Yesterday me and my family went to Nandos for the first time. I've wanted to go for quite a while now as its become very popular and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Basically its just chicken and chips. But its pretty amazing chicken and chips, and its not just that. Its the whole restaurant dining experience which makes the meal so much more interesting than any other restaurant. And having been I can really see why everybody loves it so much.
After quickly being seated the waiter came over and explained how everything worked. Its simple but genius. You pick what you want of the menu - I had the 'Chicken Breast Fillet Burger' with chips and a corn on the cob. Then you decide how hot you want it: plain, lemon&herb or mango lime, medium, hot and extra hot. I went for hot as I absolutely love spicy food. But even for me it was spicy, so be warned. Once everybody has decided you go up to the till and order your food and pay. You collect all the sauces, cutlery and drinks you want (which are refillable by the way) and then wait for your food. We didn't wait long it took about 5 minutes and it was all ready.
The food itself was absolutely delicious. The chicken was the nicest,softest, spiciest chicken I think i've ever had. It was topped with more sauce some salad leaves and a tomato. The combination was just amazing and I absolutely loved it. The chips were how chips should be, crispy on the outside but full of fluffy potato inside. The corn on the cob was crispy and juicy. The perfect side to the perfect chicken. The peri peri sauces on the side again were really nice too, I particularly enjoyed dipping my chips in them.
The rest of my family all really enjoyed their meals too. My youngest sister, who is 11, had the kids menu and it was the perfect size for her plus she got frozen yoghurt or a lolly with it. We all agreed we would definitely go again.
Overall I really enjoyed going to Nandos. I loved the way it worked and how busy and lively the atmosphere was. Because usually when we go to restaurants its either empty or loads of adults talking very quietly. I also think it was reasonably priced for the amount of food you get and it means that I could go with my friends and have a really nice lunch. I can't wait to go again and i'm already planning what to have next!
