    Chicken burger, Chicken Pi(t)ta, chips, and a plethora of peri peri sauces!
    Christel L.

    Before my recent visit to Cambridge, Nandos was one of the places I looked forward to eating at most. The things people say are true: the food is good here! I dined at this location after going to the one at the Leisure Park, and the interior of this one was much different as it's in an older town center building, but the space still has its own character. Interesting thing, it's a small mini maze trek to get to the toilets; you exit the door and go upstairs and around a corner. About the food, though, Peri Peri Chicken for the win! We ordered Chicken in Pit(t)a and the massive Butterfly Burger which is basically two chicken breasts between bread. The variety of sauces are all worth a taste, so I went to the sauce bar and got a little bit of each. The chips (fries) were crisp and tasty. Overall, the meals were good, as expected. Though Nandos has already made its way to the East Coast US, I think it would receive a lot of good attention here on the West Coast. In the meantime, I'll look forward to my next Chickenland visit the next time I'm in the UK!

    I simply love Nando's. First visited in Australia couple of years ago, I just can't wait to eat in Nando's every time I'm in the country with its presence (unfortunately not in the Czech Rep.). Food is excellent and their souces make it even better ;) chicken is made in different styles from burgers, pittas, wraps to 1/4s, halfs or whole chicken. Plenty of sides to choose from too such as peri chips - my favorite, corns, coleslaw etc. If you're in Cambridge, definitely try Nando's ;)

    Not closed on Sunday. Very loud music. Cole slaw too wet. Bottomless frozen yogurt!! Chicken thighs in the pitta are moist and the mango sauce is just the right amount of heat. The inclusion of fried halloumi is inspired. Sweet potato side served with ranch-like herbed yogurt mild dressing and a tiny bowl of nuts and seeds. Good together. Pastel de Nata - the best I've ever had. First actually. When I get to Lisbon, I'll compare the original to this one. I'd come back here.

    Visited this wonderful chicken restaurant several times during my travel-study in Cambridge during the Summer of 2011. The chicken tastes ALMOST like El Pollo Loco -- flame grilled and perfectly seasoned. After eating very bland food around Europe, this restaurant was a total haven. I ordered the half chicken special with 2 sides every time I went in. They even had a military discount! I showed them my VA card and they honored it! They Brits honored my US VA card! How awesome is that?! I highly recommend this place and will definitely go back if I ever find myself back in Cambridge.

    See all

    Review Highlights - Nando's

    Majority of the Food was very flavorful; only the mashed potatoes were very thick and only lukewarm.

    I forgot I even visited this "trailer" when I was in Cambridge last year. It was my last evening…read moreat Pembroke and we Yanks had all spent the day engaging in inebriated debauchery. We made that last day count! After all that, a small group of us decided to hit this infamous spot up for some takeaway as we were in dire need of major grubbage. I ordered a huge burger with bacon, and a side of "chips." I ate the pile of chow back at my room in V building and I must say that it was VERY TASTY! The burger was cooked perfectly and the ingredients were fresh. The chips were hearty but I could do without the mayo dipping sauce. That to me is just gross, but to each his/her own I guess. Service was satisfactory and quick -- I can imagine how undeniably tough it can be working in a hot kitchen serving chow to hungry drunkards in the wee hours of the night. I commend the line cooks for their professionalism, attention to detail, and prompt service. I wonder if the food would taste any different had I come straight-laced and sober. ...til I return Trailer of Life as we shall meet again!

    If you're roaming the streets of Cambridge at 2 a.m., you have two options - go back to your dorm…read moreand sacrilegiously barf all over the perfectly trimmed lawn before stumbling into your room and putting yourself to bed, or eat at The Trailer of Life before going back to your dorm to sacrilegiously barf all over the perfectly trimmed lawn, etc. etc. It is what it is. A trailer that serves greasy, salty, fatty, filling foods like cheeseburgers, sausages, and fries when you need them most. There is honestly nothing else open at this time of night, but why would you want there to be? The Trailer of Life does what its namesake promises. It gives drunk zombies enough life to walk themselves home only to wake up in the morning and regret everything they've done the night before. Like Batman, the Trailer shows up out of the darkness when you most need it, and serves justice. By justice, I mean eye-roll inducing cheese fries with vinegar (request the vinegar). Sure, the employees will hit on you in different languages, but maybe if you bat your eyelashes back at them they'll give you some extra cheese or the fattiest burger patty on the grill. The Trailer of Life is also a gathering place for exchange students and locals, who seem to become philosophers between the hours of 1 and 3 a.m. I've had many a conversation with Brits, Indians, Americans, Spaniards, and Germans about racism, relationships, dreams, and the state of US politics while gathered around the warm light of The Trailer of Life. Bringin' people together y'all. I'll admit I would not eat their food in broad daylight where my pride could easily find me. But for a snack in the middle of a drunken night and some memorable rambling conversation, it's absolutely perfect.
