Love Nando's. I keep coming back for that wild herb sauce, it's ridiculously addictive. Tangy, herby, just the right kick. Great ambiance as well Tried the plant-based Imitator recently and... wow. Didn't expect a meatless option to bring that much flavour and texture, but it delivers. Crispy on the outside and amazing with that signature peri-peri magic. Vibes are always solid, service is fast, and the food hits every single time. read more

First time visitor to Nando's. Chicken wings for us. Everything was good. Good value.

Bathroom was so smelly, it was like walking into a cloud of urine smell. Food was mediocre to ok. Not sure why the great reviews. Chicken was a little tough, fries (chips) ok and the only good thing was the broccoli. Service was nice. read more

Reliable, well seasoned chicken meal. We routinely get own portion and share it and that's a pretty good option if you're not terribly hungry. Try the multiple hot sauces - spicy and delicious. read more

The food here was awful! We've been to many other Nando's restaurants so we're highly disappointed. The chicken was SO dry we got through so many glasses of water just trying to swallow the dry food. The service was fine. The staff seemed like they were just trying to get to the end of their shifts. The ambiance was awful. The tables are stuffed in there. We felt like we were sat with the table next to us we were so close. read more

What a crazy day to go to Nandos. We visited on the day of the Queens passing so the place was very busy with everyone in Leicester Square. Though, the service was terrible. Once we ordered, our food took awhile to arrive, which is fine, but they forgot half of our order. We waited, assuming it was coming but after thirty minutes we had to go ask the server to put the order to the kitchen. The food itself was fine but if we never would've said anything we never would've gotten the food we paid for which is annoying. read more

We went to Nando's while on vacation because my nephew had never been and really wanted to go (there is no location where we live). Upon arrival, it seemed like it had a good vibe. After a short wait, we were seated. The waiter explained the ordering and that he would bring the glasses for our drinks after we ordered. Ok, cool. He comes back with glasses for everyone except me and my mother. Now it was a warm day and we had been walking so we were thirsty. After 5 minutes, I walked up to an employee and explained the situation. I was told to sit down, and someone would get the glasses. They were not very busy, and I watched employees just standing around chatting. So I go up again and get rejected again. Our food comes, and I tell the waiter we never received our drinks, and that I asked multiple times and was told to sit down. He goes and tells the "doing nothing" group and one of them comes over with glasses exasperated. The food was mediocre at best. My tip, find a different restaurant read more

When is Nandos coming to NYC? I loved their food. I had the sunset burger (no pic) which came out to almost £10 on its own. Considering the fact that the burger was so small, it was pretty pricey. The half chicken with 2 sides is abt €11. Quarter chicken with 2 sides is abt £8. The chicken was delicious & so were the sauces. My favorite peri peri sauce is the lemon & herb, followed by the garlic. I regret not going more than once. Next time, i'm definitely not getting a burger since it's only half the size that i'm used to & double the money. read more

The first time I visited London we went to eat at Nando's restaurant. We enjoyed it greatly. I forgot the branch of Nando's that we went to. The next time we visited London, I made sure we went to Nando's again. This time the one closest to us had a more fast food vibe. Both times the place was packed. I love their chicken. I try to go to Nando's every time I'm in London. I heard they have branches in other states. I hope they open branches in SoCal. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but I was dying of hunger so I decided to come in. After I few minutes (2 or 3) , a friendly waiter introduced me , recommended me a few items and finally ordered. After a little bit of waiting (6 minutes ) , I was given my food. I had myself a beef burger with fries. Crispy , buttered bun. Grilled , smoked beef. Thin , juicy lettuce and tomatoes. Fresh , fried and crispy fries. Sweet dipping sauce and ketchup and mayo. Staff makes y out fell right at home, delicous food and good display. Smashing! read more

If you're into grilled chicken, Nando's is a must. These are the masters of peri-peri chicken. I always for the half chicken with two sides, and this gives a lot of choices by the way. In terms of flavor, you could tailor the spiciness of the chicken to your preferences, and there is a plenty of side dishes to choose from. I have always tried Nando's across other parts of the world, and the London branches are superb. read more

