We got the combo deal which had a half grilled chicken and peri peri chips and a drink for £9.99. The chicken here is far superior to Nando's and it's better value for money.

I absolutely love chicken and it seems like every chicken place in the US is always deep-fried. This is grilled and so tasty. The sauces are delightful and even a person like me can have a fabulous meal cause they have a sweet chili sauce that is insanely good. Mashed potatoes are creamy and just perfect. The colorful slaw is low-calorie and taste delicious especially if you add a little of that sweet chili sauce.

The first time I went to Nando's was a few years ago when I was visiting family in London and my…read morecousin took me. He told me I had to try it before I leave and that I would absolutely love it. I remember liking it, but that was before I got involved in Yelp and before I started to automatically rate and compare food establishments and tastes & flavors in my head. I'm on vacation here in Scotland and when I spotted the Nando's last night, I knew I had to have it again before I left Glasgow. Nando's is known for their peri-peri chicken, which is chicken cooked in a base/marinade/sauce made from piri piri chilis from Africa and other spices & ingredients. I ordered the Fino Pitta, which is a toasted pita filled with boneless grilled chicken at your choice of spiciness level, halloumi cheese, caramelized red onion relish, and garlic aioli. And of course I picked the Extra Hot peri-peri level of spiciness (the hottest spice level available). My pita sandwich was good. The chicken was perfectly tender and the flavoring from the chicken combined with the garlic aioli complimented each other well. P.s. my food was definitely messy though. Not giving 5 stars because service could still use some improvement.

I came here for brunch, and the menu was great - somewhere between traditional scottish cuisine, gourmet greasy spoon and gastropub. The food was top notch, tho mine was a little cold, which for mashed potato isn't that appetising, and the orange juice kind of manky... Still, the taste, presentation and serice time was all above par! The surroundings were quite attention grabbing - plenty of conversation starter nick nacks are on display around the walls, as they also sell antique and retro goods.

My friend and I had been craving bacon rolls all morning since we hadn't made it to Jordanhill's university cafe on time. Woe was us. Then we discovered Cafe Circa which was miraculously still serving bacon rolls in the afternoon. Yippee!! The rolls were those crispy ones which I adore. We finished it off with a big chunk of chocolate cake which was perfectly proportioned. They now have an offer called a "friendship slice" where if you and a friend both order the same cake it costs only a little extra for the additional slice rather than double. The best thing about this quirky little find is the service. The guy that served us couldn't have been more helpful and was one of the smiliest waiters I have ever seen. We felt like we'd been regulars for years getting the VIP treatment. We also got a little card which offered a discount for when we next visited. Have been back several times and even though I have now left this area I would make the trip just for one of those amazing bacon rolls and lovely smiles.

Nando's at the St Enoch Centre is located on the upper floor of the mall, it's located confusingly…read moreclose to another Nando's, which is located right outside of the lower level of the mall, in the square. Now I get Glasgow is a big city, but having two restaurants that close doesn't really make sense when there are other parts of the city too. Anyway back to this particular location - The location is a decent size and despite being located within a mall, they have done a good job of making it look and feel like a Nando's you'd find elsewhere, the vibes were indistinguishable from what I'm used to with Nando's in England, the menu and prices also remain the same, the only difference I noticed is they have IRN-BRU here but that's what you'd expect while in Scotland. They have lots of comfortable seating here too, with quite a few booths, again rare in a mall location but certainly nice to see. I visited later in the evening before they closed, despite that the Nandocas were still friendly, they advised me of a wait for the food which I appreciated but the food took no longer than normal regardless. I do find the prices a little high at Nando's, for the kind of place that it is, and the prices keep going up every couple of months too. I also dislike the fact they no longer offer Mayonnaise, replacing it with a vegan alternative or a paid Peri-naise (Mayonnaise + Peri-Peri Sauce). On this occasion, my meal came to £14.45 before any rewards and my Perinaise, which didn't include a drink as I opted for tap water. I ordered a Medium Spiced Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips, Spicy Rice and Perinaise. The temperature of the chicken and the fries was lukewarm, potentially they had cooked both of them too soon while waiting for the rice, which was piping hot. My food was brought to my table without the peri-salt, but the lady who brought my food over remembered this and brought over the shaker without me having to ask. Despite the temperature, the food was pretty tasty and I enjoyed it, although a small part of the chicken didn't taste right around the edges. I didn't send the food back as I was hungry and tired and wanted to get back to my hotel having had a busy day since arriving in Glasgow on the train from Manchester. 3* - Average Nando's, comfortable for a mall location, staff friendly but room for improvement.

