Nando’s

A typical Nandos restaurant, however I think this is one of the most popular ones I have ever been to as there is often a queue out the door. Staff are always friendly and helpful. As much as I like spicy food I tend to get my Nandos plain and then add a sauce to it for that kick, although sometimes I think the sauce is hotter than the peri peri spice in the chicken. Love the fact there is free refills on soft drinks which is good when I being my nieces here as they always want more.

Although I have only been a carnivore for the past year and a half I have to say, I have been coming to nandos for years. They do the peri peri well, it may be a franchise but the food is always an excellent standard and if you are not a meat eater, they have great alternatives. I always went for their beanie pita burger with chilli jam, the patty was tasty and the jam gave it a great kick. Their sides and salad are excellent too with the portions being big. Since becoming a carnivore it have expended my options, the wings are very tasty, not lashings of hot sauce but it’s like they are fresh off the bbq, and grilled to perfection. And if you are feeling adventurous they have a wing roulette with each variety of peri spice, all their way up to their Extra hot.
It pricey enough, but their loyalty scheme means you will get the odd free meal if you are a regular, and with their free soft drink refills you feel like they are not totally shafting you.
They serve beer, wine and sangria, I would recommend their Super Bock beer, it’s a portugese and whenever I go to Portugal I pretty much drink it instead of water, it’s so refreshing! (I don’t advise replacing water with alcohol, it can’t be good for you!)

LOVE Nando’s! Haven’t been since my student days and forgot how good it tasted.
For anyone who has never experienced Nando’s its basically just chicken, chicken and more chicken cooked in a variety of spice! It comes in platters of chicken wings, ½, ¼ and full chicken breasts, burgers, wraps and pittas! You can also choose a side or two to go with it, my fav being spicy rice and peri peri chips!
The most amazing thing about Nando’s is their vast array of deliciously spicy sauces! I would recommend all of them especially the garlic and herb. Today i tried the lemon and herb which had a nice kick to it and i will definitely be using this when i go back! For anyone who is that little bit more daring with hot food try the XX hot sauce and you won’t be disappointed!
Service was great and the waitresses were pleasant and on hand to make sure everything was good with our meal!
Everyone should go and embrace the Nando’s (thumbs up emoji)

Nandos is my favourite place to eat when I go to Belfast.
Every time I go to Victoria square with friends we don’t even talk about where we are going to eat we just know we are going to nandos.
The food is brilliant for the price you have to pay and the staff are very helpful, if you aren’t a fan of spicy foods I wouldn’t get and hotter than medium spice on your chicken or medium sauce.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in Belfast and looking for somewhere nice to eat

I’ve been wanting to try Nando’s for a bit ever since a friend told me about it (they just happened to open a location in Chicago!). I got their hot-​spiced Peri Peri chicken with a side of Peri fries and coleslaw. I really enjoyed the ¼ chicken and the coleslaw (and I NEVER like coleslaw). I thought it was a really big portion for one person which I would never complain about! Even though it’s a bit pricey (but what isn’t in the UK?), I would go back.

I’m from the States and this was by far my favorite restaurant in Belfast! The food was cooked perfectly, the sauces flavorful, service was great! The atmosphere has a fun vibe to it! I’d recommend Nando’s to anyone!

Nando’s is nice, just not really my cup of tea. They do offer a few veggie options and I recently lunched on their portobello mushroom and halloumi burger. It was good but I found the medium sauce even too spicy for my tastes.
However the price is good, service efficiently pleasant and the Portuguese wine tasty so I will return. Next time I’ll just investigate super mild sauces without the chilli kick. Spice fiends will love this place.

The food here was tasty and filling. It was well presented and very fresh.
However, as a group of 4, two people got their food first, then we waited 10mins for the other two meals. I went up to check and didn’t get so much as an apology.
Nando’s in itself is overpriced for what you get. Self service and semi-​fast food should bring down the ludicrously high prices you would think.

I love a trip to Nando’s and think their piri piri chicken is great. I always opt for the medium strength, and normally go for the boneless ‘butterfly chicken’ though do sometimes enjoy a burger. I love their mash as a side and also the corn on the cob served with butter. Plenty of other mains and sides are available. Desserts are yummy and worth a try if you’ve any room left after your main. I quite like how you have to pay first so that you’re not chasing a waiter at the end to get your bill paid. A visit to Nando’s is definitely worth it for a tasty treat. If you’re not really into your chicken, it may not be the place for you. A limited range of other options such as veggie options are available, but really the focus is on piri piri chicken.

