I’m giving a star just for the service the cashier gave. I’ve heard about this nandos in particular about how good is not always cooked. And when I order my 12 piece wings with 2 sides which was extremely expensive for the quality of food received. I was so disappointed chicken wings red and undercooked. I asked for Mango Lime sauce and it was barely any sauce. It’s like the never got a better chef or what ever cooking guidelines they are following will make someone sick. I shouldn’t have to ask for my chicken to be well done. And I order French fries and coleslaw. The fries were so soggy and cold my job is 5 minutes away and the fries were completely limp. Laurel Nandos quality of food is poor. The cashier or host that assisted me was friendly.

Nando has a very precise flavor palet that takes your taste buds to a spicy place you will want to visit over and over again. The parking situation here is busy and parking along the curb can be difficult (the center is busy) but the walk is short and safe. This restaurant has really nice interior finishes and the rest room is very clean and private. The menu is mostly accessible online. This can be intimidating if you’re not familiar with using your phone to browse for lunch items. I placed my order at the counter and it was delivered to me in a flash. Again, this place is about the sauce and the savory spices. Love this place.

Food is really good. Chicken is moist and flavorful, just the right amount of sauce on top, rice is really tasty and garlic bread was good. Asked them to heat up the Brownie and it was really good. Natas were delicious. Portions are on the small side but very good and packed with flavor.

I went in and ordered. Literally no other customers there. The cashier couldn’t understand what I was saying a few times. The music was so loud. I ordered mashed potatoes and got corn instead (she indeed rang up corn) not sure how you heard corn but no biggie. The chicken wings were so flavorless and pale. I checked the label it said MeDiUm hot but these had no flavors I guess I need to put the dang sauce on myself. Nandos used to be banging and now I see why it’s dead inside. I tipped $3 now I regret it. The coleslaw was warm but had good flavor. The soda machine is wack. I tried coke and it was off. Then I went with sprite it tasted off too. Like clean the machine or calibrate it. The drinks tasted awful.

Went very early for happy hour. The specials are pretty good even though the way they’re advertised is a little misleading. One of the cashiers, servers was a bit new and muffled the order but was very nice. The drinks were great, especially for the price. The food, as always, is exceptional although the Thigh & Mighty sandwich was a little underwhelming and the item approximating mozzarella sticks was a dense mess. Still, can’t beat the prices. $5 cocktails and wings. Yep, we’ll be back.

My friend and I ordered a large catering order for +20 people. Food and service were 5 stars. Food was seasoned well, fresh and packaged very neatly. The corn and mashed potatoes are always must orders. Highly recommend catering here. Price wise it was definitely reasonable and flavors were on point

I love Nando's Peri-Peri, especially here at the Baltimore Ave location!! Caleb, thank you for showing support today and superb service. As an EMT, it truly means a lot to feel the love, you're awesome!

I first enjoyed eating at Nando’s in London and have been such a fan since then but never found one here. I kept telling my husband about how good their food is! Then we saw Nando’s on our way back from Toronto but had no time to stop and eat. My husband kept teasing me by saying we need to go to London to have it! And then suddenly looking at my love for Nando’s he tried to search for it in Philadelphia area and to his surprise found so many of them in Maryland!!! We drove from Philly to eat here and as always the food was so good! The flavors were same, chicken was so well cooked and juicy, wings are the best and thigh skewers were a treat! Coleslaw is the best I have ever had. Lemonade was so fresh as if made from fresh fruits! The interiors are amazing and the music was lovely! Restrooms need to be kept clean. Plenty of Parking available in the area. I hope they open in Philadelphia also!

My party thought the food was fairly good. We went for lunch, and the portions are great for a small meal with some leftovers. I liked that they had hearty bowls and salads. The lemonades were lacking in flavor, especially for the price. I also didn't like that the online order system they have makes you check out several times if you want other things along the way. So you are better off ordering everything you think you'll want right from the start. I got the peri peri chicken bowl. I wish I would have done chicken breast instead of thighs. My friend got a salad, I don't remember which one. She really enjoyed it. My husband got the peri Mac and cheese, which was good. If I go back, I'll be ordering that.

We enjoy the food but service is terrible, you get neglected but the tip feature is still on the app. Listen all you have to do is ask if anyone wants extra plates, extra napkins, and make sure you have enough cups/forks/knives for everyone at table while they wait so they don't keep bothering you... bare minimum. Second time going and lack of effort noticed both times. Manager was nice enough to check on us though. I always tip but it's sad that care effort is not there with some staff even when it's not crowded. Just let everyone order only at counter then.
