Nando's Peri-Peri Reviews
Had the worst service in my life - the food took nearly an hour (after 4 reminders to different staff members) the drinks a further 15 minutes and 2 further reminders - they also could not serve me the drinks I ordered. To top it off when I requested a chat to the manager to give some feedback he never arrived at all.
I’m from South Africa. This place just took me home. Well done guys. Definitely recommend this location
LOVE the medium Peri-Peri sauce

Nando's Peri-Peri is a popular destination for chicken enthusiasts, offering a diverse selection of chicken cuts and flavors. The peri-peri sauce, ranging from mild to super hot, adds an extra layer of deliciousness to the dishes. The Nandoca's Choice sandwich and ranch crunch salad are standout menu items, while the beans and rice also receive praise. The restaurant provides high-quality food at an affordable price and offers both counter ordering and table service at its DuPont Circle location.
Customers often find the food tasty and well-grilled, though some have noted that the service can be inconsistent, with staff sometimes turning customers away earlier than advertised. The ambiance includes some unprofessional touches, such as dirty shoes near the ordering area and unattended cups of ice, which can detract from the overall experience. However, the restaurant offers a QR code for dietary restriction information, making it easier for guests to choose suitable options.
Despite the occasional service and cleanliness issues, Nando's Peri-Peri remains a go-to destination for flavorful chicken in a casual setting. The staff is often friendly and helpful, with the manager and chef taking an active role in ensuring customer satisfaction.
