I love Nando’s and I have been to the branches in Australia and the one in Beckenham. I usually have a Chicken Burger and the burger’s are massive and very juicy. I like how you can choose the spiciness of the chicken, usually I can only handle a mild chicken though.

This was my first visit to Nandos – and it will be my last! I had never tried Nandos before, so I didn’t know what to expect (big mistake!). After being seated for what seemed like ages I was perplexed as to why the girl was constantly standing beside the till – and then realised no one comes to attend you at your table! A bit odd really, considering the place looks like a restaurant. So I got up to order at the counter.

I was extremely hungry so decided to order the biggest chicken burger on the menu. I could hardly wait for the burger as the menu described it as ‘two layers of breast chicken on top of each other’.

When it arrived I was massively disappointed. It was so much smaller than I expected. The breast chicken was more like thin strips, layered on top of lettuce and a couple of small slices of tomato. I couldn’t believe this was the biggest burger they had on the menu. I would hate to imagine what a standard burger looks like! It didn’t even have cheese, or bacon, or sauce, or nothing extra. And it cost over $18!!! For that price, I expected two pieces of nice ‘thick’ juicy cut of breast chicken layered on top of each other (as the menu described!). I expected something that would be pretty big and significant! Instead, it was small, the chicken didn’t even taste like it had been marinated for 24 hours like the menu describes, and I was actually still hungry after eating it! An original works burger from KFC for under half the price is ten times better than Nando’s!!!

My advice – don’t go there if you’re hungry or want value for money.

I know the brand from South Africa but by any standards this is pricey!! Very expensice for what you get. ($19 for a burger!)
