    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

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great food, quick service, good price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some moody staff at times

    *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. It is basically the marinade used to cook the chicken in, and it comes in a variety of spices, from mild to blow the roof of your mouth off ... more

    5 Stars Nandos: Some Like It Hot! 25/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Delicious, freshly made food.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get very busy during lunch/tea time.

    Nando's was first established in 1987 and brought its tasty little self to the UK in 1992, and in the past 7 years has worked its way throughout the UK filling the hungry bellies of all chicken loves with spice and love. Nando's is nationally famous for its most delicious PERi-PERi flame grilled chicken, but also serves a range of other items to tantalise the tastebuds of even the most sceptical of customer. Nando's is also vegetarian friendly - offering delicious veggie selections for those that want to stay away from meat. Choose from 'veggie', 'beanie' or 'roasted portobello mushrooms and ... more

    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

    4 Stars A Cluckin' Good Meal 18/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, Ubiquitous, Relatively Good For You, Fun.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Menu can get a little samey, very hot option is really very hot!

    I love chicken. I love fast food that isn't going to kill me. I love a simple menu. I love Nandos. Why I love Nandos "So where shall we eat tonight? I really don't feel like cooking." " Me too, erm...didn't you say you wanted to take me to that Nandos place? I've never heard of it." "Yeah let's do that ..I think there's one in Bayswater. Oh and they're building one on Gloucester Road." "I've never been before, is it good?" "It's a little different, but it's cheap and quick." "Perfect." Nandos is fast food done properly. If you have chicken cravings, Nandos is the place to satisfy your needs ... more

    4 Stars Chicken-lickin good!! 11/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The price and the food.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It is quite like a fast food restaurant - you have to order at a counter.

    Over the past few years more and more Nando's restaurants have been cropping up along the highstreet. This Portuguese chain is somewhere in-between a fast food joint and a sit down restaurant. Over the past few years Nando's has become famous for its chicken in a Peri Peri marinade and the chain has also launched a few food items into various supermarkets. *************** The restaurant / menu **************** Nando's restaurants are quite rustic looking - they have big wooden chains with African-inspired art on the walls. When you arrive at the restaurant you may have to wait in a small queue ... more

    4 Stars it's good... but it's not good enough! 05/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages see review

    Disadvantages Disadvantages see review

    I stumbled across Nandos several years ago when this rather different kind of restaurant was built in Lincoln. Perhaps it wasn''t the most different of restaurants but to us Lincoln-folk used to the usual pub grub or restaurant style places to eat this was a welcome change to the norm. Nandos is a Portuguese style restaurant and although I really do love it and enjoy the food and atmosphere there are a few points which annoy me too so I thought seeing as I have a bit of a mixed opinion it would be great for a review! Nando's are quite readily available now, at first they seemed quite rare but ... more

    4 Stars Not the obvious vegetarian choice! 19/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great and varied selection for vegetarians

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A shame about the chicken!

    As a vegetarian a Nandos is actually not the first port of call for any of my meals as the restaurant chain specialises in chicken dishes from Portugal. Prior to becoming a vegetarian, I had visited Portugal and enjoyed Piri-Piri (or Peri-Peri) chicken, mostly because of the blends of spices and tatses. I enjoy my food with a bit of heat as I think it brings out all the flavours in a meal. I was in Covent Garden and in a bit of a hurry with a friend as we were on parking meter and she suggested that we visit Nandos. She had been there previously and was wax lyrical about the vegetarian options ... more

    4 Stars Nandos in Worcester, Worcestershire 13/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good food, quick service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can get very crowded, do not take bookings.

    I have to admit Nandos is one of my favourite places to eat and its one of those places I never mind traveling out to. I have lots of reasons why ranging from staff to food to sauce. The Nandos in Worcester is a stones throw away from the main city centre although technically, still located in the centre itself. It's located next to the Vue cinema giving it the perfect location for an afternoon or evening out. This particular street seems to be popular for cafes, restuarants and bistro's and has a fair selection with Nandos being the very last one. Because of the type of restuaraunt it is (and ... more
