I have known about Nando's chicken for many years and recall last having it in Vancouver about 20 years ago. What started as a small chain in the West is growing in Ontario. Finally I had to try it out.
And after ordering a half chicken with one side, and paying close to $16, I realized that while the chicken is good, its not that good. There are many Portuguese chicken places that serve the same amount of chicken and similar or better for about half the price.
Although at the same price as Swiss Chalet, I would say Nando's is better. The interior of the place seemed a little tropical/seafood in design, the cost of the chicken must reflect the money put into the interior. Unless you plan to eat in the restaurant, as a take-out service, Mario's BBQ chicken is way better!
