I love Nando's
It's so nice wouldn't you agree?
Especially the mayonaise, puren gorgeous. Mmmm I could eat nandos chicken burgers for ever. I'm tempted to ask where they get their chicken from but I suspect their answer may be from a horrible farm with terrible condiitons so I've not asked cos then I'd have to stop going. |

I am not a big Nando's fan - the chips taste horrible, and the chicken is cruelly reared - bit of a bummer when the main dishes are chicken and chips. |

I lurrrrve Nando's! I normally get half a hot chicken, a mediterranean salad, chips, corn cob and coleslaw. The halloumi cheese starter thing is nice too. Oh, and the 'nata' (custard tart) is also yummy!

I love it; favourite fast food joint ever!
Veggie pitta (extra hot), peri-peri fries and a soft drink, in which I put Coke, Sprite and Fanta in to create a lovely two-tone effect drink! I wish, wish, wish you could buy the peri-peri spice in shops though. It's so nice! |

Oh so is the veggie pitta nice? U tried the bean burger?
I was tempted to go for the veggie burger today or the bean burger but I love my food and am really disappointed if I don't like it so I just stuck to the chicken which I knew I liked - safe bet. |

I beg to differ.
Its overpriced, and the fact that you have to go and order your own food at the till makes it reminisent of a transport cafe. |

Thanks for making this thread, OP. I had forgotten about Nando's til I read this, so I am off to Nando's in Castlepoint (near Bournemouth) in about an hour
![]() I have just checked the online menu, and there is a new halloumi and portabello mushroom burger that I need to try, plus I will be having my first ever EXTRA HOT chicken! They also have a new homemade lemonade, which sounds nice. Can't wait! |

It's not like veggie burgers you'd get at other places with actual veggies in them, it's more meat substitute 'stuff'! Quote:
Erm.... by 'the spice' I assyme you mean the sauce? If so, you can! I've certainly bough it in Tesco and Sainsburys and sure I've seen it in Waitrose. In fact, looking at Tesco online now I can see Nando Peri Ketchup, Extra Hot Peri Peri Sauce, Peri Peri BBQ sauce.. actually, why am I listing them... get shopping and see for yourself!!! I like frying up some chicken, potato wedges and red and green peppers covered in the Extra Hot sauce, only problem is the vapours get into my eyes and temporarily blind me!
I want the spice that they sprinkle all over the fries that makes them peri-peri fries! If you don't make your fries peri-peri when you go to Nando's, you are missing out! |

If you don't make your fries peri-peri when you go to Nando's, you are missing out! http://www.nandos.com/kitchen/spice_range.html ...sure there would be a stockist somewhere in the UK that would have these and help you recreate the great taste of peri-peri fries in the luxury of your own home! |

Nandos ... never heard of them. Another franchise food place? If so I'll steer clear as I like sustainable food. Tell me if I am wrong.

I had my first ever Nando's a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Had the peri-peri chips and I thought they were great. And whoever thought of putting pineapple in a chicken burger, is a bleeding genius!

The fare in Nados is Chav food at it's worst. The fact you have to queue up to be served as well is bizarre.
The supermarket sauces aren't bad though. |
