    Mango Limeade 16oz
    Shareeda B.

    Nando's Review Stopped by Nando's for a quick bite and it did not disappoint! I got the Lemon & Herb Chicken Wrap with fries and a refreshing Mango-Limeade on the side. The wrap was packed with juicy chicken, crisp lettuce, and fresh flavor--light but super satisfying. The fries? Crispy, golden, and the perfect sidekick. And the drink? A tropical, tangy twist that paired perfectly with the meal. Definitely a solid lunch spot--flavorful, fast, and fresh. Would I go back? Absolutely.

    Chicken Breast Sandwich
    Steve E.

    Its been a while since i been here. Last time I was here it was a good experience. This time as well. Staff and service is very nice and friendly. The chicken sandwhich was bomb The pineapple, the heat great mixture complemented the cheese and chicken condiments. Space is clean. Will come again

    Great experience for a late lunch at Nando's. It was slow getting service to be seated but then we ordered on the table with a QR code. Service was friendly and checked on us. For the food and drinks: the initial cocktail pitcher we ordered wasn't available but the orange mango lemonade was good, not too sweet. The mango lime wings and the Brussels sprouts were good and the sweet potatoes were my favorite. Garlic bread was also good. Overall a great experience for a quick meal. We'll be back

    Family Platter
    Phyoe T.

    We had the family platter for 6 of us. The chicken was soft and tasted pretty good. They have a variety of sauces but their sourness is not just for me. I didn't particularly like the sauces. Other than that, space is nicely decorated and clean.

    I usually like Nando's and the food was good and semi good customer service amazing playlist. However I ordered a brownie and never got it so I had to ask for a refund. I at first was told it would take "a minute"by this young kid that worked there. And hr and a half passed by and nothing came. We asked him to check on it and he didn't do it. The manager offered to give it to go but I didn't even want it at this point. The manager was nice enough to give me a refund. When she was processing the refund, another girl asked " how long do brownies take" and she said "oh just 30 seconds". Not sure what happened with my order but we got our wings fast and the brownie was no where to be found.

    Garlic Bread CLT PERi Chips with PERinaise
    Lade E.

    Nandos has a new menu item, the Garlic CLT, which keeps me coming back for more. I ordered it again and while it wasn't the best I've had, it did the trick. I had a side of fries with perinaise sauce. The fries were nice and hot. The kitchen was also very generous with the perinaise sauce. I'm usually running out of sauce before I get to the end of my meal but I had leftovers this time around. My chicken tasted a little bit too charred and the garlic bread bun was a bit dry. Nandos team members came around every 15 mins to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, which got annoying after the 3rd time but i appreciate the intentionality. Overall the food was decent. The table was a bit sticky but the environment was quiet and the music playing was definitely set the vibe. I think I prefer other locations for future visits but would return as a last resort.

    This was our first time trying South African food. It is delicious. The chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. The bathrooms are fancy.

    I've always had such a great experience at this location. My family and I will usually come here on Friday's. Employees are hospitable. You have the option to order online or walk to the register and place your order. We normally place our order online. The servers will bring your food to your table. They have a lovely clean station with additional utensils, napkins, sauces, wet naps, sink to wash your hands. They really do think of everything. We order the family meal that comes with 2 sides. Food is always well cooked, flavors explode in your mouth, it's super delicious. Parking here can be a little wonky because parking in front of the stores is usually taken so you may have to drive around and find additional parking which is usually behind the businesses.

    They sure have a lot of salsas!
    Becky H.

    First, here's a parking tip: don't depend on Google maps to get you here easily! The layout of this shopping center has Google sending me in circles. Park in back by Burlington! Excellent service and food. I had never had sweet potatoes prepared like that and really enjoyed them. Portuguese rice was also new to me, although my friend - who recently spent 2 weeks in Portugal - said it's a very regional dish with lots of variations. There's a self-serve salsa bar where you can get little cups of different flavors. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have mango lime to try, but I really liked the garlic & herb. Satisfying experience, all around!

    Fire roasted corn on the cob
    Gary H.

    So, this will be an odd review so please bare with me. I'm giving them 3 stars because the food isnt bad, just not for us. The place is clean, well lit, and the staff is very friendly. The food is kind of mini portions, we ordered wings with corn on the cob and cauliflower and everything was like bite size. The wings were tiny and the skin/outside were rubbery but cooked though. The corn was sweet and good but were little cobs with tiny kernels and the cauliflower was just cauliflower, nothing special and a small portion The flavor of the wings was ok, the sauces available are just not enough as only 3 to choose from but again just not for us, you may love it. So my bottom line, give it a try, you may like the food. The food

    Three generations of women went here for lunch today; myself, my mother and my grandmother. All of our first times. Parking was not good as there is not a designated spot for this building. When leaving, I had to drive my car to the front of the store to pick my ladies up - due to the longer walk. But food and customer service wise, all was well. The food was great - my bowl with some hot sauce was absolutely GREAT. Can you see the rainbow of colors? OMG. Covid guidelines caused us to use the QR code for ordering, no big issue. As a heads up, we did pay via cash - just ordered at the front register. Masks were worn as well, for employees and consumers as they traveled around the vicinity.

