People on here will prob say it's nothin special, but I love a nandos!

Half chicken (medium spice), with spicy rice and piri piri chips. Yum!

Are you unreasonable to have never eaten at a Nando's? Really?

It is just chicken lol but thanks lottie - for your suggestions of good things off the menu - I was wondering how broad their menu range was...

No, you're not missing anything.
One visit was enough to know it's shite.

Suppose I meant it flippantly Vladmirs - lol - it's just as a chain it gets so much publicity - remember the fuss a few years ago - cheeky Nandos/Bantersaurus Rex etc etc ?!

I have been once. It was just a rather unexciting chicken and chips, nothing special. So no you're not missing anything.

Well, I've never been to a Nandos, simply because the nearest is in the city about 20-25 miles away.

I love nandos.
Medium spice chicken in pita with halloumi, chips with peri peri salt, rice and macho peas.
Plus loads of their sauce

I love Nandos too. The sides in particular are great-halloumi, peri peri chips and macho peas are my favourites. Those and a wing platter to share with dh and I'm a happy camper.

I never understood the "cheeky" Nandos thing Confused.
If eating chicken and chips makes you feel you're living on the edge; you really need to go a damn site further than Nandos of an evening...

I think it's a bit like a posh(ish) KFC. It's ok but the whole self ordering with waitress service is a bit confusing. Is it a restaurant or a fast food outlet?

I've been once.

I was distinctly underwhelmed.

It's just chicken and chips, nothing really thrilling.

I went with work when one opened across from us and the younger members of the team raved about it but I wouldn't go again.

If you want to try it get yourself a good quality chicken and a nandos sauce from the supermarket, will probably be nicer

I love nandos! I am actually vegetarian, but all their veggie food is yummy. And it's pretty cheap and they serve wine, which is enough for me.

I've never been to one on account of living in the middle of nowhere. Our local town (40 miles away) is getting one soon so I'm sure we'll pop in to try it out.
