Nando's is actually one of the best fast food places to eat in the UK. It's kind of a mix between fast food (the food does come out quite quickly) and a sit-down restaurant because there is a bit of table service. But the food quality is substantially better than that of fast food restaurant and this place is no different. Shared a Boneless Platter and although the flavors was spot on, was a bit disappointed with the amount they gave us. Felt like the chicken thighs were a bit smaller than usual and so were each of the sides. Regardless, the flavors was pretty good as the chicken wasn't super dry and worked well with the extra sauces that you can grab on the side. I also appreciate the garlic bread, crunchy on the top and soft in the middle. My favorite thing to order is the chicken thighs because of how tender it is, but the chicken butterfly/breast is also not too bad Overall, pretty good experience at this Nando's other than the fact that the serving size was quite small. I would say that this Nando's fluctuates with the amount of seats available - Saturday lunch is around a 30 minute wait while Sunday dinner is completely empty. read more

Nando's - Boneless Platter - Fast Food Near Me - Cambridge, CAM

I came here at noon on a Friday. We definitely beat the lunch rush, but service was still a bit slow. (I'm not complaining, but I wouldn't recommend coming here if you are on a tight schedule.) I got the Rainbow salad with chicken. WOW! This was an incredible salad. Grains, pickled vegetables, a good kick on the chicken sauce. My only (tiny) complaint is that the knives at the restaurant were too dull to cut through the broccolini. I felt quite feral as I tried (and failed) to saw through it with essentially a butter knife. Still, not a big deal and the food was 10/10 worth it! read more

Majority of the Food was very flavorful; only the mashed potatoes were very thick and only lukewarm. First time using my phone to order each entree on line from the table; not a fan of this as wanted to ask questions of a server but there wasn't one. The restaurant was bustling, comfortable, not overly loud, & food came out in a reasonable amount of time. read more

The food was great and delicious i had chicken fries and a side salad, After i had frosted yoghurt. We had to wait for 40min but we did come in on a Saturday so we expected a wait but only about 20min. The location is in a good place near a pizza hut and a starbucks. The inside was great there were plants. Great layout of the restaurant. But the lights were in a half sphere pointed at the tables and that was the only thing you could see so it was quite dark apart from the tables. read more

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! read more

Nando's - Chicken burger, Chicken Pi(t)ta, chips, and a plethora of peri peri sauces! - Fast Food Near Me - Cambridge, CAM

Always an amazing experience when I come to visit the UK!! Chicken is always tasty and fresh!

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 ;) read more

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. read more

This place has bangin' chicken. I am from the DC (USA) area, and was visiting a friend near Cambridge. He took me to Nando's and I was surprised at how different the chicken was compared to the standard Boston Market crap or the neighborhood Peruvian chicken joint. What really makes Nando's, though, is the sauce. Most places have "hot" sauce that is really just Frank's Red Hot, Tabasco, or something equally not hot and bland. Nando's extra hot sauce is fairly hot, and just as delicious. read more

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. read more

Nando's - half chicken, garlic bread, and cole slaw - Fast Food Near Me - Cambridge, CAM

Stopped by for a quick lunch on Saturday to discover that there is no such thing here :) The line was out the door, but a friend said it'd be worth it so we waited about 20 minutes. The food was pretty good and the sweet potato mash was incredible! Same menu as other locations I've been to but somehow better here. Check it out if you love chicken. read more

Nando's - Fast Food Near Me - Cambridge, CAM

24-hour marinated chicken. Varied meal options. God damn so good. Nandos dumps on all US chicken-based chains. It's not outrageously good and it can get a little pricey (relative to US dining, lets say) but man, Nandos had our backs. Eat here. read more

I'm embarrassed that I like this place, but I do. I would love it, if it wasn't such an awful restaurant. What I mean is, Food - yes i like it, I don't want to always know whats in it, and definitely don't want to know where they get their meat from..:( Service - has so much to be desired on this front... :( Ambiance - If children running riot is an ambience, they have it down! So very dirty.... sticky sticky floors, and the sauce bottles could do with a wipe, and you should really consider bringing your own cutlery.. .. Did I just admit to liking this place? - great for a dirty take out. read more

Coming from an area where Nando's doesn't exist, I always try to have it when I get a chance. Great staff and food is fresh. Flavors could be better and the sides could be livened up a bit, but overall always a good experience here. read more

One of my favorite places in England! The food is always really good, but there is never enough ( Ha classic American, right?) My only complaint is I never get full, the portions are quite small. I ordered the chicken pitta and the pitta was 1/3 of the way full, they were even stingy with the lettuce. I understand only getting one piece of chicken but at least fill the pita with lettuce. If your a man and eat a good bit I would go with the whole chicken and order fries as a side because the rice portion is about 1/4 cup. I love how they have all the different sauces. They are all so good. This place is usually pretty full, you have to order at the register. No table service. Food takes anywhere between 30-45 mins for a table of two around dinner time- in my experience anyways. You can order beer, cider, wine at register. They also serve expresso. I know there's a few negatives in the review but the food is so good we keep going back. Def worth a try. I heard lunch service is better; there is quicker service. read more

