    Thighs lemon herb, fries and broccoli
    Kristina W.

    Tried this for the first time and it did not disappoint! Ordered the four thigh meal with broccoli and fries and a side of corn as well. It was fantastic!

    Delicious Peri Peri grilled chicken and chips!

    I'm from the U.S. and finding good Peri Peri chicken joints is a little rare (the one place near me sadly closed)... so my opinion is biased based on that fact alone. Still, the food here was amazing. AMBIANCE Pretty casual place in the middle of downtown with booths, self serve soda, plates, utensils, etc. I enjoyed the warm color scheme. First they seat you, then you order at the counter. If you're a large group expect to wait especially at lunch hour. They warn you that food takes a bit to prepare because it's all made fresh (25 min), but all good things take time. FOOD Our party of 8 got 2 jumbo platters with mild spiced chicken, PERI-salted chips, regular chips, and spicy rice. The chips (fries as we call them in the U.S.) were probably some of the best chips I had during my visit... especially with the PERI salt. Rice was also good, although not really spicy... very mild with no kick, but still flavorful. The main star here was the chicken - juicy, tender, and flavorful. I LOVED my piece of thing... it's so tasty and perfectly grilled. It had a slight kick, but it was flavorful... musical is the best way to put it. It's not spicy for the sake of being spicy, it just tastes good. Even the white meat wasn't too dry. In addition to the marinade already in the chicken, they have sauces in bottles that you can add to your meal. I kept adding their garlic Peri-Peri on my chicken and chips, which gave it a great flavorful kick. I also tried the chicken livers & Portuguese roll... while the texture bothers me, the flavor is actually quite good! It's a charred/smokey flavor like the regular chicken but it lingers longer. I think it goes better with the spicy rice than the bread they give you. SERVICE Props to the host for trying to find seating for our group of 8 - not an easy feat during lunch hour. He kept us informed and even seated half our group so that we could start ordering, since he anticipated a family being done. However, they tried to squeeze us on one half of a long booth by the time our food arrived. But once a family behind us left and freed up the entire booth... the staff helped us move our plates, food, etc. Seriously, great service! Overall, great place to eat while in the U.K. (they have locations all over)... I'll definitely try to hit up a location next time I'm in London. This one is conveniently within reasonable walking distance to Westminster Abbey, and there's a lovely (free to visit) cathedral across the street as well while you're in the area.

    09/10/17 This is a chain restaurant which originated in South Africa. Their specialty is Portuguese chicken made with various Peri-Peri marinades or sauces. Nando's operates in over 30 countries now. There signature dish is the all natural Peri Peri chicken. Marinated for 24 hours flame grilled to perfection and basted to your liking. They serve chicken in quarters, halves, whole and butterfly breasts. They also serve burgers, wraps, salads, pitas, and wings. A couple of other items that vary. Their sides include spicy rice, coleslaw, garlic bread, chips (fries), creamy mashed, corn on the cob, macho peas and salads. Peri-Peri is a chili found in Mozambique. The are varying heats to the different sauces from mild to super spicy. They also have a variety of desserts. Nando's logo is the Barcelos Cockerel and symbolize faith, justice and good fortune! All of which each restaurant wishes upon their patrons in abundance. The Barcelos Cockerel is one of the most common emblems of Portugal. So now you know what the Barcelos Cockrel looks like. It took awhile to figure out how to order. You walk in, the hostess seats you at a table and places a number on it. We had to watch several others ordering to see what we were supposed to do. Our waiter did not ask us if we had been to Nando's before or if we had any questions. That would be a great thing if they asked is this your first time? That way if it is they can explain it. Then you are suppose to go to the counter and place your order. They will ask what your table number is. You pick up your plates and silverware. When your order is ready they will bring it to your table. Don't forget to get your sauces and the check the heat of your sauces and dressings. My son wanted to come here as he had heard about it in the USA. So we decided to go with a family platter. We got a two different flavors of chicken, garlic bread, mashed potatoes, chips (fries), and coleslaw with drinks.We tried the lemon and herb and medium. This was by far the cheapest meal we had in London. We got a lot of food. The chicken was juicy and tender. The sauces were like nothing I could describe. The chicken was tasty, the chips flavorful, the coleslaw and garlic bread were good. All in all a great bang for you buck or pound (As American's say). We don't have a Nando's in Reno, NV. USA where I am from. I did however, find the sauces in a local grocery store called Raley's. Tonight I made a yummy Kale soup with Garlic Peri-Peri sauce. If you don't have a Nando's see if a local store carries the sauces. If you do have a Nando's and eat there frequently you may want to sign up for their Nando's reward card. You get a rewards chili every time you spend 7 Pounds. You do need to use your rewards chili's within a years time. For more information go https://www.nandosperiperi.com/card/how-it-works There Peri-Peri sauces include Lemon and Herb, Garlic, Medium, Hot and Extra Hot according to Nando's it's like eating a fiery dragon. Don't forget to checkout their website for recipes!! Awesome. All of the employee's at this restaurant were kind and professional. Restaurant was clean and loud as it was crowded at lunch time.