Alas, I'm not going to do all the washing up that would be involved, so am happy to eat out for tapas as often as possible. When the awesome Raquel R suggested a Sunday catch up over tapas, I was in. We hadn't made a booking and got a seat at the booths at the back which was a great spot for a chat without getting disturbed. I ordered: Pollo Croquetas (homemade chicken croquettes) Berenjena (aubergine fritters and Spanish honey) Carne de Ternera (flash fried beef strips with garlic and chilli and red onion) Aubergine/eggplant is always a firm favourite of mine so I was pleased to give this a try. I'm pretty sure I've had it on a previous visit to Tinto actually, and it was really well prepared - a light, crispy batter with tasty eggplant tucked inside. It wasn't soggy or oily and the honey added a nice refreshing sweetness to the fried batter. The beef strips were lovely, and a good amount for the price. Nicely flavoured, perhaps a little more sauce could have been nice but no real complaints. The croquettes were the only thing that I found a little disappointing in that they were a bit bland, and possibly not chicken (maybe fish?). A bit high in the stodge department so I didn't love these like the other dishes. Service was good - friendly, helpful and they didn't seem bothered by our chatting long after we'd finished eating. There was a little awkward moment when we went to place our order and the waitress disappeared for a while but nothing that really affected the experience. The bill came to an incredibly reasonable £22 for two people (3 tapas each) with drinks so there must be some kind of discounted lunch/pre-theatre option which I didn't know about - bonus!

It's confusing and this paranoia almost ruins what is intended as a fun, casual eating experience. Tinto's, however, does its best to provide a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The candlelit tables offer an inviting respite from the rain and misery outside. Walking past, I've noticed that it is always busy which is surely a good sign! The service is warm and helpful and there are a number of offers intended to simplify the slightly confusing menu during the week between 5 and 7pm each person can get 3 tapas for £7.50. Bargain. The portions are small (as expected with tapas) but so tasty and the wine is relatively cheap - perfect combination. Overall, a good (and dare I say it, fun) eating experience.

Tucked away on Bath Street just round the corner from the hustle and bustle of Buchanan Street sits this newly opened family run business. At fist sight, it didn't look all that inviting, perhaps a bit barren and empty even, with just the odd smattering of funky artwork on the wall and some rather plain and sad looking furniture. We arrived at 7pm and it was rather quiet with the stereo playing some Greek pop music. Fortunately after a half hour of so, the atmosphere picked up as the restaurant got busier. The menu looked good, with a range of hearty looking Greek grub, but I didn't really know what I wanted, it just had to contained grilled meat. So, I just asked for the traditional Greek Meze, which is a set meal and very popular in Greece. Surprisingly they didn't offer it, but the owner said it wouldn't be a problem to whip up his favourite dishes and do us a Meze style banquet for us. We polity accepted and waited for the food to arrive. We were treated to some really fantastic dishes. To kick things off; Saganaki Prawns, made with feta cheese and a deliciously rich and tasty tomato sauce. I think we polished off a couple of baskets of bread mopping up the splendid sauce. Furthermore, a wonderfully seasoned and fresh Greek salad and some grilled cheese with tomato and peppers. The main dished comprised of Gyros, which is a pork style kebab, delicious, and skewered, charcoal grilled lamb and chicken with the house's fresh, hand-cooked chips, yum! It fair to say, after all that meat, I spiralled into a deep meat-coma and was unresponsive to any form of chat or questions, hence agreeing to a desert when asked by the waitress. I went for the wonderful and rich Greek yoghurt with honey and walnuts to really finish me off. Fortunately our lovely meal meal wasn't ruined by Greek dancing nor the sound of smashing plates. This was an initial concern of mine as the restaurant is certainly big to accommodate this. Credit should also go to the father / daughter combo who work tirelessly in the kitchen and in attending to the customers needs quickly and with a smile. Oh, one more thing.........if your ever in town and fancy a tasty snack they do a wrapped Gyros to go for just £3.95, total bargain!
