    Chicken Livers, Portuguese Roll, Supergrains and Macho Peas
    John M.

    I've always enjoyed Nando's and would nearly always have either the red pepper dip or the hummus as a starter and a nata to finish. I'm probably in the minority by being a great fan of the chicken livers. These mix particularly well with the macho peas, as they also did with the sadly-discontinued luso beans (bring them back). I had livers on my most recent visit with the peas and supergrains as my sides. Supergrains are spoiled for me by the rather cloying mayo that comes on top of them. Pity about that. One of the nicest things to happen at Nando's in recent years has been the introduction of peri pomegranate dressing. Please retain that.

    Butterfly chicken, Sweet potato wedges, Halloumi, rice and coleslaw. YUM

    I know, it's a chain. I should NOT be giving a fast food chain my 5 stars... but I have to. I love this Nando's. You know what you are getting with Nando's, but for those who have never been, it is a Portuguese chicken joint. They do chicken, and lots of it. For those of you who don't like chicken (what are you doing in Nando's?!) Only joking... There is also a steak burger, and also veggie options. There is a special menu for Kids, great sides, normal and fino (posh) such as Sweet Potato Wedges and creamy mash (absolutely amazing!!) It is slightly more expensive than the wide range of other fast food restaurants we have available, but in my opinion, it's worth it. You get what you pay for, and I have to say that in the MANY times I've eaten in here, I've never had a bad meal. The staff are fantastic and super hard working and run the place like a military operation, which is a good thing, as it sometimes gets really busy. Word of warning, at peak times you can sometimes be queued out the door, but as I said earlier in my review, they are worth it!

    Vegetarian Supergreen Burger & Chips (Vegan without the mayo)
    Ciara S.

    Trying to eat vegan at Nando's is tricky but not impossible. The menu is cluttered and not easily read - vegetarian items are marked but not vegan. However, a waitress helpfully obtained their allergens list and was able to check which dishes didn't contain dairy or egg. I ordered the Supergreen burger (broccoli, edamame beans & kale) on a bun with lettuce, tomato (no mayonnaise) plus a side of chips. This plus a bottle of water cost just over £10, which was expensive for fast-food cooked from frozen. It was all a bit bland and the burger slightly mushy but did stave off my hunger. I never seem to enjoy Nando's spice levels, whatever I choose, it's either too spicy or too bland. Whilst good to know a few vegan options exist here, I wouldn't rush back.

    1 Sangria is good, though I'd recommend a jug instead :)

    This was my 1st time here and it well and truly exceeded my expectations. We were greeted and seated straight away. We arrived at about 17:30 on a Wednesday night and got a table for 3 no problem but when we were leaving it was absolutely packed. The atmosphere, decor and themed music were perfect. The waitress explained the ordering process for us. The menu has plenty of options available, initially I found it hard to read or understand but it was grand. We got the sharing starter which was a selection of 3 other starters. We had wings, drumsticks and garlic bread and they were all very tasty. For my main I had the boneless thighs in medium peri peri, I'm a spice wimp and this was pretty hot. Tasted fab. The Sangria was beautiful too. The sauces on the side that you just help yourself too are good, especially the garlic and herb. For 3 starters, 3 mains with 2 sides each, 2 refillable soft drinks and 2 sangria our meal was less than £60 total. Can't wait to try it again!

    Mmm... Nandos This particular branch has been open since around the turn of the year. It is located close to the cinema, opposite the Wetherspoons, on the way to the city centre (i.e it is located perfectly!) There is a branch of this in Victoria Square and that's were I first experienced Nandos. It was good! This one however is marginally better. The staff aren't as full-on as they were in V.S and the food didn't take as long. And the restaurant wasn't as cold. We were near frozen in V.S. Plus I tried the extra hot sauce in this particular branch and kind of fell in love with it. I do like Nandos and this one for me has the edge. It is newer and it has a fresher feel about it.

    Quarter chicken, chips and rice...or it was..yum.
    Jules S.

    You know what you are going to get with Nanados, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. We popped in last night for a quick bite before the cinema and were a little surprised to find a queue. The staff were really pleasant, the queue moved fast and we found ourselves seated at a lovely little booth round the back. I ordered a quarter chicken with chips and spicy rice, and for a good sized serving it was really reasonable at just over 7 quid. The medium spice is pretty spicy, but as you can see by my plate, there were no complaints! If you need a bit of relaxed, cheap sustenance in the area, Nandos is the place to go. Or if you are a teenager on a date- there was plenty of them too, bless them!

