Nando's Peri-Peri - 3 Chicken Breast with sweet potato side - Portuguese Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Absolute shambles, brought food out wrong and at different times. Didnt bring my starter then argued that we'd had it when we hadn't to then proceed to say they'd ran out of what we ordered, uncooperative when trying to refund it, manager was rude, waitress was helpful. Very poor. read more

This place is always a must stop when in the area. Great food selection, yum seasonal beverages, clean dining area, and great service. This place has been a food court gem. They are certainly one of hubby and I favs. They have sandwiches, wraps, charbroiled chicken, amazing sides, etc. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - 4/20/2025 Today's lunch !! - Portuguese Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Representing 2024 in alphabet series, N is for Nando's. I had been to the Nando's Arundel Mills location a few times prior to 2024 and a few times with my girlfriend in 2024 & 2025. Food is great like the other locations. Every time I go to this location, their scanner doesn't work to get the points. So, they tell me to scan the receipt, which is a hassle, and you have to remember to do that. I had some issue relating to rewards and spoke with the manager, who was nice. I believe it was using my birthday deal, and she tried with the scanner to no avail. She gave me the meal on the house, which was unexpected. That day in winter 2024, this Nando's was my favorite and would've gotten 5-stars. Last time my girlfriend & I were here was on 12/9/25. To be fair, I didn't want to overeat, and getting 1/2 chicken with 2 sides can be a weight gain for me, and my weight was inflated in general in December 2025 due to the holidays. We went for a somewhat early dinner around 5:30 as we had an advanced movie screening at Egyptian Cinemark. I got the 1/4 chicken white with Brussel sprouts (which is always $2 upcharge) and Peri-Peri chips (Nando's fancy way of saying fries). I wish I took a pic of the December 9, 2025 chicken here, but I went only 9 days later to the Laurel location on 12/18 as I had points expiring and needed to use points relatively soon before they went away, and there was a decent amount of meat on the 1/4 chicken as I did sent a pic to my girlfriend from the Laurel location. The chicken at Hanover maybe had about 1/2 the amount of meat as it should have, which the Laurel location was about right and was the right amount of chicken per 1/4 piece in my picture from March 2024 attached of this location then. I was complaining to my girlfriend about this nonsense some of our time here; put me in a worse mood. Also, the Brussel sprouts were in a smaller container, and I'm paying an extra $2 upcharge to get a smaller container. The normal amount of fries, which isn't a ton of fries. I told my g/f I hate to say it, I'm still kind of hungry and kept mentioning possibly going to Yogurt Mountain. I certainly wasn't going to reward Nando's with being more food or dessert there. We ended up going to Yogurt Mountain, which was delicious, but I didn't really want to supplement my lacking meal with sugary dessert when weight was already up in December, not to mention extra cost. The same nice manager who was helpful in early 2024 came around to see how our meals were. I like when managers check on the customers. Instead of my response of great or good, I gave a more of a lackluster response of aah ok. Before I had any chance to elaborate, she quickly walked away. She was going to other tables to see how other tables were doing, so while good she was checking on the other customers, but I was frustrated as I was going to say more. We didn't bother talking to the manager afterward as we didn't have that much time, and remember we were unexpectedly going to Yogurt Mountain to supplement before going to our movie. Ultimately, Laurel was better, and I'll remember just go to Laurel location or maybe elsewhere other than Hanover from now on. read more

Went here on the way to the airport. It is in a shopping center so the whole area was a great way to spend time before my flight. My husband and I decided to eat at Peri-Peri for lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was casual. The dining area was clean and nicely decorated. To order, you can either order at the register, or through the app. Servers would serve the food and handle clean up. I liked the sides I ordered: mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. My husband ordered fries and Portuguese rice which was good too. I also liked the medium sauce with garlic and the peri peri ranch. The Portuguese tart and the chicken was average. read more

On our way out of Baltimore, I was like oh Nando's! I haven't had Nando's since the Philippines. I had to stop here before leaving. It was not quite like I remembered it. The chicken was flavorful, but not as well marinated as I had before. The rice was dry and hard. I liked the garlic bread and mashed potatoes. The egg tart was so-so, it wasn't crisp and the filling felt fake. The front host guy was nice with a dope mustache. read more

