On Friday 30th October 2020, my sister and I went to Nando’s for a celebration. I had been to Nando’s before but I thought that in this article, I would be sharing my experience on that specific day. 

What is Nando’s?

Nando’s is a well-known South African restaurant chain that specialises in Portugese-African food, including its signature flame-grilled peri-peri style chicken. The branch that I went to was the Walthamstow branch.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• My sister and I shared a ‘Boneless Platter’ which cost £21.20. This platter contained 1 Chicken Butterfly, 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs and 4 regular sides. The sides that I and my sister picked were peri peri chips, spicy rice, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob, all in medium spice. Altogether, the platter was quite delicious but it may have been a bit less for two people.
• We also took a burger each. I took the medium spiced grilled chicken burger while my sister took the hot grilled chicken burger. Altogether, this cost £11.80. The burger was quite big and pretty good.
• Lastly, we both took two desserts each. We had the ‘Salted Caramel Brownie’ and ‘Dark Chocolate Gelado’. The brownie was £2.40 and the Gelado was £2.80. The desserts were a perfect chocolate combo so I would recommend it.

The Service:

The service was pretty good in general, as the staff came when needed. I liked the system of scanning the code and it helped in social distancing. However, I and my sister had ordered a ‘Choc-a-Lot Cake’ and we waited for about 20-25 minutes only to find out after calling one of the staff that they ran out of the cake. They gave us a refund but it made us a bit upset for having to wait so long.

The Place:

The place was pretty clean with nice colours and decor. It was quite spacious and very big. This store was pretty crowded when we went as it was around lunch-time.

Would I Recommend It?

Nando’s is a good eating place, where there are pretty delicious food and space. It may be a bit pricey and a bit over-rated for some people, but otherwise, it is pretty good.

My Rating: 3.9/5