Just had a ½ chicken for £7 because had a hankering for some Peri-​Peri… Ordered and paid for online, technology!!! However, while the sauce (extra-​hot, go on I dare you) really is the bee’s knees, I really do not see the big deal and why everyone raves about it.
Yeah the chicken is pretty good I do admit but let’s be perfectly honestly, the chips aren’t great and the sides tend to be quite small and it’s extremely overpriced for what you actually get and one my visit I’ve found the staff member I dealt with to be a bit rude, something that should not be happening in a big chain restaurant like this!
Takeaway service may make me use it now but I wouldn’t go in and deal with the hectic environment.

Evidently, Nandos is a common site in the UK. Having truly enjoyed a great meal here, I can only wish they would expand to the States. I ordered chicken thigh plate with rice and corn as my sides. Asked for hot sauce.
Chicken was very moist and cooked perfectly. Sauce had nice heat without overpowering flavor. Rice pilaf was good with a shot or two of hot sauce mixed in. Corn was properly grilled.
Good service, good food, moderately priced. I will be back

Easy delicious dinning. If you like chicken you should definitely try Nando’s.
I had the chicken burger with Pineapple. To play it safe, I stayed with the Lemon Herb seasoning and it had a peppery background, it was nice and flavorful. The bun was ok, but the chicken, cheese and pineapple really made the sandwich. Chips were decent, ketchup helps especially as they cool down.
The office gents I went with had a variety of chicken choices from the boneless butterfly to ¼ and ½ chickens. They all raved about the seasoning and then began to dare each other to try the sauces on the table. The one that caused an immediate reaction (Coughing, Running Noise and Watery Eyes) the one in the black bottle. Make sure you have food to chase it down, it may burn the throat :) in a good way.
Service was very friendly and accommodating to our work group — 10 of us. The bill came out to be $ 203 USD, not bad for full plates and sodas for everyone. No one… NO ONE left hungry. I look forward to trying the boneless butterfly chicken with medium heat next time!

Ate here on a sunday, busy spot for sure…
The staff are so nice, all so obliging to help… and are all really cool to talk to.
It was my first time ever in Nandos and I will defo be returning.
It was myself and 2 of my work mates, we had the wings platter and wow the garlic bread and wings with (lime sauce i think and the medium sauce) delish… the chips could have been a lil better with a bit of a peri peri powder woulda melted me but awesome!!!
The staff were all so nice, the manager Lynne wow she couldnt do any more for us. We ate like kings… The atmosphere was so good in the place… I wish i had room for dessert thats all i can say…

I love Nando’s, don’t get me wrong. In most instances I often settle for mediocre vegetarian dishes and accept them as an unfortunate consequence of eating out. Nando’s, as a relatively cheap dining option, has a vegetarian fare that is a joy to behold.
However, this particular restaurant made almost had me question my previously unquestioning faith in all things Portuguese chicken restaurant related. The service was nothing short of abysmal. The wait times before and during the meal were especially frustrating due to the fact that my visit had by no means coincided with anything suggestive of an evening rush. Now I don’t expect a Zagat-​rated dining experience at Nando’s, but there’s a definite problem with the service when it takes nearly three quarters of an hour and a couple of polite reminders just to get coffee and dessert.

This is a perfect place to go out in a big group. Lets get one thing straight at the beginning. This restaurant is by no means fine dining, it is cheap and good value. It is rather quirky which will have you wanting more.
It mainly offer burgers and chicken. The chicken is its best dish and you can choose the degree of spice or heat you desire. It is the kind of place that you pay before you eat then the servers will deliver your food to you.
I like eating here because you can enjoy your food knowing that you have paid for it whilst enjoying free drink refills. They have a club card which you can get stamped and sooner or later earn a free meal.
Love this place

Oh yes, at last I get to review somewhere that I had a truely shocking experience. I had been to this place a couple of times and had no real problems but the last time I was here it was a shocker and I simply couldn’t believe how long it took to get our food.
We were sitting with a group of other people and we were all having a bit of banter. We all ordered at the same time but the others had got their food, eaten it and finished by the time we got our food. When we said to our waitress about it she seemed completely uninterested and in no way able to help us. She sent over a manageress who, to be fair, apologised but it really was a shocker.
Lots of people have given this place ⁵⁄₅ but I really can’t see why. The food is so basic and just about has a taste never mind even thinks about being tasty.
Bad stuff.