Located in the centre of Cambridge just opposite Emmanuel College gives it a noticeable location, which makes it popular with tourists, locals and students alike. The place is great,from the service, food, speed and ambience. I usually go for the chicken burger with chips and colesaw on the side. Reasonably priced £5-8 for most meals. (excluding drinks and desserts) read more

OK, I know I am talking about chain restaurant. And, I guess, most of you have been there already. What I loved there - furniture, especially massive wooden tables(well, some of them), Portugese music, lively young staff, and beautiful olives. I love their olives - big, with bits of marinated mushrooms and sliced marinated garlic! I could have a wine and olives all day at Nando's! I did try chicken as well. Nice. And what also impressed me-if it says extreme hot, it is not a lie! not like in some places - a bit of a black pepper makes you think it suppose to be hot. Authentic peri peri sauce makes your eyes cry. Also lovely Mediterranian salad, with feta cheese, greens, cherry tomatoes. Pretty cheap, and there are discounts for certain type of customers. read more

Centrally located, and only 1 minute from the bus station, Nandos is the ideal place to get a post-shopping quick dinner in before catching the bus home. If you haven't been to Nandos before, do not be phased by the fact you order at the till (no waiter come to your table) and that you have to chose how spicy to have your food. Be warned - spicy is very hot! The portions are always large and the staff friendly. It can get very busy at times and so booking is sometime necessary, especially if you are going with a big party. However, during the week you shouldn't have a problem getting a seat. Although they are a chicken restaurant, they do have several vegetarian options, and the salads are huge and packed with feta and olives. It can be pretty noisy, so not somewhere to bring a sensitive Grandparent who has an aversion to noisy children and chattering teens. A great place for a casual birthday dinner, or a catch up with friends. All in all, a very fun and lively restaurant with tasty food. read more

Staff are always friendly and the food is very good. Quite cheap and much better than your average junk food place. Overall great restaurant

I am a huge fan of grilled chicken, and I was very happy to try Nandos. I saw them for the first time in South Africa, but with so many chicken palces there I do not remember whether I tried it before. The place seems to be busy and the location is perfect in the city centre. I ike their salsas and the chicken was pretty tender. However, I have to say it tasted a little bland. Not the best deal since I ended paying over a tenner with a drink, but a decent place to eat. read more

This place is definitely as good as it gets when you're talking about getting spicy helpings. Nando's is actually a Portuguese grilled chicken restaurant that specializes in spicy seasonings. The British aren't really well known for their taste in spices and so this place has definitely come to be a favorite of mine. There is a variety of chicken items on the menu that include quarter chicken, half chicken, or chicken sandwiches (to name a few). When you order your chicken you can pick which spice level you want. They have two different mild spice flavors, medium, hot, or extra hot. They also have bottles of the stuff so you can always help yourself to more. Nando's also has free refill fountain drinks which is rare in the UK. So the price is hard to beat for what you get! read more

I'll start out by saying that I am an American Military member and I loved this place so much. Not only did I love this place but everyone I was stationed with loved it. We would hold our going away parties here and we would never be disappointed. I love tis place so much that I go out of my way when I shop back here in the United States to a store that carries all the Nando's Peri-Peri sauces and I make sure I have them on hand. Hand's down probably one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in the world. read more

I like me some Nandos. Can't go wrong with some chicken and peri peri sauce.

My favorite chain restaurant in Cambridge. Definitely better than any chicken chain in the US. It's all in the sauce! Use very generously! Nando's is reasonably priced, fast, consistent, and relatively healthy. I've gone multiple times and the chicken is always flavorful and juicy. The sauces enhance it even further! I am a condiment whore and I purchased a bottle of each flavor sauce to take back with me to the states. They are delicious! You can never go wrong with chicken and sauce from Nando's. read more

Had dinner here tonight. Real tasty chicken. Their real spicy stuff was just lukewarm for me, but I'll be coming back. Had the butterfly, extra spicy, salad, olives and chips. You get seated, figure out what you want, go to the counter, order & pay. Then they bring your food out to you. Self-serve soda which is rare for Europe. Good place to have a relaxed meal. read more

Probably one of my favourite restaurants, amazing food and amazing service, never fails to disappoint. If you're looking for a place with great chicken, this is the place to go. With a range of sauces and sides there's a thing for everyone to try. read more

It was the first time I've been to the Cambridge Nandos and it was for a mates birthday celebration. The ambiance was great, and it was quite busy with lots of students. Excellent value for money and the food was extremely tasty. My only niggle would be the scaping of chair legs on the wooden floor - but nothing too serious! read more

Delicious food as usual! Relatively fast service. What I love the most is that there is so many sauces we can choose from. My favourite is the small black bottle(cannot remember the name). Was a little bit disappointed when I realised chicken liver is no longer on the menu. read more
