History

Nando’s Review
Most Nando’s restaurants are spacious and have a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Guests are seated and then given a menu, but you have to order by going to the counter.
Customers love the restaurant chain’s tender and tasty chicken, which can be fairly spicy depending on the order. They also have a range of sides seasoned with the best spices.
The top picks are the restaurant’s popular boneless chicken thighs with PERi PERi chips. Don’t forget to match it with cheese or sweet potato mash for the perfect meal.
You don’t have to wait too long for the food, although some branches might take longer because of the higher number of guests.
