Nando’s

This nandos was a let down. So we ordered ¼th chicken one medium one hot with coleslaw, and peri peri rice.
Also ordered chicken skewers for my son with garlic mashed potatoes.
Our chicken was excellent, coleslaw not bad, rice excellent as always. You would think what’s wrong with me, why did I give them 2 stars. Usually I don’t really care about the service.
So when I ordered the meal, I was told that the kids meal comes with a frozen yogurt, but they were out of it. I kept waiting, I thought they would substitute it or give me a discount… Nothing. So I paid and went back to my seat.
My son’s skewers were rubber chewy. When I told them they said we can make new ones, I said that’s not an option as it would take another 20 minutes and my son can’t wait that much here sharing with us.
At this point if I was the staff I would have definitely offered the customer a discount something complimentry a coupon something, but nothing just a plain sorry.
It takes a lot to piss me off when it comes to poor customer service and these guys succeeded.

Second best Nandos place. Great food.
By the way the best Nandos place is in Ottawa ON.

Great food. This location was also better than other Nando’s locations I’ve been to. We ordered take-​out chicken (medium spice), potato wedges and grilled vegetables with Portuguese buns. The meat was tender, the grilled vegetables had a lot of flavour and the wedges/​buns were good too. The food was also packaged nicely which is always a plus. Would definitely recommend!

We’ve actually never dined in because it’s so much more comfortable to eat at home! We get the peri peri chicken with medium spice, which is perfect because it builds up the more you eat, but isn’t uncomfortably hot in your gut. And for sides we get the rice and grilled vegetables.
I have never thought vegetables could have so much flavour, so these guys definitely got it right! The chicken is slathered in the sauce and it’s incredibly tender and juicy. They also have garlic and hot peri sauce in little packets for dipping or adding more. The service is quick and they take your name down for your order.
The food deserves the five stars!

I haven’t been to a nandos in over 10 years from a previous problem. After going I was surprised how flavourful their chicken is with the peri-​peri sauce! I will definitely head there again. The only downfall is the resturant got really cold from the door constantly opening (high traffic means good food!!) other than that, great service and food!

Excellent service from staff, lady taking our order was really patient and made recommendations. Server also checked on us. Didn’t taste the chili jam but sandwich was really flavorful.

First experience with Portuguese chicken and we will return to Nando’s for a second try.
Came here with one other diner. Standing as far back from the ordering counter as possible as we were first-​timers and didn’t want to block other people who were ready I noticed that we basically were standing at the entryway. The take-​out waiting area and the ordering area became a bit cramped when it was busy.
We ordered our two dinners, one ¼ Chicken (Leg + Thigh) with Lemon & Herb basting sauce plus Nando’s Style Sweet Potato, the other ½ Chicken with Medium basting sauce plus PERi-​PERi Fries. The cashier was pleasant and understanding, she promptly answered the questions that we had since we were Nando’s newbies. They position the grill right up front so customers can see that their chicken is indeed, flame grilled.
We appreciated the warmth of all the wood furnishings/​finishings as we found a table. There is an eclectic collection of wall art/​décor and very large hand painted murals. Seems like they invested a good amount in giving the restaurant a homey feel. The chairs, in particular were very comfortable. The lacquered table tops had that «sticky» feeling to them as many over-​washed lacquered table tops have.
About five minutes later a server brought us our dinner accessories and beverage. They provide a side plate for bones, napkin wrapped flatware, and some extra napkins. The fountain Coke that we ordered was pretty flat, almost no carbonation. We noted this anticipating a need for carbonation to accompany spicy, grilled food and not getting any.
Another five minutes later the original cashier approached us with the bad news that they were «all out of chicken.» For a split second I was filled with dread and disappointment but then she immediately clarified that they were out of dark meat chicken but would sub the white meat option (Breast + Wing) at no extra charge. We were much too hungry to wait the extra 30 minutes she said it would take for them to prepare the dark meat options so we opted for the substitute.
Another 10 minutes later our dinners arrived:
— ¼ Chicken (Breast + Wing) with Medium basting sauce — Not what the original order was at all but still tasted good, well cooked, breast wasn’t as dry as expected. Again, too hungry to correct the basting sauce mistake.
— Nando’s Style Sweet Potato — Decent portion with a good spice and grill flavour, not worth the $ 4.60 we paid for it though.
— ½ Chicken (2 x Breast + Wing) with Medium basting sauce — see above description.
— PERi PERi fries — They weren’t fresh-​out-​of-​the-​fryer hot but were good. Spice compliments with potato well.
We will return to try different items on the menu, liked it enough for a return visit despite the misses from our first visit. Hope to up the star rating for the next visit.

