    Chicken Breast Sandwich
    Nick N.

    One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had lately. Take a look at the picture and tell me that doesn't look incredible. The Mac and cheese was also great, but the chicken sandwich with the nando's sauce was phenomenal. I would love to come back and try more of the menu.

    Decent, tasty food and a nice atmosphere! It's a convenient spot for a quick lunch. However, one odd thing about this place is the seating process - you have to wait for someone to seat you. While you order from the menu yourself and grab your own drink, the staff only brings the food to your table. It left me wondering, are we supposed to tip for that? Additionally, I noticed they recently increased their prices by $2 per dish, which I found a bit frustrating. Overall, it's a decent option, and with other places nearby, I'll likely come back and give it another try.

    Was late getting into town so wanted something fairly quick. They had lots of options. Landed on the chicken (surprise) and rice. It was quite good and came out quickly. Great flavor and yes - moist. Service was pleasant. Ordered from my table. Drink was delivered promptly followed shortly by food. It was late so restaurant was quiet. But it was clean and enjoyed the food!

    So glad I got to spend some quality time today with my baby girl, Mackenzie. We decided to stop at Nando's--and let me tell you, we ate GOOD! I tried their new sandwich, the CLT (not a typo y'all, it's chicken, lettuce, and tomato), and it was chef's kiss. Flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. If you haven't had it yet--go get it. You won't be disappointed!

    The food is so tasty. The delivery was a little unappealing but I'll take it for how good their chicken is. Recommend going there vs ordering on Uber eats. The size of the portions is small for the price but the quality of the food is very good and ALMOST makes up for it. You come here for the chicken because that's what they do best and everything is okay. CAVA overall has better bowls but the chicken here is unmatched

    Full Chicken Platter
    Linda Y.

    I've always walked by this place and was curious about the food. We received a coupon for a free full platter during a game at Randolph Fest so we decided to stop by for a weeknight dinner. Upon arrival, I was pretty amazed with the space! You can order to go or sit and dine-in. We were greeted by a staff member a minute after arriving - they walked us through the process since it was our first time in. We were able to choose a table and I believe you can order via QR code at your table but we ordered up front after reviewing the menu. There is also an outdoor space in the back of the restaurant! Food came out quick and they supplied us with plates. With the full platter, you get a whole chicken and 2 sides which we did the brussels sprouts and the portuguese rice. For our chicken, we did half medium and half mango & lime. I couldn't really taste the sauce on the chicken, but they had extra sauces available at the condiment booth. If your spice tolerance is high, the xtra hot sauce won't amaze you as it is pretty mild. The variety of sauces were great but nothing stood out to me. The portuguese rice was seasoned well but not my cup of tea and the brussels sprouts were subpar. The chicken was super moist and juicy but other than that, it was just ok to me!

    First time trying Nandos after walking past it so many times the last few months. The regret of not trying it sooner sunk in after my first bite. I got the chicken breast bowl with the lemon herb. The bowl comes with a hefty serving of rice. Peppers. Arugula and hummus. Sauces: you can take as many to go containers as you want or grab the bottles and take them to the table. I added more lemon herb to mine and also dabbled with medium sauces: garlic and a spicy herb. All of the sauces are A+ The staff here are the nicest most helpful people ever. 6 different employees said hello and checked in to see if we needed anything in the few mins I was there waiting for my order. Everyone was smiling and super cherry. Seems like a great place to work! I'll be back to try more. The sandwiches look excellent.

    Spicy chicken wrap.... very tasty with the wonderful bell peppers. That sauce tho? Oh my....

    Consistently good food with great ambience. L service is lacking in some situations. The food ordering process is confusing a lil and slow when you order from your table. Other than that, I love this spot....good eats. I ordered the spicy wrap with fries and peri dip.. that's ridiculously good. My friend ordered the chicken breast sandwich.

    Chicken thighs
    Sam K.