Love Nando's! I first tried Nando's in DC. So when I was in London, I knew I had to try Nando's again. We ordered the grilled halloumi as an appetizer and the Peri-Peri Chicken, with a side of spicy rice and fries. The chicken was just as good as the one I had in DC - it was grilled perfectly and not overcooked. It was also spiced well, even without the sauce. Rice and fries were the perfect sides for the chicken. They also have a variety of sauces you can choose, from lemon and herb, classic garlic, to ghost pepper. I won't hesitate to visit Nando's again! read more

Everyone always recommends going to Nando's! We had the best wings and even got the wing roulette. Luckily the wings were as spicy as everyone thought they were going to be. Fun experience! read more

I've had Nando's before in Washington D.C., USA. And this location was just as good!! Had the extra hot chicken and peri salted chips. Super good! The food and service were so great that we came back two nights in a row. Would definitely recommend. Several locations in the London area. read more

Nando's - Extra Hot Whole Chicken with a side of Peri Salted Chips (Fries) - Chicken Shop Near Me - London, XGL

They know how to cook chicken WELL! It looks like a simple grilled chicken, but it has so much flavor! And the chicken is perfectly juicy and tender. 1/2 chicken is big enough for one gentleman to finish, and the whole chicken dish is good enough for 3 ladies to share together. Make sure you get their dirty rice and coleslaw as sides. It's delicious and it goes so well with the chicken. Be sure to grab your favorite sauces from the sauce rack! It will add so much more flavor to your chicken. But be aware- it can be very spicy! Know your spicy limits before you put them in your mouth! They also have an unlimited yogurt bar for about 2 euros. It's a great way to refresh your mouth before your next food adventure! This restaurant is a chain, so find one near you! read more

Seriously the best chicken I have ever eaten in my life. This place is always crowded and there is usually a small wait, but it is well worth it. There are so many locations all over London and you will not be disappointed. There are varying levels of peri peri with an assortment of sauces that will fit anyone liking and tolerance for spice. Not only do they have roasted chicken, they offer salads, and a variety of side dishes. You get a lot for the price and it's well worth it! A must if you stop by London! read more

You get a lot of cluck for a few bucks!! The variety of sauces make up the best part of these birds. They added a skinless boneless chicken plate a la carte but I added the coleslaw and it was a perfect meal. I wasn't feeling like local food so this was perfect. Location of this restaurant is in a busy area of town so getting a table right away may take some time but worth the wait. Prices are reasonable, self serve beverage station and park like benches gives the sense of an upscale fast food establishment. read more

Service was kind of iffy. Didn't expect much considering it was a chain but the food lives up to the hype. My favorite were the whole chicken, chicken wings, corn and the red rice that came with it. It was just really well cooked chicken and the spices used matched really well with it. Don't forget to drizzle the wide array of sauces they provide at the counters. yummmmmm read more

Nando's is a nice, small spot in the corner of a street. It goes downstairs once you are seated. There are 2 rooms with 15 (more or less) tables in each, so it gets busy a lot. I don't know if it's worth the wait. What I ordered with my family were 2 jumbo platters of mango chicken and lemon and herb. The menu has levels of spicy and you can choose what level. We also got some sides; a salad and mashed potatoes. My mother thought the chicken was delicious and juicy, whereas I thought it was dry and tasteless. The menu is a bit pricy at 20-50 pounds per platter. Other than that, give it a try if you're around the area! read more

I love Nando's! I've only ever had it on the East Coast and its never failed me. This spot in London is no exception, it is just as awesome! £30 on a dinner for two is not bad either. I love the wide selection of different sauces and I appreciate the flavors of everything (garlic bread, chicken breast, rice) I want more Nando's!! read more

My niece and fiancé were raving about this place on their last trip to London. So, when we all went back a few weeks ago, we ate as many times as possible at Nando's. We have to note the cultural differences in flavors in the US vs the UK. In general, the flavors of dishes, and even soda, are more subtle in the UK. But not Nando's. Their chicken can compete with the best of them here in the US. So, whatchu gonna eat tonight?! read more

I hear it's tasty here so I gave it a try. Plenty of hot sauces to try. This is Portuguese fast food but it doesn't taste like it! It's fresh and delicious! read more

