Review from Sarah C.

This is the first time I have been to this place.
The chicken was very juicy and I got a simple lime sauce that was even spicy but so good! I can't imagine how hot the hottest one is.
The fries were also awesome! Only problem I had with this place is that is was really overpriced. -

Another one of my lunch time haunts.
Great service even when the location is smokin busy, I always get a smile and am greeted politely.
Price? Meh. While it is good eatin most of the time (see next point), I can't justify making this a daily/every other day option for dining due to how much it costs. Yes, the peri peri is what makes Nando's "special" but I'd love to see their profit margins when lunch for two people comes in at almost $32. I noticed this location changed hands recently and the prices went up at least 50cents per item across the board AND they discontinued their BBQ sauce...? Minus one star.
Food lost a star simply because I think their quality control needs a little bit of work. Sometimes the kabobs/burgers are amazingly juicy and seasoned/cooked to perfection. Sometimes the chicken barely has any flavor, the meat is full of gristle and terribly chewy - for the record, I am one of those people that cannot HANDLE crunchy/chewy bits in my food... Grosses me out to the max. I always mention something when my order isn't perfect and they replace it right away, but come on.
Nice every once in awhile, but not a staple. -
Review from Edward L.
Seriously, Nando's is one of those places that never fail to impress. They have different flavours of chicken, from mild and spicy to lime and others. Today I had a chance to eat their catered lunch and it was awesome, as expected.
The catered setup is different from your typical meal. For example, the green onions and sour cream come in one large container. This actually makes it a bit difficult to serve when you're in a buffet-style line. However, the salad came pre-drenched in salad dressing, which made things a lot easier.
As for their chicken? It's somewhat healther because of the way it's cooked (barbecued, not fried), and their marinades really do lock in the flavour. I think I'm going to dream about the chicken I had for lunch today. -

First time here and I loved the food. I was on vacation and was bummed I'd probably never go back, and then I found that there is another location right by me in Gaithersburg!! Excellent food, and I really liked the sauce. Would absolutely return.

I'm a vegetarian, but this is Vancouver so.. Let's see what they've got!
Well I ordered a veggie burger with fries and hummus.. It's got a nice decor, seems happening with a nice place to sit and eat. You get a little number and can snuggle in a booth, something that can be hard to find in Yaletown!
I realized our burger didn't come with hummus so I asked the server and they said they forgot it. They said we could have it but we would have to be charged for it.
Really? You're going to make us get out of our chair and pay again for hummus because someone forgot it? I am always sympathetic with servers but I was peeved that she thought we would have to pay with it and we sort of had a little argument about it. Eventually I said no.. I'm not going to get up and pay again.
We kept eating.
The manager eventually came over and apologized.. but we never got any hummus.
It wasn't really a matter of money just the convenience of not having to go up and whip out your cash again!
Anyway... The prices aren't that great and we won't be going back. A little lackluster. -

I called to preorder and told the person who answered about this coupon that I had ... She told me that the discount would be taken off when I came to pick it up and presented the coupon
So when I went to pick it up , gave the coupon and she refused !!! I asked why she stated that she would over the phone and she replied that she takes some coupons but the the one I had ?!? (Even though it said valid at all locations ! ) She told me to call their head office and take it up with them ...
She probably thought that i would just agree to pay the full price but As a matter of principle ... I told her to cancel the order !
I was kinda choked . I paid for this coupon book and used it all over the city with no issues ...She stated that the company that printed this coupon didn't take the company permission and this coupon wouldn't be valid anywhere ... It's a scam (FYI .. My mom hAs a restaurant and she advertised in the same book and they are a Legit company).
I decided to try this coupon at the nandos on cornwall and see what they say. Called ahead again and told them about my coupon .... And they didn't even hesitate taking it...
I'm not cheep but if your going to advertise something .... Keep your word !
For all the times I've gone there not using the coupon book , they have lost my business for the one time they refused me with the with ... -

This is place is always hot or miss. The chicken is above average and truly beats your chain fried chicken offerings. The sides, with the exception of the peri peri fries, are somewhat ordinary. This location has a decent ambiance, but if you are in downtown could one not put some effort and find something else to eat.
All in all a decent chicken with some good spicy flavours. -

Nando's Chicken was the first restaurant/food we ate in Vancouver. I keep asking myself why we don't have a Nando's Chicken in San Francisco. I ordered the half chicken with peri peri chips. OMG it was so good. I recommend the hot sauce. My son also loved his chip breast. I also purchased a few bottles of the Nando's hot sauce. If you have never tried Nando's Chicken you don't know what you have been missing. The restaurant was very clean and service was excellent. I wish while visiting Vancouver we came back. I think this weekend I will BBQ chicken using Nando's sauce.

hmm not my cup of well chicken kabob.
IT was ok. Thats it. Over priced. WAY OVER PRICED
First visit, likely my last. LOved the venue, SUPER CLEAN.
Food was mediocre. If you can not get a Kabob and rice
done properly i'd say nothing else would be ok.
Serious rice was bad. NIce people. Ok experience.
Will not go back cuz its too expensive for what i get and the menu selection is very weak.

There's a Nando's on Davie now!
Came here for dinner on Saturday night. Two can dine for $14.99 with 4 pieces of chicken and 2 sides. Great healthy meal for a good price. Gotta love it! -

BEST BIRD IN TOWN!!!
l remember hearing so much about it but since they didn't have a location in downtown at that time l didn't try it until l went to this pool party sponsored by the beat 94.5 and nando's chiken, l was sooo amazed by founding the best chiken l've ever tried, l even got coupons for free chicken in that event, l've been to portugal and tried the frango asado but this is way better!!! so happy to find a place where l can healthy eat in Vancouver, l feel like back home eating "pollo asado" -

Luv the food and the prices are great. I am allergic to gluten and depending on who you ask about gluten in the menu items they may or may not know what you are talking about. The piri chicken seems to be safe but the fries are a no go unfortunately. Bought some piri bbq sauce to take home. It was awesome and made good bbq chicken pizza!

Filling at best. Spiced with Tabasco... Not sure what the hoopla is about this place. At that price one would expect better rice than 'boxed'. Very underwhelming for a first visit.

this place has pretty good food ... the chicken is tasty ... i am not super impressed with the prices ... three dollars for a small french fry is a bit much if you ask me especially when the size is very very small .... i did order a chicken caesar salad which was 10 dollars and it was made with lettuce that was still somewhat wet making the dressing quite runny ... the salad was also made of many of those hard spines of romaine lettuce and i am sorry, but when i am paying 10 dollars for a SALAD, the least it can be made of is the actual lettuce ... i fed my dog all those spines which was almost half the salad ... but the chicken is tasty, i can not deny that .... i guess i will go there when i am in the mood to spend a little more money for just chicken ... i do find the prices a bit high for what you get ...
