Nandos

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Anyone enjoy a Nandos?

For me its unbelievable. Addicted to the place! The chicken is unreal.

[Just Alf]

It's pretty decent and always good quality (whichever one you go to) but it IS a chain and as a result everything is cooked (all be it nicely) to design. I much prefer independent places... Sometimes it's fantastic, sometimes great and sometimes OK, or worse! But for me that's all part of the experience.

[Scouse Hibee]

Not a fan myself, very overrated in my opinion but each to their own I suppose.

[Frazerbob]

I find the the popularity of Nandos very odd......it's just chicken! Not a fan of the the mass branded restaurants that appear in every city centre, shopping mall & airport in general, most are pish with 80% of the food prepared off the premises and reheated.

[over the line]

Just don't get it really. Is it not just chicken, with some spices and stuff? It's ok, but nothing special. I prefer red meat anyway.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Not real Portugese food, and it is over priced. I think it is popular because it is more sophisticated than McDonalds, but offers the same safe consistency that fast food chains do. Fair play though, lots of people like it, but its not for me.

Nandos is to Hipsters what McDonalds is to Boy Racers.

[Pretty Boy]

I don't mind Nandos.

Wouldn't be my choice for a meal out but for a quick lunch in a hurry it's ok.

A drive-thru?

Over-rated and full of scenesters only there's so they can tag themselves at it. It's *****.

absolutely this.

[danhibees1875]

I think it's good chicken. But also over priced.

Their piri piri chip sprinkle is 100% fantastic though.

[BroxburnHibee]

It's overpriced.

Spiced half chicken (on the bone) & chips for a tenner!!!!

By the way while cooking on the bone can enhance the flavour I've a feeling these chains do this because it makes the portion look bigger - they're buying small and cheap and making a fortune.

[DH1875]

I like a Nando's buy have to agree. Its WAY over priced for what it is.

[HibbyAndy]

Cosmos all the way.

Probably

Its decent when hunger needs sorted quickly and without much thought but for me, is miles away from the authentic Portugese piri piri chicken taste you get in surprisingly... Portugal.

Its like going to Zizzi's or any other branded Italian, the food is okay but having been to Italy many times, the standard of food just don't compare. Or the prices for that matter, the former and less appétitising being the more expensive.

[heretoday]

Nandos is a disgrace. Especially the one by the Usher Hall.

No Portuguese person would eat there.

They sell Nandos Piri Piri sauce in Portugal (ive seen it in Continente and in Jumbo). The best Piri Piri I have had is fresh, and each place seems to have its own variation.

I wonder if this place is any good: https://www.facebook.com/opheliamar

Thanks for the heads up. Menu looks good, but no Doce da Casa

Surprised they don't do Cataplanas either - I thought that was a staple. Definitely will try this one, menu is better than the Portobello one.

Yep, Tugas Amor is the business. Just like being in Portugal. It's BYOB, but gets very busy. Recommend people go now before the business expands.

Apparently eating a Nandos is 'cheeky', at least according to my Twitter. Eating one during the week seems to be especially 'cheeky'.

[Cameron1875]

Cheeky wee nandos with my bae....

I love a cheeky Nandos.

Seriously though, never been there and have no intention of doing so. Plenty better restuarants out there.

Kids like it and its hell of a lot better than Maccy D or, heaven forbid, Chimmichanga ( which is utter ****)

what did you get? i had the sandwhich with all the meats and the sauce first time. sounded too good to be true and although i enjoyed it, id build it up that much that i ended up a little disapointed. Went back and had the piri piri which id go back for again, deserts were good as well.

[#FromTheCapital]

I love it, but I'm starting to get sick of it because I've been so many times. The price is good for what you get I reckon. I usually go for the chicken butterfly with two sides - works out around £11. Love the peri peri sauce and peri peri nuts
