It’s a pale imitation of the original SA Nando’s that was takeaway only with much better quality chicken and proper Portuguese spices.
Although that was years ago !

I've been to Nandos once, and got it delivered at work once. Both times, the food was splendid. Far, far superior to KFC. Nandos chicken is very moist, and the range of sauces and sides is also good. Little bit pricey for what it is, but I'd still rather go there than other fast food places (excluding privately run Indian or Kebab houses). Every KFC I've had was worse than the last. The smell of the place is enough to put me off now. The chicken is flavourless, grey and soggy. The coating is not what it used to be. The chips are always cold, soggy, flavourless and have just the right amount of skin on them to be annoying.
Regarding the "cheeky Nandos", I think a much better description would be to say it's an unplanned visit, especially when you've been drinking and/or it isn't really meal time

Tend to be in town centres, or out of town shopping places.
Popular with families, teens, students
Pretty poor for non meat eaters (and avoiders of fake meat)!

We have them here in the states too. Mrs K and I enjoy it. Mostly different meals made up of chicken grilled on order with various levels of peri peri sauce & African spices including birds eye chili peppers. Sections of chicken, cut up and added to salads, or kebobs. From mild to extra hot. Various veggies… grilled corn, various squash. All quite tasty, though a bit pricy. Although we’re at the point here that there is nowhere that isn’t expensive, and if there is, they won’t be able to stay in business for long. We haven’t been to Nandos since pre-pandemic, but once we ever start eating out again, we’ll enjoy Nandos, if they manage to stay in business. 😋

@Electric_Andy agreed. We had a kfc delivered at work the other week and it was awful compared to how I remember it, overpriced, poor quality and smaller portions.
Often eat Nandos when out of town with the gf as she's a bit of a fussy eater and knows she'll get sorted there. I dont mind it, 20% off for NHS staff helps and think the quality is pretty decent as far as chain places go.

Popped my Nando's cherry yesterday. There appeared be 20% of the tables vacant but still had to wait 20 mins to be seated and by the time we were seated it was about half full. I think there's something going on; making it appear more popular than it actually is.
The food was nice (4 thighs, spicy rice and broccoli), the sauces were too. The drinks menu was lacking though. Nothing hot.

Clearly understaffed (like most places nowadays). They certainly used to sell coffee so that’s odd (they have definitely cut their non meat menu back since Covid, so maybe the coffee machines have gone too)

I went to one in Darwin, Northern Territorys. Our host liked the defrost, re freeze, defrost, refreeze method of food prep. We needed a meal that we didn’t feel the need to hide in a plant pot.
It was ok but nothing to get excited about. It did not appear cheeky. It didn’t answer back or owt, it just sat silently and a bit forlornly, on a plate. Maybe it was having a bad day. Being eaten will probably do that
