Royal Piri Piri

Really, you can’t find a better chilli kick in all of Preston than that promised at Royal Piri Piri on East View. Taking its name from the famous pepper brought from Africa to the centre of Portuguese tables, Royal Piri Piri undoubtedly mixes up the best piri piri specialty sauce in the town centre, which is then used to marinade their mouthwatering chicken lovingly for at least 24 hours before being cooked up to perfection. There is so much more here than frango, though, and you don’t need to be a spice nut to enjoy the incredible spread of pastas and paellas, vegetarian meals and seafood specialties. There are also a few dozen authentic Indian curries offered (with the same expert control of spices as shown in the piri piri sauce) of which – in true Goan, Indo-Portuguese style – the fiery vindaloo is the darling.
