I don't work that far from here and it's a nice change from the typical salad that I usually. Never have issues and like the consistency.

Chicken Breast Sandwich
Nick N.

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had lately. Take a look at the picture and tell me that doesn't look incredible. The Mac and cheese was also great, but the chicken sandwich with the nando's sauce was phenomenal. I would love to come back and try more of the menu.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Decent, tasty food and a nice atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a convenient spot for a quick lunch. However, one odd thing about this place is the seating process - you have to wait for someone to seat you. While you order from the menu yourself and grab your own drink, the staff only brings the food to your table. It left me wondering, are we supposed to tip for that? Additionally, I noticed they recently increased their prices by $2 per dish, which I found a bit frustrating. Overall, it's a decent option, and with other places nearby, I'll likely come back and give it another try.

Rainbow Bowl Garlic Sticks Bottle Sauce Lemon Herb

We arrived late in the evening, a few friends recommended this place while we were visiting. I ordered the Rainbow Bowl and it was amazing!! I also added a side of the mac and cheese and garlic sticks. I used the Lemon Herb sauce as well which added so much flavor to the dish. The food itself is amazing. The only downside is the staff. The one staff member that greeted us, it was his very first day. And it seemed like the other wait staff was also newer. Which isn't a bad thing just need to have a little patience while they are still learning their role.

Was late getting into town so wanted something fairly quick. They had lots of options. Landed on the chicken (surprise) and rice. It was quite good and came out quickly. Great flavor and yes - moist. Service was pleasant. Ordered from my table. Drink was delivered promptly followed shortly by food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was late so restaurant was quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But it was clean and enjoyed the food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

So glad I got to spend some quality time today with my baby girl, Mackenzie. We decided to stop at Nando's--and let me tell you, we ate GOOD! I tried their new sandwich, the CLT (not a typo y'all, it's chicken, lettuce, and tomato), and it was chef's kiss. Flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. If you haven't had it yet--go get it. You won't be disappointed!

Eating good and the Portuguese x South African cuisine. Made in love with, taste in greatness

The food is so tasty. The delivery was a little unappealing but I'll take it for how good their chicken is. Recommend going there vs ordering on Uber eats. The size of the portions is small for the price but the quality of the food is very good and ALMOST makes up for it. You come here for the chicken because that's what they do best and everything is okay. CAVA overall has better bowls but the chicken here is unmatched

Stopped by this location on a rainy day, the interior is modern, cozy and lights are dimmed low. We tried the chicken skewers and a few different sides and the chicken was tender, and rice was flavorful! The chef checked on us once food was out.

First time trying Nandos after walking past it so many times the last few months. The regret of not trying it sooner sunk in after my first bite. I got the chicken breast bowl with the lemon herb. The bowl comes with a hefty serving of rice. Peppers. Arugula and hummus. Sauces: you can take as many to go containers as you want or grab the bottles and take them to the table. I added more lemon herb to mine and also dabbled with medium sauces: garlic and a spicy herb. All of the sauces are A+ The staff here are the nicest most helpful people ever. 6 different employees said hello and checked in to see if we needed anything in the few mins I was there waiting for my order. Everyone was smiling and super cherry. Seems like a great place to work! I'll be back to try more. The sandwiches look excellent.

Full Chicken Platter
Linda Y.

I've always walked by this place and was curious about the food. We received a coupon for a free full platter during a game at Randolph Fest so we decided to stop by for a weeknight dinner. Upon arrival, I was pretty amazed with the space! You can order to go or sit and dine-in. We were greeted by a staff member a minute after arriving - they walked us through the process since it was our first time in. We were able to choose a table and I believe you can order via QR code at your table but we ordered up front after reviewing the menu. There is also an outdoor space in the back of the restaurant! Food came out quick and they supplied us with plates. With the full platter, you get a whole chicken and 2 sides which we did the brussels sprouts and the portuguese rice. For our chicken, we did half medium and half mango & lime. I couldn't really taste the sauce on the chicken, but they had extra sauces available at the condiment booth. If your spice tolerance is high, the xtra hot sauce won't amaze you as it is pretty mild. The variety of sauces were great but nothing stood out to me. The portuguese rice was seasoned well but not my cup of tea and the brussels sprouts were subpar. The chicken was super moist and juicy but other than that, it was just ok to me!

Spicy chicken wrap.... very tasty with the wonderful bell peppers. That sauce tho? Oh my....
Phil P.

Consistently good food with great ambience. L service is lacking in some situations. The food ordering process is confusing a lil and slow when you order from your table. Other than that, I love this spot....good eats. I ordered the spicy wrap with fries and peri dip.. that's ridiculously good. My friend ordered the chicken breast sandwich.

Chicken thighs
Sam K.

