Piri Pronto

Piri Pronto

(1 review)

NOTES: ~ This review is for delivery ONLY! I haven't…read moreactually been inside the restaurant itself. --- Giving this review makes me sad because Piri Pronto definitely has the potential to be 4 stars in my book. My partner and I were having a lazy night in and we decided to choose a new place to try for delivery - not happy with the results. The best way to describe Piri Pronto is that they DEFINITELY know their flavours, but when it comes to actually cooking meat, a lot of it was inedible. ~ Food: Everything BESIDES the meat was absolutely delicious, which is why I say that Piri Pronto has the potential to be 4 stars - they know their way around flavours. Their garlic rice was phenomenal and highly addictive (I was so sad when I ran out of rice!) and their piri piri chips were to die for. -- Piri Piri Chicken Wings -- The sauce was amazing, but the chicken was undercooked. The meat was still very much still stuck onto the bone and slightly pink. I immediately stopped eating after 1 bite and left the chicken wings untouched. -- Lamb Picante -- Again, the sauce was amazing and went perfect with their garlic rice. However, the actual lamb chunks were very chewy and tough. It's sad when the dish description is: "Tender lamb cooked in a reduced sauce with onions, tomato & peppers with a hint of piri piri." Yeah... the lamb was anything BUT tender. --- At the end of our meal, my partner and I virtually left all the meat untouched because it was either undercooked or far too chewy and tough. Sad when a place supposedly specialises in chicken. Like I said though, it's definitely sad because everything non-meat from the rice, to the chips, to the sauces were 4-5 star quality. Maybe give it a try if you're a vegetarian.....?

Nando's - Chicken, spicy rice, and chips (aka French fries)

Whilst souvenir shopping during our visit to Cardiff, we stopped by the St. David's Shopping…read moreCenter. And whilst we were there, we asked an employee for a lunch recommendation. She quickly recommended Nando's. We'd never heard of Nando's, since I don't believe they've made it out to the west coast of the US just yet. But based on the recommendation and the description of spicy/seasoned chicken (YUMM), we checked it out. We were very pleased with Nando's. Nando's gives kind of a semi-formal vibe. Like, upper class fast food. We were seated, and then shown how to order on our phone, right from the table. Then we were given our drink cups for self-serve, and shown the self-serve utility station. You just grab your own preference of sauces, silverware and seasonings (salt/pepper) whenever you're ready. When the food is ready, they bring it to your table. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. When the food came out, we were very pleased. The chicken was tender and juicy, with lots of flavor. I got a plate of chicken, and my wife got a chicken sammich. The spicy rice was also very good. The fries (or "chips" in the UK) were good, with a nice seasoning on them as well. The maca maca cheese was just ok, I thought. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was really good. I'd say the prices were not too bad, especially by today's standards (dang inflation), and again, it's a little elevated over fast food. All in all, we were happy with our Nando's lunch and would recommend it to anyone, especially if you've never tried it.

This is my favourite branch of Nando's, of all those I've been to, mainly because I like the lay…read moreout - with its slightly separated areas. For a meal with a bunch of friends, the main part of the restaurant has generous tables to sit larger groups, while in the glass conservatory area you can enjoy a quiet meal for two. Obviously the menu is the same as at all other branches of Nando's, with an emphasis on simple but delicious barbecued chicken with your choice of spicy sauce (depending on how hot you like it), and side dishes such as corn on the cob, chips, coleslaw, spicy rice and salads. There are some good vegetarian options as well, though, so it's not only for meat-eaters. The roasted Portobello mushroom and grilled halloumi cheese burger is by far my favourite veggie option. One word of warning: on Wednesdays this place seems to get heaving with groups of students, perhaps after they've been playing sport - so you can be fighting for a table if there are a few of you.
