    This place is WHACK. My friends had a table, table 10, somewhat near the registers and clearly visible to the registers. I had a menu and took it up to order with my friend asking for the split chicken breast with rice and peri salted chips. Well they said it would take 30 minutes, so we went with the half chicken instead. We also added a side of hummus with peri peri drizzle, and 3 wings at the spiciest. The dude was really rude the whole time and asked for our table number, I said I didnt know but pointed at it and he told me to go get the table number... Dude works there, he should know what tables are what? But he was a dick the entire time. so a 0 star for service. The rice tasted like pollo loco rice. The fries were nothing special whatsoever, and the chicken tasted like el pollo loco chicken. The spicy chicken wings... tabasco is hotter than what they had. The hummus tasted like off brand grocery store hummus. It really felt like they received all of their supplies from grocery stores and El pollo locos suppliers. Whats even worse is that it cost us $28 for a friggin el pollo loco meal! What a rip off.

    This place has some good chicken with an interesting choice of side sauces. To all my fellow American tourists, think the Lucille's of chicken! Food is good, but definitely has a chain quality of taste to it! We ordered the full platter with 4 small sides and added on a 1/2 chicken--that fed my group of 4 easily. We tried a majority of all their sauces and my favorites were the garlic one and the wild herb sauce. Cole slaw was my favorite of all the sides. All in all, a decent UK eatery but if your looking for something more of a dine in experience, this isn't it. I'll have to try a sandwiche or wrap before I depart the UK!

    It took me about 2 years to realise that Nando's actually serves food other than chicken. They do really like their chicken though; they even managed to get me to try it by slipping some in my wrap! But that mistake aside, I do like their veggie options and it's nice that you can choose a wrap, pita, or burger. They even have some salads. The best thing though, is their super green wrap. The tortilla they use is soft and the perfect texture. And whatever they put in their super greens food is delicious. I've had their sweet potato option but am not crazy about the bbq flavour with it. They have a number of different sides that are quite nice, such as their spicy rice or mint chile peas. It's a solid option for lunch.

    I wanted to see what the hype was about and boy did I ever! I was asked if I have been there before by the waitstaff and when I answered no they set the expectations of what I should do. I felt comfortable and excited to try the food. The cashier talked to me about where I'm from and gave me places to check out on my visit. She also recommended the chicken sandwich with chips. I couldn't even eat it all because it was too much! A good bang for my buck!

    The hype is justified. Nando's is an addiction-in-waiting -- the best meal I have had in the UK, and the only one that woke up my taste buds!! It's a bit odd to have the waitress explain the menu in detail and then invite the customers to order at the counter and sever themselves with cutlery and fountain drinks, but we can dig it of the result is a meal like this one!! My husband and I split the 4 boneless chicken thigh plate with the peri chips and mashed peas. He got an extra side of grilled sweet potatoes. I ordered one Hot and one Extra Hot, because being a Texas gal, I love the heat!! Both thighs were delectable, but I think i prefer the flavor of the Hot over the Extra Hot. Medium is yum too -- tangy but with a kick too. More of a prod, maybe :) Nando's chargrilled chicken is the best thing I have eaten in a while. It was crunchy, smokey, spicy, tender, and juicy. Chicken perfection. Nando's chicken sandwich came on what we call bollilo rolls in Texas -- I'm not sure what the Portugese equivalent is. The bun was slightly sweet with a crunchy crust and chewy body. It perfectly complemented the lemon-herb extra mild chicken breast on the sandwich. The concept of Nando's Portugese food is on its way to the US (thank God), with restaurants in Chicago and DC. Dallas would LOVE Nando's -- HINT HINT

    I always feel a bit weird reviewing chain restaurants, especially ones like Nando's, that everyone and their cat must have already been to. I can definitely say though that me and my colleagues have changed Nando's from a cheeky semi fast food chicken option to a legitimate lunchtime destination. We even got the loyalty cards to see what freebies we can get if we go there enough times. And, to be honest, I am totally ok with it. I really like chicken and a restaurant dedicated to it is pretty cool in my opinion. I always find the chicken is perfectly cooked and I believe any fellow carnivore will appreciate it. The second advantage of it is that fans of spicy food are always satisfied with the hot and extra hot sauce choices, while I am very happy with my lemon & herb and mango & lime options. As a result we can all enjoy the same dish at the heat level we are comfortable with. About this specific Nando's location, the restaurant seems to have a modern/reclaimed materials atmosphere with a lot of wood and metal elements. It does lack some of the exotic foreign country atmosphere that other restaurants in the chain tend to have though, and in my opinion that's a positive, as it makes it fit with the location it's in much better. So if you feel hungry for some chicken, or a lot of it, and you're in the area, don't hesitate to stop by for a quick bite. You can even get their app and order before you get there so you can just arrive, pick it up and eat straight away!

    love me a cheeky nando's

    I came to this location on my first day after moving to London this past September. I had fond memories of Nando's from my past stint living on the Southbank and was (obviously) really eager to get my fix. Luckily, I was not disappointed by my visit to this location. It is huge! and has attractive ambiance and cool birdcage seating--pictured by other reviewers. My chicken was very tasty and exactly what I remembered. I always get extra hot and was excited to try their new chicken thigh meal--which is tasty and far more food than 1/4 chicken for the same price. Nando's is a bit pricy which leaves me with reservations from giving full marks, but as far as Nando's goes this location is great!

    Biggest Nando's I've seen

    Reminder: go to counter to order and self-service for cutlery and condiments Nando's did not disappoint!

    The food was tasty but nothing to get amazed from. They have a big range of free sauces but almost all of them are hot. The prices are good. The best of all is garlic bread, go for it!

    Extra hot 1/4 chicken with mash potatoes and mushy peas.

    I like the ambience of this Nando's. It is located below a train bridge thus the arches inside the restaurant. They have bird cage seatings. I personally do not feel the settings are romantic. The bird csges look pretty quirky. The chicken was decent, it was extra hot as I ordered. Sadly the size of the 1/4 chicken looked more like a bigger version of a drumstick. No comments on the sides mash potatoes and mushy peas. The service was good.

    This Nandos restaurant was one of the worst places I have eaten in London. The service was horrendous, chips were cold, so asked if I could see the manager, who exchanged the chips without quibble. But if you are in London there are better Nando's, but must advise avoid this one all costs!

    Gotta try the humus. If you like Peri Peri then you have to eat here. Good location and great view of the street.

    This place claims to make California burritos -- according to the huge poster on their doors. This…read morewas what got my attention in the first place as I was craving some Mission classics. After popping in and waiting for 7 minutes in the line, I finally got to ask the lady at the counter if they actually make some real California burritos, like you know, with French fries instead of rice. Which was met with the most puzzled stare...anyways, I ended up ordering a classic burrito which was ok, but still feeling like I got tricked into this. Now, does anyone know an authentic Mexican joint whuch do California burritos?

    Tortilla does good burritos...I have to say. And lemme tell you, I'm a spoilt brat, having lived in…read moreSan Francisco, a burrito-mecca, for quite a while! 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. And since the event, I've kind of made Tortilla my default-Mexican food stop when my craving gets too strong. My tip: when you get a steak or pork burrito - ask them to NOT squeeze out the juice. 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.)
