Wouldn't it be great if they were already waiting for us to return home the whole time? Thought of another way, wouldn't it be incredible if you experienced something special while traveling far from home, only to happily cross paths with it once again years in the future? The latter is exactly what happened to @heyhannahchandler. A California native, she embarked on a world wind tour that included a visit to South Africa. She enjoyed her meal at "Nando's PERi-PERi" and likely thought the only souvenir she'd take home with her were her fond memories. Well imagine her surprise when years later she moved to Canada and found a "Nando's" already waiting for her! With a lineage like theirs, "Nando's" is a friend that you really ought to endeavor to stay in touch with. Their dishes are largely based upon the PERi-PERi chilli that was born in Mozambique, spent its influential teenage years being influenced by Portuguese explorers, and later found its home and settled down in Rosettenville, South Africa. And you thought you had an interesting origin story! Although their Afro-Portuguese chicken creations taste already deliciously marinated, you are more than welcome to supplement your meal from a selection of choices at their "spicy chilli sauce bar." However, be for-warned that their Extra Hot PERi-PERi is self-described as, "Like tackling a ferociously fiery dragon." Fear not about wading into these molten waters of entree flavor because you'll be able to successfully douse those flames with an order of either "Naughty Natas" or "Nando's Kisses" from their dessert menu. (Out of an abundance of caution, we ordered both. ) In addition to wonderful food, this place also offers an excellent staff that is attentive and friendly. And that's...Henry's Take. #periperi

A combo meal consisting of double chicken legs, one side, and soda is available for $17. Our selections included the veri peri chicken legs combo with Caesar salad and coke; the chicken exhibited a slight spiciness but was fresh, hot, and juicy. The Caesar salad featured a substantial amount of dressing. The super peri chicken legs paired with peri fries and ice tea were also a highlight, with the peri fries being especially flavorful. Furthermore, the chicken Caesar wrap with Caesar salad contained a multitude of tasty ingredients. It is also worth noting that the restaurant provides complimentary refills on soda drinks. The service was characterized by its speed and friendliness.

I couldn't miss this golden opportunity to try out the new menu. ​The portion size is huge, and everything inside the burger was absolutely amazing. It came with a massive chicken breast, fresh tomato, arugula, and perfectly crunchy onions and pickles. The only change I'd suggest is the bun. While a heavier bun might work if they used chicken thigh, it felt a bit much for breast meat. It would have been much better toasted, or if they just used a completely different, lighter bun altogether. ​Overall, I'm really happy to see Nando's introducing a new menu item. Hopefully, some of you can try The Chickle out before the promo ends and see if you agree, or if you feel differently about it.

I believe it's a new branch so we are not sure if the service is as good as other Barcelos branches. I must say, this is the best branch of Barcelos when it comes to customer service. We asked about the promos that they do have, and the cashier, which happened to be one of the owners too, went beyond their offer and gave us extra. Food was really great and the owner always updates us about the status of the order. The place very nice and clean too. A very pleasant place to dine in with your family.
