    I recently came to this Nando's for a late lunch with a friend. To make a long, boring story much shorter, Yelp GTA has been kind organizing two different Nando's experiences. There was one by my workplace in Mississauga for Yelp elites and one at this Nando's in Richmond Hill that was open to all Yelpers. As much as I would have liked to have signed up for the one in the Hill, I decided to open a spot up to a Yelper and try my hand at getting into the elite one by my work. I did! The problem? My friend got into this one and we couldn't plan to meet up at the same event. Instead, since I was curious about this location, I offered to meet up with her here. I'd get a meal like a regular human being and she'd check in for the Yelp experience. Perfect! We met on a Friday afternoon at roughly 3:30 pm. It was a nice warm day with the temperature being well above 20°C. I had no problem finding this location. It's on the southwest corner of Yonge and Weldrick Road East. There's parking in front of the eatery. I actually came from Weldrick, so I parked slightly north of the eatery. I noticed tables outside, so I sat out there and waited for my friend. It was a gorgeous day and I had been been indoors for most of the week. The table that I was at had a QR code for the menu. I scanned it and figured out what I wanted to order. I saw my friend pull in. Perfect timing! We chatted a bit before entering. It's standard at Nando's to check in at the front. You order your food and then pick out your table. What I noticed was the all the tables near the door were fully taken. It seemed odd to me because we are definitely eating at an off-peak hour. Yet, it looked busy. It was the only downside that I saw. If you want to come here for dinner, I foresee you not getting a table because there aren't many indoors. We had the most helpful person at the counter. I indicated that I was going to order a meal and my friend was here for Yelp. My friend wanted a table by the window. He suggested table 24. Cool! There is more seating to the right of the order area, but it's a medium-sized space. I got the following items: - Half a chicken with mango and lime sauce - Garlic mashed potatoes I also asked for water for both of us. I like that water is served in a glass bottle and you get glasses. It's a nice touch. You pick up cutlery and sauces in a corner to the left of the order area. There were several bottles of medium PERi-PERi sauces, but only one bottle of hot sauce. I grabbed a medium, grabbed cutlery and napkins, and met up with my friend. After the server had found my friend's name on the Yelp list, we headed to table 24 and chatted. My food came first, followed by hers. I was pleased that I had a perfectly portioned meal. The half chicken was delicious. This place does chicken well. It's perfectly moist and tender. Oh, how I have missed the mango and lime sauce! It was tangy and flavourful. I wish that there were more of it slathered on my chicken. I had to break out the medium PERi-PERi and dip the remaining chicken in it. It was my first time getting garlic mashed potatoes. They were yummy. The garlic is mild. It didn't hurt my feelings as a massive garlic fan. The mashed potatoes seemed to have bits of bacon in it. Yum! My friend's massive meal had arrived. I asked her how she felt about the PERi-PERi mac and cheese. I realized that what I got was missing the PERi crumble on top of it at the Dixie location. No wonder I wasn't wowed by it! She was sweet to let me try her mac and cheese. It definitely was better with the PERi crumble on top. We both agreed that it still tasted like mac and cheese, but the crumble made this side a ton better. She loved her food. She was also sweet to split her nata with me. We both had the same reaction biting into it. You just heard, "Mmm!" at our table, followed by silence. It has the perfect balance of creamy custard with flakiness surrounding it. So good! I truly need to get six of them to go. All for me, of course! The washrooms are single private stalls. I got to hang up my purse. It was clean. No complains. We spent 2.5 hours chatting and laughing. It was a good end to the workweek. All workweeks should end like this one did. Staff were extremely responsive clearing our plates and bringing the nata over towards the end of our meal. One of them asked me how my meal was. It was excellent! There is curbside pickup. You literally park your car by the curb, walk in, and fetch your order from one of the cubbies by the order area. While I was sitting outside before meeting up with my friend, I watched a man perform the entire procedure. I had a great time here. Great company helps, as does delicious food and terrific, attentive service. I'd definitely return. I actually want to try curbside pickup because it looked like fun when the man did it. (151)

    This place is specialized in bbq chicken and decorated with bright colours with cute details. You can causally sit inside or outside. They took the order in front desk and bring the food to your table after. Ordered : 1/4 chicken breast combo with three sides, 4/5 1/4 chicken leg with two sides 4/5 Chicken was juicy and flavoured right, the portion wise is towards to the small end.

    Macaroni cheese
    Ivon W.