Oh Victoria Square, why did you do this to me?
When you have a love for chicken and are very hungry and crave some chicken but don’t want to go to KFC, you can often be stuck for somewhere to go. And then like a cocaine addict looking for a fix, Victoria Square sold me some Nandos. And now I can’t get enough.
Nandos is a terrific place. You have a huge choice of food and more importantly than that, you have an even better choice of sauces. The Peri Peri is a favourite of mine but I found if you mix a few you can create something magic.
The first time I went here, I was a bit confused as to what to do because it involves more than pointing to a menu and waiting for food. But once you have a hold of it, the experience becomes a bit more enjoyable and a bit more personal.
Plus when you have food this good and a bill that is no where near as high as you first though, chances are you are going to want to come back. And I did. Many many times.
The one on Bedford Street is really good, possibly even better than here. But Nandos in itself is well worth a visit.

«There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright oh-​Nando (s)».
Abba always were a band with such great taste, and they certainly do not fail with these fantastic lyrics, which although do not directly refer to this great restaurant, could almost be written in awe and wonderment of Nando’s.
I have to admit, I’ve been a fair few times to Nando’s. It’s the ‘old reliable’, but I am constantly excited each time I venture into the tantalisingly aromatic restaurant. The smell (or perhaps ‘scent’ would be more apt), wafts up ones nostrils, and the happy, joyous Portugese music helps to create a wonderful atmosphere upon entering Nando’s. The friendly staff are always on hand to aid you should you be a Nando novice, and the self-​service layout, is in my eyes, a much quicker and handier way of doing things.
On this particular occasion, I arrived at Nando’s on a beautifully sunny evening with my boyfriend, having been turned away from another, unmentionable restaurant, who threatened to keep us waiting 45 minutes for food. And so to Nando’s it was. Both of us being Nando experts, we sailed in, picked a lovely wee table on the outside of the restaurant, immediately chose what we wanted and queued. As I searched frantically for my Nando’s loyalty card (no prizes for guessing just how close to that free whole chicken I am…), my boyfriend questioned the number of our table, having evidently forgotten to check. A quick scarper back to table 44 (on my behalf naturally), and we were ready to go. Let this be a lesson to all you newbies… do not forget the numero de table! It will have a detrimental affect, not least to your poor growling stomach.
A short wait in the queue, a well-​recited demand for choice of food and a green stamp on my card later, we returned to our seats. A mere 5 minutes after, our food arrives. I’m exceedingly ‘boring’ when it comes to Nando’s — chicken wings always do it for me! Lemon and herb… yum yum yum.
Another note to you inexperienced Nando visitors, ‘medium’ peri-​peri chicken is really rather hot. I have found that the milder flavoured chicken works rather well with lashings of ‘medium’ peri-​peri sauce. It also aids in the testing of such a flavour, for it may not be to everyone’s tastes.
And so, back to dinner. Except it’s pretty much all gone… wings, coleslaw and chips, washed down with two large glasses of tap water (a mere £7.80 some-odds…I know, you’d think I’d remember!). Well, one trip to the toliet later and we are done. No room for a dessert, although the chocolate cups are highly recommended.
There we have yet another satisfying trip to Nando’s. I’d probably have shares in it if I could…

Although I quite enjoyed the food at Nandos, I think I may be getting too old for this kind of dining experience.
We got off to a shaky start by not knowing the ropes. How was I supposed to know that you queue up, order and pay and then go and sit down and wait for your food? The waiter explained this to us slowly in a ‘dear God not another one’ fashion. Noted for next time, which there probably will be now that I have got with the system.
So we settled ourselves after that departure from traditional ordering and waited for the food. Not too long which gets a thumbs up as this isn’t the sort of restaurant I would go to to spend the whole evening. I like to match my drinks with my food so I went mad and had a Portugese beer. Didn’t order a second. Oh and for fellow Nandos virgins, Nandos serves Portugese food. It seemed only right to have the signature peri peri chicken and I liked it. Not loved it, liked it. The husband opted out of the sauce and cutlery gathering slot completely so I did that which I found a bit faffy. We had garlic bread and chips on the side, after I had actually laughed aloud at the very thought of paying £3.75 for corn on the cob. How amusing.
I think the side orders and sauces would be where you need to be careful, especially if you take the whole family. A large portion of chips is £3.75 and extra peri peri sauce is 50p a shot so keep an eye on those things if you are budget conscious.
Nandos defo has the novelty factor and there are burgers and wraps for anyone with an aversion to peri peri sauce.
There were lots of over-​excited noisy teenagers there when we went (Saturday tea time) but we didn’t get too bent out of shape as we just wanted a casual bite to eat before the cinema.
I will definitely give it another go.

Great food, wait times can be a pain. 45mins for food!
