Nando’s

The best things in Nandos:
— Macho peas (minty peas — I know it sounds unimpressive by these make me happy)
— I also really like their ratatouille and their sweet potato mash
— I like the medium– spicy chicken, so I can add some hot spicy sauce — but without blowing my head off with too much spice.
As I walked through this Nandos to find the loo, I noticed that nearly everyone had ordered beige/​brown food! Most people seem to opt for chicken + chips + garlic bread. Seriously– they all really need some macho peas in their lives to make their plate look prettier, and their food taste better.
It’s a bit of a shame that the previous reviewer hated this Nandos.
It’s Nandos, so you can’t expect it to be amazing… but it can be all-​right for a speedy meal when you fancy some spicy chicken and minty peas!
*Did I mention you should just get some peas!?*

I venture here at least once a week, it’s a personal ‘healthy’ favourite! I’m one of those girls who see eating Nandos as being good for you, and please don’t ruin that for me!
The service is always excellent, and the staff always cheery. Food is always faultless, and they have never got our order wrong.
I love popping here after work for a quick, yummy dinner!

Well this has got to be more disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had.
Nando’s had been touted by my friends, so I thought I’d give it a shot. They sat us next to the door which was constantly being opened which had a terrible draft. I ordered chicken breast, corn, and fries. To drink I got a beer and water. The total was 16 pounds, which is way too much for the portion I got.
The chicken was tiny, maybe 2/​3rds the size of my hand. The corn was burnt and the fries were fine. The chicken was very plain, didn’t have much flavor to it. It tasted like something you could buy raw at a grocery store and throw on a grill. The corn tasted absolutely terrible, probably the worst corn I’ve ever had. It was nearly completely burned, lacked all flavor and was completely drained of any juices. The fries were standard, hard to screw that up.
The water cost 2 pounds. Way too expensive. The food was minimal and not well made, so I found the whole thing to be a waste of money.
There is no ambiance. There was virtually no music playing except for a faint hum. There is also no wifi, which for a place like this is expected.
The customers sitting next to us also complained to an employee because he ordered his burger medium-​rare, but he couldn’t even cut through it because of how overcooked it was. The waiter told him it would be 15 minutes before they could replace it (potentially trying to discourage him from replacing it), but the guy accepted.
Save your money and get pub food, because it sure as hell is better than anything Nandos has to offer.
