    Food here is simply amazing. The chicken is grilled to perfection with a lot of flavor. Each bite is phenomenal. I will say I think the chicken could be bigger. They're kind of small smaller pieces of chicken, but they at the end of the day. We really enjoyed it. The sides are good as well. The mac & cheese is different, but it's really good. The same could be said for the sweet potatoes, different but very good. The naughty Nana dessert was really good as well. All the food here was top-notch and I will continue to come to this location for a long time. The manager Ashley is top-notch! Great customer service! There was a bit of confusion on our order from the waitress and actually took care of everything like that professional that she is! We will definitely come back to her location ASAP! Ashley is doing a great job at this location. She's very personable and friendly. We sat our outdoor, which was really nice. Coming back soon.

    I stopped by for a quick lunch, and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by a very sweet lady who directed me to the takeout counter. From the young gentleman who took my order to the manager who stepped in to help, everyone was kind, helpful, and attentive. I didn't wait long at all from the moment I ordered to when my food was ready, and it was still hot and fresh. I'll take that! And as always, the olives are my absolute favorite part of any dish. They are sooo good. Pricey, yes... but definitely worth it. I didn't get a picture of my actual food because it didn't make it to the photo stage (if you know, you know ), but I did manage to capture the ambiance. I love the theme and design of this location. One thing about Nando's, every location has its own unique vibe. This one is filled with plants, colors, and beautiful lighting, and I love that. It's truly a gorgeous restaurant. I'll definitely be back.

    I LOVE visiting Nando's and trying there South African delicious chicken dishes. I got there, Perry Perry, chicken sandwich and the half chicken with mac & cheese, rice and fries. The flavor of the chicken was fantastic. The mac & cheese was made to perfection, the South African style rice was such a perfect touch to the whole meal. I was also very impressed by the well seasoned crispy fries that we tried. My favorite sauce is the lemon herb and what I love to do is mix that with the extra hot to get a nice lemon/herb/spicy taste going. The ambience is very upbeat with catchy South African music playing in the background. Service was also great. I love coming here and encourage everyone to try them.

    Jumbo chicken platter - 2 whole chicken
    Patrick L.

    It has been a while since we have been back. What a turnaround! Staff were friendly and helpful. Food remains is still as good. We ordered the jumbo chicken platter ( 2 whole chicken) plus sides of Portuguese rice, French fries, Brussel sprouts and Mac & cheese. The chicken was grill to perfection. Has the grilled taste on the outside and juicy on the inside. The grilled corn on the cob were sweet and did not have to put butter on it. We had to wait for the chicken as they ran out. It was nice of them to let us know and gave us a couple of free appetizers (garlic sticks & Halloumi sticks). Halloumi stickers were delicious! Restaurant is nicely decorated. Semi-dim lighting. Pretty sure it's bright during the day as they have big clear windows. We will be back again now that they are much friendlier.

    I'm a big fan of Nando's and have visited this location multiple times. Normally, the food is consistently flavorful and satisfying. Unfortunately, my experience this past Saturday didn't live up to the usual standards. I ordered the medium Thigh & Mighty chicken sandwich--while the chicken itself was tender, the sauce and overall flavor were lacking. I'd rate it a 6/10, when it's usually an easy 8 or higher. My partner had the Nandoca's Choice sandwich along with the wings, and both were dry and surprisingly bland. A disappointing 4/10 :( I'm still a loyal Nando's fan, but this visit left us underwhelmed. I really hope the quality isn't starting to slip as time goes on. Fingers crossed it was just an off day.

    I get the hype now. I've always seen Nando's in passing, but never really thought to stop by until now! I'm honestly a chicken breast hater, so I always order chicken thigh. The chicken thigh is juicy and the sauces are so good. The lemon herb is my favorite! If you like cheese, try the halloumi sticks with chili jam. Such a great combo. The mac and cheese here isn't heavy at all, which is how I prefer it to be.

    Chicken wrap with Mango & Lime sauce (too mild for me) and a side of African Rice (too starchy for me)
    Lou C.

    I came to Nando's Peri Peri Chicken a couple of times already. Both times were with my friends from the Toastmasters club after the meetings. Of course, we came near their closing time. We often get people disappointed by few menu items ran out. That's usual for these specially made grill chicken. Food here was great and service was decent. My first time, I ordered a wrap with the rice. I didn't like the rice because it was not to my standard. I grew up eating rice. I wouldn't cook rice halfway and add seasonings. I tried to use the online ordering method to get my food. First time it took forever and it failed to process. My second time here, I prayed really hard and it went through. I ordered the chicken livers. Man, that was so tasty. I believe they used the same seasoning for the grilled chicken. Every time I eat here, I always promise myself to order the grilled chicken next time. I kept forgetting. Yeah. I will try them next time.

