    Blimey! These Nandos chickens have been doing a good impression of rabbits and have been breeding…read morelike mad. Over 70 Nandos restaurants are listed on Yelp in and around the London area alone. The chain has blossomed thanks to a simple formula and fixed menu with easy cooking, limited staff service required and pitching itself as slightly more upmarket than regular fast food joints but keeping prices relatively low for a meal out. The main attraction is the chicken, which is offered at 4 'heat settings', ranging from no heat at all lemon and herb all the way to 'don't be stupid'. Being from Malaysia, I am used to chilli heat in my food and even the 2 chilli setting was making my eyes water. I have a new respect for the Portugese ability to eat hot food after visiting Nandos and getting a flavour of their peri peri sauce here. There are a few starters on the menu. Main courses are built around the chicken - pieces, burgers, liver with a choice of sides, that are generally filling but nothing special. The sweetcorn is disappointing and often undercooked to point of being unpleasant to chew through. The desserts look pre-made at a central site. You grab a table, note the number of the table and order at the till. The food then delivered to the table. Cutlery, serviettes and sauces are all self-service as are the soda drinks if you opt for those. I'm only awarding 3 stars as I find the chicken pieces not very generous in size, the sides and desserts being disappointing and the fact that my feet usually take me to the KFC nearby instead.

Nestled in a bustling area, the restaurant's ambiance is warm and welcoming, characterized by its casual yet stylish decor. The interior is a blend of rustic wood, bright murals, and quirky light fixtures, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for both casual lunches and fun dinner outings. The food is undeniably the star of the show. Known for their flame-grilled peri-peri chicken, the menu offers a variety of spice levels ranging from mild to extra hot, catering to all palates. The chicken is juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, perfectly marinated in Nando's famous peri-peri sauce. The restaurant also offers an impressive range of sides, including the much-loved peri-peri fries, creamy coleslaw, and garlic bread. For those looking for something different, the menu features a selection of burgers, pitas, and wraps, all of which maintain the high standard of taste and quality. Vegetarians and vegans are not left out either, with options like the Beanie Burger and the Supergreen Burger, both of which are hearty and delicious. The addition of bottomless soft drinks and the self-serve sauce station enhances the overall dining experience, allowing guests to customize their meals to their liking. My favorite dish to order is the Chicken Butterfly, which is delicious and has a bold, tasty kick. The entrée includes two butterflied chicken breast filets that are flame-grilled to perfection. The chicken is marinated in Nando's unique peri-peri sauce and is full of smokey, spicy, and tangy tastes. You may personalize the heat level to your preference, from moderate to extremely hot.The meal comes with your choice of two sides,I prefer to serve it alongside hot rice and grilled vegetables. Service at Nando's Hounslow is friendly and efficient, with staff members who are always ready to help and ensure a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, Nando's Peri-Peri in Hounslow provides a satisfying and flavorful meal in a lively and enjoyable setting. It's a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy bold, spicy flavors in a relaxed and cheerful environment.

    As I was in the famous 'Korea-town' of New Malden tonight, I decided to continue my education in…read moreKorean food. After looking at the windows of several Korean restaurants on Burlington Road, I settled on Me You as having the best local reviews up in the window. The atmosphere was like a local family restaurant with no rush to turn tables over. Although the waitresses didn't speak good English, I was eventually able to get the advice I was seeking on the food. It helped that the menu had a picture of every dish available. I was also impressed that the waitress taking my order gently suggested that 3 dishes might be too much for even a greedy pig like me! And she was right as the portions were big. I started with the Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake). This was lovely - crispy on the outside with small bits of seafood and spring onion. I also had a bowl of seafood with noodles in a spicy soup - I think it was called koppongi. I was startled to find not just a mussel in its shell but also whelks still in their shell in the soup - proves that the seafood was fresh and not frozen! The soup was spicy enough to wake up the tastebuds I'm starting to get a feel for Korean food after a few visits to Korean restaurants. Their food philosophy is the opposite to the Japanese, which rely on few flavours and ingredients but each flavour is distinct and obvious. On the other hand, Korean food is a whole melange of everything thrown together - meat, seafood, vegetables, flavourings. Even bibimbap, which is served with all the ingredients in separate piles in the bowl, must be all mixed together and coalesced before you tuck in. I enjoyed my visit here and have spotted a few dishes I would like to return and try.

    BACKGROUND - I'm from the States, more specifically the west coast aka home to the best Korean…read morerestaurants. Since moving to London, I had been having great difficulty finding authentic Asian cuisines (Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, etc.). After being let down at Jee Cee Neh on the same block, I decided to give You Me a try, given the favourable reviews. PROS - Very comfortable, intimate and inviting space. Greeted warmly when we stepped in and immediately had a table cleaned up for us. The menu had pictures for EACH item, making the process of deciding which item to get extremely hard because well shit, I wanted everything. My date and I finally narrowed it down to an order of the large dumplings, spicy black bean sauce with noodles and the oxtail soup. We were blown away. The "large dumplings" weren't really "dumplings" per se, but actually hot fluffy buns filled with a generous amount of yummy pork and veggie filling, served with an equally yummy (soy sauce/vinegar/hint of red pepper) dipping sauce. It was such a good deal as well for those suckers. For about £6, you get 6 large hot and fluffy buns. That alone could be a meal but that was filed under "appetizers" in their menu. The spicy black bean noodles was done perfectly, I don't know what else to say about that except the noodles were fresh and the sauce was just so freaking good. The oxtail soup was not bland, but just a sip of it will let you know they have stewed it for a long time. The soup was no instant bouillon type of nonsense. It was the real deal. The soup was served with complimentary Korean rice. Another HUGE PRO - Complimentary refills on your BAN CHAN. That's right, not only did we get more banchan (the side dishes they serve you to refresh your palate) here than at Jee Cee Neh, they immediately restocked our banchan, free of charge when we ran out. How awesome is that? That alone would make me come back to try their dishes but will everything going to fabulously, I would be crazy NOT to go back. CONS - Absolutely none. I was so pleased with the quick service, the amazing food for great prices, and the portions (above average!). Shoot, even the bathrooms were really clean. Everything was so great. POINTERS - You Me kicks Jee Cee Neh's hind quarters out of the bush ..........yup. Pictures to come!
