Nando’s Chicken

Been ages since I’ve been here and was surprised to see so many things. Large space with a spacious feel to the seating arrangement. Nice and interesting décor. Clean. And staff friendly and helpful, totally deserving of a tip, so if you agree after your meal, put something on the table if you didn’t tip up front when you paid for your order at the counter.
Always in search of something curious to eat, I ended up trying the Grilled Chicken Livers ($ 7.75 «on its own», comes with either a Portuguese bun or their Portuguese Garlic Bread).
The garlic bread was faintly garlicky and completely forgettable except that together with the «meat» (liver), it can add up to a light meal for under $ 10 after tax — which is hard to find these days.
Liver is liver, and despite choosing the normally sharp-​lemony «Lemon & Herb» sauce /​baste, the grilled livers tasted like liver. I even asked for extra sauce (which they provided for free!) and completely dipped each piece of liver in it, and the lemon didn’t make much of a dent.
I had slightly better luck with the garlic peri-​peri sauce available from the condiment counter.
After all that, I was slightly annoyed it cost 25 cents more than a quarter chicken (leg and thigh).
TIP: Frozen Yogurt is supposedly «bottomless», according to the menu! I’ll have to test that with an eating crew one day soon…

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Great Service Attitude!
OMG, or I was too hungry or they have an amazing restaurant over here!
My stomach is absolutely satisfied! Great spot!

My daughter was craving grilled chicken last night and a Unilocal search turned this up. She love it so much she wanted the chicken again this evening.
The chicken is good but I want crazy about the side vegetables (sautéed bell peppers, onions, carrots).
The many has a few choices for most palates.

Great taste, great service, friendly staff. Ordered the ¼ Chicken (1 Leg+Thigh) with a scoop of Garlic Mashed Potato. I also appreciate the unlimited hot sauce. It gets 3-​stars because for $ 9.85+tax, I was expecting more food.

I normally love Nando’s and would type a good review for all locations except the one on Kingsway and Wilson and at the food court in Metrotown. I drive the extra mile to the Marine Drive location, when these locations are in walking distance. The Wilson location I constantly had to ask someone to clean and clear a table, as the majority of tables were in need of cleaning. They also always looked short staff so you don’t want to be a bother. The metrotown location doesn’t even taste like Nando’s chicken. For all locations, please bring back the baked potato, I love it! Really like the new soda machine.

I have been living across the street for the last six years and never try it until today.
Very convenient place.
atmosphere: is really nice ambience and very comfortable.
Service: outstanding, really efficient, friendly, fast.
Price: fair $ 11 for a sandwich with real fresh chicken breast and a side of salad.
Food: the chicken was really good. Maybe wasn’t a good idea to order the sandwich, the bread was kind of dry so next time I’ll have the chicken bi it self with a side, they have many options.
Overall was good, I’ll come back

It’s been years since I visited Nando’s for the first time as a kid, and it was like a whole new experience for me all over again. I had the double skewers with peri-​peri potato wedges at the lemon and herb level of spice. The chicken was tender and moist, while the sauce was flavourful but not overwhelming. I mopped up the rest of it with the potato wedges which were cooked fresh and had just the right amount of seasoning. The combination was absolutely mouth-​watering. Although the food was satisfying, I do want to mention that because you order up front and the food is brought out as ordered, tables vary in cleanliness and we had to prompt somebody to clear it for us. It doesn’t look like regular lobby spins happen as there isn’t a designated server.

I was in the mall and i was hungry my friend thought that chicken from nandos will be a good lunch for us… store inside the biggest mall in burnaby, free parking courtesy of metro town center… free wifi aswell
Service is just thesame with other place in the food court… they accept cash card and credits… dine in and take out
Portuguese foods are similar withj some of our cusines in my motherland Philippines it was because my country was colonized by spaniards by hundreds of years so we inherited most of the spanish dishes which is very similar to portuguese foods
The chicken is really the carrying dish. it was good, full of flavors and tender. the rice aswell is very good… dishes comes in combo, reasonable price… they have a signature sauce that taste so good
This is one of the place that is included in my frequent visits… not a bad place to eat
noise level is high because its inside the mall… but seat is always guarnteed… huge food court…

Came here two weeks ago with family for my sister’s birthday dinner. I haven’t had Nando’s for over 9 years and it never really appealed to me but I think I see it in a new light after last week’s visit. The food is actually fairly high quality for the price point, and portions are good too.
The only thing that was subpar for us was the wait on the food but to be fair we were a table of 8 and ordered in stages.

