    Fino pita
    Matthew M.

    Casual dining here and kid friendly. You order with a QR code on your table and pay on the phone and then the food comes later. I got the fino pita with chicken thighs. It was good, just nothing to write home about. I got medium heat and it was very mild (I'm from Texas and like spicy) and I should have went with hot or extra hot. I would come here again for a casual meal by myself, but I would be hesitant to recommend it to a friend in favor of trying any other random restaurant.

    First off, lets normalize qr code ordering in America bec it is so convenient and yes I finally got to try Nando's and let me tell you for a chain restaurant, they know what they're doing. The peri peri chicken is fantastic and the sauces are to die for. I am actually actively looking if I can buy them somewhere and bring them home with me. You scan the qr code andnorder through the website and pay for it too. My husband tried the sunset burger and he said it was not disappointing. Pretty decent tummy filler. Try it.

    Nandos is a great fast casual option if you enjoy rotisserie style chicken with a bit of spice. Even if you don't, their menu runs the gamut of options with a ton of good apps and sides. This location is very busy being right across from the museum and while service was pretty fast, it wasn't great and everyone seemed a bit confused who was working there. All that said, the food was still awesome and worth coming back for time and time again! There is free soda refills but it's a bit confusing on if you can get it or your server does. Toilets are clean but down a long staircase.

    MY RATING: 3.5 My quick experience at Nando's was great. The employees were kind. The food was fast, flavorful, and fresh. My only complaint is for the price, I would have enjoyed a slightly bigger portion. However, if I found myself in the area, I would check out Nando's again. *RAINBOW BOWL - warm spiced grains, long-stem broccoli, hummus, rainbow slaw, pickled golden carrot and a sprinkle of seeds. This bowl was perfect to complete my veggie craving! Everything tasted fresh and paired beautifully together. The hummus was fluffy and a great consistency. I loved the acidity from the pickled carrots. *The GARLIC BREAD was perfection. I'm a carb girl! Besides pasta, my favorite carbs are ones that are toasted with garlic and butter. I savored every melted, crunchy bite. I ordered with a QR code at the table.

    NANDO'S! Ordered the chicken leg non spicy with a side of corn and mashed potato. yuuuuuuum. I mean it is basic food but doesn't mean it isn't good. The chicken was nice and tender with delicious seasonings. You order at the cash and it gets delivered to your seat. I wish we had this chain in Montreal!!!!!

    Nando Nando bo Bando, Banana fano for Fando, Fe fi mo Mando, NANDO's!! Just seems to rhyme doesn't it! Having been to the London locations and now in Scotland, I have to say they are consistent and do not disappoint. What makes this place desirable is the Sauces which is the star of the plate. Poured over every bite of the chargrilled chicken is what keeps me craving and coming back. Staff was friendly, service was attentive, prices reasonable and location was next to the Edinburgh Castle.

    I really don't know how someone can not like Nando's! They call it legendary peri-peri chicken for a reason! Especially love their chicken wings. Service is fast and the food delish. I do wish they had bbq sauce but that's not their thang. This particular location is massive with cute decor.

    As much as I do enjoy Nandos I really cannot justify the cost, it's completely ridiculous. Since its been a year I decided to stop by for lunch. This particular venue is very spacious with heaps of tables. Service is decent. Same principle- get a table, order at the counter then go get your own cutlery and sauces before your meal comes. So my order was the quarter chicken with two sides and my partner had the chicken wrap with a side of fries. When my order came by heart sank, the chicken was not a quarter, it was more like 1/6 of the chicken which was just poor effort on their part. My partners wrap was child sized and we both were underwhelmed by the meal. The two sides were grilled corn and Mediterranean vegetables- I was charged separately for them which I'm completely unimpressed by. I guess I just like the thought of eating at Nandos more than wasting my money on half a meal that couldn't fill a child's stomach. The food itself was good, but since it wasn't more than 3 mouthfuls I don't think I could elaborate anymore.

    This is a popular franchise in the UK area. It's known for its great chicken, and it certainly lives up to its reputation! A friend and I split a whole chicken with 4 sides and we were absolutely porked and satisfied. The chicken was tender and flavorful. You also have an option to add a wide array of sauces, which I'd highly recommend in order to tailor your chicken to your taste. The service at the Edinburgh location is exceptional. I can speak to that much at least. Employees at the cash register were happy to assist with questions as my friend and I were first timers. Also, we got our food relatively quick. My only negative remark would be the price. Expect to drop about 10 quid for a decent meal. Slightly pricey for casual dining, but the food is fantastic.

    First time eating at Nando's! It's not some sophisticated cuisine, but I appreciated my lunch there. The chicken, sides and sauces were good, and the staff was nice.

    This is, all things considered, without pretension but with utter self-confidence, still the best Peri Peri Chicken in the world.

