Tribos Peri Peri Chicken

This is a great new addition to Assembly Row! If you're familiar with Nando's, this is exactly that, but a lot more flavourful. The chicken is grilled to perfection, it's moist and juicy. The sauce is tangy. We got a platter which was great for two people and came with half chicken, wings, rice and an extra side of your choice. For $25.99 that was a steal! I didn't take any photos because the food was SO good, phone did not eat first. The staff is very friendly. Great for families. All their food is halal and they also have a whole waffle menu as well. The rice, although a side, was phenomenal! It tasted like pulao. Only thing, the masala tea is not to Pakistani standards, but hey, I'm pretty sure this is the only masala chai you'll get in Assembly. 10/10 will be back!

As a fan of Nandos I was excited to see a peri peri chicken establishment nearby at Assembly and Tribos does have solid peri peri chicken. I split a half chicken with wings and 2 sides with a friend and we devoured the chicken. We asked for medium which was honestly spicier than we both expected. The darker meat was the star, the breast was a bit dry, and the sauce had lots of spice and lemony flavor. We had rice and the peri mayo corn as sides and I enjoyed the rice with the chicken but would skip the peri mayo corn. The corn tasted like it was from a can and the peri mayo wasn't very flavorful.The space was fairly clean, and the staff was nice but spacey. I paid for an extra side of sauce and the employee said they would bring it to out table. 10 min later no sauce so I went up and asked for it and they said "oh we looked for you but didn't see you, sorry". Uhm, we never left, and there was 2 occupied tables in the whole space. It is a bit pricey and the service was a bit spacey and slow, but I would return when I get a craving for peri peri chicken.

Unique dining option in Assembly Row but on the pricey side for what you get. I came here with a 10% off coupon I got at Riverfest last weekend. I was told the coupon was only good for that day despite it not saying so which was disappointing. Lots of dining space both inside and outside. Menu on the screens is hard to read but they have paper menus by the register. I dined in and it took 15-20 minutes to get my food. To be fair, it was a busy Sunday afternoon with a lot of dine-in and takeout orders, but I didn't expect to wait that long for what I ordered. I ordered the Tribos hot chicken sandwich and a regular side of peri peri fries which was about $20. The chicken piece was large and the sauce was flavorful. There was a slice of American cheese on the sandwich, which struck me as odd, as well as pickles and slaw. I think it could have used a little more slaw to offset the spiciness. The fries were hot and crispy with a nice seasoning. Overall my first visit did not live up to my expectations but I would be willing to give them another try.

Positives: - location- food is halal - good amount of comfortable seating - very tender dark chicken- nice garlic sauceOpportunities for improvement: - short-staffed. waited forever for our food to be brought over even though it was ready and sitting on the counter getting cold. Had to ask them to bring it. - the crispy chicken needs a lot of work; it was basically fried chicken with no breading. The sides were hit or miss. - everything was spicier than expected. Got everything with everything lemon herb seasoning or mild but it was still spicy. I personally don't mind that but not ok for most people. - speed of service needs to be buttoned up

1 bite into the chicken and this place got 5 stars.. nice clean place.. I need to try more iteitems here

Nice service.Overall good but the lamb steak was slightly overcooked for a medium to well-done.probably being too busy by then.

As I was waiting for my food, I noticed a common theme in this comfortable and inviting place. People were smiling, even dads. The patrons are multicultural so it was so lovely to see how people of different backgrounds come together at Tribos to enjoy the same foods. This place is clean and is set up as casual but looks classy. It is simply amazing. They offer halal food and is a mixture of African, Portuguese, Southeast Asian flavors. The quarter leg dark meat is so juicy! They also have Gaby's Crepes and Waffles in there. A great way to end meal or even as a meal itself!

I wish Boston had more peri peri chicken and was very happy to finally try this spot. I got their potato chips ($6.49) and an order of 12 wings ($18.99) to-go. If you like thick-cut and super crispy kettle cooked potato chips, then I highly recommend getting the potato chips here! They were so satisfyingly crispy and even stayed crispy after being kept overnight. I got the wings with extra hot peri peri sauce, and the spiciness was not a joke! I would recommend getting this spice level if you enjoy spicy food. The wings themselves had charred grill marks which added a lot of smoky flavor. The meat was very juicy. They also packed a creamy garlic sauce that added even more flavor to the wings and helped cut through some of the spice.

Got the mild spice lamb wrap. Super full of flavorful meat. The wrap was also so super soft and good.The mac and cheese bites were not bad, super crunchy and hit the spot but could be improved on.Over all a great place to grab and goTried the rice and lettuce from the paneer rice bowl with lemon herb dressing. Didn't particularly like either but also they weren't bad

I went to Tribos Peri Peri Chicken at Assembly Square, nestled at 431 Artisan Way in Somerville‍ This casual, to-go gem serves up everything from wings , burgers , to delectable bowls . The star of the show was the Fusion Fry Bowl with chicken . Imagine a medley of tantalizing sauces , perfectly seasoned fries , all nestled with crisp lettuce . It's like a Big Mac took a gourmet turn and decided to become a bowl - absolute perfection, scoring a whopping 10/10! Our feast continued with the Original Platter featuring a whole chicken paired with rice that whispered tales of Indian basmati, but with a cheeky kick . The chicken? Oh, it was a symphony of flavors, with wings so tender, it fell off the bone! The lamb chops entered the scene, juicy and bold, packed with spice . We bravely set our spice level to medium, which proved to be a fiery challenge for my usually spice-friendly palate The lamb burger, a classic with a twist, came with fresh pickles on a traditional bun, scoring a solid 8/10. Dessert was their classic chocolate cake . Standard fare, it's a 5/10 for me - not the highlight, but a sweet end to our meal.Overall Scores:Food: 8/10 Affordability: 8/10 Ambiance: 5/10 A visit to Tribos Peri Peri offers a casual yet memorable dining experience. Don't miss out on trying the chicken here!!!
