A Nando's at a motorway services? To many, that might seem like a crazy thought, but that just goes…read moreto show how modern, innovative and forward-thinking Extra actually is, to have brands such as Nando's, it is one of the few Nando's locations to actually be inside a service station, being located in Extra on Skelton Lake. Unlike other outlets nearby, they don't charge more for the location which is a credit to Nando's ethos as a brand as I often feel frustrated at the pricing of food at motorway services, a visit to Starbucks across the way or the nearby Texaco garage will make you realise how rare this is. The staff seemed pretty friendly and the indoor area was a little small, but still had enough room considering the large communal seating area outside. It felt pretty modern inside. This store has been closed for quite a long time due to COVID-19 restrictions limiting travel, but they did re-open in April, despite visiting not long after the re-opening, the staff did seem friendly and happy to be back, which was nice to see. I do think based on the location it would be nice if they adapted their menu similar to what they've done at London Gatwick, which is the only Nando's in the country to have a breakfast menu, I think that could do really well here based on the location and a lack of similar offerings within Extra Skelton Lake. My food quality was fine, I did find the chips tasted re-heated, they weren't hot and were slightly soggy so it was disappointing, again I do find the takeaway packaging to be poor quality and messy, but this is common at all Nando's locations. The chicken always seems to be good here though! 3*

Forever, I've seen the one Portuguese listing, and forever I've ignored it -- I didn't believe it'd be true Portuguese. Spoiler alert: I was right. It really isn't. However, this isn't to say it's awful. The 'Portuguese' part of this place is that they serve spicy, charcoal-grilled chicken. A half portion costs £4.70 and it's a sizeable bit of bird. You can get the whole one for under seven quid, if you're inclined. I chose medium heat and this was fine. The chicken was well cooked and the chips are your basic take away fries. What's annoying about this place is that they don't specialise. They've gone out on a limb and decided to offer something no where else in Leeds does, but they don't do it mind-blowingly. I could barely call it authentic, although I've not been to Portugal. They also serve a ton of other cuisine on the menu -- lasagne, curry, etc -- so it's sort of a jack-of-all affair. I did however make the whole thing worth it by ordering a bubblegum milkshake -- it's bright blue and it's sugar-tastic. I definitely like that! In summary: it's fine. I wouldn't say it blew my mind.

I am a huge fan. While traveling throughout England we ate Nando's whenever we stumbled onto one…read more The staff at every restaurant we visited were fantastic. The one in Leeds was a stand out. We were talking about how much we loved the Nando's seasoning. The manager overheard us and came over with a huge handful of packets for us to bring home. Who does that?? THANKS. We had giant plate of tasty wings. The butterflied chicken was delish too. Great fries. Which we covered with the salt. LOL.

A pretty average Nando's location, it is located in Leeds city centre towards the end of Briggate,…read moreit is over two floors, the majority of the seating is on the higher level, with a lift/stairs between them, they do have a couple of tables as you go into the restaurant, which I do prefer. I ordered my usual Medium Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips and Spicy Rice, my food was fine, it was consistent with the usual Nando's standard, I did, however, have an issue with the temperature of my rice, it was served to me cold, it did take longer than I would have liked to get a replacement as I was told "They had to make it again from scratch", luckily it was only one of two side orders, meaning I didn't really have to wait for it while the rest of my food was going cold. Service again was OK, the staff did what was expected of them. 3* - Average food and service, pretty much your typical Nando's. Not terrible, nothing too exceptional either.

This Nando's is like any other really, except for the fact that it's smaller and busier than all…read morethe others I have been to. Nando's became a bit of a craze a few years ago, and I've been part of that - I probably go every few months or so, and I do love it dearly. There is plenty to love after all - the casualness, the refillable drinks, the refreshing lack of waitering service, and of course the expertly marinated and grilled chicken. This Nando's, being in Kirkstall's forever busy entertainment park, should really be bigger, however, as it attracts hoardes of people every night of the week. If you go on a weekend, expect a half hour wait and your food to take another half hour to come. If you really fancy a Nando's, I'd recommend the one in town - they're just better equipped to cope with a rush there.

I know Nando's is a chain, and I know in general that's not great, but the good thing about Nando's…read moreis that it's REALLY TASTY. And it's not too expensive either (I am dead tight). My friend took me to Nando's in The Light and I've been converted ever since. I was initially a bit scared by the whole 'ordering at a counter like in Maccies but then going to sit down and oh my god will they bring me my food what happens with the drinks aaaaaah' thing, but now I know what I'm doing it's not so bad. This particular Nando's is nice. The decor's the same as in all the rest, but there are high ceilings, and there's plenty of room too, so even when it's busy it doesn't feel jam packed like the one in The Light. The service is a little on the slow side, particularly if you're getting a take-out, but I don't mind becuse of the tasty chickeny goodness that's on its way to my tummy omnomnom. Ooh and the olives are super yummy.

So, Jctn 27 has had a revamp and is moving with the times to bring new eateries to the masses…read more I'm well glad that Nandos has a new sparkly purpose built base to bring its delicious chicken products to Birstall. Over the years, I've found the choice of food outlets quite limiting here so it's quite refreshing to get a Nandos. I think it might now be open nearly a year but I only managed to get there for my 1st visit 2 weeks ago. The restaurant echos the Nandos theme with the dark wood tables, booths and dodgy plants. The perky staff give you a warm greeting and if possible offer you anywhere you like to sit. i usually like to sit by the kitchen to watch them at work. The experience begins with conquering the huge menu- chicken in nearly every form possible, vege patties/burgers, salads and for the ultimate carnivore- a steak roll! The ordering has to be done at the counter to specify the product, the spicy level, the accompaniment and the drink. Many combinations are possible and you could visit many times before they'd be exhausted! The food is delivered to the table but you have to help yourself to cutlery, extra plates, unlimited drinks and the famous sauces. Don't be fooled by the 'wild herb' sauce- it's more lethal that the XXL hot. The concept is very good, it's fast food which is also quite civilised but you just can't help picking the chicken up and getting it all over the face (that's my technique anyway!) The only complaint i have about this chain is they're usually quite slow in cleaning the tables and I also on this visit saw a server pick up some cutlery off the floor and put it in the cutlery bucket where customers help themself. I know when you help yourself to sauce/cutlery/plates there will be some element of not being very clean but overall- its a good place to eat. Oh, and they offer a loyalty card to ultimately get a full chicken- for free!!!!!!!

I think they would do very well in the US, excellent cooked to order chicken, delicious sides of coleslaw, salad and of course, peri peri chips are a must try. I find the mild sauces are very palatable for those with a less than strong constitution, however, upon further testing of the hot sauces, they are not going to kill you and are incredibly flavor full, but be weary if you don't usually eat hot stuff. Tried the wings this time and loved them. Love this place, maybe i'll open one in Boston......
