    I stopped by for a quick lunch, and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by a very sweet lady who directed me to the takeout counter. From the young gentleman who took my order to the manager who stepped in to help, everyone was kind, helpful, and attentive. I didn't wait long at all from the moment I ordered to when my food was ready, and it was still hot and fresh. I'll take that! And as always, the olives are my absolute favorite part of any dish. They are sooo good. Pricey, yes... but definitely worth it. I didn't get a picture of my actual food because it didn't make it to the photo stage (if you know, you know ), but I did manage to capture the ambiance. I love the theme and design of this location. One thing about Nando's, every location has its own unique vibe. This one is filled with plants, colors, and beautiful lighting, and I love that. It's truly a gorgeous restaurant. I'll definitely be back.

    Jumbo chicken platter - 2 whole chicken
    Patrick L.

    It has been a while since we have been back. What a turnaround! Staff were friendly and helpful. Food remains is still as good. We ordered the jumbo chicken platter ( 2 whole chicken) plus sides of Portuguese rice, French fries, Brussel sprouts and Mac & cheese. The chicken was grill to perfection. Has the grilled taste on the outside and juicy on the inside. The grilled corn on the cob were sweet and did not have to put butter on it. We had to wait for the chicken as they ran out. It was nice of them to let us know and gave us a couple of free appetizers (garlic sticks & Halloumi sticks). Halloumi stickers were delicious! Restaurant is nicely decorated. Semi-dim lighting. Pretty sure it's bright during the day as they have big clear windows. We will be back again now that they are much friendlier.

    I LOVE visiting Nando's and trying there South African delicious chicken dishes. I got there, Perry Perry, chicken sandwich and the half chicken with mac & cheese, rice and fries. The flavor of the chicken was fantastic. The mac & cheese was made to perfection, the South African style rice was such a perfect touch to the whole meal. I was also very impressed by the well seasoned crispy fries that we tried. My favorite sauce is the lemon herb and what I love to do is mix that with the extra hot to get a nice lemon/herb/spicy taste going. The ambience is very upbeat with catchy South African music playing in the background. Service was also great. I love coming here and encourage everyone to try them.

    I'm a big fan of Nando's and have visited this location multiple times. Normally, the food is consistently flavorful and satisfying. Unfortunately, my experience this past Saturday didn't live up to the usual standards. I ordered the medium Thigh & Mighty chicken sandwich--while the chicken itself was tender, the sauce and overall flavor were lacking. I'd rate it a 6/10, when it's usually an easy 8 or higher. My partner had the Nandoca's Choice sandwich along with the wings, and both were dry and surprisingly bland. A disappointing 4/10 :( I'm still a loyal Nando's fan, but this visit left us underwhelmed. I really hope the quality isn't starting to slip as time goes on. Fingers crossed it was just an off day.

    I get the hype now. I've always seen Nando's in passing, but never really thought to stop by until now! I'm honestly a chicken breast hater, so I always order chicken thigh. The chicken thigh is juicy and the sauces are so good. The lemon herb is my favorite! If you like cheese, try the halloumi sticks with chili jam. Such a great combo. The mac and cheese here isn't heavy at all, which is how I prefer it to be.

    Chicken wrap with Mango & Lime sauce (too mild for me) and a side of African Rice (too starchy for me)

    I came to Nando's Peri Peri Chicken a couple of times already. Both times were with my friends from the Toastmasters club after the meetings. Of course, we came near their closing time. We often get people disappointed by few menu items ran out. That's usual for these specially made grill chicken. Food here was great and service was decent. My first time, I ordered a wrap with the rice. I didn't like the rice because it was not to my standard. I grew up eating rice. I wouldn't cook rice halfway and add seasonings. I tried to use the online ordering method to get my food. First time it took forever and it failed to process. My second time here, I prayed really hard and it went through. I ordered the chicken livers. Man, that was so tasty. I believe they used the same seasoning for the grilled chicken. Every time I eat here, I always promise myself to order the grilled chicken next time. I kept forgetting. Yeah. I will try them next time.

    Mango & Lime Chicken Skewers, Mac & Cheese

    I thought this meal was pretty good. Got the Chicken Skewers, Mango & Lime flavor, and they were juicy and had good flavor. The mac and cheese was nice!

    Oh Nandos! I was introduced to this chain while living in Reading, England. This place was my go to restaurant for flavor! The typical England diet is very bland. So, when I saw that they opened one right in Texas!! I was astonished. I know they were slowly bringing them to different parts of the United States. This is my fourth time so far, I love the cleanliness, the decor, and option to order at your table. This time I ordered at my table which I found was convenient. The service was great and the staff were attentive. I came during lunch so it was a busy crowd. They have ample parking and seating inside and outside. I typically order the corn, and mashed potato and the wings. The cocktail was pretty good, and complimented my meal. I see they have added some additional side dishes and upon my return I plan on trying them. I love Nandos, they are my go to also in the airport:).

