Nando's

My friends found the process of ordering food amusing since we kept having to say the word ‘Peri-peri’ for everything. For example: “Can I have Peri-Peri Chicken with Hot Peri-Peri sauce?” This 'Peri peri' sauce is tasty and being a little too afraid of trying their extra hot Peri-Peri sauce, I went for the second tier which was the Hot Peri-Peri sauce. It was rather spicy but still alright. I shall try the Extra-Hot version the next time!

Didnt had Nando's for awhile since the last time i had a bad experience with their chicken which was served cold with hot sauce. The thing about Nando's is that their service is really terrible partly due to being understaffed. This time around, i was satisfied with the quality of food but sadly they mixed up my orders and my bf's orders. I ordered their new butterfly chicken breast (level: hot) with sides of spinach and fresh salad. My bf ordered their chicken fillet burger(mild spicy) with wedges and salad.

So firstly, they had mixed up our side dishes with wedges on my plate with the chicken breast and he had the spinach. So its alright we switched it ourselves. Secondly, my poor bf felt that his dish was very spicy and realised they had mixed up the level of spiciness for our orders!

Other than that, taste of food is alright. I was satisfied by my chicken (just had to add the spicy sauce myself) and the hting about nando's is that i really love their sides more than their chicken! THe spinach is very nice with onions in it and the fresh salad was not tasteless at all with so oil and olives in it. I remembered the last time their side dishes were full of oil so in terms of food quality it probably has improved from my last time.

Alas i await the day i can have a perfect review for Nando's. They need to buck up!

I cannot recall seeing the Mashed Sweet Potato on the Nando's menu. I ordered it, along with Mediterranean rice for my Quarter Chicken sidelines and it came served rather plainly on a side dish. No garnish and no sauce, just plain old sweet potato mash. I took a bite. It tasted sweet and smelt of a toasted aroma. I finished the entire plate. I guess it was because no peeling of the skin was required! I hope it remains on the menu!

Claiming that their chicken is marinated for 24 hours and then flamed grill to their customer's choice of peri peri chicken sauce.

Food
1/4 Peri Peri Chicken set with 2 side dish - $13.90
Pair with coleslaw and grilled vegetables, although i had chosen the mild level of spiciness, my tongue still feel abit numb after eating it and I hardly can enjoy this dish standalone without a glass of drink. Service
Service is moderate.

Ambience
Nice ambience i would say. Located somewhere near the escalator, the restaurant is actually

Price
Reasonably price for Portuguese food.

Recommendation / Tips
There are levels of spiciness, if you are adventure enough, you can try the most spicy.

I meet at client at katong 112 and he brought me to this restaurant for lunch.
i didn't know what to order so he did the order for me and tell me i'm sure to like it alot.
at that moment i was still curious and afraid whether what he order will it be nice anot, if it's not nice and i dun like it then what am i going to do.
To my surprise the chicken he ordered for me was really yummy and delicious. the chicken was very well cooked and was cooked just nice. the chicken was so juicy and tender. the sauce on top of the chicken was cooked really well and it helps to bring out the taste of the chicken very well.
Really a best match.

if you happen to see this restaurant and you really dun know what to have then this restaurant is a must try.

We recently went to Nando's for dinner, this time, besides the 1/4 chicken which is our normal order, we ordered for Chicken livers. The 1/4 chicken was great,like it usually is. The Chicken liver was simply delicious, it was prepared with Nando's peri peri sauce. It wasn't too spicy, had gravy & tasted yummy. I am a chicken liver fan so really enjoyed it. Im glad I tired the Chicken liver for a change. For sides we ordered Mediterranean rice, fries, coleslow & 3 bean salad. We also ordered for bottomless Iced tea. The bill came upto 40$ for 2 pax.

nando's is offering it's new menu. i tried the 1/4 chicken with 2 sides. i chose potato salads and old style chips. i am a big fan of potato hence i love the sides they are offering. they do offer other sides too! like peri chips, wedges, 3 bean salads, garlic bread, spicy rice. i guess you will be spoilt for choice. now they are also offering bottomless drink, which means free refills! hence it is really worth it.

