot sauce requested. Service draws mixed reports: one diner describes a full chicken arriving after a longer wait than quoted and still pink inside, with the manager attributing it to a burst vein, while another notes a missing part of an order and rain-damaged ceilings.

“average food. pretty bad service. i had finished my food by the time my girlfriend had got her food (after i had to ask where it was) part of the order was not there. over priced.”

“Edited to add: I was hoping for a professional response that addressed the concerns I raised. Instead, the tone of your reply was dismissive and defensive, which only reinforces my decision not to return. Most people don’t leave positive reviews simply because they received the standard level of service they expected. Reviews are often written when an experience stands out—whether exceptionally good or disappointingly bad. My review reflects my bad experience on this occasion, and I believe it should be taken as constructive feedback rather than an opportunity to question my motives. FYI - I have given positive reviews and tagged you on Instagram posts several times! As for contacting the restaurant after, that’s a choice, not a requirement. Reviews exist so customers can share their genuine experiences with others, whether positive or negative. My review reflected what I experienced yesterday, and a professional response would have acknowledged the feedback rather than criticised the fact that I hadn’t contacted you first. Thanks for your “classy” response. My review: Ordered from here last night. I have had a good experience with this restaurant until then. The portion size of the flaming fries have reduced so much that it was lesser than the leftovers we usually take away after eating at the restaurant. Used to come to this place for supporting local business but for £10 even my kid wasn’t full. I think they’ve become greedy and reduced the portion size massively which isn’t helping. The burger was bland in spite of asking for a hot sauce. There was no taste and it was unseasoned. Sorry, never ordering from here or visiting again. You’ve lost a loyal customer.”

“My partner ordered for us for the first time last night and wow... The food was absolutely amazing! Although it was a little pricey, it's one of the first times we actually felt it was justified! Will be back to try more from this lovely menu. Delivery was fast and the driver was lovely.”

“It was one of the greatest experiences of mine while living in Livingston… The place has best vibes, more like fine dining,,, Food was great, never expected it would turn out this good and the best part, entire menu is HALAL. Would definitely come back again… Best Nando’s alternative…”

“Here is few examples what you expect and what you actually get and how much you pay for this And served in plastic containers Thinking tesco and H&M or Morrison deals look better and cheaper than this”
