1/4 Chicken Leg
Onedia J.

Chicken was undercooked. It's apparent that the cooks do not know how to manage the grill.

Diana G.

Food was really good! I got chicken thighs and fries, LIFE changing the chicken was juicy and fries crispy. Love the self service options, super simple and easy to use. Not the mention the cool vibe of the restaurant decoration!

Half 1/2 Chicken with Brussel sprouts and fries
Torkorche F.

Love Nando's! Highly recommend chicken thigh skewers my favorite on the menu! You can choose what sauce/spice level lemon herb is a good one start with if you have never been and not spicy they also have additional sauces on the counter you can try after you get your food! The rice is tasty. The service was ok here the manager came around and asked everyone how was the food and if we needed anything but didn't really care for the person taking out order.

Rainbow bowl
Xeniya B.

I have been visiting this location many times at this point and it's always a great experience. Last time we stopped by on Sunday for lunch. Not too crowded, the staff is very friendly. I see many new items have been added to the menu and this time I had a rainbow bowl. Definitely a great choice but I couldn't finish the whole portion, it was a little too big for me. I liked golden cauliflower a little too. It was delicious. I'm only sad to see chicken livers are no longer on the menu. That was my favorite!

PERi Chicken Rainbow Bowl
Jackelyn M.

We love Nando's. Their food is realllly good & comes out pretty quickly. We always order their chicken platters, but I decided to change it up with the rainbow bowl and it was so good. It fills you up in a good way!! If you like spicy food, Nando's is a great place to try. If you want to eat in, they do self service where you scan a QR code and order online, but you can order upfront, if you would like. I love that you can do either.

Large table at the beginning of the restaurant. I tried to not get any faces. The place has a good crowd.

Very clean place and friendly staff. They have someone stationed at the door for questions or other needs. The food is hot and delicious. I only got the medium hot wings.

TL;DR: Recommended. Wonderful chicken dishes. Would repeat. **Ambiance** Modern look with wooden tables and chairs. Clean floor space. The large windows of this place adds an element of openness to this place. **Service** Both ambiance and service are utilirian. Staff is couteous, but they are not trying to win you over. Ater checking-in we we shown to our tables. You have to order and pay for your food using a phone app and then they bring the food to your table. That's the only option. So if the app is not working, you are out of luck. It took us three tries to order our food because my amex card would flag the payment by their app as fraud. And it is for a genuine reason. Their card processing is done somewhere in NYC and so my amex would see that my location is in VA and my card is being charged at NYC and flagged it as fraud. I had to use a different card with less stringent verification to order food. Everntually, it worked. **Food** Food was absolutely delicious. They specialize in chicken and that's what we ordered (see pics). All the food was served hot and fresh, and the chicken were juicy and flavorful. **Overall** It was a good experience, and I would definitely repeat it. Recommended. c

boneless chicken thighs, good flavor
Thuy V.

We were in town and needed a place to eat for our family. We've been to Nando's a while ago and now they use ordering from phone which is fine for us. Someone did seat us and let us know how it works. I shared my chicken thighs (boneless) with the kids and chose a milder sauce - mango and lime and I loved the flavor, although they were small and a tad spicy (the kids could handle it but I think some kids might find it too spicy). Hubby had wings at he hottest level. The flavor was ok but i thought the meat was a little dry. The restaurant was clean and had a festive/colorful decor. There were only two bathrooms that had a line at times.

Lemon herb chicken
Nou Nou S.

A coworker and I arrived for lunch and we were immediately greeted at the counter by Jessica. She was very helpful in making our selection at ease. They served variety of chicken in fiend of bowls, platters, sandwiches, wings and salad. For sandwiches, you are given a choice of either white or dark chicken which I thought was a cool preference and your choice of flavor chicken. It comes with a variety of sides (of your choice) and a drink. I order the medium dark chicken sandwich with seasoned fries. The chicken was so juicy and tender. You have choices of fountain drinks or homemade drinks behind the counter with flavors such as pineapple lemonade or blood orange mango lemonade. I order the blood orange mango lemonade and it didn't disappoint. My coworker order the lemon herb chicken with their mac and cheese. Their mac was creamy and delicious. The restaurant was clean, filled with interior decor and very spacious. We will definitely make a future visit.

