I love peri peri! Christian is so nice and patient. I dined here when I realized BJ's and Bonefish were out of business. He explained everything and was so polite to my mom and I. The inside ambiance is so cool and chill and we got the chicken thigh skewers and it was so good! Highly recommended! We tried the new Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes and it was so good! We will definitely be back! read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - South African Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Lunch visit this past weekend with my kids. I believe they're trying to minimize personal contact by having folks order at tables via a QR code on the menu brochure. Why the conclusion? The counter attendant looked pissed we would even think of going to the counter to order! What freaks we are!! Nando Peri Peri offers chicken centric fusion cuisine (Brazilian and South African) with various degrees of heat via their sauces. You can also bring sauces to the table Three of us ordered the Rainbow platter: chicken, rice, pickled cauliflower, cucumber, cherry or grape tomatoes, avocado, hummus and feta cheese. One ordered a chicken platter with fries. Despite the initial confusion and condescension,, food was excellent! Best part of the deal? Most of the menu is friendly enough to give my daughter a great option for dining out despite some allergies. Decor is simple and seating is comfortable. Oh, the food was great! read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - Family Lunch!! - South African Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Another Nando's, another excellent lunch! The food was great. Felt bad for the ONE employee they had taking orders and running food to the tables. What a sweet person - so lame to staff like that. I had to wait quite a while for my order, the ONE employee was so busy. Parking a hassle in the area, paid only. Still, it's a clean, big cheery location so that's nice. Enjoyed my meal, chicken cooked perfectly. Brussels were delicious. read more

I don't usually go to Nando's a lot but if I do, I love to get the chicken bowl! I like how balanced it is and it is pretty filling! Additionally, if you are a saucy person you can get more sauces to add to your food. They have them on the side and you can add as much as you want to onto your bowl. Sauces range from garlic medium to extra hot sauce so there's bound to be a sauce for everyone to enjoy! Service was good too. We sat inside and got our food relatively fast and we were checked up on pretty often. Note: I didn't know Nando's had a happy hour menu but it looks pretty good and I would love to visit again to try it! For the happy hour, it's available from now until mid July. read more

I recently stopped at Nando Peri Peri (Towson). It's located directly across from the Towson Towne Center in Towson Square. Nando Peri Peri is South African (SA) based cuisine. Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised with how comfortable and inviting the interior was. It was as if I stepped into someone's really chill/ laid back home. Vibrant colors everywhere, impressive lighting fixtures throughout the space, vaulted ceiling and a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and professional. The associate explained what the Elite event entailed and she walked me through all the options available. I truly appreciated that. She even let me taste the sauces b4 making a selection (I opted for Mango Lime). I was also allowed to taste the two juices they offered. SCORE!!! On to the grub-a-dub-dub: 1. Combo & 1 Side: 1/4 Chicken Breast w/ Mango & Lime sauce. The chicken breast was grilled nicely. The meat was moist and full of flavor. A great sized breast for a meal. SCORE!!! 2. I also got an order of PERI Chips (french fries). Crisp on the outside, pillowy inside. Perfect. SCORE!!! 3. To wash everything down, I grabbed a Pineapple Limeade (I mixed the two drinks. EXCELLENT CHOICE!). SCORE!!! There was also a massive condiments area where you could grab pre-packaged utensils, ketchup, napkins and a wide array of sauces you could prepare yourself (w/ the dipping cups provided). The flavored offerings were: a) Lemon & Herb [mild] b) Wild Herb [medium] c) Garlic [medium] d) Straight Medium and e) Straight Hot. I got Sample's of every flavored sauce and left the straight sauces alone (not a massive fan of heat). They were all tasty but BOY-o-BOY, they all STILL had some heat in them. Hooo-wee!!! But man, we're they good!!! SCORE! This was an excellent experience. I will definitely stop thru here again when in Towson. read more

I was introduced to Nando's in the 90's when I visited London. What I do remember was that I was impressed. I never visited Nando's again. After all these years I came across this location and I wanted to bring up old and tasty memories. A server welcomed me and said I could order at the table or he could help me out. I was seated at the table and was instructed to scan a QR code to order with my phone. I ordered my food a bowl and wings and shortly the items were delivered at my table. It felt like I was ordering out while still at the restaurant. I had already paid for my order after I made my choices on my phone. So after I was done I just left. It felt weird, like a food court at the mall. It didn't have a restaurant feel or experience. The food was okay, the wings were tender and the bowl was filled with fresh ingredients, but flavor wise, it was blend. I know I had the chicken leg back in London, maybe I should've ordered that again. Maybe another time to give it a shot, but then I will do take out and eat it in the comfort of my hotel room. The drink was the best of the whole experience, that was really some good stuff! read more

