Food is tasty and affordable, the price let me think this might be a fast food restaurant, but it is way beyond it.
Chicken is juicy and cooked right on the point
The dining atmosphere is also great, very spacious and I like its decoration
Servers are also very friendly
Highly recommend

Since I ordered delivery, Atmosphere was a tricky one. I selected 5 stars because both my dog and I were grateful the food arrived on time (we met our delightful female delivery driver in the lobby)
and at dinner time, enjoyed the first of at least three meals from Nando’s. So, 5 stars for the Atmosphere in our studio apartment. Yum.

Used the Nandos website to order food. I called to ask that my chicken is well done and the young lady said she will let the cook know. I received my order and the lemonade is sour. The rice is burnt. The chicken is not well done and my kids have to consume this. And I only received one garlic bread and one brownie. I call and spoke with a manager and he asked me if I wanted to pick up second order. If I wanted to pick it up I would have came to the restaurant instead of having it delivered. I then asked for a refund and he told me that it would be 24 hours before he could process a refund. I am so disappointed. I want to add pictures but for some reason I can’t

I work down the street and every time I come here the food is fresh , staff are funny , kind, and compassionate. The bathrooms are clean and comfortable. These workers truly deserve a pay raise for how they go above and beyond. I hope the company is treating them right ! I even asked to use the restroom off the street (didn’t purchase anything) and they welcomed me – Hailey Ivy (159 N Sangamon suite 200) .

Very delicious and fresh chicken. They have a sauce bar with over 10 different yummy sauces to try. They have rotating seasonal sides as well which makes it more interesting for those who like to order and eat the same things frequently. Their mango aqua frescas are to die for!!! Sweet and tart and so refreshing! It’s a good restaurant for take outs and casual dining with no reservations required!

Went to Nando’s today and had the boneless chicken breast with mac and cheese and fries — absolutely delicious! Nando’s never disappoints. Please open a location in Fort Worth, TX!

Nando’s is one of my favorite restaurants. I don’t normally eat red meat, so chicken is a common protein in my diet. I get their medium-level spiciness sauce and their mashed potatoes are AMAZING! I always have my SHAZAM app open in the restaurant too because the music is fun and upbeat. I love the way it is decorated in there too. I have never been to the African continent, but if I ever get to go, Mozambique is on my list of countries to visit simply because of the peri peri spice.

Let’s talk about it! The lavender lemonade have a special kick to it! I promise you it’s good. The food is nice and hot with a cold drink. You have music lights not too bright! This place is a vibe!

This one-star rating is specific to the lunch hour and my most recent experience here. I have been a customer of Nando’s in the West Loop on multiple occasions, dining in and ordering online. This time I placed an order online at 12:15 PM to be picked up at 12:45 PM. I have placed the exact same order on previous occasions and have had no issue for the most part. This time my experience was significantly worse.
I go into the store at 12:43 PM and am greeted by a hostess, albeit friendly, who asks me if I’ll be dining or takeout. I state takeout, so she told me that I should wait to the side where they’ll call my name. She never asked me for my name, but it seemed like the process was a name would be shouted once an order was ready. On previous occasions, I have gone up to cash register area and my order is usually already ready.
At 12:50 pm, no one has called my name, so I find the closest employee to figure out if they have my order because usually one of the perks of ordering online is that it’ll be ready by the time selected. Someone interjects, I’m later told this is the manager Joshua, and asks me for my name. I give my name. He looks at the tickets that are in progress and tells me there are 14 orders ahead of me. I tell him I placed an online order more than 30 minutes ago, to which he responds, you’ve only been waiting 11 minutes because we’ve only received this order at 12:39, and more or less states that it’s not his problem. I try to show him the email confirmation I received of the order at 12:17, but he’s completely disengaged at this point.
I’m not sure what I did to warrant the rude and dismissive response, but objectively, I placed the order to avoid having to wait with the expectation that my $16 bowl would be ready at the selected time. I’m not sure how I’m responsible for their delayed POS system, but I would have been willing to overlook the delay if I had a decent customer experience, such as even indicating how much longer it would take. There are many corporate offices in the area, so it’s silly to presume people are able to wait for an unspecified time, during lunch especially, when they placed a takeout order online ahead of time.
The straw that broke the camel’s back is what I received after waiting almost an additional 15 minutes. Again, I have had this bowl before from this location. The one I received today did not reflect the $16 cost. On top of that, I was provided no silverware, which I couldn’t tell until after I returned to my office because the bag was stapled. I had to go hunting for a fork, which sounds easy enough, but my office avoids plastic ware. All-in-all, made me wish I ordered from somewhere else.
