Yes, it is. Wesley Snipes used to eat it everyday while shooting Blade.

You know when a place is good when you have most of their sauces/salts in your kitchen for home cooking/snacking

Peri Peri fries are amazing.
Chicken quarter leg is the best ive ever had. the rest is ok. Their sandwich is decent but overpriced.

South African franchise that snatched the whole menu and vibe from Portugal.
It's okay, UK white boys under 20 think it's #1 date spot.

I don’t like it as much as others rave on about it.
It’s a decent 6/10 for fast food.
Chicken salt (come to Aus) > peri peri when it comes to fries.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
I can't stand it; over priced tat. But then I'm middle aged so have no reason to go there.

Ever since they stopped selling chicken livers I haven't been back. Can get better chicken pieces and burgers in other places.

Nando's awesome no bullshit fastfood that doesn't feel too much like fast food.
It's overpriced, but pretty awesome for what it is.

It's good in South Africa. Haven't tried it elsewhere. Now I'm wondering if the international "hot" is the same as the South African "hot"

That chicken looks like a better version of a local chain called Pollo Rico

I really like it, but I wonder how well it'll do in Houston. It's popular in the UK because there aren't a lot of other good chicken places here (it's mostly KFC and a bunch of fake KFCs) but I'm sure in Texas you can't move for great places to eat meat, so I'd imagine Nando's won't stand out as much, unless its reputation elsewhere makes it more popular.

Ive only been to Austin but I think the fact that the its grilled chicken and not fried chicken will help it stand out.
Most BBQ places in texas are known for their beef bbq, and nandos peri peri sauce and juicy chicken is just leagues ahead of the bbq chicken they cook.
Ive been to Nandos in Chicago and D.C and it was always packed years after they opened. Once people taste it, they will know its the real deal and will keep coming back. Especially since its more healthy than most fast food trash like popeyes and kfc.

Dealing with the Galleria is a hassle, but worth it for some cheeky nandos.

I live in London, where you can get food that isn't shit, or from a chain restaurant, so no. Nando's is not good.

Do they not get chicken salt that far west?
I know you’re left out like a red headed step child a lot, but surely you have chicken salt?

Both KFC and Macca’s use chicken salt. Who’s gonna claim that they are better?
Rockondevil

Can’t confirm KFC but I doubt it does. But Maccas absolutely does not.
I’m a frequent eater there and occasionally they’ll offer the shaker fries in chicken salt but it isn’t the same as a proper fish and chip shops chicken salt.
I feel sad for you guys over in WA. We’ve obviously neglected you too much. More so than Tasmanian it would appear.
If you can find it try the below but really you need to go out and find a 10/10 fish and chip shop.
This’ll be my last post on the salt though as we’ve gone off from the original thread.

Nando's is great. We lived close to one in Sydney, now we moved way north and the nearest one is around 3 hours driving, oh my heart yearns.
Make sure you get the hottest level they do, it is flavourful but still super tame.
Speaking of spice, I wish that Turtle Bay (a Jamaican restaurant chain in the UK) would come here too
Cheeky edit: I concur with all of the love for chicken salt, that stuff is mind blowing

Next you’ll say that you put vinegar on your chips as well.Can’t confirm KFC but I doubt it does. But Maccas absolutely does not.

Im pretty sure he's taking about London, not Houston. You seem to have taken the post to be "Nando's will be the best restaurant in Houston" when he likely means "Nando's isn't high up the scale in London"