After my girlfriend told me about her Nando's experience during her last stay in the UK, my expectations were high. They were surpassed! First we had to wait for 10-15 minutes to get a table, but considering that it was a Saturday evening in Soho, it was okay and definitely worth it. What I especially like about Nando's is the whole system of ordering and getting your stuff. Instead of stressing out all of the waiters and waitresses, you have to order on your own and get your cutlery and sauces yourself. Also, there are bottomless softdrinks! The chicken and the side dishes were sautéed fantastically and very tasty! I can recommend the wraps, the chicken breast and, as side dishes, garlic bread, mashed potatoes and chips. My first Nando's experience resulted in two more stays in three days. Can someone please extend this concept one to one to Germany? read more

Love at first bite! When in England you got to eat at one of these you see them everywhere...Nandos! Had the peri peri chicken which was great! I'd recommend the lemon herb sauce it was great. The peri peri chips were great like Cajun fries. The corn was ok but would have been better with peri peri seasoning. They got unlimited soft drinks too! Didn't have enough room but someone needs to take advantage of unlimited fro yo for 3 pounds! wish there was one of these in us! read more

If I recall correctly for my dinner, I ordered a small house salad with the peri-peri chicken, and sliced avocado added. On the side, I ordered a watermelon and feta salad too as an appetizer, confusingly when the salad arrived there was no watermelon. The service was lack-luster, and they were definitely disorderly in the front of house. I had never been to Nando's before this experience, I can't say this location left me much to desire or to go back for. Luckily, the food isn't expensive here but I guess you get what you pay for, oddly Nando's has a ton of reviews and fans ... maybe I didn't order an authentic Nando's dish, but took a shortcut with the salad? Other notes, the soda machine and area needed to be wiped down and tidied up, as did the sauce station. read more

What is it about Nandos?! I swore to myself I'd never become like every other Brit in regards to their disposition towards this Portuguese gem of a fast-casual eatery. Unfortunately, my premature oath was overwritten by my innate desire to chew on Medium peri peri 1/4 chickens alongside oversized fries (excuse me 'chips') simultaneously dipped in an array of otherwise boring sauces (ketchup, mayo, hot sauce). Service - it's Nandos. Great for what you're paying... Mas o menos. Food - everything is delish. I love to order my chickens with the Nata sweet tarts and Halloumi cheese! Ambience - my fav Nandos is still the one in Southwark due to the hammocks but this one was okay too, esp for Central London/Mayfair area. Location - convenient to everything central. There's several to choose from in the area though. Experience - overall 3-4 stars, a modest 4 or I'd give 3 with a positive review and a smile :). Enjoy xx read more

The better Boston Market of London. I won't lie. It's that cheap but delicious chicken roasted with plenty of sides to choose from and if you were walking down the street looking for Trafalgar Square or some monument, you'd smell the aroma and get drawn to it too. And the great thing about food in Europe is that it doesn't feel as greasy as it does here in the states. The chicken was awesome. With a regular full platter chicken and a full meal of wings with sides like mash potatoes, peri peri fries, it was enough to fill our U.S. deprived souls up. And after you order, you can load up on all the sauces for the chicken and fries. Prices were very reasonable and came out to be about 11 pounds per person. And although it has remnants of Boston Market, its definitely classier and more delicious than. Now, come on over to the states! read more

