Exploring Earls Court, passed Nando's, saw the crowd inside, and thought this might be a place to check out! WOW was I glad I did! This is like no chicken place in US I have tried...HUGE flavor palette of excitement! Loved the sides also, but its the chicken I remember most! Rice was flavorful, and the slaw was fresh and also full of unique flavor and texture. Inspired by African Peri Peri spices if I understand correctly, and when you order the spicy, expect an explosion! All of the sides I saw were very well prepared and presented in a casual street side environment. Seldom would I consider visiting a place more than once on holiday, but Nando's was dinner 2 evenings...and was amazing both times! Has the hole in the wall feel (like many great places in London), very attentive and polite service, and food that you will remember! Check it out!
Worth the hype! I loved the food, when I was in London I wanted some good rice and chicken! A long with some other delicious vibes like the halloumi cheese! Service and ambiance was superb! Ps the sauces are as well. Next time I'm in London I have to double up coming here
Wow! This was much better than I was expecting for a chain restaurant. Me and my family got the family combo, and that one dish fed all 8 of us. The atmosphere was warm, and everything was orange themed. The lighting there was so good that when I took pictures, it looked better than in real life. They had so many sauces, my favorite being the "hot" and "medium with wild herb" sauces. The chicken was juicy and tender with crispy, grilled skin. The servers were also really nice. They smiled and fit the theme perfectly. If they had a Nando's in my hometown, I would take my friends and show them how amazing this little restaurant is. We were very lucky to have one right next to our hotel. I will say though that it might get boring after the first couple of times. But I would definitely recommend Nando's to anyone hungry for good chicken!
Wanting a quick dinner, we came here late one night to try it out. There was a small line, but we were quickly seated and explained to how the restaurant works. Sit at table, order at counter, food is brought to you, get drinks/plates/napkins/silverware yourself. I tried the grilled boneless chicken thighs (2 plain/2 lemon garlic) with the vegetables and salad. The chicken was so juicy and had a lovely flavor and chargrill on it. The vegetables were saucy and delicious. Everything was brought out so quickly as well.
Fast, casual dining known for their chicken and wide variety of Peri-peri sauces. They give you a table and menu upon arrival. When you're ready, order at the counter and they'll bring the food out to your table. Everything else (drinks, cutlery, napkins, extra sauces) are at a self-service counter. I ordered the 1/4 chicken plate with macho peas and cole slaw. The flavor of the chicken was great but the breast meat was on the drier side for my liking. Get the thighs/wings if you like it more moist. Peas just tasted like peas (they were recommended to me, but I say only order them if you know you love peas!).
My girlfriend and I decided to try Nando's randomly for dinner since we saw a few of its locations in London. We had never heard of Nando's before, but after doing some research we realized how globally popular it really was and deservedly so! It was pretty crowded when we visited for dinner because of how busy the area was. There was about a 15 minute wait, but it was worth every second. Once we were informed that a table opened up for us, we were told to order at the cash register and the food would be brought to us. We both ordered their popular Peri Peri chicken with 2 sides, my girlfriend the1/4 and me the 1/2. The bottom line was that this was some of the best roast chicken we had ever had - flavorful, very juicy and leaving us wanting much much more! This quality food definitely did not belong in a fast food restaurant as it tasted so much better! Oh and don't forget the unlimited amount of sauce they allow you to use. There were a variety of flavors that you could use. The sides were also excellent too, as I had the Peri fries and red skin mashed potatoes and my girlfriend had the Portuguese rice and corn on the cob. The fries were like thick cut frites and there was a ton of it on my dish. We're aware that Nando's exists in the states, but we're praying and hoping that they open one up soon near us in New York!
I've been a Nando fan for years. This Afro-Portuguese chain has spread all around the planet because it serves up good and hearty food at a fair price. And their variety of Peri-Peri (Piri Piri) sauces is outstanding. A couple of them add some serious heat to the meal. My favorite is the Lemon and Herb Peri Peri. It totally brought out the flavor of my recent Veggie Cataplana dinner. And the Nando's in the heart of Earl's Court in London is extremely friendly with cheerful staff looking out for you! You cant go wrong at Nando's!
Came in on a Saturday night after getting off a flight from Berlin. It was packed inside, but we were greeted promptly by a cheerful waitress. I explained that it was our first time and she kindly explained how things worked, then we were seated within minutes. You come in, get seated, order at the counter, and the wait staff will bring you the food. You get your own sauces (the whole bottle if you want, or you can pour them out), napkins, drinks, and dinnerware. We didn't want to get too full, so we opted to do half a chicken combo and a burger with the Halloumi appetizer. Everything came out relatively quickly and we had just enough time to get our drinks, utensils and the sauces. Us being spoiled Americans, we were so glad to see ice and unlimited refills on soft drinks! The Fanta was really good. The Halloumi tasted like a water mozzarella cheese, but strangely tasty. The sauce was very sweet and just a tiny bit spicy. The chicken was very flavorful and really didn't need any sauce. It was a bit on the drier side, but I've had worse. The burger was very good, but I only had a bite so it's not fair for me to elaborate more. The green peas on the side were minty indeed, but definitely lacking salt. I ended up putting a ton of salt on it to make it more palatable. Overall, the experience was very pleasant and everyone was friendly. The tables are close to each other, so keep that in mind if you're not comfortable with it. We love spicy food, so we ended up purchasing a bottle of the X sauce to take home (though all sauces were delicious). P.S. We also ordered their wings roulette for take out. I'm not sure if it was just because we can handle spice or if none of them were spicy...but I don't think we got any spicy ones.
We are travellers and this was a new restaurant for us. Great location close to the tube. Staff were very helpful explaining how they operate. Basically you can sit down and look at a menu. Once you're ready to order you go up to the till and order and pay. Then sit and wait for service. It's a mix between fast food and sit down. The food was ok, and the sauces were very good. Portions were a bit smaller than I expected for £21.00, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. We had the boneless chicken with two large sides. Spicy Rice and mashed potatoes. Fairly simple. The place was very busy and that's what made us try it.
Every time I come to London I have to eat at Nando's. I see now that they have many options for a vegan like me. Super tasty as always
That sauce is oh so good! I tried each flavor. Loved them all, my favorite though is the garlic one. I enjoyed my pita and my sister said her sandwich was amazing. Don't sleep on the cider. Cider and good chicken, best combo after a flight and walk around London. Lol I was super delighted to find the sauce at the grocery store when I got home! Now if only I knew how to cook the chicken like them lmbo.
We are here visiting London and in searching for a place to satisfy our hunger. We took the shuttle driver's advice and tried this Portuguese chicken and it was the bomb. Nando's is the name of that restaurant and it's located at 204 Earls Court just steps from our hotel and Earl's Court underground station in South Kensington. The restaurant is small but has a nice ambiance and it gets really busy for dinner. Try the boneless chicken thighs with a couple of sides will surely satisfy your hunger. If you're in for the bones, the whole chicken platter with 2 large sides or 4 small sides will make 2 people happy. The creamy mash and the peas are my personal favorite sides. They made them just perfect. If you like red wine , try the Cara Viva! It's so smooth and will add more flavor for your taste buds. What else? It will set jour mood just right!

Amazing food! Something you just don't get access to often. The Peri-Peri chicken is out of this world good! Different spice levels allow you to truly customize your heat levels. Add some pomegranate sauce and sweeten that spice! Great experience! As always, crying babies rule the universe though....what can do! read more
