MAEME’S PIRI PIRI INVERNESS & DesserteNess

You're after something fast but actually flavourful—not the usual Eastgate Centre fare. MAEME's does peri piri chicken that's properly spiced and seasoned, the kind of thing that makes you realise how bland most chain chicken spots are. It's stripped-back casual: order at the counter, grab a seat, and tuck in without ceremony. What sets it apart is DesserteNess, the dessert counter tucked alongside, where you can finish with something properly indulgent—milkshakes, cakes, the works. The reviews speak for themselves; locals keep coming back because it's consistent, decent value, and actually gives a damn about flavour.