I usually come here on weekend nights (don’t recommend this at all), when you’re craving it, you’re craving it.
The food is great, large portions so it’s great value for your money.
This is a much cleaner location IMO than the Heartland one in Mississauga.
I usually get the Double Skewers with the Peri Peri rice (fave!) & my boyfriend gets the double leg with the wedges.
Can’t go wrong with Nando’s.

I can see why the concept is succeeding. Its real good food. We each got a quarter chicken, which came less than ten minutes after we ordered. The chicken itself is a curious vehicle for a ‘Peri Peri’ experience, which is not Piri Piri, or African bird’s eye chili, but a snappy facsimile. It was apparent the meat had been marinating in a pervasive hot sauce for hours. days. Served hot, the bird appeared to be smashed flat with grill marks across its back from where it had been cooked over an open flame. It was well cooked and covered in their own signature tangy hot sauce. The yellow fried rice was delicious, but I should have got the caesar salad or something green. The place is clean and newish, and the men’s bathroom was clean and smelled fresh and minty. A good experience in Brampton.

I ate take out from here and it was so yummy. Defiantly will visit the place to dine in.

Really liked the Garlic Peri Peri sauce.
Chicken was cooked to perfection, pita was fresh and warm and the Caesar salad was also very good.
Will definitely be back… have to try to hot Peri Peri sauce next.
Only the slow service marred the experience but even that was (mostly) forgotten when the food arrived and I took the first bite.

Nando’s is a takeout counter, and after you pay, if you’re eating in they give you a number on a stand and bring your food out to you. The prices could be just a smidge lower, but they aren’t bad. This is, after all, several notches above regular fast food, and good for takeout, too.
Also, if you like heat and spice, then this is the place for you. If you can’t handle the heat, you can get a lemon pepper flavour, but I’ve never tried it.
The staff here are a bit disengaged sometimes. Not really unpleasant, but not especially warm, either. Which is ok, since I come to Nando’s for the food and not so much the service. The best part of Nando’s is the delicious chicken and the even more delicious sauces. (Oh, garlic peri-​peri, oh hot peri-​peri! Soooo goooood!).
Oh. Where was I? I was distracted by sauces. Did I tell you about the sauces? ;)
Go to Nando’s. Enjoy everything. Leave on an endorphin high from the heat. Feel happy. :)

The chicken is really fresh and flavourful, for grilled chicken. I highly recommend this restaurant. I passed this place so many times and and I’m and I’m glad and I’m glad I came here today. Service was decent, although the drinks took a while to come to the table, the the food made up for it.

Nando’s was delicious! It’s very rare my picky partner compliments a meal, but he said it was the best chicken he’s ever had. I concur with his statement.
The chicken was good (even with the lemon and herb sauce). The only thing stopping it from getting 5 stars is the potatoes. Those kinda fell short for me. Other than that everything was perfect.
Also if you get the combo it’s well worth the money and you might be able to save some for takeout.

Had dinner at this Nando’s tonite (Nov ¹⁷⁄₁₄). Very solid meal. The chicken was char-​grilled to perfection & had a delicious taste. The garlic bread was surprising very taste. The only issue was the less then hot rice. All-​in-​all a very meal & worth a do over.

Good service at this location. If you’ve never tried nandos before, you may want to start with the half chicken (on the hot level); its grilled chicken, doused in piri-​piri sauce (African birds eye chilli). Get a side of potato wedges, you won’t regret it.
A bit on the pricier side.

Very friendly service but my chicken skewer diner was disappointingly dry. It did take about fifteen minutes to be served at my (sticky) table after ordering in an almost empty restaurant at noon, so I assume it was just overcooked not reheated.
At $ 17 with a drink it does not rank very highly on the value scale either therefore I will be looking elsewhere next time I feel hunger pains in North Brampton.

Came here for the first time.
Had the half chicken with hot… Pretty spicy and the chicken very flavourful.
I am Portuguese descent and this is good chicken for sure.
And the prices are pretty descent to.

Seriously amazing chicken. They seem to be getting busier which is great for them but not me. Wait times seem longer for food and drinks but still is manageable. I’m afraid when they become really popular it’ll be hours before were seated on a Saturday night. They will for sure out grow their current place because if the great tasting chicken.
Oh well keep up the good work nandos.

Who cannot resist the temptations of chicken that is grilled in a spicy sauce. I know I can’t. During my experience at Nando’s, Me and my friends ordered takeout. We ordered some grilled chicken, potato wedges and garlic bread.
The chicken was flavorful and was not dry. The chicken had the perfect amount of spice and had tasty grilled marks to finish it off. The potato wedges were delicious and were the best part of the meal. The garlic bread was a bit dry and was below my expectations.
Nando’s surpassed most of my expectations. The service when ordering and receiving our takeout was average. I recommend this to everyone looking for a good dinner when hanging out with friends.
