The Nando chicken is one of my favorite chicken. The sauce comes in a different levels of spiciness. After so many tried on the spicy sauces, i decided to give it a try for the not so spicy one. As usual, the chicken is always so nice and even the sauce that we have tried is fabulous.

Nando's did not particularly impress me much. The service was pretty bad, i had to call for bill twice and waited for 20 minutes just to pay. I was thinking no one would mind if i had just simply walked out of the shop without payment. They just have the " i don't care" attitude.

I should have gone with the crowd and ordered chicken meat with sides. Maybe i would have a better dining experience.

Second visit to Nando's before proceed to iluma for movie preview. Ordered a set of 1/4 chicken with coleslaw and Puri chips. I love the chips. i love the uniquely PERI PERI seasoning chips to the right level of spiciness. It might looked red but the spiciness level was well controlled. The coleslaw tasted rather good too.

It came serving in a little bowl.

The chicken leg is still as delicious as ever. I went ahead to order the mild level and it came with a little yellow flag saying 'tickle your taste bugs'. It left me craving for more after i done eating the chicken leg. I would definitely be back for more.

If you want something different to spice up your life then then this is it. But beware! You might be hooked!

Visited the outlet with 3 other friends so we ordered the peri platter for me. In my opinion, it's not worth it as we can only choose 4 sidelines, compared to the set meal which allowed us to choose 2 sidelines each. We also ordered the peri hummus and novo pita! Warm bread dipped in unique sauce. Worth trying!

And of course when you're having so much chicken, I recommend ordering an iced chocolate as well! Very sweet and pleasing!

I had their chicken wrap during lunch. There wasn't anyone at all! Love their sauces. From mild hot to extra hot and for non-hot which is tomato. It'll be a pity if you can't take spicy food as it really taste fabulous. I even bought a bottle back! Plus point, probably during rush hours you won't get this kind of good food as the chef are too busy. Chicken was pretty tender , fresh and seasoned. Will come back again!

My first time trying it after hearing so many raves. The queue is mad! Super duper long queue and can take up to half and hour or more! Whereas during lunch time about 1pm on weekdays, there's no one at all! Probably should go on non peak hours! Anyway, i ordered grilled chicken, fries and potato salad. Was pretty sick as my side dishes are both potato based. Overall still not bad. Too bad i can't take spicy stuffs, so i can only take their tomato sauce. Chicken was pretty healthy style and it's

Chicken was pretty healthy style and it's quite tender too! However, due to the lack of service and waiting time, don't think it's really worth as the food are only average!

Heard alot about Nandos from friends, My hubby and i wanted to give it a try a few times earlier but because of the long queues, we drop the idea. There is one time, we where are Bugis around 5pm in the evening, there was no queue but the place was almost filled up. Overall, i think the food is just okie, price quite reasoanable. Don't think will want to come back to dine again.

There is always this snake queue outside Nando's that got me rather interested in the food served there so one fine day, even though we were rather hungry, my bf and I decided to joined the brave souls and queued for an hour plus.

I ordered a quarter chicken with grilled vegetables and old-styled chips as my sides (mild spicy) while my bf ordered half a chicken with peri chips and rice (lemon and herbs).The beverages looked interesting too so we ordered a coke based caramelized drink.

The peri-peri sauces were very interesting but I thought the garlic flavoured one didn't taste any much different from the mild spicy one. Nevertheless, they went well with the chicken which had a unique taste (so that's why people flock there) The chicken meat was tender and juicy with an addictive aroma. The only difference between old-styled and peri chips was that the latter had chili powder which made the chips yummier! The grilled vegetables were rather oily, making it a bad choice.

The drink was rather so-so, tasted almost like normal Coke. The service wasn't really fantastic, having difficulties to get the servers' attention at times. And the spot where we were sitting was rather bad, with the spotlight shining at my bf's face throughout the meal. Overall, it was an ok experience with good food. I'll most probably dine there the next time when there isn't a queue.

Anyhow, I never tried the resto before even back in my hometown and it's always, always empty and quiet back at home, before finally closing down for good. So I never got to try.

Finally decided to try. Being a newbie, my friend and I ordered the 1/4 with 2 sidelines. I ordered the fries and Mediterranean rice with mild chicken taste and coke. Took a real while to even serve the drinks even though it wasn't a full house being lunch time.

Without asking or pestering the waiter on where's our lunch, it came like about half an hour later. Was quite tired of waiting but when it came I was a bit happy of the portion - big! I was getting hungry.