The theme inside was kinda surprising. It had a lot of movie and tv references, the most prominent being Star Wars. We also watched someone try their heat challenge. I'll just say I felt bad for the guy. We asked the waitress afterwards and she said not many pass. Most fail after 2-3 wings. Their normal heat selection goes from 1-8, but their heat challenge goes up to 11. For our food, I tried the Margarita wings, located in their "boozy" section. I really enjoyed these as they had a lot of flavor. I also got a side of mac and cheese, and chose chipuffalo sauce - a combo of chipotle and buffalo - it added a great flavor to the mac and cheese with just the right amoumt of heat. The other wings I tried were the Bit of French, which is garlic pepper flavored. It was actually really bland. I ended up dipping them into the remaining chipuffalo sauce. The restaurant is in a lot of stone, so you get almost no cell service. Just an FYI.

I think it is important for us to include in the review if the establishment is halal as we also have a lot of Muslim Yelpers and friends who would love to know that and we can help them in selecting restaurant. Zuhus has a menu very much like Nando's. Or shall I say 'exactly' like Nando's. It's basically mainly peri peri based chicken, burgers and wraps. I came here twice but only had the peri peri chicken. The guy who served me was very accommodating. I ordered half a chicken but with 2 quarter chicken legs and he gave it to me. The taste of he chicken was up to scratch and the meat itself was juicy and tender. The size of the chicken I believe is slightly bigger than what Nando's is serving, which is of course a value for money. They have won my points on all aspects on value, taste and portion. However, they have lost my point on creativity and originality. This place is an exact replica of Nando's. From the menu, sauce and the bottle for the sauce (tall rectangular bottle). Why can't they come up with something more original? I would still recommend people to come here and definitely be back again myself.

Personally, I would advise caution when venturing away from the chicken, as you are not assured of what you may actually get. Upon ordering a fish supper, I was provided with a thin morsel reminiscent with what I expect to find dished out during school dinners or to be found in the frozen section of Farmfoods. To rub salt into the wound, the chips were very thin and undercooked. Perhaps I am being unfair given the price range. Eshas offers a number of deals, presented on their front window, including at one point a 10 inch margarita pizza for £1.99! (although I believe this deal has since ceased). Overall, this place is perfect for the hungry student venturing back from a booze up seeking something with a high grease content, but if your seeking something with a bit more quality to constitute as an actual meal, it may be best to look elsewhere.

    Esha's is not the best takeaway shop I have expereinced in Edinburgh, thats for sure…read more Esha's is situated in the centre of the busy and bustling Nicolson Street, just a short walk from the University and so it is a handy place for students to pop into to buy their dinner on their home from classes, however, Esha's is not the best takeaway shop on Nicolson street to go into. Esha's menu is incredibly diverse, offering dishes such as pizzas, burgers, curries and baked potatoes. I came to Esha's for dinner several months ago with a friend to buy a pizza and we had the ham and mushroom which was absolutely nothing to rave about. The mushrooms were really soft and appeared to have dissolved into the topping mixture, and the pizza base was quite soggy and burnt in places - not nice. My friend also ordered a portion of chips which were a far cry from the traditional Scottish chips we were expecting - these looked as though they had come from a frozen packet, and not a good one at that. The prices are very reasonable and a 15% student discount is available. You are able to order your meals online at Esha's website and they also offer a home delivery service which is convenient. The staff are friendly, and perhaps some of their other dishes are tastier than the pizza which I had.

It is (not actually) a hut…read more Coming from the deep south in the States, Pizza Hut brings up a strange mixture of feelings: mild embarrassment being the first and indigestion being the last. Upon entering most Pizza Huts you will be greeted with something that resembles a post-war restaurant that was forgotten in a bunker mid-'80s. The food, while edible, is so greasy you could swim in it--this is not a meal you will sit back afterward with a satisfied smile. This is the sort of food that will have you doing a furtive walk of shame out the door after. I've known since entering the UK that American pizza chains are a horse of a different color. But Pizza Hut? Psht, no way even the UK could set PIZZA HUT to rights! Behold my surprise when hubs and I decided to take the plunge and have a quick pizza one night. We were greeted by a whole host of pleasant young lads and lasses, the place was brightly lit and clean as a whistle, and we in no short order had requested our veggie pizza and were reaping the fruits of labor from the salad bar (I forgot how much I love salad bars, yessss). We then got a chance to fiddle with the soda machine, which allows you to mix and match and even add spurts of flavor--another thing I forgot I enjoyed, where they're a dime a dozen back home. But dat pizza tho. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Perfect levels of crispy but soft crust with goat's cheese and vegetable toppings--needless to say we devoured every bite, no questions asked, and left happy customers. Extra bonus: the price! Psht, y'all know pizza hut be cheap as chips. So go forth my fellow Edinburghers. Go forth and eat delicious pizza and do not be ashamed, for it is good.

They do give you a place for the salad table- I say table because it was not big enough to be considered a salad bar... but since Europeans don't believe in ranch, it was a moot point. Pizza itself was good, and these Americans were happy!
