My first Nando’s was in 1998 in London. Let me just say it made an impact. We are lucky to have them in Oak Park. Their food prep is fantastic. The sauces are next level and the restaurant and service are really really great. Do yourself a favor have a party here. They also serve beer and wine. It’s next level good chicken. We’re lucky to have them in Oak Park. Insider tip get the olives.

This Nado’s peri peri location lives up to the 5 stars hands down such a rare rating these days! Ask for poppy the host she’s a sweet heart always attentive and supper helpful ! And Ashley was so chill and helpful ,she really knows her menu and got us right with our food ! The kitchen staff her is above and beyond clean and fast always hot ready food !The food quality is beyond compare the rice was seasoned so well and delicately delicious the mash potatoes have a nice smooth texture savory in every bite the fries were absolutely delicious, seasoned so well supper addicting. This place has a very nice palette of seasoning flavors and spices for the chicken that meets everyone’s preferences, we had the lemon and herbs chicken and the nice roasted skin and juicy hot seasoned chicken was perfect. Some of the cleanest well prepared chicken , definitely a fan favorite. There is a sauce bar of such creative flavors that made the dishes extraordinary. That lemon and herbs is just nicely light yet a punch of flavor as well as the medium nados sauce and that garlic herb sauce. They serve in extra clean decorative plates and give you glasses for fountain drinks how lovely, it elevates the experience of eating. The place is absolutely clean tables booths all the floors are POLISHED! The cashier and staff were had AMAZING moral great customer service and a happy staff makes a place SHINE! The manager checked on all tables to see if everything was fine and I felt so BEYOND welcomed the moment I entered to the moment I left. The bathrooms smell and look like they clean them frequently, supper comfortable restrooms and having the dinning music in the bathrooms elevated the privacy for one’s use and I absolutely love this. Truly appreciate a place that lives up to its greatness the staff deserve all the best especially the manager and cashier. A place that puts love into the food and environment is hard to come across. The decor is beyond romantic trendy supper cozy yet flattering it definitely suits all crowds of all sizes. Even has a big hit for take out! Such an extensive menu selection you must come!

I ordered the Peri-Peri Chicken Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot-on perfectly grilled chicken, fresh ingredients, and that signature Nando’s kick that makes every bite memorable.
A special shoutout to Popi, our server, who went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. She was genuinely helpful, attentive, and always smiling, you could tell she really cared about her guests.
Great food, excellent service, and a warm, friendly vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

I’m writing this review because I think it’s important for the owners to know there’s a serious issue. My chicken arrived through Uber Eats, and when I cut into it, it was very undercooked. I tried eating around the red, uncooked areas, but I eventually lost my appetite. My husband’s chicken breast was also slightly undercooked, and just seeing mine made him lose his appetite too.
I called to request a refund, but I was told I would need to come in—even though I live far and was already no longer hungry.
I usually enjoy the food here, but after this experience, I will not be coming back.

The chicken is the juiciest and best seasoning I’ve had on chicken The sauces available are amazing! The service is excellent and they go above and beyond, the atmosphere is that of fine dining but with prices you can’t beat I went for my first time and I am hooked, never will I get chicken from another place ❤️

The chicken was cooked perfectly but my sides was another story. I was given low portion of fries and my garlic bread wasn’t toasted at all! I don’t ever complain or write bad reviews but come now. I paid good money not for my food to be low quality.

Nice restaurant in Oak Park with a different taste and ambience.
Food is tasty and they can make it spicy as per your preferences.
I found it confusing to order and take food- whether to go to the counter or order from the table.
Also no clear signs on utensils and water.
Lighting is too dim and along with dark walls and decors the whole place seems gloomy. I hope they can make it more brighter and colourful.

I ordered a thigh and Mighty sandwich from this location. According to the description it is supposed to be 2 boneless thighs. They basically gave me one thigh that was broken into 2 pieces. This looks like a normal chicken breast sandwich that I paid more money for. I tasted more bread than chicken. Overall the sandwich wasn’t good. The guy at the counter provided good service but the food made this a terrible experience because this sandwich is not as advertised. I definitely say check your food before you leave.

Yummmmmm!!!
First time here…I was craving chicken wings. These are absolutely delicious. I ordered 12 and ate them all lol I like super hot spicy sauce and theirs was pretty good but not hot enough lol however the chicken was just melting off the bone. It was sooooo good.
The gentleman that greeted us was very accommodating. I did not get his name, unfortunately,
The guy who delivered our food seem to have some sort of disability, and unfortunately, I didn’t get his name either, but he was amazing!
Highly recommend
