Nando's - Mount Stromlo

We decided to have a quick early dinner at Nando's, but it turned out to be a bad choice. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet it took too long to deliver our tear and share plate order. I would recommend ordering this only if you're not extremely hungry, as the portions were small - three small and very dry pita bread, a few cucumber and red pepper sticks, a little hummus, and spicy rice instead of the African vegetable salad. The spicy rice was dry and tasteless, resembling microwaved rice. The half-chicken we ordered was delicious, but the rice and pita bread were disappointing. We ended up ordering regular chips later, but they were drowned in peri peri seasoning and some were inedible. Overall, the quality and price were very disappointing. I would suggest trying their burgers next time or visiting a different Nando's location.

We wanted a quick early dinner so decided on Nando's. Bad choice! The restaurant was practically empty but it still took far too long for our order of the Tear and Share platter to be delivered. I would suggest ordering this if you are not overly hungry as even though this is meant to be for two people the portions were small – three small and very doughy pita breads, a few sticks of cucumber and red capsicum, some hummus, and as a substitute for the African grain salad we chose the spicy rice which was dry and reminded me of those microwave rice-o-ricos. We ordered the half chicken which was delicious but as the rice was practically inedible and the pita breads unappetising we later ordered a regular chips. These came out drowned in peri peri seasoning so we had to leave some as they were also inedible. Very disappointing for the quality and price. I’ll stick to their burgers next time or better still, try a different Nandos!!!!!

My first experience with chain food in Australia was at Nando's, and it did not disappoint.

After double-checking my order multiple times, I discovered that the takeaway burger I brought home was completely incorrect. I suggest trying Grilled instead.
