This is the best chicken you will ever eat 😋 and cheap as 🍟 chips.

Really Portugal taste! Very good

**Review based on the visit to Portugal in Dec 2018*** What a find!! We visited the Silves Castle and was looking for a lunch spot. We just accidentally stumbled into this place. I saw a huge smoking BBQ loaded with chicken close to the sidewalk, lots of tables spilling out to the sidewalk from the restaurant and a lot of locals sitting shoulder to shoulder having a meal!! What more can you ask for to know that this can't go wrong!! We got a table in few minutes and then the food arrived. First it was bread, olives and a mix of carrot and bell pepper drizzled with olive oil.. then in a little while came 2 plates of tomato, onion and lettuce salad with a lovely dressing.. Then came the fries and finally, 2 full plates of mouth watering, piri piri chicken!! Wow !! What a treat.. my son and I finished almost 80% of the chicken as my wife and daughter enjoyed the rest:).. The chicken was very nicely done and dabbed with piri piri sauce which gives a very nice taste. The owner came to me and gave me 2 more sauce bottles with one having 3 chilli spiciness and the other having 5 !! YES I did try the 5 chilli and it WAS spicy even for my standards !! When they saw me try this it really brought a wide smile to their faces !! The atmosphere was amazing, sitting next to locals and having a Portuguese meal!! We finished all the food and then more food came in the form of fruits and a piece of almond cake.. That is it!! I couldn't eat anything else as I was soooooooo full!!! Off to the next destination ... Albufeira....

Eat like the locals. Friendly service and prices. 3 people, had 1/2 ltr wine, bottle of water for the table and 2 of us had extra meat and fries and spend 35 euro including tip. Very nice service. Recommended!

It is a simple local grill place for people who should have very low expectations. They completely ignored our reservation and made us wait 45 minutes in the waiting line. Then the food was served approximately 1 hr after we ordered. The sardines were OK but the chicken was rather cold and bland. The only positive thing is that it is super cheap. We paid 18 euros for 2 meals, 1 glass of wine and including tip
