| - Nando's is an Afro-Portuguese restaurant specializing in various dishes mostly grill chicken oriented. The chicken and rice dishes are characterized by lemon, spices and Peri-Peri. Peri-Peri is African Birdseye Chili and has a sweet distinctive flavour, definitely goes hand in hand w/ lemon and garlic.
Overall I feel the food is overpriced for what you get. I do enjoy some meals at Nando's, yet some meals remain under par. At times the chicken is way overcooked, rendering thee meat dry and burnt. Other times the chicken is cooked well, but there's barely any meat on the bone, especially with their wings. The portions and quality of food is inconsistent, questionable for the price you pay.
I do really enjoy the Peri-Peri seasoned chips (fries), they are always a staple for me if I eat chez Nando's. Other sides include spiced rice, baked potatoes, coleslaw and corn. Whenever ordering my meal I always use a fair amount of Nando's house sauces such as the hot Peri-Peri and Garlic sauce.
I couldn't see myself going out of my way to eat at Nando's, but it is a decent restaurant with good service. A big plus for them is they have a well crafted and interactive website. It provides you with a solid history of the franchise, as well as recipes to their dishes! I find that to be so rare these days. If you're interested in hitting this joint ;) find a place near you.
