Best chicken and sauce I have ever put to my mouth. I really wish they had this on the West Coast. It's so good, I'm salivating just thinking about it. Nandos will always have a place in my heart.

Huge portions and tasty dishes. I like every single item on the menu. Also the staff are really friendly and cute here! 😅 I also like their wide range of soft drinks.

Ask for a bottle of the Peri-Peri drizzle for your chips. It's not listed as a separate item in the States like in the UK locations.

Come for the chicken. Stay for the tunes. Return for the peri-peri.
Alyssa ZhuDecember 20, 2015
AMAZING chicken! So tender with such a savory rub. The medium is a great choice to start with. Their aioli and fries are also delicious
Renan OliveiraJanuary 26, 2016
Butterfly Chicken is amazing. Try with portuguese rice and peri-chips, of course with perinaise, the best!!!
Greg DronenAugust 1, 2015
The food is tasty. Their sauces are the best! Great atmosphere. Sangria was very good
Morgan ThomasNovember 11, 2014
Get the chicken (why else are you here?). This is best for a low key dinner. Inexpensive with a simple menu. But stick to the chicken and get two sides, simple is best here.
Raluca MunteanuAugust 18, 2017
I'll just say this: half a chicken-medium spicy, garlic bread, coleslaw and green salad with chicken thighs. Perfect lunch for two. Thank me later!
Peter RJanuary 9, 2015
Flame grilled chicken breast is great (the spicer the better) but plan on a pretty long wait if you go there at lunch during the week
K TSeptember 20, 2012
Out of the sauces garlic and medium spicy are best. Sides are all starches, pass over the fries & get the garlic bread which is more a portguese roll sliced thin with garlicky goodness.
Cassie PJune 17, 2013
Try the mango lime chicken! So good. Make your own sauces too. Garlic & hot sauce. The Portuguese rice was a good side with it too.
Andrew DobneyAugust 13, 2017
Chicken is great! Make sure to grab some extra sauce.
Sam PMarch 6, 2016
The veggie wrap is freaking awesome. Love the big portion of fries. "Extra hot" peri peri sauce was not actually that hot.
Kirill KukuruzaNovember 8, 2015
Very delicious Portuguese cuisine. Try Nandi's classics.
Dmytro KostiuchenkoJune 23, 2017
Great place to drink tasty sangria on a hot summer day
Dan LurieFebruary 10, 2013
Started in South Africa, this chain serves up mouth-watering Portuguese-style roast chicken with a spicy African kick. When they say hot, they mean it.
Paulius DaunorasAugust 10, 2013
Wear an "eish" T-shirt. Because chicken tastes so good with hot peri-peri sauce that all you can say. "Eish" that's so good!

Don't be a jerk and hog a bottle of sauce at your table. Put it in a cup so the sauce stand doesn't run out of the most popular opinions (i.e. medium).
Geoffroy BablonJune 18, 2013
The chicken is amazing. The sauce packs quite a punch, so don't push your luck. Medium spice was plenty for me.
Mohammed AlgainJuly 11, 2016
Excellent food and very quick servicing although it was very crowded. :-)

Half chicken with peri-peri fries and mashed potatoes or grilled corn on the cob is to die for
Jina KimAugust 12, 2013
If you expect big chunk chicken pieces, you might get surprised by thier small portion. Seriously I can eat 10 wings by myself. Never let you down with taste though!

The veggie burger and portobello & halloumi wrap are delicious.
deenuhfoowadNovember 23, 2014
the hotter the chicken, the better - especially combined with the bottled Nandi sauces - so good!!
Jason LeibowitzAugust 25, 2012
They have the best ice. The peri peri chicken is pretty amazing too.
Mashal Shabbir ChaudharyJune 10, 2013
Go for the mashed peas. Slightly sweet, spicy and minty. Go very well with hot chicken.

Try the great sauces with your chicken! The wild herb sauce is great and so is the garlic sauce!

Hummus and pita, roasted chicken, fries.

The chicken breast sandwich is a good lighter lunch option.

Ask for some peri salt and mix it (1 tbsp) w/ Sprite to enjoy Portuguese Lemonade.
Faheem NasarOctober 18, 2011
must try Peri-Peri sauces, all of them, they make the chicken incredibly delicious and satisfying!!

Put the garlic sauce on everything -- even the peas and fries. Mix it with the garlic herb sauce, too.

Jumbo Chicken Platter!

I always forget how small the portions are (let alone for the price), but it's so tasty!!