    My friend suggested this place before our MFK perfume event in the Galleria. She and her fiancé love ordering chicken here. I've seen Yelp elite events here but had never been. The restaurant shares parking to various stores and other restaurants in a shopping center. It was a nice weather day, so we sat outside in the patio area. There's a table number you can text for ordering, and someone brings out the food to you. I ordered the limited spring special strawberry rose lemonade. It was sweet and tart as expected. Not sure I tasted much of the rose flavor but still good. I ordered the 3 chicken thighs (medium heat) with two sides - Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. I thought the presentation was nice with the little flag showing the heat level on the grilled chicken thighs. Each side had its own container. Brussels sprouts were good. The mac and cheese was ok. The cheese sauce was a little runny and not very cheesy. I was a little disappointed with the chicken thighs. The grill taste was overpowering with that charcoal or burnt flavor. The chicken was also kind of dry which shouldn't be because it's dark meat. I expected a little more juicy flavor. The Peri Peri sauces come in a variety. I had the hot and garlic flavor. The sauces are too Tabasco-like for me, so I didn't care much for them. My friend had ordered fries which were seasoned and tasted better. I should've ordered that instead of the mac and cheese. We added an extra side of halloumi cheese which is expensive for 2 small pieces. Service was friendly. Patio area is nice on a cool day. It was nice to try but probably won't return.

    Kids Lemon Herb Thigh and Leg
    Leah W.

    This was my first time ever trying Nando's and I was pleased! I ordered a Kids Leg and Thigh Combo with a Side of Portuguese Rice. It came with a brownie. I also ordered some garlic bread. The chicken was soooo delicious. I chose the Lemon Herb sauce for mine and it was so good. The chicken was juicy, tender and seasoned all the way through and the grill flavor was amazing!! I did not care for the rice as it was dry and the amount was soo small even for a kid but i'd try the french fries next if I order again. The garlic bread was sooo good! It was buttery and the garlic was all throughout each bite. The bread was super soft too so that's a plus! Surprisingly the triple chocolate brownie was good too lol. I wasn't expecting much from it but if you like a fudgy dark chocolate type brownie then you'll like it!! Overall, I loved the aesthetic inside of the restaurant. It was very homely and represented South Africa! I also liked how they are very generous with the peri peri sauce options. There are different heat levels and you can try as many of each one as you want! If it's one thing i'd recommend here is the chicken because I will definitely be coming back for it!

    Delicious chicken with two sides
    Annie A.

    Nando's is an International food chain, and the last time I had it in Malaysia I enjoyed it very much. Luckily, they opened two locations in Houston, so I have to have it. Let's start with service first, which has been the first impression of any business. The host was polite and gave us the choice of seating, which was very nice of him. One good thing about this place is that half of the food is self-served, including ordering from your table. Alternatively, you can go to the front area and order food. Here are our favorite dishes, and we would love to go back again and again. Highly recommended

    Andrea K.

    Plenty of free parking available. Not crowded on a Saturday night. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cool and modern. At this location, you use a QR code to order and pay, and the staff will bring your food out. Water, sauces, and everything else is self service but easy to figure out. I took off one star just because some of the glasses at the water station were not clean and had streaks on them. The flavors of the chicken were amazing, and the meat was tender and juicy. The portion sizes were generous as well so this location is up there compared to other locations I've tried. Will be back!

    Marketing works. Went here initially for a Yelp event. When I saw the wall filled with hot, hotter and super spicy hot sauce, I knew my FIL would love it. Went for family dinner on a Friday. Used my BOGO coupons to get a couple of rainbow salads with chicken. Thanks to the Yelper who gifted me their coupon. Signed up for the Peri Perks rewards program and got another salad with a bottle of Peri-Peri sauce. Three days later, I get a call from my FIL. Guess what? He loved it and wants to go back for another chicken rainbow salad. Avocado. Pickled cauliflower. Tomato, onion and cucumber salad. Hummus. Feta. Grilled chicken. Sprinkled with a super seed crunch and served over Portuguese rice. I added salad the second time around and an order of hummus with pita and veggies while we waited for our meal. Peri-Peri, also known as the African Bird's Eye Chili, is the key to the flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. Nando's originated in South Africa, but Peri-Peri originated in Mozambique. The chili used at Nando's reflects the blend of cultures present in these countries and now shared throughout other parts of the world. Thanks for another wonderful dining experience. We will be back again...and again.

However, after getting repeated negative feedback from passengers, I decided to visit the restaurant myself after a long time to see what had changed. The moment I opened the door, I was hit by intense heat that felt like a desert. The restaurant had a noticeable, uncomfortable odor due to the lack of proper air conditioning. They were relying on large fans instead, which created so much noise that you couldn't even enjoy the background music. The seating was equally poor. The chairs were worn down, sunken, and very uncomfortable. Visually, the dining area was cluttered with excessive hanging fabrics, making it feel more like a textile store than a clean, welcoming restaurant. I decided to try the food and ordered the Awaze Lamb Tibs in another section of the dining room. The dish was extremely greasy and soaked in oil. The side vegetables served with it were bruised, unappetizing, and inedible. Despite being hungry, I could only manage to pick out a few pieces of meat, leaving the rest. The high prices do not match the poor quality of the food or the environment. Until they fix the air conditioning, clean up the cluttered decor to allow proper airflow, and overhaul their food quality and customer comfort, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues, but I will not be returning until major changes are made.

I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

    Super cute speakeasy hidden inside a sushi restaurant. We went on a weekday evening and had no…read moretrouble getting a table. I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!
