Diego’s Peri Peri recently opened doors to a world of new flavours centered on the African Bird’s Eye Chilli or Piri Piri.
A sauce perfected by the Portuguese who inhabited the African continent centuries ago, has today become a global phenom and must-have ingredient in a traditional preparation.
Situated in Nawala, Diego’s Peri Peri is the first of a series of restaurants under The Global Food Chain (Pvt) Ltd, a collaboration between professionals from the IT, Hospitality and Interior Design sectors.
The restaurant which commenced as a pilot project is the first of many that the company hopes to embark on. Their operation and business model prepared in consultation with local and internationally experienced hospitality consultant Thushara Gunawardhana aims to provide investors with a lucrative franchising opportunity both locally and overseas, a statement from the organisers said.
Diego’s specializes in the version of the Peri Peri Sauce that they have created which is used in many of their signature dishes including the ¼, ½ or full grilled chickens, chicken wings, grilled jumbo prawns and even pulled beef burgers.
A Peri Peri Spice Meter was also developed so that customers can “pick their poison” when it comes to the level of heat they desire with their meats. The menu is designed in a simple manner where customers pick their preferred meat, carb, side and sauce and pay what you see on the menu without any hidden taxes.
The restaurant currently works with UberEats and PickMe for their delivery option and has also found this to be a lucrative avenue as many customers resort to having food at the comfort of their own home. However, for those who do venture out Diego’s has a cozy sitting area for around 16 people with outdoor seating also being an option.
A minimalistic and modern interior theme runs through the restaurant with the friendly staff at hand to take orders and deliver food to your table in record time.
Visit Diego’s at No.403 Nawala Road, Nawala.
I still remember the day of August 1947 floods, as it was the last school day at Kingswood College Kandy and the height the water soured. Water rose to the height of the Cross of the Chrurch at Getambe and the water was so high that it engulfed the Getambe Rajaponawarma Temple leaving only a few leaves of the Bo-tree visible.