Horrible management. I placed a Door Dash order in advance at 9:30am for delivery between 12-12:20 as my lunch is at 12:30. I waited until 12:50 and sent a message to my Dasher who stated he was waiting for my food and it was not ready. I called the restaurant and asked to speak to a manager who told me they gave my order to a Dasher 15 minutes prior and there was nobody there for pickup. I told her the Dasher was sending me pictures of the area he was standing in so I couldn't understand how that could be. She tried to say that he was probably at the wrong location even though the pictures I got clearly showed the signs said Arundel Mills. Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve the issue I was pretty much blown off and told to contact Door Dash. Being a diabetic I need to eat at regular intervals and because of this delay I nearly had a medical emergency. Thankfully I had someone in my office who was kind enough to give me some of her food to prevent my hypoglycemia from becoming severe. read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - Dining room - Portuguese Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Since I was in the area, I have always wanted to check out nandos. I liked how this one was in the shopping mall food court. My family and I decided to get the half chicken with a side of the rice and the garlic bread. The rice was alright but the garlic bread was absolutely delicious! It was crunchy yet soft so the texture was amazing and the amount of garlic on there was the right amount. We went with medium spicy on the chicken but I wish I got it a little spicier. The chicken was cooked perfectly as it was still very juicy! I also enjoyed the sauces they had available to pair with it. Overall, it was pretty good and I enjoyed how filling it was! read more

Great Nando's location! Service is great and quick. The half chicken family meal is always the way to go if going with 2-3 people.

Walking into the establishment I was shocked with how clean the restaurant was. We were greeted, and helped by Lilly. She sat us in the outside patio where she gave us great hospitality! Walking us through the restaurant menu, recommendations, and fan favorites. Super friendly and professional! Heading our way to the counter we were embraced with a big warm smile and greetings by Fatima! Taking down our order is one thing but making us laugh and feel welcomed is a whole other experience. We ordered the Wings and they've came out as an appetizer with proper ticket time. Tasted like it was made with tons of love from the kitchen. Not to forget our entrees and the check up from manager Sonia! Great place great food. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDING EVERYONE TO COME TO THIS RESTAURANT. 11/10. read more

An interesting set-up, both a sit-down restaurant and a fast-food counter, when I entered, I had to pick out a table and receive an assigned number, then go up to the counter to place my order which would then be brought to my table even if to-go. This slowed down ordering out service, since I had to wait for a table waiter to be free to bring my food once done- Using a promotional gift card for free 1/2 chicken & one side, I ordered spicy hot & brussel sprouts, then while waiting grabbed a variety of other sauces to go- The chicken was a hearty portion, cooked just right with charred outside, tender juicy inside, just enough sauce and the brussel sprouts were also a hearty portion; splitting the one meal between my husband and I we each had a fair amount to eat, with some leftover chicken-the sauces were really a highlight of the meal- While yummy, at the prices- just ordering just chicken & needing to add on all the sides- they wouldn't replace our go-to comparable eats, but a yummy free meal read more

This review is based on my experience at Nandos.We were in town for the weekend. After convincing my husband to eat at Nando's we waited in line. It was Saturday night so I expect some level of waiting. I dont know if people had called ahead or requested pick up but some were seated before we were. After my husband's complaints, we were then seated. We were told normally" booths are for bigger parties" but because of the wait they would accomadate. Go figure.We were also told one of the oven's had broken down. Wings were ok but whole chicken would be 40 minutes.We were also offered out door seating with heaters. LOL. After being seated (inside)we ordered from the table. No one visited the table during this time.For almost 40 minutes we sat waiting for the order. Again my husband voiced frustrations with the entire flow of the restaraunt.We watched over and over again folks comming in for pick up,etc. Not one item from our order made it to the table. WE finally get the manager who at first could not find the order. After locating(Food) in a restaraunt.. Our order was brought to the table. We were told our order appeared to be take out. Well that explains it... Here is why that did not explain it.. Most take out moved faster than orders inside. We watched folks who walked in picked up orders by name and left. Twent to twentyfive minutes tops. We sat adjacent to orders being picked up(full view). Not one person called my name for a pickup order! Lastly, I spent $50.00 for as follows: Half chicken (2) sides portugese rice 9 wings with mash and cucumber salad mac and cheese & Peri sauce garlic bread What the manager brought over was everything except: Mash & Peri sauce, silverware requested but not recieved. I fished out silverware on my own whilst one of the greeters restocked. I fished out napkins as well to atleast wipe my hands from eating the peri sauce. Starvng and frustrated by the time the food arrived I did not care that it was warm I didnt bother with the mention of items missing I figured what was done was done. Peri Chicken and rice were a plus as well as mac and cheese. Really all I can review based on not receiving the rest. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50-100 read more

