I went to Nando's for the first time a few weeks ago and I have to tell you that after all the hype from my friends I was left quite dissapointed!

Nando's is a Portuguese themed restaurant that specialises in chicken (in fact, it serves little else as a main meal other than vegetarian burgers/pittas and salads). I've eaten at various Nando's' in London, Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester, so this review will be quite general. A little background: despite emphasising everything Portuguese, it's actually owned by South Africans. Though they are contemplating franchising in the future, at the moment all the restaurants are operated solely by Nando's people. This has the advantage of standardising the menu and service. Despite this, however, it's not predictable visually as each Nando's restaurant is ...
