Half Chicken
Max D.

Great service very nice and welcoming people. The food came out very fast but the fries were a lil cold. Love the atmosphere and music. So happy to be there and a great meal!

Nandos is consistently a stop for me and has been since I had them in 2019 in the UK. I was so excited to find them right around the corner from my hotel. The sauces are so yummy and I recommend you sign up for their app to get a free order of garlic bread. The people working were so friendly and made sure we were taken care of and all our needs were met. The Portuguese rice is always a must. The cauliflower was great too. The ambiance of the place was so nice and artsy. I love it here !! They also have some really yummy juices and teas even a South African tea !!

A Peri Peri chicken bowl is all you need after a few drinks. So flavorful and delicious! Super quick service. Bonus: the bathrooms were clean!

Everything tasted really good. Out of the meal I enjoyed the chicken and the mac n cheese! Caesar salad was alright. Our server was sweet and kept checking in with us!

A great Nando's in harbor east. There's always a lot of employees and it feels like a higher ends restaurant vs a fast casual one. The food here is like any other Nando's. This is what you get when you go to a chain, but I will say what I love about this one location specifically as the fact that they have an array of sauces with containers. Their peri-peri- sauce is what they are known for after all. I remember when America didn't have Nando's so it's always a treat when I go and their half chicken is really good. I miss their coleslaw. The new recipe isn't the same. The halloumi here is also really good, but I would avoid their sandwiches.

Seating

I heart Nando's and this location was excellent! The staff was extremely attentive. The food was worth the wait. And the seating still looks brand new and the whole place was very clean. Parking can be challenging but we scored a metered spot on the street around the corner. I would definitely return for another meal.

1/2 chicken plain-ish

The chicken is FIRE!!! I got a to-go order of 1/2 chicken with 2 sides. I tried to go the healthier route with some of the new upgraded side options they have added to their menu. I got Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes, but I wasn't impressed with either of them for the $2 up charge per side order. They have A LOT of sodium in their products so be mindful to look at nutrition facts if needed. I always get my chicken plain-ish and add the dipping sauces on the side, but they have a variety of flavors to choose from. They have obviously gotten more expensive over the years, but I was able to eat twice on a half chicken, so that helped. This visit, the girl at the register seemed like she didnt want to be at work that day, so she didnt take a name for my order (so I sat there waiting for an order that was never called) and I didn't get my toppings on the side as requested, but everyone else was extremely helpful. The dining area is spacious, so I might stay to dine in next time because I know the food is 10x better when you eat it fresh off the grill.

Whenever I am in Baltimore I try to hit a Nando's. I can't get them in Philly. I love their chicken. I will always love their chicken. The medium gives off the perfect balance of flavor and heat for me. Only drawback... and I get that inflation is real. To get a side with a half chicken is $2.99. Fine with me. I ordered a side of rice. And I swear it was a kids meal size. It was a small box filled about half way. For $2.99 they should fill the little box. I'm just sayin. I did love the staff. The guy who took care of my order hustled and took care of us.

Got take out this time and decided Mac and cheese this time and I feel like at this point Nandos can do no wrong lol ! 10/10

The receipt as proof of my purchase. Affordable and delicious!!!

I was blown away during my visit. The service was polite and professional as soon as I walked in the door. The server as well as the manager checked on my table many times. They made sure we understood the menu as well as how to order. You order at the front counter, which is different from many places but it was easy and gave us time to read the menus. The music was seemingly of African origin and I loved it. I was born in a multicultural city so it reminded me of home. The seating and atmosphere were also welcoming and comfortable. Many delicious sauces were also available for free and they were all delicious. The food itself was incredible. I quite literally cleaned my plate and so did my spouse. The mix of fresh peppers, greens, and humus paired perfectly with the rice and chicken in my Peri-Peri chicken bowl was some of the best food I have EVER eaten. I chose the "Hot" level of flavor for the sauce on my chicken and I loved it so much I had to buy a bottle before I left. The manager was especially welcoming given that it was our first time visiting the restaurant. He often made sure we were enjoying the food and we felt so welcome.

