Nandos is always a must hit fast food spot when in the city. This South African fast food joint serves incredibly juicy chicken, tasty sides, and great hot sauces.

Get any of the menu items, they’re all an A+. I got the skewer on this trip and it was so juicy.

I also suggest getting their XX-hot sauce. This is spicy but has amazing flavor.

Staff are friendly. The restaurant itself is pretty clean.

"This was my first time trying South African cuisine, and I couldn’t be more satisfied! The flavors were bold and fresh, making for an unforgettable dining experience. The vibrant atmosphere, great music, and excellent service added to the enjoyment. If you're in Chicago, this spot is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip. A big shoutout to Jessica for her outstanding service!"
