From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with an inviting atmosphere that balances quick service with genuine care—the kind you expect from a place passionate about its food and its community.

Yesterday, I visited Pepe’s after work and ordered a Fajita Wrap Meal. The wrap was prepared by a staff member named Hasnat, and it was absolutely delicious—well worth my time and money. I would love to visit again.

I visited today after work, I work for the NHS and had a really lovely experience. The young girl at the till (the sweet one with big glasses) noticed my NHS card and kindly explained the NHS discount, which I never knew about before! That was such a nice surprise. I ordered my usual chicken and rice with garlic mayo, it was fantastic as always, made by Faraz. He always makes my meal perfectly whenever he’s on shift consistent and delicious every time! A big thank you to Faraz for the great food, and to the girl at the till for being so polite, friendly, and helpful.

The food and customer service were absolutely outstanding! Muhammad made my meal, and it was fantastic, perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The girl at the till was amazing too, she took the time to explain and double-check my order. Even when I asked for extra sauces and a drink change, she just smiled and handled it perfectly. I even asked for her name so I could mention her specifically in this review, her name is Aima. Both Muhammad and Aima made the experience really enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Pepe's has become my absolute go-to for a flavour-packed, satisfying meal. The chicken and rice box is legendary – it's consistently juicy, perfectly spiced, and incredibly tasty. One reviewer even said the "extreme" flavour made them "literally cry real tears" because it was so good, and they're usually immune to spice . It's that kind of place. The food is always fresh and feels like it's cooked on a proper grill. The burgers are handmade, and all the sauces are delicious, especially the garlic mayo . A big plus is that it's all Halal . Service is generally friendly and fast, with some locations even adding sweet personal notes to delivery orders . While the prices could be a bit lower, the quality, generous portions, and incredible flavours make it worth every penny. It's like a "fast food South Asianified Nandos" – a unique and delicious twist on peri-peri chicken . Highly recommended!
