Went here because of a Groupon. Interesting concept (you get to choose the way your chicken is prepared), but restaurant is dark and a bit gloomy.

Nando's is unique restaurant with very tasty chicken and the sides are delicious too. It gets crowded quickly, so sometimes seating can be really tight

This restaurant is like a swiss chalet with lackluster sauces, poor service, and less delicious chicken. This is a chain, not a unique restaurant, and I would highly recommend avoiding it as you can do better by closing your eyes and walking into any restaurant that you find on the street.

Living in Singapore, Nando's is very common here but in the US its not common so we had lunch there. The chicken was somehow dry but the side dishes were really good. Plus the Jug of Sangria on happy hour was terrific.

Located near China Town, Nando's serves mainly varieites of spicy chicken. I am a vegetarian and the options for me are very good. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and the staff are helpful. Prices are good too.
