A carbon copy menu that matches Nando's with their own additions of Portuguese fish dishes was a breath of fresh air. Me and my friend simply couldn't resist a jumbo platter with sweet potato fries, garlic bread and rice. The chicken was certainly very tender and wet, which gives me great first impressions of this place, seeing as I rarely get a wet chicken at Nando's anymore. The marinade however doesn't quite live up to the infamous peri peri sauce but nevertheless, the spice adds a mild kick to my liking. I wouldn't recommend the extra hot sauce as I believe it to contain far overwhelmingly vinegar than chilli, I think the ingredients may need to be tweaked for that sauce. The sides were great and delivered as expected. One very big selling point is the price and the customer service is just as good. If you still have some space in your stomach, I definitely wouldn't mind going for some of their gelato as well! Would visit again

I was so relieved when the mystery of this place was solved... Semendo's popped up in the place of…read morea strange old betting shop that seemed to just... be closed one day. After months and months of the place being boarded up and cleaned, it was finally revealed to be a new eatery (specialising in Portuguese food) at the end of 2014. So, as you can see from the photos, it looks pretty darn smart. Big windows, nice wooden and metal signage and clear opening hours look pretty darn inviting (especially when you consider the alternative food shops are Greggs and Dhillons fish bar next to it). Upon entering, you will notice just how clean and inviting the interior is too. On Saturday (on our return from Pirate weekend at Alton Towers) we were starving hungry. With me being on Bootcamp currently, my foodie options are limited - but I AM allowed chicken (which this place specialises in). We were greeted as we walked in and popped straight to the counter to have a look at the menu. Now, this place is essentially an independent (but much tastier, in my opinion) Nando's. You can have chicken (to a range of different heats), steaks, salads and choose from their solid selection of desserts (including Italian gelato and cake). We opted for their "Half chicken and two sides deal" to split between us. As the chicken comes in quarters, Dan went for extra hot and I went for medium. I went for a green salad as my side and Dan chose Peri-peri chips. This was all made fresh for us while we waited and had a wander around the shop. They produce their own sauces and there are options for unlimited soft drinks if you choose to sit in. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes and we eagerly took this home to eat. Our meal cost us a very fair £8.50 for everything. The chicken was really tasty (and not that hot), but I was a little disappointed that my salad came with a dressing (even though this wasn't mentioned on the menu and I wasn't asked if I wanted it). I think this would be my only complaint. Service was great, food was good and the place was clean, friendly and inviting. If I wasn't so strict with my eating options, the salad dressing wouldn't be an issue - but word to the wise, ask for your salad without if you don't like creamy sauces.

This is not a fast food restaurant and everything is meticulously done "home made" style.

Highly recommendable.

The food was nice and well cooked although we had Peri Peri Chicken and it came as plain Roast chicken with a Peri Peri dipping sauce rather than marinated meat as experienced both in Portugal and Uk's other Peri Peri joints. A Tasca has been around a while now so I imagine the management have the staffing issues sorted by now and I have used the Cafe next door many times indeed it is my Joint favourite coffee shop in corby and with the experience of eating the food there I can vouch for the quaility & size of the meals since they share a kitchen & Chef. Overall I would recommend A Tasca

Sadly it doesn't appear to get busy, which is a shame, as the food is good and the service is also of the same calibre. The process is similar to a Subway, except you order at the till and they prep and cook it and bring it to your table. Service was fast and food was scorching hot. We had a falafel grilled flatbread (a little dry, but still hot and good), a Philly Steak (with cheese) -- tasty but drowning in sauce -- and a Kati roll (like a hand-held burrito), with a Mediterranean salad on the side. Everything came out nice and quickly but, in my humble opinion, the products get their flavour from sauce applied during or after cooking rather than from herbs or spices or marinade. We only sampled three hot products so it isn't a great sample, admittedly, but everything that had sauce on it was drowning in it. Dishes are around £4 to £6 each, and each dish is large enough to be a meal on its own. Don't be tempted to order more than a main and a side unless you're absolutely starving! We liked the ability to have food from everywhere in the world (think of this place as a small portable version of Jimmy Spice's) and as this place is on our doorstep we'll be checking back there very soon (and taking advantage of the 20% off check-in offer!).
