    Ooooooo!!! My all time fav when i crave grilled chicken with Portuguese rice and mashed potatoes!!!! Also....... Their Portuguese tart is out of the worlddddd!!! I can eat 100 of those omg it's sooo addictive!!!!!!! Please try this for dessert- you will thank me later :) Lot of staff to serve, so service was fast! But depends which day you go. If weekend, you might need to wait for a table longer and also for the food. Great ambiance at the Oakbrook location!

    Boneless Breast PERi Ranch Garlic Bread CLT, fries. Was so good!

    This place was amazing!!! This was my first time at Nando's but will NOT be my last! I started out slightly confused as I thought it was a fast food place and it kinda is. They sat me as though it was a full service....however they have a QR code(and a main register if you don't want to use the QR code) to order your food. After a small wait you will have your order brought to you! Everyone was so kind and helpful! The food: I got the boneless breast with medium sauce, garlic bread and fries and a side of ranch everything was hot fresh and delicious! They also had a wall or extra sauces that I tried a few. You'll have to find one that catches your eye but they were delicious as well! The ambiance: the location looked modern and clean tables were not left dirty for very long. Enough workers were walking around asking if anyone needed anything and how everything was. There was also someone standing by the entrance welcoming people and hiding them farewell. This place was awesome and I will for sure be recommending it to anyone who has the chance to try it!

    Oh my! Totally forgot how good this place was! Hadn't been in a while so I decided to take a trip to Nando's.... Glad I did, as I remember the place was clean and the service was very nice and the atmosphere was great! Food was very good. I'm glad I went there...

    Full Platte. Their sides are getting smaller and smaller!

    This restaurant is one our favorites that we go to. The service is ok. The ambiance is ok too, but the 2 seat tables need to be bigger so we can have room for the multiple plates. The food It's always on point and delicious. Their sauces are very tasty. We have been going here for a long time. Over the years, the chicken itself and sides are getting smaller and smaller. It feels like we are getting charged for large sides and getting small sides instead. Even Stevie Wonder can see the size changes. We will always be regulars and repeat customers, but don't play us like we can't see differences in the food portions!

    Some burnt some tiny 6 PERi-PERi Wings with PERi Ranch

    Disappointed on recent visit. Ordered wing & fries unfortunately wings were tiny & some burnt. Order took about 15-20 mins which seems long considering restaurant wasn't super busy. Altho staff was friendly I never got my dessert which once reminded I took it to go. I used to come often post Covid but feel like this recent visit things have kinda gone downhill. Hopefully improvements will be made especially with confusion as to order at counter or table with QRCode. They need to streamline that as well as improving food quality

    I was so excited to try Nando's restaurant as we don't have one locally in my hometown. I loved the vibe of the restaurant. It was dimly lit and the menu although simple was able to please everyone in our party. My chicken was perfectly cooked and I enjoyed all of the sauces that were there for me to try. I really hope they put one in our area. The service was also excellent. Everyone was attentive and cared about the needs of the patrons . I really like the fact that you can order your food online and it's brought to your table. Everything was fresh and hot and I will definitely be Visiting again when I'm in the Chicago area.

    recently stopped by the Nando Peri Peri at Oakbrook Mall and was absolutely delighted by the entire experience from two employees - Aleq and Askar. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and well-versed in the different spice levels. The dining area was spotless and brightly lit, with plenty of seating even during the busy lunch hour.

    The Food was very religious, if you like your food spiced up this is the place. The fries were crispy and hot. The people who work at Peri-Peri were very professional. The restaurant is very clean. Only issue is they want you to use the app at the table. After 4 attempts has to get up and order at the counter. Other then that I highly recommend eating hear. A bit pricey $$$$

    Normally, I'm obsessed with this place! I wish it was as good as it was in London. When we arrived around dinner time on a Thursday night, this place was nearly empty however they had a wait just to get a table and hardly any staff. Once we sat down, we realize that all of the ordering took place at the table with a QR code, so I'm not sure why we couldn't sit when we arrived. Additionally, there were several items on their printed menus that were not listed when we went to order. The service was OK but not very helpful. They were also out of several sauces, to go boxes and other utensils and did not do a very good job of keeping everything clean and stocked thankfully the food is always delicious. Otherwise I would not be coming back!

    Updated review. I come here regularly. The food is always yummy, the place is clean, service is great and fast. Their app gives your perks so you can get discounts or free food. All in all, so yummy and good bank for your buck if you want something a notch nicer than fast food.

    Our Bowls and sauces!

    My husband and I stopped by for an early dinner. We decided to sit outside in patio and enjoy the lovely weather.!We ordered two bowls . I chose the Peri Chicken Bowl which was shredded Chicken on top of Portuguese rice with Hummus ,Arugula , Red Peppers and Corn. My husband chose a chicken breast with hot sauce as his bowl protein. So tasty and we thought the Hummus was very high quality . One can chose to supplement their bowl with a variety of sauces from a sauce counter inside restaurant . We ended the healthy delish dinner with a Portuguese Custard called Naughty Nata. The custard tart was warm and perfectly flaky with a hint of Cinnamon. Very good meal. Portions are on the light side so if you are a hearty eater you may want to supplement with some sides.

    This is a great fast service restaurant within the Oak Brook shopping center, on the second level right next to AMC. There's a good amount of seating inside and outside. The staff inside were all friendly. We ordered first and then sat down. The food came out quickly, and was very flavorful. The chicken itself was very delicious and fresh. We also enjoyed their special drink of the honey lavender lemonade. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get.

    LESS FOR MORE This…read moreHalal chicken spot charges an awful lot for their food. The Port of Peri Peri has a storefront next to a Dunkin on Weber Rd in Bolingbrook, about half a mile north of I-55.  We tried them once before (in 2020) hoping for a better experience five years later, unfortunately that wasn't the case. My biggest hangup is that everything is just too expensive.  A ¼ chicken is $10 and comes with no sides, which are $4.50 each.  Compare this to Nando's where the same ¼ chicken is $7.75 and sides are just $3. The chicken & rice bowl ($18) was my wife's pick and she enjoyed it, however I don't think it was a good value.  Twenty bucks for what amounts to 4 chicken tenders over rice?  C'mon. I will say that their stuff is legitimately SPICY.  Even the 'mild' has plenty of punch, nevermind the 'hot' which sent me into a coughing fit.  Definitely steer towards the lower end of their heat scale. Their pop machine was out-of-order (and it appeared to have been for some time).  Dining room chairs weren't the comfiest, and the random chandelier - although elegant - doesn't in with fit the ambiance. Employees were nice. I used a coupon mailer for $5 off, which made the eyebrow-raising cost a bit more tolerable.  Without one, I probably wouldn't return. * TL;DR * I'm not a fan of overpaying, be it clothes, cars, or chicken(s). An a la carte sandwich here is a whopping $14!  (only $9 at Nando's) Also of note, these Peri fries don't come with a special mayo or anything for dipping.  Perhaps corn is a better choice? The best thing I can say about Port of Peri Peri is that they don't play around with spices.  When they say something is hot, they mean it.  Other than that, not too many redeeming qualities here.

    What went well? Everything. The restaurant was clean, open, and inviting. The staff was friendly,…read moregentle and helpful.

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!
