Nando's PERi-PERi

4-Star seems fair. The chicken was good.
I liked the lemon herb chicken and would consider making something similar at home.
It tasted like the chicken was brined and that made it juicy. While it was cooked on direct flame (huge plus for flavor and presentation), the skin was not at all crispy like I enjoy when I make chicken.
They likely transfer directly from brine to the grill and do not allow time for the skin to dry and crisp when cooking. The Mac and cheese was above average but less than average portion.
They could have doubled the amount and it would have felt correct. The garlic bread was ok at best.
It was buttery and toasted.
It did not taste like fresh cut garlic and could have been amazing with just a hint of crusted/melted cheese. The fact they said my order was ready and then took another 5minutes to make it because the staff “messed up” with no apology or extra anything partially removed the 5-star. The small Mac and cheese portion and $20 for a chicken thigh and breast portion felt high from similar chicken restaurants. I liked their sauce and bought a bottle to experiment with on wings at home.
The bird’s eye chili they use is a nice balanced heat.

This post specifically regards the wing order.
TLDR: Do not order the wings. My partner and I just ordered $60 worth of food for dinner via DoorDash (does not include fees, tax and tip), and was extremely disappointed with my order.
I expect food in company product photos will usually look a little better from the real thing, but the size and cost of the wings delivered little abysmal. It cost $27 for these 12 wings pictured along two sides of rice.
While my partner’s food and the rice were fine, I found these wings to be so comically small, I couldn’t even fully enjoy the flavor.
It would have been almost $10 cheaper to have ordered a 1/2 chicken with two sides, and of course much more filling/appetizing. We do love Nandos chicken breast and thigh cuts, so please do not be deterred to order their other chicken pieces.
DO NOT order the wings and stick with their standard chicken meals.

The food was good and presented nicely.
The chicken was juicy, well sauced, and delicious! The staff was friendly and the wait wasn’t long.
I loved the variety of sauces available! There is also a hand washing station near the fountain machine, which was super convenient. The atmosphere was open with ample seating.
You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table.
The drinks are self serve at the fountain machine - unless alcoholic.
I came during lunch and it was a pleasant experience.
I recommend giving it a try!
