Nando's

[Pearcey]

Went with my girlfriend to Nando's last night, but when we got there it was queued out of the door, and mad busy on a Tuesday night.

Why is Nando's so popular? It can't just be the Chicken...

It's not too cheap like Mac and BK and it's not too expensive like a flashy restaurant.

I think that's why.

 

[Blue4ever85]

Because its near Cineworld?

Well.....the one in Ashton is anyways.....

I don't think that's too far wrong. It sells proper chicken as opposed to processed shit, thus making it much healthier, and tastes better

It's because all the meat is halal which makes it extra popular. Plus piri piri sauce is well fit! xxx

I've had it once and it was ok. Maybe it's just fashionable at the moment, abit like Starbucks.

piri piri was originally Portugese and they exported it to their colonies in Southern Africa where it was then taken up by South Africa which is where the Nandos brand comes from.

Jesus wept, I didn't know that. I won't be going there again then. Barbaric!

concur with the last poster, they are mad for it in South Africa, where you dont see american burger bars. Although KFC is highly popular aswell.

 

[Stato]

[TFC]

[ibbo]

i think its really shit. i cant get me head round paying good money to have to spend 20 minutes queuing up to get in, then once youv got in looking at the greasy menu that always has bits of other peoples meals on it. once you have had the honour of looking at that you then get to rise from your chair again to go to order food like you are in a pub; but unlike a pub you have to pour your own drink if your not after something alcoholic. then they hover around you to encourage you to eat your chicken as fast as you can before the next mug sits down.

as you can see im not a fan.

 

[Pearcey]

I'll be honest, I thought it was nice... but nothing special... And it's baffling the way you have to order your food at a bar...

I couldn't believe how busy it was... and how big the queue was.

I'd have it again, but I'd probably phone ahead and get it as a takeaway.

Philbo made a good point, there were a lot of Asian families in there (probably because of the halal thing (which I didn't know about)
