First time trying Nando's - Is it worth the hype?

[@calumvaughan8690]

I used to work at Nandos and it was heavenly. They give you like £12 allowance per shift, and if you do a split shift, that means you get £24. Tried every damn combination of food on that big ass menu. They really looked after us too... lots of free parties and events, good company culture. I wish you tried the Extra Hot Chicken Livers man, they are TIGHT YO!

[@codestuff6231]

[@RoninZX-]

@@codestuff6231 its just a preference things, liver is just a wild thing to me. Ive had nearly all types and i cant get over the actual liver taste it has, seasoning only masks the flavor to an extent

[@calumvaughan8690]

bro I agree with normal shitty liver, ckinda gross, but Nando's livers are incredible. Tbh they're probably the most unhealthy thing on the menu lol, full of incredible flavor. the texture is pretty weird if you've never eaten liver before, but it goes amazing with coleslaw and rice when it's extra hot. my only problem with it is that it gives me explosive diarrhea literally 10 minutes after finishing eating it, but it's so damn good that it's worth it lmao . @@RoninZX-

Yo Ben, you gotta give us your opinions of British food at the end of ur trip. We get a bad rep but I feel like that’s mainly by people who haven’t been here / have seen some dodgy looking meals on social media

[@YungRamo]

people like to pretend jellied eel and beans on toast are the only two foods we have

[@Samirxkhan]

@@YungRamo well, they're not wrong. Probably a handful of foods to list. Roast Dinner, fish and chips, beef wellington, shepherds/ cottage pie. a pastie. And everything else is a variation of whatever I listed with potatos or meat prepared in different ways with minimal seasoning and no spices. So yes, it is quite bland in comparison to other cuisines.

[@Jimmyconway77]

@@SamirxkhanI take it you haven’t tasted any of these cos that’s a pretty elite line up right there. A lot of food can be bland mate it depends on how it’s prepared. Even the roast I used to have for school dinner wasn’t bland 😅

[@Happiness11100]

Nandos is one of my favs, grilled, beautiful, spiced chicken thats pretty consistent. I normally go with Garlic bread and chips. Always get extra packet of the spicy powder for chips and extra sauce over chicken is essential, i normally go hot chicken with garlic sauce over the top. The options are endless...only downside is it costs a fortune.

It would be interesting to see you go to one of dodgy chicken corner shops that im sure youve seen around (chicken corner, dixys ect). Very cheap, suprisingly good, definitely a london staple and something you should give a try while you're here.

Come to south London and try Morley's, it's our chicken and chip shop, they are everywhere, fried chicken spot, mostly eaten after a night on the beers. Also there's a large Jamaican/Caribbean community here and we have amazing Carribbean takeaways if you want any recommendations let me know 😂

[@JohnBainbridge0]

We've got Nando's in Canada. Love that stuff! Extra hot with extra, extra hot sauce always.

[@Lilah1848]

Nando's sauces are elite and make the meals in my opinion. The big share bottles and takeaway sauce sachets you get taste 10x better than the little bottles you can buy in supermarkets for some reason. I was watching this thinking "why isn't he eating the sauce!!".

[@mehitabel6564]

Man, you are the most efficient eater I've seen. Bravo! Nandos knocks the socks off fried chicken. It's a good healthy option, I always go for boneless chicken thighs extra extra hot, plus rice and greens. There are other vegetable sides as well. You can get the extra extra hot sauce in the black bottle. That's nice.

[@francoiscloete7717]

[@massapin9293]

I just love how sweet and well cooked the chicken is at nandos, I've had it cooked poorly like once in the 30+ times I have been, which is surprising when it is literally just students that work at nandos.

[@markjones-rc1nm]

if you do buy the bottles and make your own 'Nando's', buy two little bottles..add one of them to a whole chicken the night before, so marinade overnight, warm the other bottle up whilst the chicken is cooking, once the chicken is cooked, stir the juices in the bottom of the pan, so you capture all of that cooked goodness, and then add some of that stock / juices to the warm sauce (not all of it, as you dont want it too runny) and use that to dip your chicken in as you have here..YUM

[@Drownedinblood]

I went to the one in DC like 10 years ago and it was good but nothing mind blowing - I've had better from local Peruvian chicken spots. Maybe it was just an off day or the quality is higher at the UK locations idk

It’s not meant to be mind blowing it’s loved here so much because it’s very easily accessible there’s literally one everywhere and it’s very good quality grilled chicken so it’s a clean eat. The peri peri sauce/salt is what makes it stand out. It’s something you eat when you want a takeaway but don’t wanna feel like shit after

[@reggins86]

It's expensive here in the US. Over $30 for a whole chicken /w two sides. I used to be able to get a 1/2 chicken two sides for $8 (now $14) before Biden became president at my Peruvian chicken spot and it tastes way better.

Ah you need some perinaise (peri peri Mayo)with that … their sauces/ marinades/ Peri peri salt etc are amazing, they sell them in most supermarkets (I’ve got them all lol 😂) I often make the spicey rice too, the recipe is on their website… i marinade chicken thighs, make up the rice and a big bowl of salad with peri peri chips … Nando’s “Fakeaway” for a fraction of the cost lol (their starters are good Hummus with pitta bread, great with medium hot garlic sauce drizzled over the hummus and grilled halloumi with chilli jam is really good) again I often just make my own but use Nando’s chilli jam

In the early 80s, used to order a chicken for Sunday lunch, go over take a number and wait 2 hrs for your chicken. A young couple had a hole in the wall place. Sold to Nando and it was great until they started franchising. It is now all over the world. Not in Portugal as there is better chicken on every street corner.
