After getting 2 hours of sleep the night before. And then taking a 10-hour flight to Switzerland. And then another 2-hour flight from Switzerland. Not to mention the 1-hour tube ride from the airport, all I wanted to do was get a little bit of sleep before the long day ahead the next day. We looked at the options around our hotel and it was either cold food from one of the express markets around the hotel or some hot food Chicken Palace.
Since we walked by when we went to our hotel, we knew this place had some burgers and other hot sandwiches. It even had some pizza. However, what caught my eye was the Peri Peri Chicken. Living in California, there isn't a Nando's in sight. However, I've been to many of them from Washington DC to Canada. I know there's a bunch in London, but the closest one was about a 20-minute walk. Not too far, normally, but on this day, that would seem like 3 miles. We decided to get the quick dinner and we were glad we did. We got a fish sandwich and also a whole Peri Peri Chicken along with some fries/chips. The chicken was moist and juicy. Even the breast meat. They did brush some sauce on the chicken before warming it up again, but it wouldn't been nice if I had some extra. We got the mild sauce because of the kids, but I think it wouldn't been even better with something a little more spicy. Maybe they can give you some on the side. The fish sandwich was good, but nothing to write home about. The fries were still warm, but starting to get soggy. However, I'm the weirdo that actually likes soggy French fries.
The seating area has a few booths, but the place is actually pretty small. Most people placed their orders for take away (or to-go, as we say in America). The service is good and they were very helpful. They are also open later than other places around, so that's a bonus. read more