    Came here due to yelp event. Got 1/4 chicken (hot), macaroni cheese, rice, coleslaw, and (supposedly) portugese tart (they forgot about it). I did take out. It was fast and friendly service. Chicken tender, juicy, and have nice 'charcoal grill' taste on some parts, delish sauce, great 'kick' (i ordered hot, but it's not as hot as korean food type of 'hot'..which is a good thing for me). The sauce doesnt go all the way to the meat. It's only on the outside. Inside is quite bland. But the restaurant pack extra sauces. So I dip the meat into the extra sauce and it was kinda sour. I wonder if it's the same sauce used on the grilled chicken(because grilled chicken is NOT sour). Macaroni cheese is quite good. It neutralize the 'sourness' of the dipping sauce. Eating altogether give nice overall flavour. Less star since the I'm hoping the flavour goes all the way in (based on experience from different restaurant). But hey, never know until you try,right? My tastebud (sensitive to sour) could be different from yours. Cheers!

    Half chicken.  Corn  Slaw
    Tim A.

    It's been a long time since I've been here. I've had some cravings but never the time. So today is that day to know if my taste buds betrayed me or were bang on. Several staff members for the time. The ambiance is filled by their voices. Service seems to be slow as I ordered corn and slaw for my half chicken. I even had time to fill out the comment card. While waiting, I tested out the sauces. Medium piri-piri has probably the best taste. They are all rather salty. Within 15 min, I'm getting hungry. I'm about to drink a bottle of hot sauce and wash it down with my head under the soda tap. Lunch arrives. It's corn season that is not Ontario corn and over cooked. Chicken is decent. Touch too salty. Charcoal is good. Slaw has good flavour, over dressed. Decent, not terrific.

    Delicious! My wife and I were invited to the Yelp Elite event at Nando's Richmond Hill. We were thoroughly impressed with the portion size and more so the quality of the chicken and sides. We normally like dark meat, so added a double leg dinner, and I have to say the breast was cooked perfectly because it was just as juicy as the leg. I don't usually care for mac 'n cheese, but theirs is simple delicious. The rice was great as well, and my only criticism would be that while the cole slaw was quite fresh and tasty, I prefer it to be more acidic to balance out the rich flavour of the bbq chicken. The Portuguese tart was crispy and sweet. The perfect treat after a great meal. Thanks again for a great meal, and I look forward to using the bottles of Peri-Peri sauce that we got to bring home.

    The Yelp complimentary meal: 1/4 breast, rice, coleslaw, the new mac and cheese, and the Portuguese tart.
    Daisy K.

    I went to this location because of the Yelp elite event and I got a complimentary meal that consists of the 1/4 chicken breast, 3 sides (rice, coleslaw, and the new mac and cheese) and the Portuguese tart. Food: it was good -- everything was quite delicious. In general, the flavour was great but the tart skin was not exactly flaky. The complimentary meal was generous and very appealing. However, unfortunately, a meal that is paid out of my bf's pocket didn't look so good. He ordered the 1/4 chicken and one side (corn) meal. And each item quite small for its price ($15 ish). Needless to say, it was disappointing. Portion aside, taste was good. Service: as others have mentioned, it's more like fast food. A bit chilly inside (kinda like the temperature outside ~18C) Tbh, won't be back. The regular portions are just not worth the price. Though I have to say, my friends and I did notice that the family feast looked like a great deal!

    Had this when I was in Canada for a Rap festival and the chicken is delicious. The servers were very nice and attentive even tho we showed up late at night towards closing time. Thank you for the great service and the great food. Currently craving some of your Peri-Peri chicken. Can't wait to come back! The place is also very nice and clean and very colorful!

    Waiting for the take out.

    How can one resist some Nandos and its Peri-Peri chicken and sauce. We opted for a family pack which came with a few fill chicken cut in '8s' with some garlic bread and three sides. We came to the location north of 16 and Yonge, and placed the order with a gracious server and waited for about 20 minutes for the order. Even at 4 ish the place was brimming with eager patrons. The servers were kind to put in extra cutlery and spice for the take out. We order the Peri Peri fresh and some rice which seemed a bit on the small size. You cant go wrong with the chicken, which has that unique smokey flavour enhanced by the Peri Peri sauce. There was more than enough for the 5 of us, with leftovers for the next day. We had catered for a party in the past and there were more than enough options to satisfy about 30 people. Of course, Nados is a staple of Richnond Hill and a great go to option at any time. Enjoy! -Zuk

    Lemon & Herb Chicken with a side of fries
    Daniel A.

    I was quite worried given some of the negative reviews here, but I actually enjoyed my meal at Nandos. I shared a half chicken (lemon and herb) and large side of fries with a friend - it was the perfect portion to fill us both! The chicken was juicy and flavourful, and the fries were pretty good as well. I actually wanted to try their rice too, but for the portions of rice I was shown, it made more sense to get fries. One gripe I had was that their garlic sauce was apparently the only mild sauce available, yet I found it to be just as spicy as the medium sauce...maybe I'm just oversensitive to spicy foods!