Nando's has some great chicken from my past experiences. This recent visit, I ordered the 1/4 chicken with 2 sides - fries and coleslaw and with the lemon herb sauce. Portion sizes were good. Unfortunately, my sauce was left off but I was able to grab some while I was there for my take out. The chicken was a bit more charred than what I would have liked but was still juicy. Fries were crispy and the coleslaw was just ok to me. The location is big and spacious. Staff are fine. It's a casual dining spot for some good chicken with the highlight on the sauces they have!

Ok, I was kind of skeptical about this place. I got a recommendation from a friend who told me it was a must try, but it was a chain that didn't look that spectacular. I was wrong. It's basically a "chicken restaurant," but like man, their chicken is so good! They grill it to perfection, with this absolutely amazing sauce. You can have something a bit more indulgent, with fries and carbs, or you can go for a lighter fare. Service was really great. Someone popped by to tell us about how it worked, but we were mostly left alone after they dropped off our food. Which was fine for me, I was more than happy to just stuff my face. Bring it out to the West Coast!!!

Is it halal?

They serve pork, beef, shellfish, or seafood in the restaurant. Nandos is full Halal in most countries but is not certified Halal in the US because the chicken is not certified Halal. They also have a lot of vegetarian and vegan items.

Started with a Margarita cocktail which was $16.00 and terrible. Low grade tequila and store bought margarita sour mix. Service was very slow and one of the mangers was drinking and having a long conversation with the bartender. We decided to try the Jollof Rice and Suya bites. The rice was very bland. The Suya had some flavor but seemed to be missing something. I decided to take the leftovers home but unfortunately the Suya bites got very hard overnight so were not enjoyable the next day. Since eating out is pricey you may want to choose a different restaurant to try.

The awning outside needs refurbishment and inside furniture is not updated. It's dark inside, almost like a night club. Perhaps it is sometimes. I did not like the decor, it was a little run down and honestly did not match up to the prices. The service was also disappointing. I felt that staff lacked a bit of professionalism and they rarely checked on us. The plates are huge. That is a plus. My partner ordered the goat and I tried the red snapper. I think one plate is big enough to share. I like the spinach, but everything needed a bit of salt. While the red snapper was coated in a lovely tomato and red pepper gravy, I felt it made the crispyness of the fried fish disappear and it was kind of soggy. Maybe you can ask for the gravy on the side. The food is not bad, but given the physical establishment and the service I wouldn't return.

There are some gorgeous pieces of beaded jewelry, artwork, clothing, and more in this store. This is an authentic African collection store so you can find just about anything that you'd like that will relate to your African roots. Mr. Kwame was really pleasant, friendly, he engaged his customers, and he just innately knew what we liked or what he thought would be pretty on us. Blue is my favorite color and he picked out this wonderful dress and I fell in love with it instantly. It fits well, has pockets, and a belt to match. My daughter came into the store and before she could begin to browse, he took one look at her, pulled the mannequin inside, and removed the dress from it. He gave it to her with a humble, rather gorgeous smile, and said, "This was made just for you." She turned to see that it was the dress from the mannequin and once again the words, "I love it!," were squeaked into the air. She went to the fitting room to try it on and it fit very well. So we bought it! She wore the dress right out of the store. I changed into mine later and pinned my hair up with the beaded hair pin. Mrs. Sandy got the orange and yellow dress with a bracelet. She absolutely loved that too. You cannot go wrong in this store. I really thought that he was not going to have anything to fit me because I have such large bosoms, however he did. It surprised me. I highly recommend this establishment. Tell Mr. Kwame that the "Shawn, Lady in Blue" sent you. LoL! 5 Stars.

