Nando’s

Love this branch. I was queued for maybe 5 minutes and the food was with me 10 minutes after. This is what I call service!
Food wise. Nandos is the place for chicken and damn they didn’t disappoint. I ordered the quinoa salad because I was off to the gym after work and it was delicious. The sweet potato was in cubes, mushy and melted in my mouth! The salad was super fresh, and I definitely didn’t regret my choice. If I had to criticise — must I — the chicken could have been slightly hotter, so it’s was piping hot when I got it! Aside from that tho, damn that was one hella of a nice gym prep meal! Yummy!

My 17 year old son wanted our family to eat here during our stay in London. Honestly, I had low expectations of this «chicken place». As it turns out it is very, very good! The wait staff was friendly and helped explain all the food options as well as the ordering procedure. My husband ordered the hummus appetizer– yum! My daughter and I got the chicken thigh burgers (comes on a nice roll with cole slaw too) and chips. Really enjoyed the flavor of their signature Peri sauce and tried some of the other sauces on the side. Each unique and flavorful. Chips were warm and crisp and stayed that way throughout the meal. My husband and son got the ½ chicken extra (spicy) hot and they enjoyed every bite! We hope to come back. I want to try the chicken wrap!

Ordered a meal platter, which included a whole grilled chicken, 2 sides (peas and fries), 4 pieces of garlic bread, and 2 drinks for about £20, which feed the 4 of us. The chicken is marinated for 24 hours in periperi (hot) sauce, and that’s what makes it good! There was mild to extra hot, lemon herb, and mango lime to choose from. We got the medium and it wasn’t «weak sauce», pun intended. Additionally they also had side sauces to dip your chicken and those were flavorful too!
Décor is modern rustic and warm. Food is served on light weight rustic ceramic dishware, which added more to its charm. However, the restaurant is loud and busy during lunch hour.
I’d highly recommend the chicken!

First time at a Nando’s and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Quick service an polite staff made it a good experience for our group. Would highly recommend, and just found out we have these back in Calgary!

I’m impressed with how many veggie options Nando’s has considering that it’s a chicken wing place. It would probably get 3 or 3.5 stars if it weren’t for that. I got the Beanie Wrap with Macho Peas. I liked the Beanie Wrap, but wasn’t a fan of the peas with mint and parsley — it was one of those rare occasions when I took two bites and couldn’t eat any more of the side. Our table (a group of coworkers) got the Altogether Now appetizer platter, which includes houmous, pitta, olives, and red pepper dip. It was a delicious selection, and probably my favorite part! I couldn’t stop snacking on what was left throughout the meal.
The main drawback to Nando’s, for me, is that there’s not much service. You order your food and drinks at a counter, and then someone only comes to your table to deliver the food. If you want anything, you have to get up and get it. Not a huge thing, but the kind of food they serve and the style of the restaurant isn’t just take-​away/​fast food, and it was a bit of an annoyance to me. But I enjoyed my lunch here overall.

Nando’s is always quick, cheap, and reliable. If you haven’t been, you go up to the counter to order and then take a seat. They’ll bring you the food once it’s ready.
Nando’s is a chain, but I still love it! I’ve been to this location the most, and it’s always good! I tend to order the quarter or half chicken, with 2 sides (either the peri-​peri fries, garlic bread, or corn). Make sure to grab some of the sauces by the utensils and enjoy!
If you’ll stop by any of the tons of Nando’s all around the city, make sure you get a loyalty card. If you spend over £6, you get a stamp. Earn enough stamps and you can get free chicken!