    Heard of this South-Africa originated restaurant for a while, finally pay a visit a year after learnt they have location in Toronto. Ordered a sandwich with two sides The sandwich actually tastes average and small. The side - spiced rice has more aroma than taste. Second side - PERI fries has medium heat but probably the only reason of return. Out of curiosity, also tried the PERI medium heat sauce provided in the store - it has the medium heat as described with multilayer of flavor and a hint of vinegar.

    Ahhh Nandos always my first sit down restaurant stop in Toronto, you make it so hard to resist. Although each location is different they each do have the same decor to keep that Afro - Portuguese vibe consistent. The way the ordering works here is pretty simple ; You pick you're cut of chicken spice level and sides and sit at the table a patiently went for Nando to do his thing in the back. What I got back was a 2 brochettes with the mango marinated and a side of coleslaw and mashed potatoes. As per usual the chicken was incredibly moist and the mashed potatoes were buttery and I recommend stopping in any chance you can !

    I came here two times already, love the food. Sometimes customer service is excellent but depends on the day. There is a nice girl that works there that is Persian, she does the best job every time we are there. She should get a raise. NANDOS FOR LIFE! P.S. I love the decor here. I would give it 5 stars but the service last time wasn't as good ---------- UPDATE Super super disappointed how worse the service gets. I asked for a sample for two things. 1.Nuts 2. Olives Just for me and my husband to try. And one of the managers gave me one olive(had to ask for another one) and two nuts. I'm sorry but that's pretty petty. Terrible service and the washrooms, very gross. I may not ever come back again.

We were greeted immediately and seated at a table that was already set with cutlery and napkins, then offered both tea and water. They provide one physical menu per table, but there are also QR codes if you prefer viewing the menu digitally. Just a heads-up that the QR code is for browsing only, not online ordering. We ended up ordering the King Katsu, Rose Tteokbokki, Eggplant Dolsot, and a coffee. The King Katsu was absolutely massive, yet pounded thin enough to stay tender, with a beautifully light and flaky crust. The Rose Tteokbokki had the perfect level of spice balanced by a distinct sweetness. I would have loved to add cheese, but the $5.50 surcharge felt difficult to justify. The Eggplant Dolsot was another enjoyable dish, and the $3 coffee surprisingly reminded me of dalgona coffee, being bold, creamy, and quite sweet, like a dessert to finish off the meal. The restaurant itself has a unique, modern aesthetic that makes the space feel warm and inviting. The staff were friendly throughout our visit and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. As a nice bonus, they offer a 5% discount when paying with cash. Overall, the prices are on the higher end for Korean food, but the generous portions, quality dishes, and pleasant dining experience made it an enjoyable visit.

The chicken they use is perfectly cooked and moist and the batter is so light and crispy. They even put a pickle slice on the top of the bun like it's a crown (or more like a tiara). Speaking of the bun, MB also gets this right with their soft and cushiony bun that melts in your mouth with the succulent chicken. Honestly, this is one of the best burger buns ive had in a while! I bought a couple of their chicken sandwiches for $4.99 each as their Monday special. Another customer was mentioning how their special used to be $3.99. That's inflation for ya. I also tried their 2 piece combo with potato wedges (on a different day. I'm not a pig). The 2 piece was really tasty however not as mind blowing as their chicken sandwich IMO. Their wedges are actually amazing with their high amounts of powder seasoning. It's like the Doritos of wedges when it comes to more seasoning. The insides were potatoey which was a nice contrast when chewed with the crispy flavourful exterior. This is a fairly new location. I'm surprised no one reviewed them yet. They're located in the Longo's plaza, across the street from McDonalds.

I took advantage of the BOGO deal on Uber Eats and bought 2 Chicken Sandwiches ($8.95) and 2 sides of curly fries ($3.99). The chicken sandwiches were DELICIOUS. I got the Nashville Hot option (Choose between No Sauce (Ho Hum), Nashville Hot or Hot AF) and it was the perfect amount of heat. The sandwich itself is made up of 3 chicken tenders rather than one giant piece of chicken (which I kind of liked!). The curly fries were a little soggy because we got it to go but I'm sure if I ate them fresh in the restaurant, they would be hot and fresh. The fries also had some sort of flavouring on them, I think it might be cajun, which I loved! I will definitely buy these sandwiches again or even just the tenders themselves because they were SO good. Side note about the location: Frankie's Hot Chicken is located inside the Lone Star Texas Grill (which I didn't know so I circled around the plaza about 10 times before realizing it was inside Lone Star)