Being from TX where we currently don't have a Nando's as of 2023, I was excited to try the "real deal". I decided to stick with the classics... peri peri chicken thighs. I will say I was slightly underwhelmed by the flavor of the chicken. I have tried a few Nandos copycats (Peri Peri Factory and Port of Peri Peri) and both had much tastier and juicier chicken. Even the rice that came with the meal as a side wasn't very impressive. I was slightly disappointed since I thought Nando's would be the holy grail of these chicken places (and was a bit more pricey too!) I was intrigued by some of the other menu options, and would be willing to venture outside of the norm to try the next time I'm in town. Service took quite some time on a Friday, but the seats very comfortable and overall decor and ambiance of the restaurant on point. Flavor: 3.5/5 Price: 3/5 Value: 3.5/5

What is the wait time for a table (small group) around lunch time on a week day?

Hey Maeve! Generally, there isn't a wait for a table. We don't take reservations, but we do our best to accommodate groups. I hope this helps!

Plain and simple - I love Nando's! This was quite literally my first stop after arriving in…read moreChicago. This was my first time having to wait, and we waited so the time suggested then some. But once seated we were able to order at the table and the food came out quickly despite being so busy. Just as flavorful as any time I've been before. My favorite aspect but far is getting to try all of the sauces before committing to a bottle at the store! The restaurant is busy, loud and crowded but if you can manage that you're good to go.

I'm not really sure what the allure is. We waited over 15 minutes to be sat when there were…read moremultiple free tables, and the food took quite a while to show up. I also hate the QR code ordering/walk over to a station to order system. If you are going to be fast casual, either have me walk to a station to order when I walk in and then have me pick up the food from the counter/bring it to my table, or if I am waiting 15 minutes to be seated (while just hovering on the stairs - they don't even have a proper lobby to wait) then seat me and have table service with waitstaff. Also, the staff was aloof, clumsy, and not very personable. The ambiance is dull and nothing to brag about. The chicken sandwich had maybe 2-3 ounces of chicken on it - it didn't even fill half the bun. For $10 a sandwich, there should be more chicken. It was edible, but I won't be returning.

Unfortunately for us, there isn't one within 1/2 hour of us, so going to Nando's is either for special occasions or if we're in the area anyway. It was the latter for this visit. We went at an off-hour so there was only one other table with people there. The manager waited on us - he was really great to work with. We knew what we wanted but he pointed out some other things on the menu and discussed the drink options (there are so many). I had the 1/2 chicken and cole slaw. It was too large for me to eat all of it on this visit, but I think it was smaller than the last time we were there. I think their prices are the same which must mean with the inflation we've experienced recently, they may be cutting portion size rather than raising their prices. I ordered it medium hot, which in the past had been plenty hot for me. I don't think they put a lot of sauce on it - it was a little bland. But they have all of their variety of sauces out and available for you to take back to your table. I tried both the medium and hot (they have extra and extra-extra hot...). I didn't really taste much difference between them. My meal was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home with me.

Even though there is music playing, we can still talk and socialize without having to raise our voice. The ambience is very quaint! Perfect for a date night, or just hanging out. The food was extremely flavorful and definitely worth a revisit. There is very minimal service. The host seats you, you order your food using a QR code, and then someone brings you your food. That is the extent of the service.

PETITION FOR NANDO'S TO OPEN AN LA LOCATION!!!…read more it's been over a month since i first tried nando's during my chicago trip & i'm still dreaming about it. Went here Saturday morning after the boat tour that's a couple minutes walk away! Immediately was impressed with how clean + nice the dining room was. Spacious & I liked how attentive the staff was with cleaning tables. We ordered family style chicken meal w/ 2 sides of choice (we opted for rice & fries) for a group of 4 & it was more than enough for all of us for lunch. I was really impressed with the variety of sauces they had. I'm a big sauce girl & need it for all my meals, & i loved how flavorful + tangy all the sauces were!! LOVE that there were spicy sauce options too. I didn't have any expectations coming in for the chicken. I know chicken tends to be on the dry side at restaurants but this place proved me sooo wrong. The juiciest, most flavorful chicken i've ever had! It was seasoned very well + cooked the right amount. i appreciated how often the staff checked up on us as well to ask how our meal was & if we needed anything else.

Waiting years to finally see if Nando's is worth the hype I can truly say that the taste is amazing but wings that small should not be sold at the price point this restaurant demands.

Gotta say, love the chicken. It's nice and tender with good seasoning on it and a great char flavor on the chicken itself. It also goes great with any of the sauces that you choose and it's great that you can choose which heat and flavor you want. The mashed potatoes were solidly good, and the mac n cheese had good flavor, albeit a bit too watery. The halloumi is super squeaky haha, glad I got to try it. The food was super tasty and freshly made and they even gave me a little coupon for the next time I'm around there which was really sweet. The ambience of the place is really cool too, really open space and they had these cool hatchet chairs near the front that are super interesting to sit in, so I obviously had to haha. Overall, great food, excellent customer service and good vibes! I will be back! :3
