Delicious East African food! Had the Ribs, Cassava Fries and Mandazi (fried bread) Ribs were delicious. The powder for the fries was amazing. Had an amazing sourness to it. Loved the sauces that came along too. Fried bread was a bit too dry and doughy.
I finally got to try this place out and I'd say for this price you cannot get better ribs. I also had the kebabs which came with chutneys and those were really good as well. 2021 update: I tried the Gajjar Chicken, and it is the best BBQ style chicken I've ... had in the area. Amazing!! Read more
I found Pili Pili while visiting my cousin in the east end. The young gentlemen who were in charge of cash and cooking in the back were exactly that: gentlemen. They were friendly and offered information about the restaurant owner when we enquirer about the cultural background of the establishment. ... The chicken and especially the beef were richly flavored with their spice mix and was light, not heavy. The sides were well made and moderately priced. The food was made to order so although there was about a 15 minute wait, it was definitely well worth it. The food was fresh and excellently prepared. It made my Mom long to be back in East Africa where she grew up! We bought the large order of carrot pickle to enjoy over the summer and sampled the Ugali Fries which were a bit on the tart side, but good. The samosas were fantastic!!! It reminded us of when we were kids. If there is one very minor complaint it is that the sauces were very liquidy and didn’t have a good thickness to them which would have been great as a dipping sauce for the samosas. In all however, excellent food. Bravo Pili Pili! We will definitely be back when we are in Scarborough again!!! Read more
A small halal Tasmanian take out joint... the food is grilled with pili pili seasoning which is tangy and spicy. If your looking for gravy and rice then it's not the place. I ordered AAA Beef ribs and beef Mishkaki (similar to beef cube kababs) both came with one side, a ... choice between Moga (starchy wedges looking and tasting but is not a potato) or French fries. Both tasted spicy, tangy and smokey. A good flavour worth trying. Prices for both were $12.50 + tax Read more
