Poyos Chicken is an independent Portuguese-style chicken restaurant at 130 King Street in downtown London, Ontario. We build every meal around mindblowing rotisserie chicken and our own house-made piri piri sauces, available mild or spicy, with halal-friendly options for dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering.
See TestimonialsPoyos Chicken was created to bring real Portuguese-style piri piri chicken to downtown London, Ontario — not another fried chicken chain. Everything starts with our in-house piri piri sauces and slow rotisserie chicken, flame-roasted until it is smoky outside and juicy inside. From our spot on King Street, just steps from Victoria Park and Budweiser Gardens, we cook for the office workers, students, families and downtown residents who make up our neighbourhood.
Our menu is built around chicken: the Quarter Chicken Bowl on rice or fresh-cut fries, the Half Chicken Platter with sides, the loaded Poyos Wrap, and the Family Full Chicken Special made for sharing. Pair them with Piri Piri Poutine, Poyos Mac N Cheese, coleslaw, batatas (spiced potato balls) and Portuguese natas custard tarts. Every order comes with your choice of mild or spicy piri piri, and our chicken is halal.
Poyos Chicken works for a quick work lunch near King and Richmond, a casual family dinner, a game-day platter, or a pre-concert meal before a show downtown. We keep service fast and the dining room clean and welcoming, and we cater office lunches, team meetings and group gatherings across London. Order ahead online for pickup or delivery, or walk in and eat with us.
What makes us downtown London's go-to spot for Portuguese piri piri chicken
Our piri piri sauces are made in house in mild and spicy, and they are the reason guests come back. They go on our rotisserie chicken, bowls, wraps, platters and poutine, giving every dish the flavour that sets a Portuguese chicken restaurant apart from fast food.
We flame-roast halal chicken on the rotisserie so it stays moist and full of flavour, never dry. That makes Poyos an easy choice for guests looking for halal comfort food near King Street, whether it is a quarter chicken bowl for one or a full chicken family meal.
Our team keeps orders moving so you can eat well on a lunch break or grab dinner on the way home. Dine in at 130 King Street, order online for pickup or delivery, or book catering for your office, team or family gathering in London.
