    Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad fries PERi Ranch
    Alyssa M.

    The staff were very helpful and nice. Service was quick. The size of the chicken on the salad was so disappointing. All the food was pretty good though. Nothing particularly special, but not bad. Wouldn't recommend getting a salad though due to the small amount of chicken.

    Everything was delicious!

    Such a cute place! I'm new to town (almost 6 months) and my colleague was leaving and headed to another job, we celebrated her here tonight after work. They have a solid HH, 4-6pm and the wings were amazing! We also had fries as well and a lavender lemonade that was out of this world yummy! Mike our server was great! Solid service and he kept checking in with us and we appreciate you Mike!

    Lemon herb leg quarters with sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, cauliflower
    Betty U.

    Craved their awesome lemon herb leg quarters- tasty, juicy, tender, fresh & hot even delivered and on time! Tasty sides include sweet potatoes, creamy buttery mashed potatoes but the dirty rice was too small a portion and the cauliflower (which substituted brussel sprouts unknowingly) had a sweet sauce that didn't seem to go with it. Overall still worth it dine in or take out.

    Nando's is one restaurant chain in Chicago that I absolutely can't skip every single time I visit. It's become a must-have experience for me. This time, we went as a group of three and ordered the family platter, which included a whole chicken, two chicken skewers, and what was advertised as three large sides meant to feed 3-4 people. While the food itself was delicious across the board, the "large" sides felt more like medium portions, to be completely honest. We chose the garlic bread, Portuguese rice, and mashed potatoes, and all of them were flavorful and well prepared just smaller than expected. Overall, everything tasted fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. My only real complaint is the portion size of the so-called large sides. Other than that, Nando's once again delivered on flavor and quality. We ordered via the QR code and everything but the drinks came straight to the table. We were given cups to serve ourselves from the soda fountain as expected.

    Stopped in for dinner. The grill chicken caught my eye. It's on the 2nd level and they had an elevator if you can't take stairs. You order two way. One walk at the counter or you can qr scan the code and order and pay through that way. I got the half chicke. With mild peri peri sauce with the side of grilled corn. Chicken was good, order it with no sauce and you can get the sauce and put it on the side. Chicken was good and sauce brought a flavor to it and enjoyed the corn as well. No servers only someone to bring you food to you. Not a bad experience

    1000000000% recommend this place. The food and service were both amazing. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The decor feels cozy and modern. The food was all fresh and consisted of Whole Foods which I loved. I ordered a bowl with chicken , the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. The Brussels sprouts were my favorite. Prices are very reasonable. I would definitely come back if in the area.

    Nandocas' Choice with mango & lime, PERi chips with PERinaise, and garlic bread
    Matthew N.

    Recently tried Nando's for the first time and had a delicious, but slightly confusing, dine-in experience. When we were seated, our server explained the concept and showed us the QR code ordering system, and from there, everything was self-service. What wasn't mentioned was that utensils, drink cups, and sauces are also self-serve, and I only found out after asking another staff member, who pointed to the station. It would've been helpful to know that upfront, especially as first-timers. Service aside, the food absolutely delivered. We ordered the 1/2 chicken (extra hot), the Nandocas' Choice with mango & lime, PERi chips with PERinaise, and garlic bread. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, easily some of the best I've had. The extra hot had more of a flavorful zing than overwhelming heat, while the mango & lime brought a nice balance of sweet and spice. The fries were crispy, the garlic bread was buttery and satisfying, and sampling the sauces was part of the fun (though lemon & herb wasn't my favorite). Overall, the food was outstanding, but the near-total self-service setup felt unclear for a dine-in experience.

    1/4 chicken with Portuguese rice
    Michael B.

    I went out with a group of friends who were big fans of Nando's (they have restaurants in DC and a few other locations). For those who've never been - you order at the table with your phone, and you get your own water and utensils. (They bring out your food and any drinks you order of course.) For my meal, I got the Portuguese rice and 1/4 chicken coated with the famous Nando's sauce (my level was hot, but this can be customized). The chicken was cooked just right - the meat was juicy and flavorful, and the sauce had just enough heat without burning (there was an extra hot, FYI). For the sauce flavor, think lemon, chili, onion, garlic, some vinegar). The rice was not bad (flavor here was a little more subtle; didn't blow me away but went well with the chicken). Our server was nice and checked on us frequently. I liked this place and recommend it if you're in the mood for something different.

    The food here is actually delicious but the service is not. First off they were out of chicken with bones in them. What chicken place runs out of chicken!? Besides that we were still able to order boneless chicken. When we walked in we were seated but were never told we needed to order in the front or using the table qrcode. We ended up waiting and waiting until we asked someone just for them to tell us to order in front. Now for the food this is what I think. Chicken Sandwich - We had this with fries and rice. The chicken was moist and super flavorful. This was good. (4.5/5) Rainbow Bowl - A healthy yet delicious option. The chicken was so flavorful and the items all complimented each other. Would recommend. (4.5/5) The food is delicious but the experience is not. It's actually a nice and chill restaurant though but yeah go for the food not the experience and service.

