    12 REALLY small wings.
    Allen G.

    Food was ok. Chicken was good, but they once again, no longer have their creamy dressing for the wings. Plus they no longer have a side salad. Plus the wings like they look like they came up baby chickens. to say they were small would be an understatement. The size did not look much bigger. And three lunches were not worth the $75 for lunch today.

    1/4 cup of mashed potatoes that is the "large side"

    Ordered the 45$ platter that comes with 2 large sides. We ordered mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. There was 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes

    Hair in my rice... YUCK

    Well, I am still trying to see what the hype is about. I mean the chicken is okay. The mashed potatoes are good. BUT THE RICE HAD A HAIR IN IT... that just turned me all the way off. This location is kinda a self serve. No one serves you. You are using the QR code or walking up to the cashier to place your order. The manager tried to give me free coupons for next time but I would not go back.

    This is a really nice location. Plenty of seating inside and out. I decided to sit outside and enjoy my lunch since it was a nice day. The service was spectacular. As soon as I entered the establishment I was greeted and asked whether I was dining in or taking out. He then grabbed me all the essentials and took me to my table. I tried to order from the app as suggested but for some reason it did not work. I went inside to order. That was a bummer. Nonetheless, I ordered the sweet & spicy chicken wrap with peri chips & perinaise. The food took a tad long to come and it wasn't many people in the establishment. Overall, the ambiance is great, I loved the sink to wash your hands, and the food was good. I am always a sucker for the peri chips with the perinaise. The peri ranch sauce was really good too. I was dipping my sweet and spicy chicken wrap in that. Will def be back.

    I was pleasantly surprised with my Nando's experience - it looked like a chain popping up everyday and I was curious to try it. I got the Nando's bowl with lemon chicken, golden turmeric rice and arugula. This dish was really nice and I felt healthy. The chicken was a little dry but overall went well with the other flavors of the bowl. Then the waiter recommended the standard 1/2 chicken and I got it medium spicy with a side of corn. Very very yummy! I liked the chicken with more flavor compared to the lemon chicken. The best part is how beautifully decorated the restaurant is - so colorful and inviting. It also helped that the staff was super friendly. Can't wait to come back and see if my picky kids will like anything!

    Been coming to this location for over 8 years. Overall it is very good. I usually go for the wing platter. Love the extra extra hot peri peri. Fries are great. Love sauces.

    Wow, this location is simply excellent. The Annapolis location which I had visited for years recently closed. I made a lot of memories there after working at the Annapolis Mall for many years. I was very sad that it closed, and was extremely grateful this location is still around as I like it better. Although I didn't order any this visit, my favorite thing about this location is that it offers draft beer! I feel this sets it apart from others. The food is always very fresh and hot. The staff is trying really hard to go above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a good experience. I had a nice conversation with the manager when I was here. She truly went above and beyond and made my experience "magical" to say the least- I went straight home to tell my family all about how she made my day with her kindness. I will be visiting often, I love the food here so much. The restaurants atmosphere with the unique art and music are just such a great experience. I always feel like I'm transported to a different location, like I'm on vacation. I like how each locations decor is unique to them, so you never really have the same experience twice. I've visited and dined at quite a lot of Nandos locations - Annapolis, Laurel, Arundel Mills, Gaithersburg, Gambrills, and Ashburn. I'm pretty well versed on the menu as I've tried most of the items. My favorite item and a MUST have for me is the hummus and pita. The peri drizzle is my favorite part and really makes the dish. They briefly had a shortage during COVID, and I stopped ordering it for awhile because of this. An employee at this location introduced me to the XX hot sauce while the peri drizzle was out of stock. I truly enjoyed this suggestion and never would have tried it otherwise. Now, I always add this sauce to my plate even though my beloved drizzle has returned! :) I even have my own bottle at home ;) I love that Nandos sells all of my favorite sauces- I've even bought giant bottles at Costco ! The hummus item has recently changed and now has some sort of topping on top. I don't really care for it, and would prefer it the plain old way. I like to order on the app at my table - and don't see a spot to remove it. I hope they add this feature to the app soon (or maybe I missed it). For entrees , I always order either the 1/4 chicken, 3 chicken thighs, or chicken Caesar wrap. I ALWAYS get the fries, they are amazingly crisp and perfectly seasoned. No where else compares ! I love to dip them in the garlic peri sauce or hummus ;) When I'm not ordering a draft beer, I love the Coke freestyle machine. I appreciate that they keep it well maintained and it's usually never out of my favorite flavor combos of Coke Zero. This is worth mentioning because so many local restaurants neglect their machines and half the time there aren't even any diet options in stock. I recently noticed the sign for bottomless Peach Rooibos Tea and decided to give it a try. The tea is absolutely incredible and a great value at only $2.99! I will 100% be adding this amazing drink to my afternoon treat drink rotation. Their lemonades are also amazing and taste like a very special treat from a fancy juice stand. Maybe I've said too much, but I could go on and on about how much I love Nandos and this is my favorite location. What are you waiting for? Hurry on over for a visit today. ;) I know I'll be spending a lot of my summer on their beautiful outdoor patio which is perfect for people watching. :)

    Is it Immanuel? Or Emmanuel? Why is this guy working at a chain restaurant? This guy should either be working at a corporate ladder, rising ranks and becoming CEO or have his own business because his communication, how he reacts and his consistency in taking initiative is excellent. Food was great. Nick too was awesome in his level of communication with others. He was super outgoing and accommodating. Both of these guys are over performing and that's just who they are. They should be recognized as more than just restaurant employee(s).

