My family and I came in for a quick lunch and we had a wonderful meal! I ordered the butterflied whole chicken breast with crispy skin with 2 sides. For my first side, I got the PERi mac which is, a creamy 4-cheese mac topped with PERi breadcrumbs. For my second side, I got PERi honey sweet potatoes which are, roasted sweet potatoes tossed in PERi-spiked honey, topped with feta and pepitas. I was absolutely thrilled with my meal! Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. I had some of my family's garlic bread as well which was fabulous. Inside is really nicely decorated, with lots of open seating. Overall, I would come back here again! read more

See all

The service was friendly. I was greeted right away with a smile. I did a to go order because the restaurant was packed. The Brussel sprouts are amazing with the sauce they put over them . The grilled pineapple was good but it's overpriced. $1.29 for one slice of pineapple is outrageous. The chicken was pretty good. The sauce is a little bland but still tasty. The halloumi cheese was really good as well. The inside is nice and open and can seat a lot of people. I can't comment on it too much a I've never dined in before. read more

How do you actually find smaller chickens than KFC haha. Server was good food was mediocre and not filling.

We loved the spice of the food and the extra sauces available to add more flavour. When we walked in Friday 4pm the place was empty. My husband ordered quarter chicken and said very moist and tasty. The up charged sweet potato fries was much smaller portion than anticipated- less than one cup in the serving. My rainbow salad chicken bowl was not as pictured. It was a chicken breast but only half of what's seen on the photo. When I spoke to the staff I was dismissed. There was no acknowledgment of my comments. Might try another location but not this one. read more

Always great. Good portion sizes, great assortment of sauces! Mango is by far a Personal favourite, it tastes great when it's used as the marinade but ordered on the side the consistency changes. Give Botha. Try read more

I've heard so many good things about Nando's in Toronto that it quite disappointing experience in Hamilton. The prices were a little more expensive than expected. You have to order first and then sit at your table. There are sauces ranging from mild to suicide on the back corner alongside with your cutlery. Most noticeably: the quarter chicken was very salty as were the fries. The portions were okay to be full but I was soo thirsty afterwards from ingesting so much sodium. Everything was basically spiced up and became too overwhelming when eating. Plus: The washrooms are clean and the staff is very attentive to when tables leave and remove dirty plates right away. I honestly prefer Swiss Chalet and I am not a huge fan of SC. read more

I have been to this restaurant many times so I have been trying hard to find a healthy comprimise that wont be too spicy for me. When we first arrived tonight waited 10 mins before even being approached. When I placed my order I stated at more than two times that I can't have anything spicy or I will be ill. I ordered the chicken plain. They now have brussle sprouts as a side option so I ordered those. How spicy can they possibly be? Boy was I wrong. When they arrived I had 3 pieces and my mouth was on fire. They fried it than covered them in chili flakes. I went back to front and explained that I told the girl who took my order that I couldn't have anything spicy so I wanted a new order of sprouts without any spices. I was told that wasn't an option. I paid $82 for my family meal and couldn't even enjoy it. I now lie in bed having so much stomach pains. I will never go back! read more

Wasn't too impressed with food and price ....and service is a bit confusing. I have to wait to be seated first, then have to get up and go back to the counter to place my order and pay. A tip is asked for at this point. I then get my own drink/forks etc. at the pop center. They deliver the food then ask at the end if I want coffee or dessert. Weird service set up. Chicken breast was ok but not the crispy Portuguese style. A crispy wing would have been nice. Coleslaw was great. read more

We decided to try this place on the spur of the moment and weren't disappointed. It takes some getting used to being seated with menus and then having to go to the cash to order and pay. However, that is not unique and we have encountered that way of doing things before. I ordered the double skewer (medium) plus Macho Peas and Rice and I picked up the hot peri-peri sauce. The chicken skewers were quite small but very tasty. The sides were both tasty and sufficient quantity (about 1 cup each). My wife ordered the chicken leg & thigh with fries and corn on the cob. She liked it all and could barely finish. A nice touch is the ultra high-tech drink machine which has a huge variety of drinks. The side bar with a large selection of sauces and condiments was also good. We are definitely coming back to try some of their other dishes. Only negative: it is a bit noisy due to the poor acoustics. read more

Chicken was very moist and tasty. Portions are a decent size. Had the mashed potatoes and they are delicious.

Very disappointed. The staff were very welcoming and it was very clean but the quality and quantity of food was poor. It is very expensive for the portions. I would not eat here again or recommend it. read more

Love this place! Food is always well cooked. Service is excellent and the staff are always very pleasant.

Went there with my husband and daughter for Father's Day. It was our first time dining there. We waited to be seated and no one explained to us that we had to go back to the cash to order our food. After about 20 min of sitting there and no one coming to take our order I called the gentleman that seated us (the manager) and asked if someone would take our order. He at that point said "oh sorry I should have explained that you need to go up to the cash to place your order and then food will be brought to you" I went up and placed my order. We ordered 2 double leg meals and an order of sliders to start and went back to my table. We waited about half hour and our dinner came but no appetizers ever arrived. I inquired about the appetizers and they were unaware that I even placed an order for some. The girl then brought me the appetizers AFTER I had already gotten my dinner and one of our sliders was missing. I explained to her at that point that I no longer wanted them as I didn't need an appetizer anymore seeing as my dinner arrived. I asked her if I could be refunded and she was unsure. I then spoke to someone else who seemed a bit frustrated at the fact that I didn't want them and she was also unsure if they could be removed off my bill. I then asked to speak to the manager again and he apologized and removed them off the bill and also took the sliders back. He offered us 2 free quarter chicken meals for next time. The food was tasty. Chicken was moist and had lots of flavour however the e chicken legs were quite small. Normally I can only eat one chicken and I ate both I would go back cause the food was tasty but I wasn't at all impressed with the service. I will also add that there was a family there hat ordered before me who still hadn't gotten their food by the time I was done and leaving. read more

Great lunch experience! Nandos is a chain restaurant well known in the UK where I am from, so to see one now located in Hamilton was very exciting. We got there and were very quickly welcomed by staff and seated at a table of our choosing. The concept on Nandos is different from your usual restaurant where you are normally served by a waiter, in Nandos it is self service. Basically the waiter explains the menu and how to order, you take your time and go up to order at the counter at your own pace. You collect your condiments from the station at the back and then you take your seat and wait for your yummy food to come to your table. The food all arrived very quickly and tasted delicious. My only small issue is my husbands food arrived without the mild sauce requested and my chilli jam on the side was missing. Fortunately the mild sauce my husband wanted is also at the condiments table so he just added it himself and I never realised my chilli jam was missing until after leaving and reviewing my receipt. But the service was excellent, all of the staff we spoke to were extremely friendly and helpful and the price was reasonable. I had heard before people felt the portions were small but for me basing my experience on past visits to Nandos in the UK the portions matched up just fine to what I expected. I feel it is a bit of a culture difference than what people expect from restaurants usually here in Canada, but for me Nandos was a very welcome reminder of home. I was very very happy with my experience and hope that Nandos catches on and this location does well. If we had just been able to sample the chilli jam and the mild sauce had come as ordered I would have happily rated 5 stars. We look forward to eating here again in the future. read more