Getting here can be a bit of a pain; you have to find parking and walk all the way up there. Almost all restaurants around this one have closed. This is such a cute shopping area, but just not popular anymore. I hope someone is able to figure out how to make it more friendly for people. The restaurant - was very empty at the time that I went. The server was very kind, but not very sure of herself or knowledgeable of the menu, etc. I could tell she was younger and didn't have a lot of experience (she was super kind though) The food - it is always good; this chicken is delicious and I love their sides. The only down-side is that the sides feel a little small compared to the amount of chicken. I sure hope that Nando's can stay here and that more businesses settle in this beautiful shopping center. read more

My first time visiting and I would return. It's not anything amazing overall, but the chicken is what helped to give it 5 stars. For the price, it left a lot to be desired. Pros. The chicken was super flavourful and juicy Your party can all order and pay individually. The hostess was super friendly Cons The sides had little to no flavor Food came out far in between even though we all ordered within seconds of each other. It was hard to get staff attention read more

Nice place to get something to eat. I had the extra hot chicken and boy was it delicious. I tried the Peruvian rice for the first time. It had a nice spicy taste to it but, not sure what made the texture gritty. I am very particular about the textures of good sometimes. I think I would not get the rice again. It was very different. But, I say try it because you just may like it. Employees here are very friendly and welcoming. read more

I placed a take-out order using the online ordering system. I was supposed to receive my order at 4:06pm. I didn't receive it until 4:37pm. I tried the charred sweet potato and cinnamon sugar for the first time. It was awful and looked very unappealing. Looked nothing like the pics on their website. I honestly wouldn't even feed it to my dogs. I also ordered the full chicken platter and was supposed to receive 2 large sides but one of my sides was a regular one, not large. The service wasn't good and the food did not make up for it. The girl who was getting the orders ready and putting them on the shelf put my order on the shelf even though I was standing right there waiting for more than 1/2 hour. I have attached pics of the inedible charred sweet potato I received. I submitted a complaint and I will update this review if/when I hear back from management. 11/2/2021 update: I heard back from the GM of the restaurant I visited. He offered a free meal and side or refund, as well as apologized. I have updated my review to 3 stars from the previous 2. read more

My sister spoke very highly about the Peri Peri lemon herb wings & she is very picky about food! However, I would rate the wings 6/10! They were old like they made them this morning a reheated them for my PM order. I also got the Red skin mashed potatoes 8/10, cauliflower and brussels sprouts which were 2/10! I do believe if you get the wings fresh off the grill they would be delicious! I may give the wings another try but I would have to dine in. read more

My friends and I stopped here for a quick lunch for the our friend's graduation and everything was so good.

I ordered the chicken breast sandwhich with avocado and the lavender honey lemonade and it was so good. read more

So we have been going to Nando's for quite some time , mostly in the UK . Every time we come this way we try to pop in . The chicken is always hot and the sides are a good size . It's an easy menu with just enough variety especially if you don't feel like chicken. Tonight we finally got the Brussels sprouts. They are usually not available but they were perfectly cooked and taste good . Glad we finally mage it . It's a good place for hot quick and healthier food. read more

Fantastic food at a fantastic establishment! I 1st chose this place a few years ago when  I chose this place to meet with the good girl friend of mine so we could get caught up and have lunch together and I'm so glad I did! This place was a home run and she loved her food just as much as I did! I ordered a quarter dark meat chicken with brussels and my girlfriend ordered a quarter white meat chicken with brussels and mashed potatoes. We were silent for at least 15 minutes as we devoured this food that was given to us! And I even got a specialty drink, anyone who knows me knows I typically don't buy drinks... Juices, Etc. I am so glad that I did! And most importantly in my book, customer service was fantabulous!  Initially I was greeted while I was still coming through the doorway and same when I left!  Staffing, brought us anything that we needed, and even offered us dessert! I was too stuffed for dessert!  First visit, we both received free appetizer coupons to return back!  I couldn't wait to return! The parking situation isn't the best, but definitely isn't the worst! It's garage parking and they validate. What validation Park is only $2! What more can you ask for knowing that your car is indoors and safe? And when you come out of the garage the restaurant is right there on your left hand side! This location as well as others are frequently visited !! Great concept Nando, Great concept !! read more

I am very disappointed! You were my favorite restaurant. For the price you charge, you give a pathetic amount of sides. A spoon of mashed potato really? How unhappy can your worker be to screw up your quality for take outs? You might want to make this right because you charge a good amount for small chicken parts already now you are screwing the sides too? Nandos you are better than this! read more

I love Nando's! This is one of my favorite places to go for dinner in Towson. There is always great service, everyone is so friendly. My latest visit was for the "Nando's dash" in which we got to choose a free chicken meal- a sandwich, pita, or a quarter chicken. I always go with the chicken pita in general, so that's what I got, and I got fries with peri-peri sauce. My favorite sides include the fries, peas, mashed potatoes, and Brussel sprouts (seasonal). The only thing, expect to be paying around $15-20 if you want sides with your food (it adds up fast!) The desserts are okay at best and a little overpriced. Since you are in Towson, you can find somewhere else for dessert easily. read more

