Reviews for Vasco's Peri Peri in Schaumburg, IL
Vasco's Peri Peri packs flavor and the heat. If you're not familiar with what Peri Peri is, its a seasoning, flavoring, and... style of chicken that was originally produced by Portuguese explorers in Portugal's former Southern African territories,particularly Mozambique and its border regions with South Africa, and then spread to other Portuguese domains. And yes, Itotally stole that last sentence from Wikipedia. Vasco's has a variety of stuff on their menu, including burgers, paneer,falafels, chicken and rice, and chicken sandwiches, to name a few. You go up to the front, order from either a paper menu or theoverhead menu, pay, and grab a number and table. They will bring out the food for you. Pro-tip: the burgers, are not ones madewith beef, to my son's dismay, but made of chicken. Why it's not called a chicken burger, I don't know. In either case, thesandwiches come in this very fluffy, very tasty ciabatta bread. I ordered the "Samarai Burger", which had peri peri chicken,romaine lettuce, tomato, red onion, samurai and garlic sauce. It was scrum-diddly-umptious! The got the chicken in a mild sauce,and it had the right kick. Note, one of my friends got the hot, and dude was in pain. I believe the hottest there is is"Dynamite" and you need to sign a waiver for it. No joke. I ordered a side of seasoned fries and it was pretty good. Food cameout fast, chicken was mildly dry, but still tasty, and overall, great food. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located around the corner,opposite wall to the kitchen, the bathrooms are single-person bathrooms. Inside the mens, the urinal was broken, but kudos forthe sign. Toilet was "meh" but workable, and the sink and super-powerful hand dryer were good. Sit or squat? Squat. Read more
Good food! If you are looking for Halal peri peri, this place is a great option. The spice level is adjustable. Food is very... filling. The corn was a little sour to my taste but still enjoyed! Read more
This chicken is very delicious!! I ordered my food and got it within 15 minutes, they make everything fresh. I ordered the mild... chicken and ate it with garlic sauce. I recommend mild for everyone unless they big on spicy food because medium and up startsto get too spicy at least for me. This place is a great place to check out and try all of the food is zabiha halal also so greatplace to take a Muslim family to. Read more
We ordered takeout but this place has plenty of seating for dining indoors. We were pleasantly surprised with the Portuguese and... Indian fusion concept. They offer plenty vegan and vegetarian options. The vegan spicy mild wings were a perfect kick andflavors. The vegan wings were soft interior and exterior baked nicely. We loved the Peri Peri sweet potato fries (this is a mustif you like spices and flavor). It was very addicting. The Peri Peri casava fries were lightly spiced and delish as well. Wealso ordered the the Classic Veggie Pita with grilled paneer (or choose falafel or bean patty), lettuce, diced tomatoes, andtheir vasconaise was pretty good. I bet with falafel would be even good and even more I realized should try the Samurai pitawhich has also includes red onions, samurai sauce and garlic sauce. Limca soda is a popular Indian soda that is unique versusregular lime soda. Pickup order was pretty quick ready by the time we picked up at the time stated which is about 20minutes.Plenty of parking space in the strip mall area. Read more

Best peri peri "unreal" wings - must try for vegans. The unreal wings were crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside. Felt... as though I was eating real boneless wings. Tried the wings with hot sauce and since I am a spicy eater I may up the spice levelnext time. Vascorn was boiled corn with peri peri mayo sauce. Perfect side dish for a winter afternoon. Tasted good with a hintof sauce sauce. We would rate the Half chicken with medium spice sauce 4 out of 5 since we felt it could be marinated for alonger time. We dint feel it was marinated for 24hrs as they proclaimed. Vasco's rice was veggie biryani but without anyveggies. Read more
Wings with lemon and herb sauce was too good. Chicken n rice bowl had a good portion which was comparable to the price. Lamb... burger seemed a little bit pricey. Washroom was super clean. Overall service was decent, will recommend. Read more