    This a full platter with rice and garlic cheese bread.

    Is it casual enough to bring your laptop to the table?

    Depends who you are with. It has more of a "cool casual" vibe but I find it kind of like taking your laptop to Chipotle. Nothing too fancy.

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.

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.

    Maydan had been on our list of places to try for a while. It can be tough to get a reservation. We…read morewere able to add ourselves on the OpenTable waitlist and receive alerts if a table opened up. Luckily we were able to get a table outside at 6PM on a Friday night for four people. The tawle tasting menu is about $100 per person and it was a great way to try the menu. We were able to pick from a list of spreads, vegetables and meats and at the end we were also able to choose two desserts based on our party size. You start with Mouneh - pickled vegetables, Honey Soaked Dates, and the most delicious Halloumi. You then select 3 spreads - Muhammara, Walnut Casik, and Beet Borani with warm pita bread. For entree we ordered Chicken Shish Taouk, Ribeye, and cauliflower. They had a nice cocktail list so we tried a few cocktails. The espresso martini includes gelato, and there was a green cocktail that was very refreshing. The service was really good. Please be aware that they do add a fee on the bill and guests may not notice this and may tip an additional amount which we did, but the service was outstanding. We were able to walk inside and see the open fire grill where they make the pitas on and go to the bathroom. We really enjoyed sitting in the alley on a nice evening.

The appetizer was dropped on my lap as the waitress cleared the plate. She didn't seem to care and said "slippery little things". $300 worth of food was delivered and not once were we asked how the food quality was. The problem is the $75 flat iron steak we ordered as medium came out as rare and was to the point it was hard to cut it was so chewy. Spoke to manager about the situation and his care meter seemed to be broken. It's a shame because ambiance and environment is great. The service was not.

    This was my second visit to this restaurant. My companion and i ordered from the happy hour menu…read morewhich is on the back of the full menu. It is a $24.95 flat price offering an appetizer, entree and dessert for that price. (Only available Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday from 5-6:30 pm). There were about 6 choices each for appetizers and entrees and 3 for dessert. My companion had a mussel appetizer and I had French Onion soup. My soup was a great example of the classic preparation. Bubbly and browned cheese over a deeply flavorful broth of onions and a slice of French bread. My companion loved the mussels. As to the entree I had what was called Beef Diane, a twist on the classic Steak Diane. It consisted of tips of filet in a delicious gravy flavored with cognac. My companion had Rainbow Trout and was very happy with it. For dessert we both had cheesecake with strawberry sauce. A good example of a New York style cheesecake. Both entrees were served with well cooked mixed vegetables. The portions were not a scaled down size but normal size. The meal comes with fresh baked toasted bread served warm. Delicious. The service was attentive which was to be expected because there were only 3 tables occupied. A complimentary shot of a what I think was kahlua was served at the end of the meal. The atmosphere is lots of dark wood and a classic bar. Great food and a great experience. Don't pass up this great value!!

    I cannot believe that I have lived within walking distance to this restaurant for the past three…read moreyears and never have visited. Hey, better late than never. Because of an unexpected change of plans, we decided to have a weekend dinner here, and it turned out to be a great decision - based on the food and service. What really worked for us was that the restaurant has a few outdoor tables, and the outdoor seating is dog-friendly. First, the restaurant has a pretty extensive menu with diverse options. I will admit that I was a bit overwhelmed when the waitress mentioned all of the specials for the evening. It seemed as the list kept going, going and going. Also, the restaurant has a dinner special for about 35 bucks that includes either a 3 course meal or a 2 course meal + a glass of wine. For my dining pleasure, I went with the baked (or maybe it was broiled) flounder that was served with potatoes and green beans. Overall, I thought my meal was absolutely delicious. I do wish the portions were slightly larger. Overall, I thought the service was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress was very friendly and constantly checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. Although we visited around 5:30 pm on a Saturday, I was a bit surpised with how crowed the restaurant became around 6:30 pm. If you are planning to visit around this time, I highly recommend making reservations even though this section of Wheaton can be relatively quiet. Also, the restaurant seems to be very popular with the eldery community. During our visit, I'd say the average age of diners was somewhere in the 60s.
