Outstanding Dining Experience at Nando’s Chicken – Fairfax, VA

From the very first bite, Nando’s Fairfax delivered an unforgettable meal that deserves a solid five stars! The chicken thighs, ordered hot, were cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and packed with the signature Nando’s flavor that balances heat and smoky char like no one else can. The spice was bold but beautifully layered, hitting just the right level of warmth without overpowering the taste.

The sides were just as impressive. The Brussels sprouts were roasted to a golden crisp, lightly seasoned, and had that perfect balance of crunch and caramelization that made them irresistible. The macaroni and cheese was pure comfort food, creamy, cheesy, and rich, with just the right texture in every bite. It paired wonderfully with the heat of the chicken.

And then came the grand finale: the bread pudding. Simply OUTSTANDING. It was warm, soft, and decadent, topped with just the right drizzle of sauce that tied all the flavors together. It tasted homemade, with a comforting sweetness that finished the meal perfectly.

The staff was friendly and attentive, the restaurant was spotless, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant and a true reflection of what Nando’s is all about.

If you’re anywhere near Fairfax and want a meal that hits every note of spicy, savory, sweet, and satisfying. Nando’s is the place to go. A must visit spot that leaves you already planning your next trip back!

Having ate the original Nandos while living in south Africa I was a little skeptical about it here in the states. It was almost as good. Great flavor loved the sauces and the Brussels sprouts were right on. Definitely will be going to Nandos locations here in the USA now.

The sauce is so good with the chicken or fries. Highly recommend if you like spicy food

We love Nando’s what else can I say. If you haven’t tried Nando’s before, then you gotta try it.

Good as always came hot and fresh with the Nandos signature taste!

The food is good, but the staff seemed overwhelmed and/or under ill-trained. The restaurant was not very clean. It looked like either the staff could not keep up or perhaps they did not care.

Chicken is great, but 50 cents worth of rice for $3.50?!

Great place,friendly staff

I love the food, the music and all of the decorations! Fabulous restaurant!
