It's getting on my tits how much people bum Nandos.... the portions are terrible the food is totally basic and it is soooooo overpriced.

£7 for a pita bread with a small morsel of chicken in it served with a tiny ramekin of mash? **** off.

I'll admit the food does taste nice.... but it's chicken with sauce on it.... not exactly impossible to make yourself and I feel the price they charge, the level of noise in the place, the low level of service (if I'm at a restaurant I'm paying an elevated fee for the food for service... I therefore don't agree I should have wade through a restaurant full of screaming children and idiotic ****ing emo pre pubescent toss rags in order to get a glass of ****ing watered down lemonade....) is totally ridiculous.

Anyone else agree it's overpriced and over rated?
 
Yep. I've had three Nandos in my lifetime, which is two too many (you have to try these things at least once) and I never plan to go back unless it's for a birthday celebration or something.

All three of my Nandos have been at different restaurants and each of them had turdy, slow staff and the food was crap.

I'd rather go to KFC.
 
I agree it's over-priced, but, being a student, I get a load of leaflets that get me like, a free half chicken when I spend a fiver. So, I spend the fiver on getting drinks, sides etc, then get the chicken, so I basically get everything for a fiver, when isn't expensive.

I do think it's ****ing gorgeous though. I have the sauce at home, and so I always make my own with it <3 Very nom <3
 
I don't particuarly like how they serve people by queuing, being told where you're sitting, ordering then being sat down...feels weird at a restaurant.

The food is ok, nothing WOW as people keep raving about. I've had much more satisfaction from KFC, probably get more meat for your money (I had a 1/2 chicken and was scraping meat off the bone as there was so little....).
 
I love Nandos!

I agree that perhaps it is a little overpriced, but then again which chain of restaurants (excluding fast-food) aren't? Frankie & Benny's is outrageously priced, and TGI FRiDAYS aren't exactly cheap either.

I usually get the double fillet burger, chips, garlic bread and a bottomless soft drink - this usually sets me back around £11, which I don't think is too bad. The food tastes terrific, and I've never had a problem with the size of portions either.

I'd agree that they need to ditch the queueing for food though. That is a bit crap. Other than that though, I love it! Haven't actually been for quite awhile (only 2 more stamps on the loyalty card for a free whole chicken?!)
 
Maybe I'm going to very posh Nandos, but your experiences all seem to be very different from mine. It's always rather nice when I go in. And the food is great. A little bit expensive maybe, but nothing worth complaining about.

I was thinking the same thing... Whenever I've been in a Nandos, I always seem to get good enough service. Admitadley the food is overpriced, but like Mackem Lad said, where isn't these days. I love the food at Nandos.
 
Been once.

Liked it well enough.

Never felt the need to rush back.

Never felt the need to touch myself over it.
 
The food is mediocre at best. It's expensive for what it is too.

I'm not going to avoid going there, but I wouldn't bother unless the people I'm with at the time particularly want to go.
 
I know people who eat at Nandos at least once a week, and I just think "What's the point?".
The food's decent (but not THAT great), but it is very expensive for what it is (but then again, the people who I know that go every week are the same people who are having a go at me for booking my flights in a travel agent with them and then pointing out afterwards that it's actually £150 cheaper online :|) and the service is zero.

I will go to one if I'm invited, but definitely no more than once every couple of months.
 
Never been, my boss went for the first time at the weekend and was moaning about it.

I'd imagine it's like Frankie & Benny's where they pretend you're in a real restaurant, but in actual fact it's just a fast food restaurant with real plates. Like Wimpy used to be... haha. Bender in a bun.
 
I do quite enjoy Nandos but I do have a problem with the price. For what I get (a chicken burger with fries and garlic bread and a drink) comes to £10. That is quite a lot of money to me for a place that's just meant to be a 'fast food' type of restaurant. And like others have pointed out, you can buy the Nandos sauce in supermarkets so can make it at home yourself, which I often do and find it's a lot lot cheaper.
 
It's totally over rated. The one I've been to the most in BlueWater is actually really ****. The food's nothing spectacular...well, it's okay but nothing to hyperventilate about like so many people do.

The thing is, although it's already been said, you really can just pop into your local Co-Op or Sainsburys and buy the food that's basically the same as you get in Nandos for way cheaper.

I just don't see what the fuss is all about.

Never been and don't care about it, but Martyn needed recognition for this fab paragraph :)

No restaurant should make you go to a till to order your food </3

That's exactly what my boss was moaning about, and if you want another drink apparently you have to go to the till, same with a dessert.

That's mad, surely hiring some waiting staff would make money in the long run because of the "do you want dessert" or "do you want another drink" questions?
 
I'd never even heard of them until people on here started mentioning them.

I've never seen one of their restaurants,and don't even know where the nearest one is around here.

Not that I have a strong urge to track one down.
