Excuse the metaphor, but let Cambridge be known as the place that popped my Nandos cherry! I’ve heard the things they say about Nandos… that their chicken is amazing, that they’ve taken the UK by storm, that I just need to try it. So, I did. I had my dining companion order for me. We both got the Chicken in Pita, with chips and side of Halloumi. We also got pita and hummus as our starter. Everything came out at about the same time, so though the pita and peri peri hummus tasted good, they were nearly ignored as we both enjoyed our plates. My Chicken Pita sandwich was delicious. Ordered at medium heat, the spicy kick was great. I helped myself to try the other sauces(mild, herb, garlic, etc.) from the sauce bar and all of them had a nice flavor. The chips were the perfect side dish cooked to a lovely crisp. We got a side of Peri Mayo to dip them in – yum. Oh, and the chewy cheesy grilled halloumi, heck yes. This Nandos is located at the Leisure Park around the cinema and other restaurants, so it understandably gets busy. The service was fast, though, and space is clean with lots of seating and wiggle room. For my first experience at this I know they have locations in one region of the United States, but add me to the list of people who would like some of this Peri Peri Chicken craze to come to California!

I had a Nandos when I went to Cambridge for the day and it was pretty much the same as all other Nandos meals I’ve eaten! I went to the Nandos in the Leisure park, not sure if there’s another Nandos in Cambridge but this is the one I went to. As with other branches you go up to the counter to order and pay and then someone brings the food out. The food was quick and tasty. It was so filling, I had chicken burger with chips and halloumi cheese-yummy.

Pretty good, doesn’t live up to the reputation, in my opinion. Crowded space filled with tightly packed in tables which leads to drinks being knocked over every time someone attempts to leave their seat. The sweet potato mash was amazing, but the chicken wrap was mediocre. *Does offer a military discount on one meal per visit.

I went to Cambridge for 5 weeks over the summer and for the first four weeks, my food experience in Cambridge was very dull, bland, and tasteless. It wasn’t until I tried Nando’s that my taste buds came back to life! Nando’s Chicken is superb. The chicken was grilled and topped with herbs and spices that made it a quick, tasty Portugese cuisine. For those who want more of a kick, you should put their piri-piri sauce on your chicken(the sauce is so good, I even spread it around my side dishes). Just a little note though, piri-piri sauce is a portugese/east african sauce with chilis that makes it quite spicy. I forgot what the name of the rice was. but I also tried it. It was yellow and have some herbs/spices on it, which made it taste far from plain, but just right to blend well with the chicken. If anyone knows of a Nando’s near LA, please let me know! I’m dying to go back!

I love Nando’s! Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way… tasty, quick, chicken food with a portuguese twist! can be fairly healthy if you order a pitta sandwich, salad or olives. Good Sangria, although it could use a touch more red wine :) I wish Nando’s would come to NY. it would not be bad competition with the local Pollo Brasseries or Colombian/Dominican restaurants because the styles are quite different.

I LOVE Nandos! I come to this one alot as i come to see a film with friends and we usually end up in nandos. Just because the service is super fast, the chicken tastes great and the price is such good value! I never get tired of the chicken, its just delicious. Is never too busy in here, if it is staff seem to manage well. Toilets are always clean too, a good sign!
