The place looks nice and aesthetic but the food is off. Of all the Nando’s i’ve been to, this place has the least amount of serving sizes.
They gave us almost little to no portuguese rice despite ordering a LARGE. The chicken also tasted different, like it was cooked too fast? It’s supposed to be juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Our chicken looked not cooked enough both in and out.
I ordered both in the counter and online and downloaded the app on the spot to get the points but for some “technical reason” according to their manager, my barcode and receipts won’t scan in the app so i can’t get the points. I also tried to ask one of the workers for help printing my receipt but all of a sudden she “cant” print because she can’t find my online order. Our table with food in it was literally few feet away from the counter lol.
Then they had the audacity to ask us to “review” them. Well here’s my review! Provide better help and better tasting food and not be on your phone ‘choosing music’ to play all the time.

Just got home from picking up a family platter from Nando. My large side of rice and fries was incredibly tiny. Recommend you check your food before taking out the door.

Nando’s, what can I say? It’s the best. The food is always on point, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. I honestly can’t get enough of it and keep coming back for more. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out.

Food is amazing I loved the authentic South African food. I loved the food pity the music was a little loud.

It was Great. The young lady who took my order was pleasant to interact with, and allowed me time to decide what I wanted (with this being my 1st time).
In addition, service by Kyree was good. As he made sure I didn’t have any questions nor issues… And that my food was good.
Lastly… The food was Amazing! I quickly messaged my wife to let her know the next time we are in the area, we Must visit Nando’s PERi-PERi!

I love this chicken. Two thighs and legs, and an order of wings with rice is a solid and extremely flavorful meal for two. The chicken is seasoned really well, and cooked perfectly, with a nice sear and caramelization.
While flavorful on their own, the sauces are a must. I love the peppery lemon and herb “extra mild” — but of course the hot sauces are great. Medium was quite spicy for my low tolerance palate.
The space is huge and nicely decorated. I came just with my girlfriend, but it’s certainly good for a casual large group or party. The ambiance is nice and as comfortable as the food, with large tables and South African music in the background.
Much of the experience is self serve; but, the servers there were quite friendly.
The location is on a very cute block of H street NE. Can’t speak to parking as we took a cab to the area.
Will definitely be back.

I adore Nando’s and don’t have any locally in my state or anywhere near, so I get DC Nando’s every trip. This location is particularly awesome, the food is amazing and the staff is so welcoming and helpful. It’s a good time when I got here to H Street and I will stop by multiple times a trip!

The service was excellent, with everyone being friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and flavorful, and we particularly enjoyed the bowls.

Delicious food! Loved that you could pick the spice level, there was a variety of flavor, and they provided all the sauces so that you had the option to dip. I also loved the vibe of the place friendly, great architectural structure, and beautiful artwork. We were a group of seven and no one had a single complaint, only praise!

I went to Nando’s only because I miss going there back in the UK after moving here.
Felt nostalgic ♀️
Finally got to enjoy something familiar again in a different country. Loved the chicken and their hot sauce, magical ♀️!
The only thing I didn’t like was their services, it wasn’t the best. Hope they do better…
