NANDO'S

Nando's is like that reliable mate who’s always down for chicken and a laugh. It's clean, the staff are usually spot on, and the food is what you expect: hot chicken, good sides, and a casual vibe. The only hiccup is that sometimes it’s just, well, average. A few reviewers had their moments of dryness in chicken and service issues that can be as exciting as watching paint dry.

The takeaway side can be a mixed bag too, with some saying the wait is too long and the food’s a bit underwhelming. If you’re just after some decent chicken and a side of garlic bread, you won’t leave in tears. But don’t go in expecting a Michelin experience either. It’s your typical Nando's—good but can be better.
