Nando's - GLEBE

Tried Nandos for the first time in Washington DC, USA and was surprised to see it over here also! Never let's me down and the food was fresh and the corn

My first experience was delivery and it was first time having Nandos off of a recommendation.

So delicious! I had the chicken beast in pita with which was great and my husband had the chicken breast burger.

I never review large restaurant chains. But as I was eating my delicious piece of chicken tonight I was reminded just how good this place is, and I wanted to share that with the Zomato world. I also thought that it's elitist to be so discriminatory, so I'm glad I turned the corner on that. I went with the hot sauce, spicy rice and a salad - everything was really good. But the chicken is an absolute standout - they truly have a special formula here.

I hadn't visited Broadway shipping centre in months (I was a regular here before I shifted to the suburbs). I was happy to notice that the food court was now operational (it was being renovated while I stayed in the city, months ago). I decided to have a bite at Nando's. so in I went! It was a busy Sunday afternoon, and in spite of a lot of people queuing up at the counter, only one out of two counters were manned. Pretty strange, although someone eventually started operating the other counter too (but not before a long and unnecessary wait). I ordered a veggie Pita with Peri Peri chips. It took a long time to arrive (although the staff member apologised for it). Instead of Peri Peri chips, I had been served regular chips! I then realised that I had forgotten to specifically mention TWICE to the the staff, while placing the order, not to make the mistake of serving me regular chips! This has been an issue for me at several Nando's outlet. Unless I reiterate more than once that I want peri peri chips, they serve me regular chips 75% of the time. I can't seem to fathom why Nando's staff mess up a simple order, when I am ordering something right from their menu and not even requesting any customisation! I could have asked for a replacement, but that would mean another 20 minute wait. So I didn't. The food was pretty good, but the other issues kinda prevented me from enjoying it. Nando's does serve decent fare, but their staff certainly need to be better trained. Food - 3/5 Service - 1/5 Ambiance - 4/5 Value for money - 3/5 Overall - 2.5/5