Last month, one evening we decided to go to Nando's for Dinner, Nando's being our favourite, we go there often for their 1/4 chicken, though we tried other stuff on their menu too. This time we ordered for 2 1/4 chicks (extremely hot & lemon & herb). For sides we ordered for Garlic bread, Mediterranean rice, fries, bean salad & an extra wedges. We also ordered for bottomless coke. As usual we enjoyed our meal. The chicken was great. The garlic bread was nice & crispy & had butter on it. The Mediterranean rice & bean salad have been a must have for us,they both have mild flavors & are great sides. We also binged on some fries & wedges. Overall great meal . The bill came to about 40-45 $.

Located in Plaza Singapura. Nice and cooling environment.
Went for 2 sets of meal. The fries and wedges are nicely done. Chicken wrap taste good with generous serving of ingredients. Chicken skewer is nicely done with the flavor locked in. The food are all serve in different degree of hotness. You could choose the least hot and just add chili as you go. Or you could just go for the hottest available. For chili lovers, their special blend of chili makes you want to add more. It is just so tasty. There is a special section for the drinks label ad bottomless drinks. Which means you could just refill it.

Environment is nice. Service staff are friendly and patient. Overall a very good place to dine at.

One saturday, my wife & I went for lunch to Nando's. We ordered for 2 1/4 chickens with 2 sides. For sides we ordered for a spiced rice, peri fries, mediterranean rice, & 3 bean salad. The chicken, we ordered-1 hot & the other medium spicy. Both tasted great, they were so well done & were tender & juicy. All sides were great as well. I din't like the mediterranean rice so much. I loved the peri firs sprinked with some peri spice mix.

Overall we loved Nando's & the lunch there.

The service staffs here are very friendly and the environment is also quite cosy and comfortable too. Have tried their grilled chicken with french fries during my visit and immediately I have fall in love with this main course. The grilled chicken is quite thick in portion and the chicken meat is tender and also juicy. The french fries are quit generous in portion and they are all very crispy and not too oily as well.

Came to try nando's yesterday for my dinner and we arrived slightly before 7pm so we didn't have to queue at all. Managed to get the table at the side which was great because it is quieter too. Didn't know what to order actually until my friend suggest we take the student's meal which includes the quarter chicken and two sides together with a drink. I chose mild for the spicyness of the chicken as i cannot really take food that is too spicy but even though it is mild, it was already kind of spicy! The two sides that i chose was the peri potato salad and the spicy rice. The spicy rice wasn't even spicy at all and it tastes rather nice too. The potato salad was also not too bad. Overall i would say it was a pleasant meal at nando's. Would definitely come back here again next time. The student meal costs $13.90.

This afternoon, we went to Plaza Sing for brunch and decided upon Nando's as the place wasn't crowded yet
We placed our order and the drinks came shortly along with a glass of complimentary ice water - what a surprise!
I still remember the days when a celebrity visited Nando's and had an unpleasant experience about obtaining some warm water, I applaud Nando's for this change
We waited around 15-20 minutes and our food still hadn't arrived and the couple next to us got theirs first though they came in after us.
3-5 minutes after our neighbor got their food, one of the servers car over with a bowl of mushroom soup and bread for us, explaining that one of the dishes was still roasting so they offered us the bowl of soup as a complimentary starter, I was definitely impressed by the service
The good food finally came about 10minutes later
They also have a new side order menu, i tried the peri green peas and it was tasty, sadly the sweet potato side order was not available;(
Am definite coming again to try that

This is my first time eating at Nando's. I heard from friends that it was really nice, so I wanted to give it a try. I asked my dad and he also wanted to eat it, so we went there for dinner. As it was the first time my mum, my brother and I went there, my dad ordered the food. He ordered a Chicken Pita for my brother and I to share. The Chicken Pita came with one side dish, and I chose the Peri Chips. The chicken Pita was nice. The pita was easy to eat, the chicken was tender and the tomatoes and other ingredients inside were well cooked too. I enjoyed my meal. With the Pita Chips, it was wonderful. On top of that, I ordered a drink, Ice Chocopresso. It tasted like a chocolate drink, sweet and tasty. The chocolate could be tasted very well and it was a big cup. My dinner was wonderful.
