The peri-peri chicken here is honestly amazing. It’s got that perfect smoky, grilled flavour with just the right amount of spice—enough to give it a kick, but not overpowering. The chicken was super juicy and tender, and you can tell it’s been marinated properly because the flavour goes all the way through. It came with crispy fries and a fresh little salad on the side, which balanced things nicely. Every bite was packed with flavour, and I couldn’t stop eating. If you love bold, spicy food that still tastes homemade, this peri-peri chicken is something you’ll definitely come back for.

The Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato was honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten in a while. The clams were super fresh, tender, and full of flavour, and the garlic, olive oil, and white wine sauce was absolutely incredible. There was a perfect hint of lemon and coriander that gave it a really fresh, vibrant taste. We couldn’t stop dipping our bread in the sauce—it was that good! It’s a simple dish, but when it’s made right like this, it’s unforgettable. If you love seafood or just want to try something really authentic and tasty, this one’s a must.

If you’re looking for bold flavors and honest, hearty Portuguese food, this place delivers with generous portions — especially when it comes to their piri piri chicken and bifanas. The piri piri chicken was the standout: flame-grilled to perfection, juicy on the inside with a crispy, smoky skin. Pair it with some fries or rice, and you’ve got a perfect plate. Then came the bifanas - pork was thin, tender, and loaded with flavour from a garlicky, slightly tangy marinade. Served on a soft roll, it's the kind of street food that sticks with you — in the best way. Add to that friendly service, a relaxed vibe, and fair prices, and you've got a spot that's well worth visiting.

I found this place randomly before I was leaving as I like Portuguese food. The host was very friendly and served us well. The food was amazing, nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. Honestly I would come back here again if I was in Leicester. Lovely place!

We really enjoyed our meal, absolutely wonderful. We had moelas, chourico assado, rissois de camarao and frango no churrasco. All dishes came out outstanding. No complain for food. Usually I always have complain about frango but this place passed it test.succulent, juicy and packed with flavour. Definately will go again and I highly recommand this place. Owner is welcoming and talk to you nicely. One more thing to add, Sagres on draught is superb. Far better than bottled sagres.

I would like to start off by saying the food here is made with love and it shows in the taste! Everything is fresh made to order. After getting to know the owner I found out this is his first business and a friendly guy. Saying that he has obtained this place to start off his food venture. The restaurant itself is no reflection on the quality of food they produce! With a friendly service.. my recommendation would be garlic prawns and prawn samosa and full peri peri chicken. We finished the evening off with a garlic mutton curry which was bursting with flavour and the nans were so fresh and soft! We were blessed to try the pork cutlet as an offering and I will be trying this the next time I go. If you’re a lover of food it is recommended to try fresh and tasty!

The food was great—no complaints at all! The service was really friendly, and the prices were very fair for the quality of the food. The ambiance is better suited for group gatherings, though the decor felt a bit plain. Overall, a great spot to visit with friends!

Diu Portugal Leicester is a true gem! The prawn rissóis were perfectly crispy, the peri chicken was packed with flavor, and the goat curry was rich and tender. The Debra’s de porco was also incredible! The owners are so welcoming, and the service is outstanding. A must-visit for amazing Portuguese food in Leicester!