What a change this place had since the last time I've been here! Wow! This place is fantastic! The service was fantastic, everyone was super friendly and checked on us throughout the meal. You order up front and they give you a table number to sit at and they bring you your food! The food was delicious and well seasoned and reasonably priced and proportioned. The overall feel of the restaurant is welcoming and clean! All of the tables and seats were clean, there was lots of room to sit. read more

The food flavors are dynamic combination of tangy to mild to hot, your choice of temperature. There are four flavors for the dishes. The Rosé Sangria was do good as it was not overly sweet. Every dish is freshly made and you savor it all in a cacophony of flavors, especially with the Golden Cauliflower! The super-seeds atop the sweet chili sauce covered cauliflower made this dish for me. The staff were extremely attentive as each person who delivered our dishes came back around and inquired about our satisfaction; this rarely occurs. The ambiance is cozy and spacious with access to the different sauces for your tasting pleasure! It was such a wonderful dining experience! read more

I like the location of this store even if I had to pay extra for parking (it's discounted if validated). Sometime's it's the only thing we do there! LOL. My whole family loves Nando's! The adult because of the sauce and the kids love the plain chicken. When in a big group, we order the family meals and we can spend more or less $120 for a group of 6 adults and 2 kids. They don't always require tips because you need to order yourself, and refill your drinks as usual. That's the best part actually. LOL. read more

One thing that sets this Nando's apart from others in the chain is cocktails! Beer and wine! It's got drinks and what feels like a slightly expanded menu. The door man provides a great touch to this more upscale location and it's just a nice way to add to your time in Towson read more

Had to go back for the ranch peri peri sauce. That stuff is banging. Unfortunately the service was no bueno. They were packed with pick up and to go orders. My wife and I waited at the register for 4 mins to place our order (almost walked out). When we ordered they charged us for 2 sides when we only wanted one, they gave us fries as the 2nd side which we didn't want or order. And again, these fries are room temp and not cooked enough, floppy and soft. Chicken was good as always. Shocked at how good the roasted turmeric cauliflower is! Will return as we love Nando's, but service has been sliding here. read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - South African Near Me - Towson, Maryland

I used to love Nandos, but the service has been greatly lacking for a while. It is almost guaranteed that they will forget at least 1 side or entree if there's more than 2-3 items in an order. I am disappointed that during my most recent visit I had to wait over 40 minutes for chicken wings. 2 couples that ordered after me received their to-go orders before I received mine, and the employee tried to mislead me by saying they had called ahead of time even though I had watched them order after me. The greatest disappointment was when I saw how tiny their wings have become. I used to go to Nandos to receive thick, meaty wings that I felt were deserving of the price Nandos charges, but the wings are minuscule compared to the French fries. They tasted too burnt to taste the sauce and was unworthy of finishing. read more

This Place is The Real Deal!! My 1st Time visiting Nando's in the States and it Did Not Disappoint at all!! I wish I took pictures of the chicken and sides we got but honestly we scarfed it down super fast. Next time I promise. But the Real Winner here is the sauces. Words can't describe how good they are. We got a bottle to go. Try them all and the Extra Extra Hot Black Bottle is The Best!! Even my wife who is good with Hot Sauce but not extreme at all with Heat Agreed and Could Hang.

I was back at Nando's in Towson tonight to pick up some chicken for dinner. This location has a few drawbacks, but I think it's a pretty good option for a fast casual and healthy dinner! The drawbacks? The location is next to the movie theater in Towson, and there isn't a parking lot. There is the garage, and you can park there and then walk through the walkway that takes you to the movie theater or to the restaurants. I'm not sure how long the parking is free though; we got our chicken to go and it took us 21 minutes - so our parking was free. If you're eating there, you might have to pay to park. The second is just that this location can get swamped. But the customer service has been really good both times I've picked up food here. But it might be worthwhile to order ahead and pick up if you're in a hurry. The good? I like their menu and their food! I've gotten the 1/4 chicken and a side each time I've gone (when you order the 1/4 you can choose between leg and breast - but I'm a leg girl for sure). Choose your sauce/spice (I've been happy with medium, but I think I'm upping the spice next time - medium is not very hot) and your side! If you're not into just chicken, they have sandwiches, salads, and more using their chicken! The restaurant itself is pretty big and quite nice - but I've taken mine to go both times. But the food and the service is great - definitely a fast casual place that will stay in our rotation! read more

