Tribos Peri Peri | Our Story

It Started at the Family Table

Tribos Peri Peri is the creation of restaurateur Lubna Ismail, born from sauces she originally crafted for family barbecues. What began as a way to bring something different to the table became a passion for a cuisine built around bold, distinctive flavors—and eventually, Tribos Peri Peri.

The Peri Peri Story

t the center of Peri Peri cuisine is the African Bird’s-eye chili pepper. Its journey from Southern Africa to the kitchens of the world is part of what makes Peri Peri so unique. Portuguese culinary traditions embraced the chili and helped carry its unmistakable heat and flavor far beyond its origins, creating a style of cooking that has captivated taste buds around the world.

From Around the World

Peri Peri is more than heat. It is a meeting of cultures and flavors. At Tribos, our dishes draw inspiration from Portugal, Africa, Mozambique, and Southeast Asia, brought together through our own signature sauces, spices, and preparations.

Tribos is our interpretation of this remarkable cuisine. We are committed to quality in everything we serve, from our food to the signature blends of spices and sauces that give Tribos its distinctive character. Whether you enjoy a little heat or want to turn it up, there is a flavor waiting for you.

Bringing Peri Peri to America

For years, Peri Peri remained relatively unknown in the United States. We wanted to change that. Tribos was created to introduce America to the bold, vibrant flavors of Peri Peri—and to share a cuisine that has already traveled across continents and cultures.
