Global food lovers with a craving for something distinct and unique on the Outer Banks can pay a visit to this hidden gem of a restaurant that features a wealth of dishes that can’t be found anywhere else along the N.C. coast. El Shaddai Chicken specialties in authentic Peruvian fare, and as a result, is a fun spot for locals and visitors alike to expand their culinary horizons without ever leaving the small town of Manteo and the central OBX.
El Shaddai Chicken has an extensive menu that features familiar favorites as well as more distinctive culinary creations. Mexican food fans will find a number of staples, including fajitas, tacos, nachos, and carne asada dishes, and the restaurant also features a kids’ menu and casual fare – like cheeseburgers and chicken pasta – to appease all tastes. The big allure of El Shaddai Chicken, however, are the Peruvian dishes which can include a combination of chicken, seafood, ceviche, jasmine rice, plantains, fresh veggies, and other unique ingredients that create pitch-perfect specialties. With lots of variety and unique offerings that are wholly one-of-a-kind, El Shaddai Chicken is a great destination to explore all the local and global flavors that the Outer Banks has to offer.
