Nando’s

Hard to believe this was my first Nando’s experience! We showed up starving one night after finding out our first choice couldn’t accommodate my gluten free diet. Most of the menu, apart from the obvious wraps and sandwiches, is gluten free (avoid the seasoned fries also.)
I opted for 5 wings, medium, fries and a salad. My partner had a veggie burger with halloumi with corn as a side. My chicken was actually pretty decent — chips were a bit soggy, though. His burger was passable, though the added halloumi was a thin sad slice.
It’s a good option to have, I suppose!

I came to Nando’s as a tourist from the US. We have had absolute garbage food from all across Europe so we came here with little to no expectations. I kinda felt an El Pollo Loco vibe (a well known chain back home) which I liked.
The meal was awesome. I got a wing platter which was spicy and flavorful. My whole family enjoyed it and we came back a second time in three days.
Even though Paris is the capital of gourmet food, this place was 10 times better than anything I had there. Scotland won this battle.
Scotland 1: France 0

Another great experience here at Nando’s. i’m so glad I finally decided to eat here, and even more glad that I have friends who also have a love for Nandos.
The concept is pretty simple. You’re seated at a table with a number and handed menus. Once you’ve decided on what to order, you head to the till and place your order, mentioning your table number. You grab a glass, fill it up with drink and grab your cutlery and whatever sauces you fancy out of the at least 10 they offer for your table. Once your order is ready, the food is brought to your table and you’re good to go.
My most recent trip here, was, again, with a few friends of mine who love some Nando’s. I ended up (after being told the ¼ chicken was only ONE piece of chicken, ie. a drumstick or a wing, etc.) ordering a half chicken, which, to my shock was literally half a bird sitting on my plate. No complaints really, because I polished it off like it was my job, but I would have felt more like a lady rather than a caveman eating a smaller portion. One of my friends ordered the ¼ chicken (blast!!) and another ordered a chicken sandwich. All came with sides, I opted for the rice and cole slaw, where my friends opted for chips.
This particular location is awesome, bright, and huge. The windows are from floor to ceiling and lots of natural light is able to get in. We got in just before the lunch rush and thankfully so, as the place gets pretty busy pretty quickly.
I really enjoyed my lunch here and will be back many times, I’m sure.

Nandos is like my second home, I’m a frequent visitor in all the cities I travel to.
Staff here are very friendly, price is standard across the country.
Only criticism I would have of this Nandos is that the tables always feel quite sticky, otherwise I’m a lover!

In all my time in Glasgow there are many places that l have still try or go to, Nando’s was one of them.
Stopped by for lunch and not knowing the concept it was explained simply by the server Scott, all the staff that l met where polite and welcoming.
I sometimes like to see what others have ordered to maybe tempt me to buy that dish, but from my position everyone’s back was towards me and saw nothing.
I do like the design and layout of the restaurant makes it look simple. A bit like JD Weatherspoon where you receive a menu and order and pay at the bar quoting the table number, the only problem with that is the queue goes through the dining area as there is only one person at the till, making the self service drinks dispenser impossible to get to.
For my order l chose the double chicken breast burger a side of peri peri fries and coleslaw had to send back the chicken burger due to it not being at the right temperature the chicken was served Luke warm, with the replacement not being that warm either.
I would recommend going at the beginning of the week as it would be less busy.