The service was impeccable- the waitress and sommelier were both extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Nadia, our waitress, offered suggestions about what dishes would pair well together for the tawle experience and shared her favorites. The sommelier went over the extensive wine list and helped us pick a nice red that paired well with our chosen dishes- it was called Yacoubian Hobbs from Armenia. The ambiance was comfortable and welcoming- you could dress up or down, pretty much anything goes! The walls are lined with colorful patterns and draped tapestries to create a high end living room vibe. Now for the fun part- THE FOOD! The first dishes brought out were the mouneh (pickled veggies), the honey soaked dates, and the three spreads (we selected the hummus with lamb on top for an additional $15, havuc, and beet borani). I'll add that they continuously bring out fresh, warm pita throughout the whole meal. The lamb hummus was savory and well-balanced, but very rich. The havuc had a beautiful lightness from the carrots and I loved the textural element of the crispy onions on top. The beet borani also added a welcomed freshness throughout the meal and was vibrant, light, and had wonderful yogurt flavors. The underrated dish were the pickled veggies because INSANE. I used these in bites during the entire meal and they all had a unique flavor as if they were each pickled in a special way- my favorites were the white radish and scallions. The honey dates were a sweet palette cleanser and cut through the savory elements of the meal. We continued on with the next round consisting of the field lettuce salad, the three condiments (we chose the toum, chermoula, and harissa), halloumi, omani shrimp, and chickpeas. The field lettuce salad had a zesty vinaigrette and I appreciated the acidity addition of the sliced oranges and the crunchy, salted pistachios. The toum was a garlicky aioli that I felt was best paired with the chickpeas- although all the dips were delicious with all the dishes and the pita. The harissa was a lighter version than I am used to, spicy, and paired well with the veggies and ribeye. The chermoula was my favorite and paired best with the ribeye- it reminded me of a flavorful and herbaceous chimichurri. The halloumi had a sweet honey and was grilled perfectly, paired with nice crunchy nuts. The chickpeas had a lovely consistency and were well seasoned- I think it was sumac, but whatever it was, I couldn't get enough. The shrimp were ONE OF MY FAVORITE dishes from the whole meal. They were juicy, seasoned perfectly, charred, and just chefs kiss. I enjoyed them with the chermoula and squeeze of lime. The main dishes and veggies came during our final (besides dessert) round. We ordered the sayadieh as part of the table experience and also added a ribeye to the order. We had ordered the charred carrots, but they accidentally brought us the wildflower honey zucchini instead, so we were lucky enough to be able to try both. The branzino (sayadieh) absolutely blew my mind. It was citrusy, spicy, seasoned with bright spices, and incredibly moist. I would honestly skip the ribeye- it was cooked to a nice medium rare and had a nice flavor, but I don't think it compared to the rest of the meal. The charred carrots were spicy, cooked soft- also one of the standouts. The zucchini was served beautifully and I enjoyed the sauce, but could also skip next time. We ended the meal with the bitter orange sorbet and the chocolate mousse. The sorbet was a nice palette cleanser as it had zest in the mix and was very light after the heavy meal. The chocolate mousse was very rich and had a new balance of chocolate and peanut flavors. They brought over complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate my birthday as well :) I cannot wait to come back to try more of the menu and I am so happy to have had a diverse taste of the Middle East. I'll also add that we had a HUGE bag of leftovers that lasted several meals and they packaged it up like true professionals. A food lover completely satisfied and eager to get back :)

A popular spot near Adams Morgan. The restaurant features Middle Eastern grilled food. In fact,…read morethere were several fire grills in the center of the first floor of the restaurant (it has two floors), and you can see the staff constantly grilling the meats, fish, vegetables and pita. This, together with the dark vibe, made me feel as if I were eating with ppl. from B.C. in a cave. Very interesting. I like that. For food, I got the Carrot Havuc, Omani Shrimp and Halloumi. But first I was served with some freshly made whole wheat pita. They were soft, chewy and earthy. The Carrot Havuc was basically a carrot+garlic puree. Very silky, refreshingly sweet, and a bit sour. The sourness may come from the garlic and lemon. Paired well with the pita and meats. The Omani shrimp came with 5 pieces, each shrimp was ~1oz so it was not very filling. The shrimp were meaty, fresh, juicy, though I wish it could be less salty, even if I already asked for less salt. The shrimp was said to be marinated with dried lime and tamarind but I could only taste the flavor of dried lime. The Halloumi cheese was brushed wild flower honey and topped with Egyptian dukkah, then baked until the outside was golden brown. It was salty and sweet, and the (tons of) sesame seeds added some fragrance to it. However, the peanut was too roughly chopped so that they fell off from the cheese when I slice it, and thus difficult to eat with the cheese. Service was not worth the 20% mandatory tip. For example, when I asked about the sourness of the Carrot Havuc, he did not know why and said he would "taste it and let me know where the sourness came from". Unfortunately, he did not tell me until I asked again when doing the check (I doubt if he tasted it in the first place). Neither did he ask me about the other dishes. Overall, the dishes were great but not impressive, and was mostly heavily flavored. The service could be improved.
