Excellent food, service here is excellent. Go to the counter to order, they will assign you a table if you're dining in. Go sit and they will bring out your food. I ended up getting a dessert as well, which they brought out later. JP was out on the floor and did an excellent job checking on things. Will definitely come back!

Nifty Portuguese fare at Nando's. What a treat for the palate with sweet and savory dishes featuring their signature Peri Peri chicken with your choice of sauce and heat. My daughter got the traditional chicken with two sides and I got the Rainbow Bowl with chicken thighs. The real treat was the halloumi cheese with chili jam. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Look forward to returning for the great food at Nando's.

Being from the UK, we have at least four Nando’s near our local city, so we were surprised and found it funny to discover a Nando’s in Washington after three weeks in America. We were craving a bit of home comfort, so we decided to visit, and it was a really fun experience. The restaurant is located in Chinatown, which added a quirky twist to our visit.

This Nando’s was exactly like the ones back home – the same setup, same menu items, and same standard...
