Whilst souvenir shopping during our visit to Cardiff, we stopped by the St. David's Shopping Center. And whilst we were there, we asked an employee for a lunch recommendation. She quickly recommended Nando's. We'd never heard of Nando's, since I don't believe they've made it out to the west coast of the US just yet. But based on the recommendation and the description of spicy/seasoned chicken (YUMM), we checked it out. We were very pleased with Nando's. Nando's gives kind of a semi-formal vibe. Like, upper class fast food. We were seated, and then shown how to order on our phone, right from the table. Then we were given our drink cups for self-serve, and shown the self-serve utility station. You just grab your own preference of sauces, silverware and seasonings (salt/pepper) whenever you're ready. When the food is ready, they bring it to your table. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. When the food came out, we were very pleased. The chicken was tender and juicy, with lots of flavor. I got a plate of chicken, and my wife got a chicken sammich. The spicy rice was also very good. The fries (or "chips" in the UK) were good, with a nice seasoning on them as well. The maca maca cheese was just ok, I thought. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was really good. I'd say the prices were not too bad, especially by today's standards (dang inflation), and again, it's a little elevated over fast food. All in all, we were happy with our Nando's lunch and would recommend it to anyone, especially if you've never tried it. read more