We ordered takeout from Nando's Peri-Peri today. The order was not ready for at least 10 minutes after the time we were told it would be, but they only put one chip in the bag for the three meals that we ordered. If we had not checked the bag before we left the restaurant, we would've come home minus 2 chips. Also, the picture below shows the size of the thighs that we received. Not sure what size chicken this came off of but it must have been tiny. We love Nando's Peri-Peri but we will never go back again because of this experience. read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - Size of the chicken thigh - South African Near Me - Towson, Maryland

First off the food here is REALLY TASTY. Service is quick and folks are friendly. Portions are minuscule compared to price. My son had two very small skin on Chicken Thighs ( maybe 6oz total) for $11.50 that came with one side, pretty bland Portuguese Rice. Turmeric was the only taste that was present. My Chicken Breast Sandwich at $9.95 couldn't have weighed 5 oz., but was cooked perfectly. My Portuguese Roll was slightly charred. And my fries were good. The Wings were fairly priced and very, very tasty. The barely baked Brownie was kind of on the small side but none the less surprisingly good. Loved the Music, and loved the taste. But feeling like they have raised prices and cut portion sizes with these inflated prices and smaller portions. read more

I. love. Nandos. I originally heard of this place while I was visiting my cousins in London; they claimed that Nando's is a big thing there and I couldn't leave without trying it. In fact, one of them said their version of "cracking open a cold one with the boys" was "Nando's with the lads". So when I heard there was a Nando's chain in the area I had to go. Twice. This is a fast casual restaurant where you order your meal at the front and then it is delivered to your table. This place specializes in Portuguese chicken, but what really makes it special is the SAUCE. The sauces come in different flavors and you can find them near the utensils area. They range in flavors from spicy to non spicy and include things like lemon garlic as well. The sauces are tangy and have a bit of a kick to it, and you won't find flavors like these elsewhere. I take a handful of these bad boys back to the table because why limit yourself to one sauce?? In addition, the chicken is very juicy and well cooked that it almost doesn't need sauce. For sides, I recommend the roasted corn and smashed peas. If you're a little adventurous I'd spring for the chicken liver as it has good flavor and texture. Overall, this place is great for a casual lunch/dinner for a good price! read more

I was skeptical. I had never heard of this place before it appeared in Towson. I had also never had Portuguese food before. Well, I was in for a treat! Wow! Great stuff! The restaurant is like fast-casual, but a little fancier. You are seated by a host, then you order your food at a register and it is brought out to you. They have one of those fancy Coca Cola machines with the thousands of flavor combos, too. The food was magnificent! I got a half-chicken with mango sauce on it, and that was superb. A little bit spicy, a little bit tangy, and a little bit sweet. Perfect! The chicken was so tender inside! It's not hard to see that they truly do marinate their chickens for 24 hours, like their website claims. My girlfriend got a salad with butternut squash in it, and it was HUGE and delicious! For sides, I got fries (with peri-peri mayo) and fire-roasted corn (which is seasonal), both of which were fantastic. Pricewise, we spent about $25 for all of this - two drinks, half of a chicken, a huge salad, some fries, and an ear of corn. Not a bad price. All in all, a great dining experience. read more

This location is not as good as the others IMO. The food is good, but the service is trash. It's super slow and they mess up the orders frequently. It's not a lot to order here. It's Chicken. A few heat levels for your sauce. Sides. And salad. So I've been here twice and both times basically had the same issues. The first time I sat in. My food order was wrong. So they went to remake it. It was a salad. I don't know how you mess that up. My friends food was fine. So after maybe 15 more minutes I got my order which again wasn't right. I asked for dressing on the side and both times it was drenched in ranch or whatever dressing they use. It missed the ingredients shown on the menu. Both times. It wasn't too crowded when we were there but for some reason this still happened. Fast forward to my return. I order to go. It took a little over 20 minutes. No silverware. And low and behold my salad was wrong again. And no sauce was on the other entree that we ordered. Management needs to take some steps from the other location and get the kitchen in order. This seems like basics to me and it's not working. read more

I know they are a chain, but man, am I a sucker for this place. I love the juicy chicken pieces, the different and tasty side items, and the array of sauces to play with. Note that this is not like a regular wings place, the sauces definitely don't taste like your run-of-the-mill buffalo sauce. We like it hot and usually get the white meat combos basted in the Hot and Extra Hot sauces with sides of the delicious Macho Peas, garlic bread and garlic mashed potatoes. The chicken is juicy and messy and delicious with a great charred/smoky flavor. The peas have mint and hint of spice, the garlic bread is soft and you get two pieces to an order; this makes it easy to share and the bread doesn't disintegrate into a crumbly mess when you take a bite. The garlic potatoes are red-skinned and have a nice subtle garlic flavor. I've never dined in (we always get carryout) but the interior is interestingly appointed with cultural items and it is very clean. Service has always been helpful and friendly too. And I am sure that their customers appreciate the clean-up sink in the main room so they don't have to struggle with a restroom door with messy hands! I'm looking at YOU local crab houses! read more
