Vick RoyMay 24, 2016Best 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.
Omari AllenFebruary 22, 2016Ask 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.
- Renan OliveiraJanuary 26, 2016Butterfly Chicken is amazing. Try with portuguese rice and peri-chips, of course with perinaise, the best!!!
Alyssa ZhuDecember 20, 2015AMAZING chicken! So tender with such a savory rub. The medium is a great choice to start with. Their aioli and fries are also delicious
Morgan ThomasNovember 11, 2014Get 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.
Greg DronenAugust 1, 2015The food is tasty. Their sauces are the best! Great atmosphere. Sangria was very good
Raluca MunteanuAugust 18, 2017I'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, 2015Flame 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, 2012Out 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, 2013Try the mango lime chicken! So good. Make your own sauces too. Garlic & hot sauce. The Portuguese rice was a good side with it too.
Sam PMarch 6, 2016The veggie wrap is freaking awesome. Love the big portion of fries. "Extra hot" peri peri sauce was not actually that hot.
Paulius DaunorasAugust 10, 2013Wear an "eish" T-shirt. Because chicken tastes so good with hot peri-peri sauce that all you can say. "Eish" that's so good!
Dan LurieFebruary 10, 2013Started 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.
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, 2013The chicken is amazing. The sauce packs quite a punch, so don't push your luck. Medium spice was plenty for me.
Mohammed AlgainJuly 11, 2016Excellent food and very quick servicing although it was very crowded. :-)
Jina KimAugust 12, 2013If 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!
Jimmy AbiFebruary 14, 2013Half chicken with peri-peri fries and mashed potatoes or grilled corn on the cob is to die for
The veggie burger and portobello & halloumi wrap are delicious.
deenuhfoowadNovember 23, 2014the hotter the chicken, the better - especially combined with the bottled Nandi sauces - so good!!
Mashal Shabbir ChaudharyJune 10, 2013Go for the mashed peas. Slightly sweet, spicy and minty. Go very well with hot chicken.
Nikhil MenonJanuary 15, 2014Great food, great music, good ambience. The extra hot is not for the faint hearted. ;)- Try the great sauces with your chicken! The wild herb sauce is great and so is the garlic sauce!
Ask for some peri salt and mix it (1 tbsp) w/ Sprite to enjoy Portuguese Lemonade.
Faheem NasarOctober 18, 2011must try Peri-Peri sauces, all of them, they make the chicken incredibly delicious and satisfying!!- Nessa TMarch 21, 2012Try the Flame-Grilled Butterfly Chicken Breast With Portuguese Roll And Chunky Portuguese Medley
- Put the garlic sauce on everything -- even the peas and fries. Mix it with the garlic herb sauce, too.
Scott WintnerDecember 5, 2012I always forget how small the portions are (let alone for the price), but it's so tasty!!
Asif KhanApril 29, 2011The half chicken is great! With medium peri peri sauce and Portuguese sauce with wild herb sauce.
Lunch: The chicken pita with medium sauce and roasted corn on the cob
Scott WilliamsDecember 31, 2012The seating upstairs is much nicer and more relaxing than downstairs.
red mashed potatoes with 1/4 chicken... get hot if you like spicy is deliciouss!! their wings are also pretty good
Jonathan MurphyApril 6, 2014Great atmosphere and food but the seating is crazy... Hostesses could do better