1/2 chicken hot with fries perimayo - 8/10 Mild chicken bowl with fries - 8/10 Every time i come to nandos, i get the half chicken and it does the job! Between all the spice levels, i think hot has the most flavor and really levels up the chicken. If you ever get fries, make sure to try the perimayo! Wow that stuff tastes good with both chicken and fries! There are two ways to order, by going up to the front desk or online! Which is great for larger groups! The seating area is nicely themed and there is an area to wash your hands once you get down and dirty! Would we come again? Yes!! read more

Amazing food, not too expensive, usually quick service. This place is addictively good.

We were in town and decided to visit here, my husband is in love with this place, but I've never had it before. The food was flavorful but pricey. I personally do not think it's worth the price, but my husband does. The manager came up to us as well and made sure everything was great, so I thought that was nice. They have a ton of sauces to choose from. The actual restaurant itself could have been a little cleaner, but it wasn't horrible. read more

While on a weekend getaway to DC we stop @ the Arundel Mall and happened to stumble upon this gem right here. I say stumble bc as we walked thru the mall I was more interested in escaping the never ending crowds that I only approached Nando's because it presented a private sanctuary away from the bustling herds of people. To my surprise it was more then just a sanctuary... it's delight on a bone! Portuguese and South African cuisine meets chicken! I found it extra intriguing because those two countries also provide the origin of my last name but I guess I have to do Ancestry or 23 & Me for more info on that. Back to the Flame Grilled Chicken it was simply spectacular and for as long as I've been eating chicken prepared many ways by some very skilled individuals, Nando's PERi PERi is @ the top of the list. Juicy, flavorfully seasoned and tender it was damn near amazing and the pis de resistance for me was the varieties of hot sauces to further enhance the flavors. We ordered one of the Sharing Plates which was the Full Platter for 2-3 ppl @ $27.99. It consists of a whole chicken and 2 large sides. The sides chosen were Portuguese Rice (house-made with turmeric and peppers) along with Flamed-Grilled Corn on the Cob. The sides were great but to be large, they were fairly small especially if you are sharing the platter with 3. In fact even thou the platter is said to serve 2-3 people if you choose corn as a side it only comes with 2 ears and are required to order an additional one ($2.89) if you have 3ppl planning to share. In addition to the food they offer some pretty good thirst quenchers, like the SPIKED Blood Orange & Mango Lemonade ($6.29) and the Pineapple Lemonade ($3.39). I look forward to returning when ever I happened to stumble upon another location. As there seems to be multiple locations in the DMV area I can now make sure it happens when I return. Just A Note: The hot sauces are available for purchase as well and you will want to have some in your pantry @ home. read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - PERi PERi Chicken Bowl - Portuguese Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Mall joint has fresh chicken and the fixings. Rice, brussel sprouts, corn, etc. The chicken was cooked nicely with a decent layer of skin but not too fatty. I had a side of Brussels sprouts, which tasted fine. The big catch was the selection of sauces. Usually I like sauces, but I get they were a bit bland. Still, the meal was healthy but a bit pricey. If you need a healthy meal and you're at the mall, this is a solid option. read more