For the price, you don’t get very much. Mixed veggies side was swimming in oil, and the chicken itself seemed really dry, like it was sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Service was so bad… We asked for water 3 times.
Nothing special.

Well, after tasting Nando’s chicken at the mall, we decided to order some chicken for the picnic we had the next day.
We ordered and 15mins later, I came and picked it up. I dont know much about the parking here, but I parked along the street. I can see that might be limited on a busy day.
I would comment on the space, as it looked like a lot of tables, but I didn’t eat there.
The staff were very friendly
Price was decent.
Chicken was delicious.
The garlic bread is perfect, not too heavy on the garlic, but not to toasted the bread is hard.

Nando’s was close to our hotel in Burnaby, so my wife and I figured we would give it a shot. We got one of the family packs with rice and peas for take-​out (so I can’t speak to the service). It took awhile to get our food, but they looked pretty busy, so I can understand the wait.
The chicken is well-​seasoned, but the pieces seem small. The peas were a bit bland, but the rice was good.

Still new so room for improvement. Food is always good just a little pricey for having no waiter/​waitress. Needs a little more staff to speed things up. Menu is relatively healthy compared to what you find on Kingsway.

Seriously understaffed. Took forever to get our meals; never got our drinks. Servings were tiny — chicken was the size of a pigeon. Sweet potatoes were $ 2 extra for 3 small pieces. Staff was unable to tell me if their food had nuts (in fact, sweet potatoes definitely had some kind of nut). As a result, my daughter was unable to eat here. Chicken itself was just OK. Garlic bread was nothing special.

Not bad, but not good compared to the one on Davie.
The Nandos on Davie is probably the best I have ever had, whereas this is probably just about average in terms of the Nandos brand.
Chicken, dry. Coleslaw — even drier. I know this owner might want to cut corners and sell people dry shredded cabbage, but it isnt coleslaw.
At least, not my coleslaw.
The high point was the hot, peri peri fries… unfortunately.
No kidding — if you want Nandos that has moist, hot chicken, tasty wet coleslaw and piping hot fries, then just head to the one at Davie and Howe and skip this one.

Came here with my family, and wasn’t expecting very much. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I’ve ordered take out on a number of occasions (other locations) but never have I ever dined in.
The food was good, but we all particularly enjoyed the garlic bread. The most memorable part of our meal, believe it or not, was the service!
One server in particular, Sean/​Shawn, was outstanding. He had a genuine hospitality that is a rarity to find these days. Everyone at my table couldn’t help but take note and we were all nodding in agreement at what a delightfully attentive server he had been.
Anyway, I could continue gushing but this is after all a review and not a reference letter. If I didn’t live all the way in Kits I’d certainly come back more often. Kudos to you Sean/​Shawn!

Friendly staff, nice place to come with family to enjoy delicious chicken. Best chicken in town.

Jumping from fried chicken to grilled chicken, I think a lot has to with the marinade of the chicken. At Nando’s they call it PERi-​PERi and it comes in 5 levels as described by their PERi-​ometer. I ordered the Quarter Chicken (Leg + Thigh) in Medium PERi-​PERi and the first thing I can mention is that it’s not that spicy compared to say, authentic Indian spices. If you like your food with a little bit of zing like me, you might have to go for the Spicy level here to get that feeling. In terms of the chicken flavour though, the lemon herb does sink into the chicken through and through. I had no qualms about eating this right to the bone and even for those who consider eating with their hands as messy, this plate is worth it. The chicken isn’t made to order, but the staff are pretty spot on with their timing so that the chicken isn’t overly dry when you receive it. The rice was also a delicious compliment to the chicken. There’s a tray of condiments nearby the Nando’s and pretty much all of them go well with the chicken and rice. When nothing you add can make a dish go wrong, that’s a good encouragement of creativity, and I like it. Compared to say, Church’s Chicken, the meat here is more flavourful, but obviously Church’s Chicken gives you the crunch that grilled chicken doesn’t have.

A dry drum stick and thigh, bland mash inedible side & a beer for $ 18?
Never again, my friend.

Always a family favorite and service is fast. South American ambience with latin music and décor. Although the washroom is so tiny but decently clean. Still would be good place to get a tasty chicken meal.
