This is one of my articles on my series of ‘Restaurant Reviews’. In this series, I review some of the restaurants, takeaways and food chains, either from UberEats or after going to the actual place.

On Monday 4th January 2021, my sister and I ordered from Firewaves through UberEats. We ordered two pizzas. Was it really worth it?

What is Firewaves?

Firewaves is a restaurant from Walthamstow and they sell a variety of foods from pizza, comfort food to street food.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

• My sister and I ordered two different pizzas through the UberEats app. 
• The first pizza was ‘The Maxican’. The app states that this pizza contains ‘spicy beef, onion, peppers, jalapeno peppers and chilli.’ It altogether costs £8.99 (containing the stuffed crust). Altogether, this was delicious and I would rate 3.9/5. But if you are one to not like spicy food, this will probably not for you as it is quite spicy.
• The second pizza was ‘American Hot’. The app states that this pizza contains ‘signature pepperoni and spicy jalapeno peppers.’ This cost £8.99. This was also quite delicious but I felt that the other pizza was better. This pizza got the rating of 3.7/5.

The Service:

UberEats took 30-45 minutes to deliver the pizzas to our house. This was an average amount of time to arrive.

Would I Recommend It?

I wouldn’t necessarily specifically recommend Firewaves as it felt like normal pizza. It met the requirements of what it says, but it wasn’t too extravagant or too extraordinary.

My Rating: 3.8/5

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
