Review from Debby D.

Superb! A friend wanted to treat my sis and I for lunch so I chose Nando's rather than going to a traditional full-service restaurant (Nando's is semi-self serve; you order at the counter and they bring the order to you.).
We chose the Familia family pack complete with one chicken, two kebabs, a salad (we chose Caesar), one large side (three potatoes) and one regular side (spicy rice).
The chicken and sides arrived. It was the juiciest chicken I ever had. I tasted a fantastic blend of lemon, herbs and spices and the the meat itself was succulent.
The entire ensemble left the three of us stuffed with plenty of leftovers for dinner. It's very cost friendly (the variety pack we chose cost around $36...$12 per person) and gave our tastebuds a fantastic sensation!
I highly recommend it. Next time, I'm trying the spicy fries! -

Nandos is wonderfully delicious !!! Their food has a kick to it, the perry perry fries extraordinary. It's basically a high class McDonald's ( service style) u order and pay first then sit down and they will serve you your food! It is a bit more than I expected pricing wise but again what isn't in Vancouver? It's delicious over all and well worth the money!

I kept seeing Nando's pop up everywhere I went so decided to eat one to quench my curiosity.
This particular location definitely needs some TLC in the ambiance department. Seeing a booth with duct tape failing to cover up a massive hole in the pleather = not very inviting. I'm sure the other newer locations are miles better.
We ordered the platter for two which comes with 1/2 chicken, 2 kebabs, 8 wings, and two sides. Albeit self-serve, we got our sides way too far in advance of receiving our protein. Consequently we gorged on the spiced rice and coleslaw (average).
Now on to the good stuff. Their chicken. I ordered the hot level, which was pretty mild. Kebabs had the most flavour and were nice and moist.
As chicken is just well chicken, I opted to slather my meat with their 3 sauces the had available (garlic, wild herb, and hot). Hot was my favourite.
Chicken is not something I order at restaurants unless it is radically prepared differently than what I can manage at home. Would I return to this location? Maybe if I never see duct tape anywhere again. -

I love Nando's chicken so much I would rather have this over fine-dining! It's crazy how good this chicken is!
Okay I've been eating Nando's for years and have been to most of their locations but buyer beware. It depends what time of the day it is to get the freshest succulent chicken....I still haven't figured out that one yet. Maybe someone has the pattern down? It's almost always good at this location comparing to others. I had a few misses hence the comment.
There are a few things that bother me like the chicken sandwich is disgusting. It's some prepackaged heavily preserved piece of blandness. It's not the same fresh chicken served like the breast plate for example.
Sometimes the cole slaw is too laden with dressing. The peri-peri fries are too salty but that's why I get the classic fries!
Sometimes when ordering the whole chicken I don't get two breasts and end up with something that looks like it but it's not. I still don't get that one.
The ambiance in this particular location could improve.
Service is great here.
Overall most of the time it's perfection. I usually get a whole chicken, fries, and cole slaw or Cesar salad! I sometimes get blown away how good this simple meal is.
If you're craving the real BBQ taste of chicken hands down this is a winner! -

My first encounter with Nando's was when I lived in Doha, Qatar. It quickly became comfort food while there.
So on a trip north, I took my family to Nando's so they could experience what I did.
And it was GOOD. The chicken was just as good as I remembered, the fries were nice, the pita bread and hummus was very yummy indeed.
I will note though that, unlike the Doha Nando's, they don't use metal skewers hanging down over the plate, and the chunks of chicken weren't as big as I remembered from the Nando's in Qatar. And they could use a kid's menu for the smaller, not as spice-friendly crowd.
Still, was VERY good indeed. -

A simple place to grab a nice spicy chicken! A great place to just grab a piece of chicken on the go or to hang out at the restaurant and eat with friends.
The food is spectacular, and the taste is very special. Very different taste from all the places I have heard for spices. Their regular fries are boring, but if you add some Peri Spice, DELICIOUS!! You don't even need the ketchup sauce on the side.
I love the style where the chicken is a bit charred at the ends because it give that BBQ roasted taste and it's delicious. I don't eat it because tons of cancerous hazards but it gives the chicken an amazing taste of smokiness. (This is what we Yelpers do to get the full effect of everything Teehee).
Overall, I will go again and I enjoy it A LOT. The only negativity is that I dislike the whole "buy food and pay first" then get food and sit. It could just be me, but it is hard for us, as customers, to give them tips onto the same bill. -

I heart Nando's chicken. It's always good, no matter which one you go to, and just spicy enough to leave a fire in your mouth without having to gasp for water. Well, I go for medium spice, but the more daring can choose hot or super hot, and "peri peri virgins" can have their lemon and herb.
I like that it's a fast food restaurant, but is also licensed for beer and wine, and they bring it to your table. When eating in, I love to get the spicy rice for a side. It's so delicious, they should publish the recipe or something. When I get take out, it's the peri-peri fries all the way. Mrf. Can't talk. Nando's. -

Got the $25 bundle to go... for an enormous bag of various chicken parts. Ready in about 10 minutes.
This is my first Nando's experience, the only things I'd improve on is another option for sauces.. and slightly larger wings (they looked a little small compared to others I've seen). -

Gotta have my Nando's fix once a week. If you're looking for a quick good meal, i would suggest Nando's. Medium hot is good, unless you like it spicy, then the hot hot is for you.

I love Nando's but I don't know if this location is the best. I've often come here to order the chicken pita and the pita was too dry or they didn't put enough of the right vegetables or sauce. The service here isn't as great as the other locations either. If you're searching to go to a Nando's in general, I wouldn't make this location your first choice. If you're looking for a Nando's for convenience, and this is the closest one, then do go here (which is why I go here). A mediocre Nando's is better than no Nando's at all!

I worked up in this area for awhile and i love Nanado's. Usually order a half or whole chicken super hot and so wonderful, perfectly cooked and such great flavor. I miss Nando's and Vancouver, can't wait to go back
