I have been to Nando's twice and it's rubbish it's just a pathetic chicken restaurant I'd rather go to KFC

It was just an average chicken burger that wasn't special at all

When I was little the ice cream machine came out too fast and we jhad to all share lots of ice cream om nom nom I wasn't complaining abiout too much ice cream i mean how can you have too much ice cream in the first place in anyway there is no such thing it's like a hobbit having too much food it just wont happen you know what i mean when hobbits eat so much they'll still want more so yo u know it's not really possible in the first place to have too much ice cream especially for a hobbit but perhaps they'd rather have a cake or a couple more but they might get a bit full but who knows hobbit eat loads ever day well a bit like frodo well he didn't eat a lot just that stupid elf cracker but hey if he could he would have had a second breakfast and two plates of those stupid elf crackers that give you no hungry all day but what a lie those other hobbits ate 4pieces lol they were still hungry what a lie lie lie liel ie

Only ever been once.
The only thing I liked was the peas with chili as a side. Th rest of it was nowt to write home about.

I'd sooner go to KFC one of the basic non-chain fried chicken places that are in every town.

I actually like Nando's

Not been for ages but my local branch is really good

I have the medium chicken breast in pitta, chips and halloumi.

Yum!

Only been once, it took ages to get seated and served, the atmosphere was rubbish and the food was average at best. I can cook much better chicken myself. I wouldn't bother going again. I ordered half a chicken plus 10 wings.

I've never actually been. I keep hearing people rave about it so maybe I should check it out. I did look at the menu but it didn't look too interesting.

Recently, in Portsmouth Gunwharf Quays.

It's good, cheap, hearty food which does what it says on the tin. I don't expect any degree of sophistication from Nando's, I just go there for a quick, tasty meal. I always have a half chicken in mango and lime with sides of either piri piri chips, corn or coleslaw. The extra sides of pepper dip and halloumi are also lush.

Never been, I don't like eating chicken unless it's free-range.

I'd echo the people who say they'd rather go to KFC. Miles cheaper and much nicer imo.

I love nandos!

Last time I went was about 6 months ago, I have to go to Coventry to get it so I don't go as often as I would like.

Think I had a chicken salad, I like their salads

I love Nandos! Somewhere quick to go with the girls for a catch-up lunch/dinner. I always have a medium double chicken wrap (love the chilli jam) with cheese and spicy rice. Haven't been for a while though

Ricky Gervais said he would never go to a Nando's in Coventry, I do not know why.

Went to the one at Fountain Park in Edinburgh.

Small chicken, watery soft drinks, inattentive serving staff, and the floor, table and chairs were all covered in a greasy film. No wonder they take payment upfront!

Won't be going back.

I've been to a few of them; canary wharf, clink st London bridge, Walton on Thames, Kingston on Thames and Staines. It's ok, well about exciting as chicken and hot sauce can get, but I agree with you about the greasy coating. In every branch without exception, there's a sticky greasy residue on the tables.

I've been there once. only memory was I came out of the loos to hear this Splat splat tyre noise and an assistant was stood at the back filling Heinz tomato kecthup bottles with some generic stuff. Also it was december but they kept leaving the doors open because they'd had a fire in the kitchen and it was smokey! We were freezing and kept getting up and closing them

Christ, it sounds like someone from CID interviewing you. Where were you at at 11:15pm last night? Who were you with? Did you murder this man?

Really don't like Nando's. Portions are small for the price, and taste wise it's nothing to write home about.

You always see massive queues for Nando's and I just don't get it. If you go large, you are spending about £12 on a main, you can go somewhere else and get much better food for that.

I go now and again, my partner and I usually get a red pepper dip, an extra hot meal platter and a side of halloumi.

Only every been to one Nados in Camps Bay Cape Town SA. really had quite high expectations for the chickens livers but it really just rated very average, Never been tempted to try in the UK though.

The last Nandos I went to was in Dubai at the greens residential district, whilst on holiday ... Prices were comparable to the ones In the UK .. But the service was much better in comparison to the one at starcity,birmingham (J6, M6)
