    Located in part of the Brunswick Center, I called at this branch of Nando's with it being one of the closest stores to the Hilton London Euston in which I was staying, before heading to watch my Manchester City defeat Chelsea 4-3 on penalties in the Carabao Cup. This is a slightly small Nando's store which with a glass exterior does look good from the outside, located in a large selection of restaurants in The Brunswick Centre. Nando's is really popular in London with around 9 other branches within a one-mile radius of this store, obviously, this store did have some good points, for example, the manager seemed really welcoming and friendly in helping me to my table and then taking my order with it being an allergy order. I liked how he took the allergy seriously by offering to check the allergy book, but being a regular at Nando's, I already knew what I could and could not eat so he didn't need to check the allergy book, for my food to then be presented with the same allergy sticker as my friend's (who ordered gluten containing items), it then confused me if they had even taken it seriously in the first place because the other order despite being labelled with "allergy order" had a food item containing the allergy. The store had a large number of tables, expected and needed for its location and was slightly narrow but it had basically everything you expected and needed in the Nando's. It is child-friendly, with children running around which I didn't like when trying to have a meal, despite sitting towards the back I still had children running around near my table which wasn't too great but I can't blame the restauraunt for that. When my food was served, the chicken looked to have a slightly darker sauce in the middle and it tasted hotter, I think I was given the hot sauce by mistake, it still tasted good which is why I didn't send it back, but mixing the two sauces which were obviously done without telling me was something I didn't like, they seemed to have run out of medium sauce in the middle of cooking it and seemed to adapt it which I didn't like. They also forgot the peri salt for my chips, I had to ask for extra which the staff had no problem quickly bringing. The overall store atmosphere could be better as well as the speed of ordering and knowledge of staff on allergies, decent food quality and a friendly manager are some of the store highlights but due to issues with the store atmosphere and sauce used, I feel the store deserves just a three-star rating which maybe could have been higher without the sauce incident and with better allergy handling to give me more confidence in eating the meal.

    Great food, abhorrent service... The food really is awesome. The chicken is moist and has a great kick from the spice. The sides are tasty, well seasoned, and you can definitely get those rich African spices from them. The service on the other hand is really terrible. Was promptly seated late at night since there weren't that many patrons in the restaurant. I got up to order and when I came back the front of house had given my seat to a party that just walked in. Dude, you literally just seated me 5 minutes ago. I just moved over, so no big deal but it was just a tell tell sign of the service. As I ate, this guy walked around and around the restaurant so many times. Never once picked up any plates, talked to patrons, or refilled any water. Was like he was training for a track meet or something. The food is quite good, but the service is really terrible. There's a ton of other restaurants in this mall that are much better, so I would skip this place.

    I really like Nandos! It's really has a lot of flavor, and it's been of my favorite restaurants to visit since I've been in London.

Best burger I've ever had? It's up there let me tell you (though that honour remains with Patty & Bun)! What I really liked about Five Guys was the way that burgers could be customised, and how while it looks like fast food (but isn't priced like fast food), each burger is made specifically for the person ordering it. And that burger comprises a truly succulent, tasty patty, an amazing bun, fantastic bacon (should you want bacon) and, grilled onions? Yes please again if you want them. Anyway, it all came together into a burger that honestly, WOW. The list of items you can add to your burger was probably 15 or 16 long, the combinations must be immense! And that was accompanied by fries that I would say are the best fries I've ever had. And the nice touch on the wall where they tell you where the potatoes come from was not lost on me. Five Guys. Amazing!

Quite happily, I'm proud to say it's the former. Bombay Burrito is pretty close to what you imagine an Indian burrito to be. Curry, chutneys, chickpeas, salad, chilli (proper spicy chilli) and delicious spices. Each day they have rotating specials meaning the menu is small, but there should always be something new or in rotation. The staff, were great. Very friendly, and packed our burritos to the brim. We were here with a groupon, but that didn't matter, I challenged that one of our burritos couldn't be folded, and was absolutely impressed when it turned out I was clearly wrong. Additionally, we were allowed to pick any beer from the selection. I was surprised at the range of quite interesting craft beers I hadn't seen anywhere else. The 8% one was a refreshing surprise and turned me red (asian glow) within 5 minutes. Whilst there we also scavenged some poppadum crisps from a table that hadn't finished and were friendly enough to pass them our way (I say pass, but really I meant: we asked and took :D). The staff noticed and were kind enough to offer us some additional chutneys to use as dip. Now that's lovely human service. So in all, Indian burritos all things being fair, should take off in a big way. I'm not sure if Bombay Burrito is the chain to do it, but I really hope they do. The combination of great food, drink is a hit. It just needs the marketing drive and the hipsters to support it to really take off.

I've had my first Tortilla-burrito at Yelp event a while back and chatting with the owner, I found out that he's actually from San Francisco - which probably explains why I like their burritos.

I find that a juicy (well-lubricated) burrito is much tastier. Also, do invest in extra-guacamole, as this will uplift the flavour tremendously. (They are a little stingy on the guacamole though.)