    Mango & Lime Chicken Skewers, Mac & Cheese
    Patrick Z.

    I thought this meal was pretty good. Got the Chicken Skewers, Mango & Lime flavor, and they were juicy and had good flavor. The mac and cheese was nice!

    Peach Lemonade Cocktail

    Oh Nandos! I was introduced to this chain while living in Reading, England. This place was my go to restaurant for flavor! The typical England diet is very bland. So, when I saw that they opened one right in Texas!! I was astonished. I know they were slowly bringing them to different parts of the United States. This is my fourth time so far, I love the cleanliness, the decor, and option to order at your table. This time I ordered at my table which I found was convenient. The service was great and the staff were attentive. I came during lunch so it was a busy crowd. They have ample parking and seating inside and outside. I typically order the corn, and mashed potato and the wings. The cocktail was pretty good, and complimented my meal. I see they have added some additional side dishes and upon my return I plan on trying them. I love Nandos, they are my go to also in the airport:).

    My friend suggested this place before our MFK perfume event in the Galleria. She and her fiancé love ordering chicken here. I've seen Yelp elite events here but had never been. The restaurant shares parking to various stores and other restaurants in a shopping center. It was a nice weather day, so we sat outside in the patio area. There's a table number you can text for ordering, and someone brings out the food to you. I ordered the limited spring special strawberry rose lemonade. It was sweet and tart as expected. Not sure I tasted much of the rose flavor but still good. I ordered the 3 chicken thighs (medium heat) with two sides - Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. I thought the presentation was nice with the little flag showing the heat level on the grilled chicken thighs. Each side had its own container. Brussels sprouts were good. The mac and cheese was ok. The cheese sauce was a little runny and not very cheesy. I was a little disappointed with the chicken thighs. The grill taste was overpowering with that charcoal or burnt flavor. The chicken was also kind of dry which shouldn't be because it's dark meat. I expected a little more juicy flavor. The Peri Peri sauces come in a variety. I had the hot and garlic flavor. The sauces are too Tabasco-like for me, so I didn't care much for them. My friend had ordered fries which were seasoned and tasted better. I should've ordered that instead of the mac and cheese. We added an extra side of halloumi cheese which is expensive for 2 small pieces. Service was friendly. Patio area is nice on a cool day. It was nice to try but probably won't return.

    Kids Lemon Herb Thigh and Leg
    Leah W.

    This was my first time ever trying Nando's and I was pleased! I ordered a Kids Leg and Thigh Combo with a Side of Portuguese Rice. It came with a brownie. I also ordered some garlic bread. The chicken was soooo delicious. I chose the Lemon Herb sauce for mine and it was so good. The chicken was juicy, tender and seasoned all the way through and the grill flavor was amazing!! I did not care for the rice as it was dry and the amount was soo small even for a kid but i'd try the french fries next if I order again. The garlic bread was sooo good! It was buttery and the garlic was all throughout each bite. The bread was super soft too so that's a plus! Surprisingly the triple chocolate brownie was good too lol. I wasn't expecting much from it but if you like a fudgy dark chocolate type brownie then you'll like it!! Overall, I loved the aesthetic inside of the restaurant. It was very homely and represented South Africa! I also liked how they are very generous with the peri peri sauce options. There are different heat levels and you can try as many of each one as you want! If it's one thing i'd recommend here is the chicken because I will definitely be coming back for it!

    Delicious chicken with two sides
    Annie A.

    Nando's is an International food chain, and the last time I had it in Malaysia I enjoyed it very much. Luckily, they opened two locations in Houston, so I have to have it. Let's start with service first, which has been the first impression of any business. The host was polite and gave us the choice of seating, which was very nice of him. One good thing about this place is that half of the food is self-served, including ordering from your table. Alternatively, you can go to the front area and order food. Here are our favorite dishes, and we would love to go back again and again. Highly recommended

    Andrea K.

    Plenty of free parking available. Not crowded on a Saturday night. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cool and modern. At this location, you use a QR code to order and pay, and the staff will bring your food out. Water, sauces, and everything else is self service but easy to figure out. I took off one star just because some of the glasses at the water station were not clean and had streaks on them. The flavors of the chicken were amazing, and the meat was tender and juicy. The portion sizes were generous as well so this location is up there compared to other locations I've tried. Will be back!