The food: Fries with the said peri-peri sauce or whatever, it has no taste, really. Not recommended. Just plain fries.

Mediterranean rice: chose over the other type of rice, because the other, said by the waiter, is cooked with spices and stuff. This rice sounds safer. Just like a bit buttery and stuff. Nothing special.

The chicken, with just-ok tenderness with the sauce was new to me, but there was nothing special about this peri-peri which everone goes mad about. Used the garlic sauce on the table and the tomato souce, The garlic was pretty spicy though! Which is a bit good to give my eyes a tug to keep me awake


Didn't really tickle my tastebuds or whatever the flag says. Yes its edible and its good, but I prefer 4 fingers all over than this, hands down!

Be wary of the long queues if you are going on the weekends.

The ambiance is a little rowdy and tables are kinda cramps for us.
Tried their signature Peri Peri chicken Quarter on several different level.

The chicken is nicely charred, tender and with little fats.
The highlight have to be the peri peri sauce that comes with the chicken.
You can douse it with even more Peri-Peri sauce (Of diff lvl) provided at each table.

I think if without the sauce, there's nothing to rave about on the grilled chickens.

The sides are very standard 'western' sides selection. I dont know about others, but definitely nothing memorable to me.

Nice char-grill, tender, juicy, and with little fat. Great! This is their signature dish, so it can't really go wrong.

The chicken lived up to all the hype surrounding it- the meat was juicy, and the flame grilled treatment it was given made it have that very nice "chao ta" taste, something that is so sorely lacking in the so called "grilled chicken" that some places serve up nowadays. I'm proud to say that though not a chicken lover, i finished every single bite of it.

The food was great, but service, on the other hand, was very much terrible, to put it simply. Many reviews have talked about the ppor service already, but this has to be mentioned. For some reason or another, Nando's is a victim of it's own success. Sure, the flame grilled chicken will keep new comers coming again, but people like me who've already tasted it will most probably think twice about patronizing the place again, so much so when there's a queue to get in.

This being my first time to Nando’s, I ordered the recommended ‘Mild’ Peri-Peri level of seasoning for a quarter chicken with 2 sides – Peri-Peri fries and Mediterranean rice.

Well, the Nando’s chicken lived up to the hype when I bit into that juicy thigh. Flame-grilled and seasoned perfectly, it was one of the best grilled chickens I had in a long time. Savoury with a hint of spice and lemon, the succulent flesh bade me to finish it to the bone within minutes.

The Peri-Peri fries were excellent as well, dusted with their spice mix. But the Mediterranean rice was an extreme let-down, being just an ordinary bowl of butter rice with some corns, carrots and peas mixed inside. In what universe is that considered Mediterranean?

However the main negative experience at Nando’s was the poor service of the Nando’s staff. This has been noted by many other people as well, but as far as I know, Nando’s has chosen to treat the complaints like they don’t exist – much like their service.

We had to wait for 30+ mins just to get our bill and this was after hailing 3 different wait staff. And the restaurant was not really very crowded either. I know that we weren’t the only ones left out because I could see all the tables around me getting restless and constantly hailing the service staff.

To say I love chicken skin is an understatement, I am faithfully passsionate about chicken skin and often get furious to see chicken sans thy precious skin. While Nando's chicken is tender and I do love its smokey taste but it has no skin. Words cannot describe my pain. Thankfully, the peri-peri sauce was so delightfully spicy and tangy. The shiokness of the sauce made me live through my chicken dinner sans skin.

I went straight for the 1/4 chicken thigh ($13.90) with extra hot sauce and it went very well with the sides of coleslaw and mediterranean rice. The lacklustre sides were once again saved by the per-peri sauce. Towards the end of my meal, I tried the hot sauce and found it as spicy as the extra hot. Hmm, perhaps my tastebuds were numb by extra hot already. Anyway, I am craving for the sauce now that I am typing this entry. Totally regret not to buy a bottle back.

We also had the 1/4 chcken wing+breast with peri-peri chips and lime leaves potato ($13.90). The peri-peri chips were excellent on my first visit but seemed to be sitting around for awhile when we went for dinner again last Friday. Nevertheless, my dining partner found her chicken wing tender and delish too.

The drinks sound and look pretty enticing and we had the Madeira Red and Crisom Cola ($3.90 each) , both drinks went well with the spicy chicken but a tad too pricey for a casual dining outlet.

In short, I love Nando's peri-peri sauce and will love it much more if the good people can leave the skin on where it belongs.
