The Port of Peri Peri Kirkland

There is no inside seating. You go inside to just order or wash your hands at the hand washing station and then sit outside on the deck. The older lady at the register cooked and took our orders and delivered. She was very sweet and kind. Although we sat outside at night in the winter, there was a ceiling heater that kept us warm enough.

I tried the short ribs with a side of fries and coleslaw and the chicken wings. All were very good, very tasty. I got the hot and peri cajun and my mouth was on fire. Just what I was looking for. I want to go back again to try the burger, burrito, perishwarma, and half chicken.

Late Nights, Lake Views & Lively Flavors, ftom the moment that flame, kissed chicken hit our table, we knew we’d found something special. Port Peri Peri’s new Kirkland location has been open just 10 days and already feels like it’s been a neighborhood favorite for years. We ordered two quarter white meat meals (breast and wing): one with the milder and mild sauce and the other with the medium for a little kick. Every bite was juicy and layered with that smoky, chargrilled flavor you can only get from a real flame. The sauces added personality and zingy, earthy, and deeply craveable. Now let’s talk sides. The peri fries were Golden and addictively seasoned. The flame-grilled corn on the cob with lemon and herb sauce was sweet, tart, and smoky in the best way. The rice was soft and satisfying, and the perimayo corn? Creamy, rich, with just the right hit of spice. The portion size is just right. Although some reviewers believe the portion sizes are small. However, It is important to understand that the chicken is organic, cage free with no added hormones. And then there’s Aslam, the owner. He’s not just running a restauran, he’s hosting a celebration. Friendly, genuine, and passionate about what he does, he made sure we felt right at home. Before we left, he surprised us with their house chai tea which was a warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting surprise. The kind of gesture that turns a great meal into a memorable experience. Bonus points: Port Peri Peri is one of the few waterfront spots in Kirkland that keeps the lights on late, open until 10PM Sunday, 11 PM Monday through Thursday and 12AM Friday and Saturday. During the winter months, Aslam and his customer experience focused team provide covered and heated patio seating outside so you never have to go far for a food during late nights. Whether you’re strolling by the lake or catching a bite after hours, they’ve got you covered. :) If you haven’t made your way to Port Peri Peri yet, It’s a Kirkland MUST TRY! Also, Check out their original spot in Bothell just off Exit 26 on I-405. It’s been winning hearts for about a year now.

I'm happy that they have now opened closer to my place. The location has the same great taste and attention, and I love the location. Ideal for a walk by the lake and then having a meal or chai. This location has outdoor dining only with views of Lake Washington. The owners mentioned that they will be winterizing the sitting area for the colder months. Hand slaughtered Halal food.

Peri Cajun sauce mixed with lemon + herbs was recommended by the owner. The taste was great! Unfortunately, I got the chicken leg/thigh piece and there really wasn’t that much chicken on it so the portion felt small. I would try again though with the tenders.

Me and a coworker had two 1/2 chickens between us, one mild and one medium. Also had some wings along with the cassava fries(def try this when you get a chance!) the chicken was delicious and was a nice combo of spicy and citrus flavor. Would definitely get this again.

The place is small but very cozy. It’s new and will need some time to catch up to its other branch in Bothell. Food is awesome and be mindful of the spice level order as it can get hot 🌶️

Amazing service and friendly staff! I had a great experience at this place. The food was delicious and well prepared, but what really stood out was the customer service. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was perfect and treated customers with genuine kindness. Was my first time visiting but I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and excellent service.

I was very excited that a peri peri place finally opened in the Seattle area but was fairly disappointed when I tried this spot. The chicken seemed old and dry, not juicy. The peri peri sauce tasted okay but not great. The prices are not exactly cheap for a strictly take out place. If you really want to try peri peri, come here but I probably won't come back.

One of the best things about this location is that it's right next to the water and thus ducks. They have lost all fear of humans and will literally walk up to you demanding to be fed. The chicken is good. I would come back but maybe less spicy. It hurt my stomach, I got spicy cajun.

The food was delicious! The chicken was tender and moist, the coleslaw was awesome and the cassava chips were fresh and tangy with a hint of lime! My wrap was wrapped in parchment and aluminum foil. The foil was unnecessary and I found a sliver in my food!. No bathrooms here but they did have a wash station for your hands! Public bathrooms were across the street. Service was pretty quick and they brought the food out! Surprisingly for a self serve place. Streamline the ordering process to make people aware at the beginning before entering the door. Kind of like chipotle. It was a casual ambiance with a caviar experience.

I went to this place for dinner twice. The lady that works there is so nice and I remembered her for the previous burger business that was at the same location and closed down. One night I had the burger and it was Ok. The following visit o had the chicken strips which were ok. Chicken strips were already precooked and cold . Both visits the fries were great and freshly made. Overall it's an average place with an average food. I will still go back to avoid eating food contaminated with pork at other restaurants. No other reason.

Had chicken and vegan hotdogs! Both are really good. And if you like spicy food. This is the place. They took Microsoft passport discount too.

Ts food very yummy for my tummy maaz and shamir khan amazing waiters and beef really good and tender

Good amount of food for price Great /quick service Everything fresh We had Pita and a wrap with chicken FYI Mild spice was more like medium IMO Potato salad and Cassava fries were 5 stars We will be back

This was our first time eating food from here since they just opened. The staff were so friendly in explaining the menu and suggesting food items to order. The spice level is customizable. We had a whole chicken combo, with corn and rice for the sides. I recommend getting their chips as well, they are salted with their peri salt. They are located on the waterfront side of downtown Kirkland. Price was reasonable and the food is delicious!

Loved the peri peri chicken sandwich! I got the extra hot and it was delicious! Highly recommended!

Chicken here is fire! The spices they use is unbelievably good. Ordered the two 1/4 chicken medium hot, quarter chicken white meat, side rice and side veggies. Perfect for two people. This place doesn't have much space to sit and it's all outdoor. Fine for summer but in winter gotta get it to-go. Counter service but the person behind the counter is very courteous and food came out quick. We for sure will be back.

Delicious food. Peri peri chicken was cooked perfectly and very juicy. Fries were great too.