I tried to give the restaurant a chance to make things right by calling them. Instead of addressing my concerns, I was told they were busy and to call back in a few hours. That was frustrating, especially after spending $40 on a meal and an appetizer. Overall, the small portions, poor quality steak, incorrect order, and lack of immediate customer service made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

A few small changes that I have noticed since their opening: they no longer offer lunch portions/specials and sadly the Rainbow Bowls no longer come with turmeric cauliflower Oddly, as many times that I have visited, I am either the only one there or at most, 1 of 3 people max. Hopefully it's just the early afternoon time of day I always seem to stop in because I would really like this place to stick around. And as much as I enjoy a good rewards program, their scanner has never worked once since initially joining so I have to manually input my receipt barcode into the app. Not a big deal but I haven't redeemed any rewards yet either so hopefully that will be a smooth process. And if I may end on a suggestion, Please lower the music by 2 levels. I have to put my noise canceling AirPods in every time because it's just a tad too loud and distracting to hold a convo.

    I'm from San Antonio. That matters because I'm a bit of a taco snob. When my Houston friends invite…read moreme to eat Mexican food I always have questions! This place is phenomenal. Mostly because they have a fresh product (homemade tortillas matter) and they have figured out how to fuse Indian and Polynesian with Tex Mex. Walter gave great service! He suggested I try both salsas. My favorite was the oregano but there is also a cilantro mint. We ate outdoors. The ambiance was awesome. Come and enjoy! They need more morning business. Let's keep Da Gama going! For where your tortilla is, there your heart will be also.

    Upon walking in it looked like a casual modern upscale restaurant. The restaraunt is a fusion…read morebetween Portuguese and Indian. The service was kinda slow. I tried the bullet naan which had cilantro and serrrano garlic ghee. I also tried the Mums chicken curry. The curry was mildly spicy. It had potato's, chicken, and spices in it. However, it didn't taste like traditional Indian curry. BEEF MISHKAKI was what got them the big gourmand and it was my favorite. The beef was tender. The sauce carrot raita was a nice combination that gave the dish a refreshing Taste. The yuca fries tasted like it had a zesty flavor of lime on the outside. The texture of the yuca fries were thick, soft,and fluffy on the inside. After I went outside and ordered from their cafe to try their pastel de nata which is a Portuguese dessert. It wasn't the best. The cinnamon overpowered the desert and was a bit too mushy for me.

    Got to go on a Sunday Funday with some of of our young adults Bible group to this Ethiopian…read moreRestaurant near Chinatown. I've been wanting to try it and so we had a few folks that joined! We were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was very big and we saw a lot of local Ethiopians so I knew it was going to be authentic and yummy! I think they had a problem with the AC and had large fans all around and when we sat, the owner was so sweet and moved a fan near us so it was still comfortable. The photos didn't do the food justice because the spices made each dish so different and delightful! I got the lemon eggplant hummus with homemade pita and I wish I had a bucket of it because it was DIVINE! We got a menagerie of food; chicken beef, veggie but they also serve goat and lamb. I loved the beef (Awaze Tibs)- so tender, tasty and flavorful. It was served with salad, rice and their bread called Enjera. I spoke to the owner, Suzzani, and she educated me on how it is made... it's kind of like their version of sourdough. They let it ferment 3 days and it's like a very spongey flat bread that it rolled up. It was not like anything I had before... a little tangy/sour (but in a good way) due to fermentation. Anyway, they serve a big portion for the price so most of us had food to go. They accommodate big parties and have a stage too. She said business has been light so I hope yall take a trip here and try this wonderful place!

    As an Ethiopian food place, the food is pretty average but it is pretty well decorated inside. The…read morerestaurant is also a hookah lounge per the menu. Food - the flavors are great and as expected (however the injera wasn't that fresh). Got the meat and veggie platter, the best parts were the veggie parts, the meat tibs were decent except the chicken (it was just too dry) Ambiance - cute casual well decorated inside yet would appreciate better air flow Service - can be slow especially if there are other customers as they cook fresh as they noted on the menu page. friendly staff otherwise, appears to have one staff for the whole restaurant

    Now THIS is a speakeasy. I had no idea that I was going to get this experience when coming to…read moreHouston, but I couldn't be happier. The origami ceiling, lively bar, friendly staff, unique cocktails, fun bathroom, and photo booth in the corner made for an unforgettable experience. My friend said it was the busiest he had ever seen the place, and it was loud. But we got some awesome drinks that I swore I could've taken pics of -- the lighting was a little crazy, so I think I ultimately changed my mind with that. One was the periscope which was a refreshing and summery gin drink... And I think I tried the naked and famous too because I like mezcal. I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!