    Bought a 24‑piece wings for takeout and I'm never doing that again. The wings were ridiculously tiny, they even threw in a literal chicken butt as part of the "24 pieces." One wing looked like someone had already taken a bite out of it, and another was the same size as that chicken butt. I love Nando's, but this was beyond disappointing. Absolutely not going back for wings here.

    Nando's never disappoints! The chicken is consistently delicious and full of flavor. perfectly cooked every time. The staff is friendly, and the service is impressively fast, even during busy hours. The sides are just okay, but the wide variety of sauces definitely makes up for it. I personally love the garlic sauce; it adds the perfect kick to every bite. Overall, a solid spot for a tasty, satisfying meal! Great location and they have seating over look the city streets. Ohhh and the olives are a must!

    We ordered the full platter, which includes a whole chicken and two sides. For the chicken, we chose half hot and half lemon herb--both flavors were excellent. The "hot" had a good level of heat with a noticeable afterkick, so I imagine the next level up, "very hot," might be a bit overwhelming. The Portuguese rice was a pleasant surprise--flavorful and satisfying. The coleslaw, on the other hand, could have used some salt, and we weren't fans of the onions in it. The ambiance is vibrant and upbeat, with colorful decor. There are two waiting areas--one on the ground floor and another upstairs--which seems to be a common setup in many Chicago restaurants. Overall, a great experience!

    1/2 Chicken
    Gretchen T.

    Came here on a Wednesday evening after an architectural boat tour. It's on the second floor. Ordered one haloumi wrap with rice and coleslaw, and 1/2 a chicken with garlic bread and fries. Wanted corn, but they ran out so ordered the bread instead. Everything was really good. The chicken was super flavorful and the wrap was fresh. The garlic bread was probably my favorite side. Came out to like $46 with tip. Would come back to try other chicken flavors and sauces.

    Is there outdoor seating and is it dog-friendly?

    No. Not that I saw when I was there.

    Is this place order at the counter then sit down, or do they have waiters that will seat you?

    They assign and seat you to a table then you order through the counter but the food will be brought straight to your table.

    Going here soon! Any suggestions on must try?

Unfortunately for us, there isn't one within 1/2 hour of us, so going to Nando's is either for special occasions or if we're in the area anyway. It was the latter for this visit. We went at an off-hour so there was only one other table with people there. The manager waited on us - he was really great to work with. We knew what we wanted but he pointed out some other things on the menu and discussed the drink options (there are so many). I had the 1/2 chicken and cole slaw. It was too large for me to eat all of it on this visit, but I think it was smaller than the last time we were there. I think their prices are the same which must mean with the inflation we've experienced recently, they may be cutting portion size rather than raising their prices. I ordered it medium hot, which in the past had been plenty hot for me. I don't think they put a lot of sauce on it - it was a little bland. But they have all of their variety of sauces out and available for you to take back to your table. I tried both the medium and hot (they have extra and extra-extra hot...). I didn't really taste much difference between them. My meal was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home with me.

Nando has several locations in Chicago & the suburbs. They all serve the same high quality delicious chicken. Yeah I guess you can say I'm a huge fan of their food. More than just serving awesome food Nando Peri Peri stepped up big time during the 2020 Covid year and provided FREE meals for hospital workers & the first responders like the firemen & police. This says a lot about this restaurant organization. This is when I first became aware of Nando because my wife works in a hospital I was also told that they bring some select employees to Johannesburg South Africa where Nando Peri Peri originated.

Nando's brings you Southern Africa cuisine. What brings flavors to their dishes is the sauce! Well, it is in the name it has to be. We came in on a Monday night and we were the only ones at the time. But as the night went on, more and more hungry customers came in. You take a seat and you can order up front or place an order at your table with a QR Code and it connects to their site and pay for it. We decided to order at the table via QR code. Pretty easy! The food came out quickly and a server brought it to your table. I ordered the Sweet Potato Halloumi Wrap. The wrap has sweet potatoes, grilled halloumi, arugula, lemon honey yogurt and sweet chili jam. The wrap did not disappoint. It was well balanced with all the ingredients. You can taste the hint of lemon and paired well with the chili sauce. The sweet potatoes were good and had a soft texture. I love arugula so it worked well with the wrap. I shared PERi Chips, PERi Mac and Brussels Sprouts. The Chips are fries and they were crisp and hot. Seasoned perfectly, the Mac is made with cheddar and Colby cheeses and had a nice coating of breadcrumbs on the top. It was creamy and rich. Lastly, the Brussels were dressed in PERi ranch. I didn't like it as I expected a little more roast to the Brussels. The sauces I used for the wrap and dip were the Garlic and the Hot Sauce but there is a ton to choose from. For dessert we got the Naughty Nata which is a Portuguese custard. I really loved this as it had a some cinnamon sugar. Overall, I love the area, the vibe and more importantly the food and conversations!!! Give it a try if you are in the mood for some good food from Southern Africa!