Nando's Peri-Peri - 1/2 chicken and Brussels sprouts. - Portuguese Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I am a huge fan of Nando's Peri Peri chicken. It's a globally very well known restaurant. This used to be our go to place in Bangalore. So when I came to Towson I was so excited to see Nando's here and I have had their delicious hot chicken countless times. This one at Arundel Mills Mall is really good. Love their ambiance and service. I ordered 1/2 hot chicken and 1/2 lemon & herb chicken with peri fries and salad. I love their chicken especially because they don't have loose layer of grilled skin that falls apart as soon as you start to eat. The chicken is very well grilled with smoky texture to it. Hot chicken is my favorite. It has a nice juicy flavor with a pinch of hotness. Extremely tender as the chicken falls off the bone. The marinade went all the way through the meat and with every bite you can taste their delicious flavors. They have various options to choose from. Pricing is equally competitive to other grilled chicken restaurants. I spent around $17 for 1/2 chicken with two sides. Definitely check out their different sauces. I have garlic, lemon & herb and hot sauce. They go well with almost everything. Like sandwich, burgers, wings, scrambled eggs and deviled eggs. read more

I ordered the PERi Chicken Pita option and paid extra for avocados while my wife ordered the PERi Chicken Rainbow Bowl. The avocado was not ripe at all and very hard, obvious for anyone who had to cut through it in order to serve it in my pita/on my wife's bowl. It was VERY CLEAR that whoever prepared our food had NOT ONE CLUE what a ripe avocado looks/feels likes. The service is also non-existent, once you order your food you dont see any staff again unless you make another purchase. Might as well call it a sit down drive through option if all they are going to do is hand you your food and never come back. Its like if they tried to mirror the ordering style of Buffalo Wild Wings without incorporating the service, PPV, and alcohol. YES, i know they serve alcohol, but their "spiked lemonade" was terrible. Worst dining experience with no attempt at service, not worth returning. read more

First time diner at this establishment inside the Arundel Mills food court. They were observant of the Covid precautions with staff/pick-ups wearing masks at all times, and diners until seated. Social distancing was enforced between takeout and dine-in patrons with sanitizing liquid available for use. The interior has takeout, pick-up and dine-in options. The ambiance I feel is casual/friendly meet up, or relaxed date nothing too serious. I enjoyed the Portuguese music that played which reminded me of afro-soca melodies. Who wants to be served Portuguese food and hear Doja Cat over a top 40's station? (Sorry but not sorry Doja fans) The menu was simplistic yet cool. A picture which made me feel if I was in their country right now this is how it would look. Easy to navigate menu. The only thing I disliked is that EVERYONE had to give their order at the register but they brought the food out to you? So one person from our group took all 4 orders. There wasn't a host/ess to recommend, greet, or explain the food for a first time patron like myself. I ordered the peri peri 1/2 chicken, Portuguese rice, and garlic bread. Never had a Portuguese beer before so tried the Superbock. The food and drinks came out fairly quick. Not a beer drinker but the Superbock had a rich smooth taste that was ok. The 1/2 Chicken was two 1/4 legs thigh with everything attached. So I had 3 choices at this point rip it apart with my teeth or hands like an extra at a celebration dinner on Game of Thrones or attempt to cut it with a plastic knife. Which do you think I chose? (Insert Jeopardy tune) What is struggled with a plastic knife for $100 Alex. That is correct. (R.I.P. Alex Trebeck) Anyways the chicken was juicy inside but despite the grilled sear marks the chicken skin wasn't crispy enough for me and had a soft baked like texture. The rice was ok flavorful and the garlic bread was crispy and soft. All in all kool place to take out or dine-in even during Covid. The prices are good and worth the portions given. If I'm in the mall I won't walk past like I usually did especially since their the only spot in the mall that sells alchohol. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Plus the food is tasty. read more

This location is similar to all the other ones I've been to regarding the set up. I recall seeing outdoor seating available on the patio. They also have a hand washing basin nearby the utensils to wash your hands which I appreciate and hand wipes. I was impressed at how quickly our food came out since we were told it would take 12 mins. After we placed our order and paid at the counter, we got our drinks, sauce, and utensils. A minute or two after we sat down our food was ready. I ordered the Plainish quarter leg with a side of mashed potatoes. I tried several sauces and preferred the chicken eaten plain. The chicken was moist and flavorful on its own. The skin was so crispy. I always save the skin to eat last, as that's the best part of the chicken. The mashed potatoes were average. My husband's fries were average, not very crispy but came out warm. When I went to use the restroom after dinner, it took me a minute to figure out how to turn on the faucet due to the unique handles which looked like pipe handle valves. read more
