The Peri Peri Grill - Review - Downtown Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"After staring at whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium, you might not be hungry for aquatic life. So head across the street for an African-Portuguese lunch menu that doesn’t have a single seafood item on it. Solidarity. Plus, Peri Peri Grill keeps company with a small number of downtown locations where you can get a big lunch for less than $15. Snag one of their enormous rice bowls, which is  essentially a naked burrito with seasoned rice, beans, lettuce, and chicken (or falafel) with your choice of spice level. Or opt for a juicy whole- or half- chicken with five sauce options (the hot adds just the right amount of heat). This chicken isn’t remarkable enough to memorialize, but for a quick, casual lunch downtown it’ll do the job. Food Rundown Jumbo Fried Wings These aren't making any best wings lists, but they're tender and fall off the bone pretty easily. The red chili sauce is sticky, so grab extra napkins if you get that sauce. Chicken Wrap It's a pretty standard wrap with grilled chicken, your choice of sauce, and plenty of lettuce, so you can pretend you're eating a vegetable. Plus, it's grilled on one side, which we dig. Chicken Rice Bowl It's basically a naked burrito. The rice, beans, corn, and chicken are well seasoned, and the hot sauce makes things more interesting—in a good way. Deluxe Peri Beef Burger Get this if you're a chicken hater because the beef patty isn't the best, but everything else going on with this burger is legit. There's a fried hash brown that somehow didn't put us into carb overload." - Juli Horsford
