Mr Bana , the manager .. absolutely made our evening.

From the moment we walked in, his warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism stood out. He was genuinely kind, thoughtful about recommendations, and made us feel welcomed rather than just “served.” It’s rare to meet a manager who is so present, so engaged, and so clearly invested in giving guests a great experience — but Mr Bana truly was.

The food was outstanding — perfectly grilled, juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you hope Nando’s will be at its best. Every dish was hot, fresh, and cooked beautifully. You could tell there was care and pride behind what came out of the kitchen.

Between the excellent food and Mr Bana’s exceptional service, this was one of the best casual dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. We left happy, full, and already planning to come back.

Huge thanks to Mr Banna and the team..
we’ll definitely be returning.

The food was okay, but it came in very disappointing portions. I ordered chicken thighs and a side for nearly $16 bucks and got a side of rice you could hold your hand and mere pieces of chicken that didn’t resemble chicken thighs. My friends laughed at how small my food was. Then their food came and I laughed at how small it was; he spent like $19. I had to order 12 wings for $20 to satisfy me. Quite disappointing portions.

I absolutely love Nando’s. Every time I go, it reminds me of home. The flavors, the peri-peri spice, and the overall experience are always comforting and familiar.

I visited on a Saturday 13th December evening around 10:30 PM, and we were mindful that they were close to closing. We ordered, ate, and left without staying long. The food itself was excellent, as always.

However, I ordered the peri-peri chicken bowl with a chicken breast and was surprised to receive only half a breast. I’m not sure if this is the standard portion or if it's because it was late in the evening, but it was a bit disappointing since there wasn’t much protein.

That said, the flavor and quality were still great, and I’ll definitely be back, just hoping for more consistent portions next time.

The food was good and the staff friendly. Its a bit expensive. Also it doesn't matter what spice level you order since you can choose from all the same sauces the kitchen uses and add any that you want.

I had the 1/4 chicken breast with a side, and since I can’t handle too much spice, the mango lime level was perfect. The chicken was cooked really well—tender and not at all chewy. My only tip: avoid sitting near the kitchen, because when they were frying with spices, the air made us cough quite a bit.
