Nando's was pretty hyped up to me as a Swiss Chalet competitor so I had to compare apples to apples...or...chicken to chicken rather. (Disclaimer: I know it's not exactly the same since at Nando's you go up to a counter to order and it is more of a fast food joint).
I ordered the quarter chicken leg (lemon and herb seasoning) with peri fries as the side. My food was delivered to my table pretty quickly. The food looked okay but more on the fast food side of things (presentation lacking a bit) versus what you'd get from a proper sit-down restaurant. First bite - chicken seemed a little dry and the flavour was there but not super exciting. I definitely recommend adding some more peri sauce to help the chicken along. The sauce was in bottles up front and you can grab it and bring it back to your table. The fries seemed very basic. They didn't seem that much better than frozen fries you would bake at home. The spice was sprinkled on top but wasn't really embedded in the fry.
I have heard rave reviews about Nando's. This occasion seemed a little underwhelming. I'm thinking it might have been the location or perhaps just an off day.
