I had a fantastic experience at Rio's Piri Piri in Headington. The food was outstanding- fresh, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. Every bite reflected the excellent quality of the ingredients and the care taken in preparing the meals.

What made the visit even more enjoyable was the warm hospitality. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel valued from the moment we walked in.

If you're looking for delicious peri peri chicken/paneer and excellent customer service I highly recommend Rio's Piri Piri in Headington. I'll definitely be coming back!

First off, the food is great. That is all that is good about this place. Customer service wise it is awful. They say they offer discounts in reality this is false advertising - there is always an exception why the discount cannot be applied to your order. They also have fancy new self service ordering machines - In reality you cannot order from them as you cannot pay by card, even at the till. Staff do not care about this and simply say it is the boss’s decision and that all transactions must be cash only. This is very poor. I’ve now left this place tired and grumpy and with no food.

OK so they're one of those.cash only places but that was without doubt the best takeaway chicken I've had in years.
I had medium sauce and it had a bloody good kick to it, chargeilled to perfection but moist and spicy inside. Christ it was good
The chef was celebrating a Ronaldo goal at the time so I'm going back in for the next Portugal game to try the hot sauce 10/10

The best thing you can get from Rio’s is their loaded fries. It’s peri peri chips with chunks of hot chicken doused in garlic mayo and their cheese sauce. I had also got their mozerella sticks and they were piping hot.

It’s got the perfect amount of everything and always hits whenever you need something to eat.

I recently placed an order through Deliveroo. The loaded fries were exceptional, scoring a perfect 10/10. However, the chicken burger was just alright as the bun tended to disintegrate; perhaps a different bun could be used next time. The wings and the peri peri chicken with rice box were decent, though the peri peri chicken was slightly tough. Despite these minor issues, I enjoyed the overall flavor of the food and would definitely consider ordering from here again.