Nando's - They seem to be everywhere. Go to a big town, a shopping centre, they are there. This branch in particular is in Piccadilly, in London and is in a very busy area for restaurants, and it must have to have good standards to survive, and not just carry the Nando's name, but in my opinion this store survives just because of its' Nando's name, if you put any other independant name on this restaurant, I'm sure it wouldn't! The store is set over 2 floors, with more of a bar or a waiting area at the top, with the main part being located at the bottom, the lift was a standard wheelchair disabled lift and was a nightmare, it made funny noises and was very slow, and it made me feel like I needed a pillow, as it would be stuck and I'd be stuck in Nando's for the night. The staff here was a nightmare, I was originally talked to by 2 senior members of staff, but then they left..... It was down to simply, a bunch of trainees to sort out, with no one putting a word in to explain about gluten free, hence ordering was really a struggle. The trainees struggled to understood me, and actually spoke very poor english, and one of them even had to put me on the till with another trainee, simply because they didn't understand gluten free, normally they put a note on the till to do it separate and avoid cross-contamination, however they struggled to understand that here, and I just had to eventually, after fighting with them, trying to explain basic wording, which anyone in the food industry should know under EU law, I had to settle for their word. I ordered Chicken butterfly with 2 portions of chips, and the server also questioned my order, I simply found her to be very rude and she didn't like my order and had to keep confirming everything, in a kind of way which shown some rather nasty attitude, like a teenager who was dragged in below minimum wage for work experience. The service was very fast, and by the time I spoke to my server again, after checking my receipt and it not stating " gluten free " as they told me, my food has come, I had to get the staff to assure me it was fine. The quality was actually quite poor, I do admit it was edible, but it was just simply okay, the chicken didn't taste as good as other branches such as London Euston, and it simply tasted like it wasn't Nando's quality, and the mango and lime flavouring was also non-existent and not too great either. The chips were pretty standard for Nando's and basically average, but I have had much better at other branches. The service here to add to that note is also a little cheeky, I did tell them I was coming down and they would have saw me using the lift, but then they was only around 1-2 tables left and I was lucky to even get a seat, as they nearly forced me back up to floor one. The store isn't very nice, and it was a little crowded too, I was also quite upset to listen to a sobbing, suicidal teenager, I admit she is upset and her parents were trying to help, but the staff were just batting a blind eye, and it really wasn't nice to listen to what she was saying, while I was trying to enjoy my meal. My meal wasn't a pleasant experience because of my "neighbours" and the surrounding noise as well, this branch isn't a very nice branch as well and is basically very unusual, considering you do have to go downstairs, and it is a reasonable sized store anyway. I did feel deserted by the staff that left me under the influence of trainees who really didn't know what they were doing, and the quality wasn't even worth putting up with all this. I do feel this Nando's store warrants 1 stars, as it just is very poor and not up to Nando's standards as a whole, with the service, the food and the store as a whole being the main reasons for the low rating. read more

What a mess. We waited for 15 mins only to be led down to a mostly empty dining room. We assumed it was due to covid measures but then they sat us directly next to another group! Online ordering was a joke & at the end you are required to create an account to place your order! With spotty wi-fi that in itself was a challenge. If we lived here I would never come back. read more

I forgot "chips" are fries!!! So with my 1/4 chicken I got the garlic bread and the corn on the cob. The refillable drink is nice, you need plenty of refill if you can't handle spicy like I do... The chicken was dry on some parts so I don't really see the need to go back. Didn't really make an impression on me, but my friend is obsessed with this place. read more

I've never been a big fan of Nando's, and have only been once or twice, usually to just have a simple roast chicken with no problems. Tonight, however, was a different story. I went up to order and was feeling a bit nauseous, so I figured I'd just get a caesar salad with grilled chicken. They were out of caesar salad? Okay, sure, I'll have the mixed leaf salad instead - with grilled chicken. But I can't have spicy food at the moment, so is it possible to just get it PLAIN with no spice? The cashier said sure, so plain chicken it was. A few minutes later (gotta love the speedy service!) the chicken came out, marked plain. I took a bite, it was spicy, and my stomach turned a bit. Shame, because I'm sure I otherwise would have liked it. My friend said something to the cashier, who came over and told me that all the chicken is marinated before cooking and the spice is unavoidable. Look, if that's the way you run your restaurant - with solely spicy food - that's fine. But at least tell me that when I say I can't have spicy food, that I'll need to order something else. Eventually the manager came over, because another waiter came over to ask why I wasn't eating, and the manager said I had two options: 1) He could bring me some sauce to hide the spiciness, or 2) He could give me a refund I opted for the refund, since at that point my friend was done with his meal and I just wanted to get out of there. He gave me a refund, alright: I paid about 6.70 for my salad - but because the mixed salad on its own is about 4.15 and the "step up fee" to include chicken is 2.55, he only gave me back 2.55. I realise 4.15 isn't something to freak out over, but the fact that the staff made me feel a little dumb for not knowing that spiciness is unavoidable in their restaurant combined with them only refunding me part of a place and making me feel a bit like a cheapskate for them doing so? I'm pretty done with Nando's. Or, at the very least, I'm done with this branch. read more

