My family has always been fans of Nando's Chicken so we were excited to give Galito's a try to see how they measure up.
Service was very friendly going in and ordering and were helpful since it was our first time (thanks Anne!).
When we sat at our table though, we couldn't help comparing the decor and style to Nando's. The wait time for our food was much longer too and Galitos wasn't exactly busy so we weren't quite sure what the hold up was.
When we were first brought our food it was the wrong order.
When we actually got our food, one of the side dishes orders was wrong (we ordered regular fries, we were given peri peri).
I ordered a leg. I honestly hoped it would be a comparable size to Nando's legs but they are indeed smaller. It was a little dry as well.
In terms of flavor, I have to say they went crazy with the salt. Nando's has always been on the salty side for me but Galitos kicked up the salt a whole other notch. After every bite I was grabbing my water bottle for a drink. The flavor was alright, nothing particularly special but it was slightly different from Nando's.
One person in our party was vegetarian, she ordered the vegie burger with the roasted peri peri vegetables. The burger was even saltier than the chicken and the vegetables were luke warm and completely raw. She couldn't finish her meal or side it because it was unbelievable inedible.
Overall I was a little disappointed with this experience. Other than the very pleasant staff, the food was less than mediocre. I'd suggest going to Nando's.