    Being from TX where we currently don't have a Nando's as of 2023, I was excited to try the "real deal". I decided to stick with the classics... peri peri chicken thighs. I will say I was slightly underwhelmed by the flavor of the chicken. I have tried a few Nandos copycats (Peri Peri Factory and Port of Peri Peri) and both had much tastier and juicier chicken. Even the rice that came with the meal as a side wasn't very impressive. I was slightly disappointed since I thought Nando's would be the holy grail of these chicken places (and was a bit more pricey too!) I was intrigued by some of the other menu options, and would be willing to venture outside of the norm to try the next time I'm in town. Service took quite some time on a Friday, but the seats very comfortable and overall decor and ambiance of the restaurant on point. Flavor: 3.5/5 Price: 3/5 Value: 3.5/5

    PERi Chicken Rainbow Bowl
    Ed D.

    Came here for dinner at 10 pm. Most of the restaurant already had seats up and the sign said wait here to be seated but actually you need to order at the cashier and then take a seat. We were just standing there for a few minutes with the cashiers just looking at us without saying anything. They could've told us to order there? The decor is nice with some light music playing in the background. Anyways we ordered the half chicken peri peri, sweet and spicy chicken wrap, rainbow chicken avocado bowl. They have some very good sauces with varying heat. I really like their food. Everything was so tasty especially their juicy half chicken. I also liked the rainbow chicken bowl. Prices were good. My daughter lives in the area now so I'll definitely be back

    I celebrated National Sibling Day today with my brother. We were uncertain at first because I was looking for a breakfast spot. Nevertheless, the food was amazing. I had the chicken shabob skewers with Portguese rice with Mac and Cheese. The chicken had a flamed broil grilled taste and was made to perfection . The Mac and Cheese had some kind of crumbles on it that were delicious. I only wish the food servings were a little more and that they sold more alcohol. (There are only two alcohol beverages). The overall atmosphere is great for a casual lunch date. I thought the interior was decorated nice and especially loved the Afrobeats music playing on the overhead. I even saw an upcoming actor "Barcardi" from the hit series "The Chi". Overall, I had a great time and would visit again.

    Stopped by this location on a rainy day, the interior is modern, cozy and lights are dimmed low. We tried the chicken skewers and a few different sides and the chicken was tender, and rice was flavorful! The chef checked on us once food was out.

    What is the wait time for a table (small group) around lunch time on a week day?

    Hey Maeve! Generally, there isn't a wait for a table. We don't take reservations, but we do our best to accommodate groups. I hope this helps!

    Honnneeey I am home…read more When I booked our Bookish Girls trip to Chicago I was casually doing my research on restaurants and shops near our hotel and when I saw that we were 5 minutes walking distance to Nandos, I cried of happiness. I love Nandos but I live in San Diego so I can't get it unless I'm in the East Coast or the UK, when I saw that Chicago had a couple in their city I texted our girls chat to tell them where they could find me. This Nandos is a block or so away from Cloud Gate and it's so beautiful and spacious. Two of my friends wanted to join me while the other two kept shopping. I ended up choosing the chicken thigh skewers with rice and their lemonade. I usually opt for the lemon and herb and have the medium sauce on the side. The sauces are so good, I'm to sure if the States ever had it but in the UK you could actually get packets of peri sauce like how we do ketchup. Ugh, I miss the UK. Alas, the skewers were so flavorful and the chicken was juicy and tender and that rice was so good. I wish I had got the halloumi fries those are my favorite. Service was great and easy too, ordered through the app put our table number and our food came out so quickly. I'm not sure when I'll have a cheeky Nandos again so thank you for making my experience such a good one.

    I'm not really sure what the allure is. We waited over 15 minutes to be sat when there were…read moremultiple free tables, and the food took quite a while to show up. I also hate the QR code ordering/walk over to a station to order system. If you are going to be fast casual, either have me walk to a station to order when I walk in and then have me pick up the food from the counter/bring it to my table, or if I am waiting 15 minutes to be seated (while just hovering on the stairs - they don't even have a proper lobby to wait) then seat me and have table service with waitstaff. Also, the staff was aloof, clumsy, and not very personable. The ambiance is dull and nothing to brag about. The chicken sandwich had maybe 2-3 ounces of chicken on it - it didn't even fill half the bun. For $10 a sandwich, there should be more chicken. It was edible, but I won't be returning.

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.