Nando chicken. Not the same as back home

Finally got an opportunity to dine here. Ive had the food catered before and this time I was able…read moreto try in house. The establishment itself is quite dated. The awning outside needs refurbishment and inside furniture is not updated. It's dark inside, almost like a night club. Perhaps it is sometimes. I did not like the decor, it was a little run down and honestly did not match up to the prices. The service was also disappointing. I felt that staff lacked a bit of professionalism and they rarely checked on us. The plates are huge. That is a plus. My partner ordered the goat and I tried the red snapper. I think one plate is big enough to share. I like the spinach, but everything needed a bit of salt. While the red snapper was coated in a lovely tomato and red pepper gravy, I felt it made the crispyness of the fried fish disappear and it was kind of soggy. Maybe you can ask for the gravy on the side. The food is not bad, but given the physical establishment and the service I wouldn't return.

I ordered the "Mother Land" cocktail--it was very strong but still sweet and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service was a big letdown. Our server wasn't attentive, barely checked on us, and put our order in incorrectly. I ended up waiting a long time for my partner's food, and by the time it arrived, mine was cold. The space itself is super cute, I loved the afrobeats music and the overall vibe is great. While the food was good, I just wish the service had matched it for a better overall experience.

It's only about a five minute drive away, so the location worked out great. This was everyone's first time trying Kenyan food and we were all blown away. The flavors were rich, comforting, and beautifully balanced. We ordered several appetizers to share and then entrees including the salmon, oxtail, goat, and snapper. Everything at the table was delicious. Our server Diamond was wonderful. She was warm, helpful, and really guided us through the menu since we were new to the cuisine. Her service made the experience even better. Such a great introduction to Kenyan food and a really fun group dinner. We will absolutely be coming back.

Started with a Margarita cocktail which was $16.00 and terrible. Low grade tequila and store bought margarita sour mix. Service was very slow and one of the mangers was drinking and having a long conversation with the bartender. We decided to try the Jollof Rice and Suya bites. The rice was very bland. The Suya had some flavor but seemed to be missing something. I decided to take the leftovers home but unfortunately the Suya bites got very hard overnight so were not enjoyable the next day. Since eating out is pricey you may want to choose a different restaurant to try.

THIRD TIMES THE CHARM!…read more This is my second time dining at Lydia's on H (third visit). My first time was Valentine's Day, and the restaurant, while calm, was chaotic, AKA the full menu was not available. The second attempt to dine there, the staff member (whose name I forgot, please charge it to my head and not my heart!) informed us before we sat down that the evening service was a limited menu. To entice us to return and ensure consistent customer-centric service, the bar manager invited us to return on the first night and asked the staff to inform us when we arrived. Sure enough, the next day, when we arrived, there was a note for the staff informing them that they should be expecting us. The vibe in Lydia's is always chill! The music is always good and at a volume where you and others can still enjoy each other's company with conversation if desired. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance at this establishment should be the standard for many others. Well done, Lydia's. We are excited to come back and try the steak-and-cheese egg rolls next time.

Food looks better than it tastes...just hear me out!…read more We decided to close out Black History Month by supporting a Black-owned establishment, very intentional, very on brand for us. It was also my first time trying Malawian cuisine, so I was genuinely excited to experience something different. I went with a group of friends after an event, which worked out perfectly because we were able to taste a little bit of everything. I ordered the Brussels sprouts as my starter; they were good, nicely seasoned. My only issue? Timing. They didn't come out first. Everyone else had their food, and my "starter" came right before my entrée, which kind of defeated the purpose. For my main, I had the shrimp and salmon rasta pasta. It was good...creamy, flavorful, but definitely spicy. Not unbearable, just be prepared if heat isn't your thing. My mocktail was refreshing and good too... just small. A couple real sips and it was gone. Overall, the service was good. They were accommodating and made sure our group was seated comfortably, even moving tables around so we had a better setup. I appreciated that. The ambiance was very Black eclectic: cool R&B vibes, nice energy, a solid spot to gather and vibe. Checl out my pics! I'll be rating each dish I tried on a 10 point scale. Would I return? Probably not. It wasn't bad; it just didn't wow me. And in the DMV, there are way too many other spots on my list to try.

I absolutely love this store! *Insert Big Hearts* I saw this store when I came into the mall for…read moreother purposes. I decided to go in and check it out. It was worth it. 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.