Love love! I look forward to eating here every time I'm in a city that has one. Good food that always hits the spot. Lots of options and customizable flavor profiles. Order at the counter when you're ready, but otherwise feels like a full service restaurant. Bonus - gotta love the sink next to the drink station to wash your hands without taking a trip to the bathroom. read more

I am a chicken man. Bring me to a place that specializes in chicken and seriously, I can't talk smack. I thought this place was fantastic. It was a little confusing to figure out how this place actually works... ordering/service was a little confusing but once you're on your way, the food takes care of the rest. Off the bat, if you're a guy (an American one at that), go ahead and order the half chicken - or maybe even the full. Portions are smaller this side of the Atlantic and I inhaled my half chicken with two sides (corn on the cob and rice) instantly. In fact, I ordered 5 additional chicken wings afterwards to fill that last little bit of empty void in the belly. Secondly, order the mildly spicy version of the chicken. The non-spicy versions are boring and the mild has a good kick that doesn't knock you off your feet. The spiced nuts are a good start. Overall, enjoyed the meal and plotting at forging my own chicken diner empire States-side. read more

I'm not really a huge fan of chicken, but I actually enjoy eating at this place! I came here with my family, and I thought their chicken was quite good. The chicken can be dry, in my opinion only if you don't eat it with sauce. I especially love how you can customize how spicy you want your chicken to be. We were told that the wait was gonna be an hour and a half but we ended up actually waiting less than that. If you love chicken, I recommend this place! read more

I really like the Nando's on Baker Street, so I was excited when I realized there was one near my office that I hadn't known about. Unfortunately, at least this time, this one wasn't up to par with Baker Street. Not by a long shot. First, I arrived for my takeout and there was cheese on my chicken burger, which I definitely hadn't requested. But there had been some accent issues on both ends of the phone line, so I let it go (and along with it, my intention of getting a healthier dinner...ah well.) The chicken itself was much drier than I'm used to at my other location, and the bun didn't seem nearly as soft. The biggest difference, though, was the sweet potato mash: it needed salt and some hot sauce mixed in to give it any flavor whatsoever, while it usually stands alone. Disappointing. I'd be willing to try again in hopes that it was just a bad night, but this dinner was a letdown. One positive over Baker Street: this Nando's was more atmospheric somehow, in case you were eating in. read more

So delicious....I'm back in he states now but I'm still dreaming of this food. The chicken burger is so delicious! The chip both plain and peri-salted? Amazing. The grilled corn on the cob? Perfect. The spicy rice? Yummy. I could make a meal of the sides alone lol. I wish I was there longer so I could try everything. So idk if this is how all Nandos are but you get a table and sit down and then when you're ready you go up to the counter to order your food; then when you're food is ready they deliver it to your table. Then they have sauces and utensils against the wall by the soda machine that you can use and put back. Similar to Chipotle. I just wish that there was a Nandos near to me. read more

Nando's - Grilled Chicken Burger-Medium Heat with a side of Corn on the Cob and Chips; and some Savanna Cider - Chicken Shop Near Me - London, XGL

I'm going to be an annoying tourist for a hot second but... I LOVE NANDO'S!!!! The peri peri has a little somethin somethin that I just can't explain and that keeps me coming back for more everytime I'm in the UK. (I will note that there are locations in the States. However, none are too close to me, but I'd also make the argument that they're not as good, so alas, I'll have to wait for my next trip to London to get more of this goodness.) All of the food is good, but I've visited enough to where I have a "usual" order. I love the 1/4 chicken with medium peri peri sauce. It comes with a side, but depending on how hungry I am, I typically order more than one. I've had everything from the peri chips to the corn on the cob to the coleslaw and everything has been fabulous. As others have said, the service is great for what you pay for. I personally like the concept of ordering first, then serving yourself as far as drinks and silverware go, and then going back to your preassigned table. This Nando's is in a good location and is one I would definitely return to the next time I'm in London. Whatever Nando's is doing as far as food and atmosphere, they're doing it right. read more
