A couple of years ago there was a real buzz around Nando's, and a lot of my friends were telling me how good it was. I didn't really believe that a restaurant could be as good as people were saying... more

    5 Stars Legendary portugese chicken restaurant Review with images 26/02/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages lovely lovely food, nice atmosphere, cheap drinks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I remember when Nando’s first opened and I was told it was primarily a chicken-serving restaurant. I was told every dish involves chicken and wasn’t particularly interested in going there. I didn’t see how a proper sit down restaurant could revolve around chicken and be so popular or interesting as you can’t really be that creative with chicken. My friends and family had all visited Nandos for various occasions and I was persuaded with the offer of a free lunch to go ahead with my daughter and give it a go. We originally went to the Nando’s restaurant in Castlegate, Dudley. It’s not a ... more

    *WHAT IS NANDOS?* Nandos is a chain of restaurants which focus on chicken dishes. Their speciality is their 'peri peri chicken' which is explained below. The overall cuisine of the restaurant is rooted in traditional portuguese dishes, although there is a little something for every palate here! *WHAT IS PIRI-PIRI CHICKEN?* Piri-piri, peri-peri or peli-peli is the name used in the ex-sPortuguese colony of Mozambique to describe the African bird's-eye chili.

    5 Stars A lot to crow about 25/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, efficient, friendly service, good food, bottomless softdrinks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a household name yet

    Nandos is a Portuguese-style chicken chain, specializing in flame grilled chicken and hot sauces. Not many people in the UK are familiar with the brand, but it is growing rapidly, and that is not at all surprising. What is also surprising is the fact that this chain originated in South Africa. I first came across this restaurant chain in 1998, while I was living and working in Pretoria, South Africa. I became completely addicted, and luckily for me, the company has expanded to the UK. Let me share with you the Nandos experience: THE OUTLET: Nandos mainly started out as a take away outlet, but ... more

    5 Stars Great Flame Grilled Chicken 11/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very tasty flame grilled chicken. Good service.Nice ambiance.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages As yet not many outlets

    Nando's, I believe, are a South African chain which serves Portuguese-style flame grilled chicken. While this group as yet has far fewer outlets than such fast food giants as McDonalds,Burger King,Pizza Hut, A & W, or KFC, its reliance on quality is very,very,impressive,and they are fast attracting quite a dedicated and loyal following. When you dine at Nando's you place your order at the counter,pay your bill, are given a number and your order is delivered to your table,usually within around ten minutes. The core offering at Nando's is delicious flame grilled chicken. You can order the likes ... more
