The food was good and the host at the door was amazing! It's clear he loves his jobs and cares about the customers. The only bummer was that this was the first Nandos we have been to that didn't have Portuguese beer wine. The dining room was nice was even a sink in the dining room available for you to was your hands without having to do to end bathroom.

Went here on a Wednesday evening at 6:00pm for some lunch with friends for a birthday. This place is in a plaza and really close by to Sherway Gardens Mall. Server was nice but I feel as if he didn't really properly explain how Nando's worked, as it was our first time. We didn't expect to have to go up to the register and order and pay beforehand and to get our own utensils and napkins etc. The place looked very modern and fancy so we were very thrown off with the self-serve concept. With regard to the food, I found the portion of the chicken to be really small compared to how much rice there was and the rice for some reason tasted extremely sweet. The chicken was really good though! I would definitely go back just to order just the chicken.

I've been to this Nando's location a handful of times within the last year. It's probably the second-closest location by my workplace. It's located in a plaza with a bunch of box stores, as part of SmartCentres Etobicoke. My first two visits were Yelp experiences, which allowed me to sample a bunch of yummy food: - Spicy, garlicky kale caesar salad with lemon herb chicken - PERi chicken rainbow bowl - PERi mac - Naughty nata - Strawberry lemonade I loved everything that I ate. It's nice to shake things up. I either get chicken with a couple of sides or chicken wings. The caesar salad had a nice garlicky, spicy kick to it. Kale is generally tough and boring, but it was the opposite experience and was enjoyable to eat. The rainbow bowl was also awesome. I'd let to get it again and hope that the place has avocados. It ran out of them, but I got a grilled pineapple instead. So good! I love mac and cheese. The PERi mac has different spin on it. It's less cheesy than your traditional mac and cheese. It was offered as a side, but I'd love it as a main course. It's the crunchy topping that makes this mac perfect. I recently returned to get some more naughty natas (Portuguese egg tarts). This place makes yummy natas. I got a couple. The woman at the counter asked if I wanted them warmed up. I declined because I'd likely eat them on my way home. Well, she only had warmed-up ones. I said yes to them. They didn't have a chance. I devoured them well before I got home. Each nata has the best flaky exterior. The creamy custard was divine with a touch of sweetness. Delicious! My fountain drink experience was different. I paid for my drink during my first visit, to wash my food down. I went to get a drink from the fancy fountain machine. I first selected Fanta sugar-free grape. I got to hit the button once before all Fanta flavours were unavailable (all selections were greyed out). What horrible timing! I had dispensed more ice in my drink that I had expected, so I ended up getting more refills. My first drink was a mix of Fanta grape and Coke Zero lime. It was different... haha! I do like the Coke Zero line here. The flavours are excellent. My next refill was Coke Zero raspberry. Delicious! Before I left this restaurant, I did one final refill of Coke Zero cream soda. I love this machine and Coke Zero flavours that didn't shut down on me. I've paid with both credit and debit cards. I've never done cash because I rarely have some on me. You have the option to tip. The downside is the design of this plaza. If you are visiting businesses in this 427-North Queen Street corner, driving in is easy. Exiting is a nightmare. You basically have one lane to exit, where you are converging with another lane with customers who have shopped at larger box stores, such as Marshalls and PetSmart. After my first visit, I was trying to leave this plaza on a Saturday afternoon. It took me twenty minutes to finally drive away and get on with my day. On my recent visit last Saturday, I looked both ways before making a left turn. Out of nowhere, a car on my right was going way too fast. I slammed on my brakes. He apologized. It was odd and scary. Maybe I'll turn right next time and try a different, safer way to exit. Perhaps there will be stops signs or a speed limit sign posted the next time I'm here. (172)

This Nando's location near Sherway Gardens Mall is quite spacious and has an earthy tone with wooden accents adorning much of the interior. There is ample free parking in the plaza. I noticed that they added "Peri-Peri" to the brand name to promote their signature Peri-Peri sauces (made from bird's eye chili from South Africa). Although the Nando's chain has traditionally been known for their chicken, I'm glad that they have introduced vegetarian options to the menu (including Rainbow Vegetarian Bowl (with grilled halloumi cheese, veggies, spiced rice, hummus), Avocado and Roasted Pepper Bowl (served over Portuguese rice), Veggie Sandwich, Portobello Mushroom & Halloumi Sandwich or Wrap, Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Macho Peas, etc.). You order at the counter, and they bring food to your table when it's ready. Food prep time is quite fast - usually ready within 5-10 minutes. Their salad and vegetarian selections are decent for a quick-serve restaurant that has traditionally been known for non-vegetarian food. Service was very friendly and efficient from my experience. They strive to be more environmentally friendly by offering recyclable utensils made of bamboo instead of plastic, non-plastic straws, and using paper bags for take-out instead of plastic bags. They get bonus points in my books for that!

Ordered halloumi sandwich with fries/Brussel sprouts as sides and chicken salad. Plenty of mushroom and sauce. Small portion for fries. Brussel sprouts were roasted but I felt like it was unseasoned. Plenty of toppings on the chicken salad. Cheese. Crispy croutons. But the chicken was so small. The sauce is actually pretty tasty. Ended up grabbing a bottle of the medium hot sauce.

I feel like there was a time in my life when I went to Nando's on a fairly regular basis. But somehow, in the last couple of decades, I've barely eaten there at all. So when we were looking for a quick meal on a recent weekday, I couldn't help but suggest Nando's. The setup inside was as I remembered it; you take a seat at a table, walk over to order your food, and then a few minutes later it's bright right to you. Since I hadn't been in a while, I decided to keep it simple, so I went with the 1/2 chicken dinner and got that with fries and a spice level of hot. It was just as good as I remembered. The perfectly-cooked chicken was tender and juicy, and the added hot sauce really enhanced the flavor. The fries were hot and tasty, and I also really loved being able to bring whole jars of hot sauce to the table. (The medium with garlic is fantastic.) The restaurant itself was relatively nice, although it could definitely have been cleaner. (There was a pretty gross-looking piece of food sitting on one side of the booth.) I'll definitely be returning soon. I can't go another two decades without some Nando's!

I had lunch today at Nando's. I had a half chicken meal with garlic mashed potatoes. The sauce on my chicken was lemon & herb ... it was lemony with a bit of heat. It's been a while since I've been to a Nando's and it was good.

Visiting the Toronto area for work and decided to try Nando's on N. Queen St for dinner. I'm glad that I did. The Nando's 1/2 chicken was juicy and flavorful. I chose a medium heat/spice setting as I wanted to experience all the flavors of peri peri chicken. For sides I got the peri Mac and roasted Brussels sprouts. The wait was good and the atmosphere is relaxed. Music which was just loud enough to muffle the conversations from the other tables and not too loud to be annoying. Staff were courteous and friendly. All in all a nice experience.

Visited Nando's for a quick bite to eat. The peri-peri chicken bowl has the perfect ratio of carbs, vegetables and protein. Only downside is the chicken portion was on the cheap side. Service was top notch and the overall restaurant was busy. Will be back!

Can you really go wrong with Nandos? Ambiance: great indoor and out patios. This location never has a line up each time I've been so you get seated fairly quickly. The staff is vigilant, and the service has overall always been very friendly and quick. Food: I've also really enjoyed Nandos, the different selection of chicken and pairings. The only thing is family meals could be better portioned but the food is always packed with flavour and is consistent. The different levels of seasoning are delicious. The halloumi cheese Salad is absolutely delicious!