    After a late tour of the Houses of Parliament, I decided to come to this Nando's which is located fairly close to Victoria Station in Cardinal Walk, after struggling to find here I was eventually directed here by a local. This Nando's branch is really small and can get packed easily, and it might take slightly longer to get your food even later on in the evening, one thing I found to be interesting was the fact I ordered my food to table 17 at 7:17pm and it took 17 minutes, and this place is located at number 17 Cardinal Walk, and my birthday is the 17th of the month. I ordered my usual Nando's order, it was priced at the same level as Manchester stores and others I have visited with a Chicken Butterfly and two sides costing £11.30. The store did seem very busy and the amount of tables and size of the store just felt cramped, and with it being in such a central, busy location it really should be busier with the ability to be able to maintain quality when it does get busy, which being in Central London is quite often. My food quality was poor, the rice tasted quite hard, perhaps like it has been frozen, the chicken was barely satisfactory and the same could be said for my chips. They did have the large cool pepper grinder which I liked, however like many branches they didn'r have many of these. The staff didn't seem too friendy which was a shame, and the store was tightly packed into such a small space when it really should be bigger, to the point where if I wasn't as hungry as I was, having not ate since Breakfast, I would have walked out but had no choice. Issues with the staff, overall feel and quality of food simply can't be redeemed by pricing which is matched by Manchester, hence sadly warrants a single one-star rating.

    Delicious food!

    Cheeky! First trip to London and first trip to Nando's. This place was amazing! Fairly easy set up. First you must wait to be seated and then you go up to the counter to order/pay for your meal. Plenty of sauces to choose from. My favorite one was wild herb peri peri sauce. They also have them available for purchase. (Yay) I ordered the butterfly boneless chicken, wings, and three sides. Everything was juicy and flavorful. The sauce is the highlight of this place; don't be shy to mix and match them. This place was so good that we ended up coming back during our week-long trip. We also brought home a box of sauces.

    Wings platter with 4 sides 17.45£

    If someone asks me what was my most favorite place in London, I would say Nando's! Even though this is a chain restaurant and they serve Portuguese food, I love it all! I didn't spend a lot of time in London and of course fish and chips are delicious, but a way to my heart is good chicken wings and of course wine! This restaurant is half self-served. (I figured that out by observing around and seeing what others were doing.) Once you step foot in the restaurant, the hostess will take you to a table and you look over the menu before ordering your food. You then walk up the front counter and place your order. Make sure you know your table number because that is how they know where to deliver your food to your table. You also pick up your own plates and utensils. If you order drinks, you can refill your drinks yourself as much as you want! I ordered the wings platter which comes with 4 small sides or 2 large sides. The price is reasonable and the portion is huge. I like variety so I chose 4 small sides. I got the spicy rice, cole slaw, chips, and salad. I love the grilled flavors and spices on the wings. Make sure you get different sauces to dip your wings in. I like the lemon herb, mild, and hot sauces. It was so delicious and I was totally stuffed. They also serve beer, wine and soda. I got a bottle of wine to share and the wine was a good price and tasted very good.

    Chicken and quinoa salad
    Livi S.

    Love this branch. I was queued for maybe 5 minutes and the food was with me 10 minutes after.. This is what I call service! Food wise.. Nandos is the place for chicken and damn they didn't disappoint. I ordered the quinoa salad because I was off to the gym after work and it was delicious. The sweet potato was in cubes, mushy and melted in my mouth! The salad was super fresh, and I definitely didn't regret my choice. If I had to criticise - must I - the chicken could have been slightly hotter, so it's was piping hot when I got it! Aside from that tho, damn that was one hella of a nice gym prep meal! Yummy!

    Ordered a meal platter, which included a whole grilled chicken, 2 sides(peas and fries), 4 pieces of garlic bread, and 2 drinks for about £20, which feed the 4 of us. The chicken is marinated for 24 hours in periperi (hot) sauce, and that's what makes it good! There was mild to extra hot, lemon herb, and mango lime to choose from. We got the medium and it wasn't "weak sauce", pun intended. Additionally they also had side sauces to dip your chicken and those were flavorful too! Decor is modern rustic and warm. Food is served on light weight rustic ceramic dishware, which added more to its charm. However, the restaurant is loud and busy during lunch hour. I'd highly recommend the chicken!

    Half chicken and rice

    With Nandos, what you see is what you get. In this particular Nandos, I went as a group of five and we were promptly shown to our seats. As I had some points on my Nandos card, I got my half a chicken with spicy rice and the sweet potato wedges. All were very good, the chicken was cooked particularly well and it was the first time I had had the sweet potato wedges and I thought that they were pretty tasty. But at the end of the day its Nandos. You know what you're in for really!

    See all

    Has changed its name to Sherif's Fish Bar. Did visit and bought 3pieces of chicken, that was all I…read morecould afford as they wasn't taking cards at the time and it was all the cash I had on me. The chicken was good. They also do kebabs and fish, so next visit probably fish, now that their card machine is working. Very stylish interior and the people were friendly.

    Very intriguing little business which recently opened near where I live. They have the cutest…read morelittle logo... Been in a few times. Don't normally eat out nowadays as I'm on a strict budget at the mo, but then this joint is specifically there to accommodate for people like me. So I've found myself giving in and treating myself a few times more often than I care to admit... I can't remember the exact name of the dish I always order. I don't think it's on any of the menus I've seen online... it's a lamb kofta in pita ensemble, which is £3.50 (although I usually order it with chips and a drink, bringing the total to £4.50). The lamb kofta arrives like a burger. Which is what you'd expect. While not quite the penultimate kebab experience it's pretty darn tasty. I always order it with chilli and garlic sauce, and am always very impressed... When I opt for the chips in addition (which is almost always) I am treated with a veritable plethora of my favourite potato snack. If Peri-Peri Original did bad fries (which is sometimes the case with budget fast food joints) I wouldn't be trumpeting this fact. But, as it is ; lots of lovely fries for me to NOM! Cheapest place to get kebab-ish take-away in the Stockwell area. Check it out!