Food is great like the other locations. Every time I go to this location, their scanner doesn't work to get the points. So, they tell me to scan the receipt, which is a hassle, and you have to remember to do that. I had some issue relating to rewards and spoke with the manager, who was nice. I believe it was using my birthday deal, and she tried with the scanner to no avail. She gave me the meal on the house, which was unexpected. That day in winter 2024, this Nando's was my favorite and would've gotten 5-stars. Last time my girlfriend & I were here was on 12/9/25. To be fair, I didn't want to overeat, and getting 1/2 chicken with 2 sides can be a weight gain for me, and my weight was inflated in general in December 2025 due to the holidays. We went for a somewhat early dinner around 5:30 as we had an advanced movie screening at Egyptian Cinemark. I got the 1/4 chicken white with Brussel sprouts (which is always $2 upcharge) and Peri-Peri chips (Nando's fancy way of saying fries). I wish I took a pic of the December 9, 2025 chicken here, but I went only 9 days later to the Laurel location on 12/18 as I had points expiring and needed to use points relatively soon before they went away, and there was a decent amount of meat on the 1/4 chicken as I did sent a pic to my girlfriend from the Laurel location. The chicken at Hanover maybe had about 1/2 the amount of meat as it should have, which the Laurel location was about right and was the right amount of chicken per 1/4 piece in my picture from March 2024 attached of this location then. I was complaining to my girlfriend about this nonsense some of our time here; put me in a worse mood. Also, the Brussel sprouts were in a smaller container, and I'm paying an extra $2 upcharge to get a smaller container. The normal amount of fries, which isn't a ton of fries. I told my g/f I hate to say it, I'm still kind of hungry and kept mentioning possibly going to Yogurt Mountain. I certainly wasn't going to reward Nando's with being more food or dessert there. We ended up going to Yogurt Mountain, which was delicious, but I didn't really want to supplement my lacking meal with sugary dessert when weight was already up in December, not to mention extra cost. The same nice manager who was helpful in early 2024 came around to see how our meals were. I like when managers check on the customers. Instead of my response of great or good, I gave a more of a lackluster response of aah ok. Before I had any chance to elaborate, she quickly walked away. She was going to other tables to see how other tables were doing, so while good she was checking on the other customers, but I was frustrated as I was going to say more. We didn't bother talking to the manager afterward as we didn't have that much time, and remember we were unexpectedly going to Yogurt Mountain to supplement before going to our movie. Ultimately, Laurel was better, and I'll remember just go to Laurel location or maybe elsewhere other than Hanover from now on.

Unfortunately, this location didn't hold up. The ordering process was a mess from the start. They were out of boneless chicken, so we pivoted to a half chicken... only to be told they were out of that too. Then it turned out they did have it. We ordered the hummus appetizer and got the side portion instead, which meant another trip to the counter to sort it out. We ordered medium peri peri sauce and got something noticeably spicier. Too tired and hungry to send it back, we just ate it... and the meal just didn't hit the way Nando's usually does. The mushy peas we'd been looking forward to aren't even on the menu anymore, which was its own small disappointment. On the bright side, I ordered a 5 oz glass of wine and got what looked like a double pour. Not complaining... but it does sum up the vibe. The staff seemed indifferent, whether it was end-of-night fatigue or just an off-night, hard to say. We'll probably give Nando's another shot elsewhere, but this DC visit was disappointing enough that I can't really recommend this location.

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.

I was up that way in March 2023 for a trivia tournament and thought to get an early lunch at Raising Cane's as I was excited to try at the time the only location in MD, but parking was a pain and line was too long. So, I ended up eating at the trivia tournament venue. Then, in September 2023, they opened this 2nd MD location here on a Friday. I went on its 2nd day that Saturday as coincidentally, I had a trivia tournament. It was a madhouse on route 3 in the left lane getting in here. I ended up parking on the Wendy's side as it was too hectic in there; you're not supposed to do that, and I never did that again, but that 1st weekend was hectic. Line was long, but they were going as quickly as they could. I was a bit nervous about my timing, but eventually, I got my food, ate a bit quicker than usual, and drove the 5 minutes to the trivia tournament. It was delicious. I love the chicken tenders, fries, & Texas toast here. I don't really like coleslaw, but I don't mind theirs. The baskets come with a drink, and I get half sweet/half unsweet tea every time, and it's freshly brewed. My girlfriend & I went to this location a couple of times mostly in 2024. Chicken baskets are always on point. In June 2024, we bumped into someone from trivia, which we three were going to tournament. He loved Raising Cane's probably even more than me. He said he lived very close to here and would come here sometimes multiple times a week. He also replaced fries (which is unhealthy) with more Texas toast (which is also unhealthy but maybe less so), and he loved the Texas toast more than fries. I agree with him on that here, but I want the fries as I want the variety. I'll keep coming back as a Caniac!

    The food is so delicious and the staff are really nice, and they offer a military discount. My…read morefavorite part of the meal is the chicken and the bread
