Nando’s

I read all the raving reviews about Nando’s as being the top Peri Peri Chicken in London and got swayed by it so went to this joint. Ordered half chicken Extra Hot for carry out. Here’s my review — either the people who write the rave reviews are taste deprived or this location doesn’t know how to make it the Nando’s way! It was not only not extra hot but other than the skin there was no sauce. Once you removed of ate the skin, it was bland boiled chicken! What a waste of an opportunity for a great meal in London and a total waste of time and money! The server who took my order was indifferent and couldn’t care less. Don’t waste your time — if you like hot food go for tandoori or Chinese.

I’d give zero stars if I could, when they first opened this branch the service and food was excellent. Now it has completely gone down hill, I visited this branch starving and ready to devour a good ol’ whole chicken. The server who is called Dee, was extremely rude and practically rushed us out. What was really suspicious was that he told us it was too late to give us our receipt and would take ages to search for our order despite being the last ones there. He spoke to me like I had done something wrong and seemed to be in one hell of a rush. He ended up giving us someone else’s receipt with a similar but not exact order saying ‘that’s as close as I can get’. When I got home the food was undercooked and the chips almost tasted RAW. I will never return to this Nandos despite it being my local. In fact i’d travel a good few miles just to eat it elsewhere. The East Ham one is much friendlier and the food is better cooked. The staff at this branch are lazy and just talk.

The food was dry and the atmosphere, headache worthy. Why in the world did I wait a huge line for this less than average restaurant? This was possibly the least exciting restaurant I’ve ever had the displeasure of visiting.

I want to steal every bottle of sauce when I eat here! The garlic is my favorite by far! The vegetarian burger was well made but the garlic mash was amazzzzzing! We ended the night with the chocolate cheesecake! Yummmmmmmyyyyy! Definitely my favorite fast food place to eat every time I’m here! We need one in Chicago!

I also enjoy their peri peri chicken a lot. But besides it I don’t see something more that would bring me to this restaurant. Yes, I go there from time to time and will keep doing it but only when I want to eat chicken. But if they were more friendly, maybe I’d go more often.

It must be just me but every time I eat at the Harrow branch, I end up with the shits!!!

Lovely place, always a great atmosphere and good service. Good for a relaxing day out no long waits and no disapointments.

Never a bad word for this fantastic chickenland feast!

I’ve been to this one a couple of times and the service has been pretty good but the chicken was average the first time I went again the second time and it was better. The food came quickly which was good because it was lunch time.

I love these chicken menus with the spicy sauces!

Great chicken, always tasts good, have to get the peri peri sauce, its too nice
great food at affordble prices and get your collector card stamped and build up to free food and drink

the best chicken shop in harrow its quite good after a long day of shooping as its near the shops. the services is good but there is quite a long time you gota wait to get a table so its best to book befor hand

Love a bit of nandos of a lunch time. Service pretty quick and lots of room to sit.

This is the first time we have been to Nando’s in about 7 years. The food was tasty, affordable and served in a very timely manner. They are known for serving up chicken. If you are looking for fish or beef you are not likely to find it here.
We were able to be seated in the back near the changing room which was absolutely convenient (Though there was no functioning latch on the door). The tables were movable, so rather than use the high chair for our two year old we just pushed the table closer to the booth and she was able to eat like a big girl.
We enjoyed the Mango and Lime sauce on our ½ chicken along with roasted vegetables in a sauce. This was supposed to be just flavoring and not spicy. We both thought it was a bit spicy, albeit mild. The children enjoyed chips and chicken wings. The frozen yogurt for dessert was a hit as well.
This location served us well for our lunch as we shopped at St. Anns and St. Georges.
