    Chicken in Pita with a side of grilled Halloumi, Peri Mayo, and Hummus. Feast!
    Christel L.

    Excuse the metaphor, but let Cambridge be known as the place that popped my Nandos cherry! I've heard the things they say about Nandos...that their chicken is amazing, that they've taken the UK by storm, that I just need to try it. So, I did. I had my dining companion order for me. We both got the Chicken in Pita, with chips and side of Halloumi. We also got pita and hummus as our starter. Everything came out at about the same time, so though the pita and peri peri hummus tasted good, they were nearly ignored as we both enjoyed our plates. My Chicken Pita sandwich was delicious. Ordered at medium heat, the spicy kick was great. I helped myself to try the other sauces (mild, herb, garlic, etc.) from the sauce bar and all of them had a nice flavor. The chips were the perfect side dish cooked to a lovely crisp. We got a side of Peri Mayo to dip them in--yum. Oh, and the chewy cheesy grilled halloumi, heck yes. This Nandos is located at the Leisure Park around the cinema and other restaurants, so it understandably gets busy. The service was fast, though, and space is clean with lots of seating and wiggle room. For my first experience at this I know they have locations in one region of the United States, but add me to the list of people who would like some of this Peri Peri Chicken craze to come to California!

    I thought it was really good. It gets pretty busy and they ended up giving away our table when we were a few minutes late. But it took about another 5 min. Food was good?l, pretty popular place in Cambridge

    Pour on the Peri Peri sauce. Grilled chicken Portuguese style. If you like spicy food then you should enjoy Nando's

    Nando's is actually one of the best fast food places to eat in the UK. It's kind of a mix between…read morefast 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.

    I came here at noon on a Friday. We definitely beat the lunch rush, but service was still a bit…read moreslow. (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!

    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.