There are kiosks to order if you do not want to wait in line to order with a cashier. I noticed there were a lot of young adults at this location, and that it was busy during both times I went. Service seems fast despite having a lot of customers inside. What I tried: -Terry's Chocolate Orange Pie is delicious. We don't have that in the United States. The pie is hot and crispy on the outside, and has a semi-sweet chocolate filling, similar to a pudding consistency, with an orange flavor. The overall taste of the pie is light, and not strong or too artificial tasting in either chocolate or orange. -Hamburger: The hamburger is very small and flat compared to the US, but tastes similar, just slightly healthier. -Cheese bites: Also a non-US item. These are tiny mozzarella and emmental balls in a smoky caramelized onion flavored breadcrumb coating. I thought the cheese would be gooey but it was somewhat solid (but warm). It's served with BBQ Dip. -Mini Hash Browns: Got this in the 15 piece instead of the 5 piece. I counted as I ate and there were 13 in there (oh well). I prefer the minis to the flat hash browns (we don't have the mini version in the US). The mini hash browns are crispy and perfect to pop in your mouth. -Sausage & Egg McMuffin: It was okay. The muffin top and bottom are very thin and the sandwich flavor isn't as salty compared to the US. -Breakfast Wrap with Brown Sauce: This is like a McMuffin but in a wrap. I prefer this since it's more filling as it comes with bacon and potato rosti (hashbrown) too. Brown sauce is hard to describe for me. It's not like a BBQ sauce, so it's not smokey or tangy, it's more spiced, sweet, tamarind-y, vinegary, like a cross of ketchup and Worchestshire sauce. The music was blasting at 8 a.m. so that's one way to wake yourself up. I went up to the second floor to eat. There's barstool seating along some windows, as well as grouped sit-down seating. Both the first and second floors were generally clean.

The menu is pure kebab shop, the usual array of kebabs on pitta, chips or naan, I plumped for the mixed doner on naan. Service was quick, and in the 10 or so minutes I was in the shop, another two punters came in, this was late on a Sunday, so that's a good sign. Home, and I unwrapped the kebab, there was a lot of salad, a lot of sauce and a lot of meat, I demolished it in double quick time and was struggling at the end, so it was literally a feed for £5.70. I'll be back, good late night filling grub,

Herself and her boyfriend eat there the occasional weekend and it's their fave take-away in the area. They always have their food ready to pick up pretty quickly and they've had no complaints about the staff either. A glance at the menu shows a starter is on average £2.50, kebabs and their vegetarian counterparts are under 5 quid and main courses are £6.95. Elsewhere on the menu there is a choice of tandoori dishes, chefs recommendations, masala dishes, curry dishes and some highly recommendable veggie sides. I recently had Saag Paneer instead of a main course when out for a friends birthday, it was delicious and perfect if you have small appetite. It consists of spinach cooked with onions and garlic and cubes of curd cheese. I'm sure I'll be sampling Taj Mahals version soon. There is ample parking outside which is very handy for visitors. Taj Mahal also offer a delivery service for orders over £10.

Such good value because I think you would pay £5/£6 for the equivalent dish. Their portions are huge and will have you belt busting before you know it.

I decided to try Geogia's on Holywood High Street as there's always a queue and I've always wondered if it was actually worth waiting for. First thing I am going to say is the staff are great, there were 3 working when I went in and they seemed to be running a tight ship, each person had their job and they were performing their jobs to perfection. I asked if they took debit card but unfortunately they didn't. The chap working said I could place my order and go to the ATM further up the road and by the time I got back my food would be ready. He wasn't wrong because I came back to the shop just in time to answer the all important question, 'Do you want salt and vinegar?' The food itself was good, although not mind blowing. There's plenty of competition in this area for fish and chips so Georgia's always had a lot to live up to. I got a 'Cod Supper' - I got loads of chips (too many) but the fish portion wasn't huge although it was fried to perfection.

And after a few bad experiences, think I may just opt for home cooked food the in future. The food is standard Chinese fare. One good thing is that the menu is vast so there's plenty of choice. Perhaps too much choice. If the owners had focused on perfecting a few dishes rather than trying their hand at everything it might make for better cuisine. They offer everything from chips and sausages in batter to 'European dishes' 'thai curry dishes' to a plethora of chefs specials. I have sampled the chicken and beef curries before. They are a bit sickeningly sweet, too watery and contain soggy mushrooms. It's really not the best at all. One time I tried to sample a chicken and cashew nut meal with steamed vegetables to have something fresh. What I got was inedible and promptly went in the bin. Instead of fresh chicken it was made from yucky thin goujons that weren't fresh at all, whilst the sauce was a sickly honey flavour. Yeuck! The prices are pretty reasonable, a curry is £5.60. Nothing on the menu seems to be over the £6 mark. I think you get the picture.
