So I went to try Nando's in the UK, because I've heard a lot about PERi-PERi Chicken in the least months I went there and I have to say I was confusd on what I received for the price

yup it's shit. everything got twice as expensive since 2020 because of the incompetent pricks who run the country. that's a £5 burger at best.

Well the chicken was really really really good, but I didn't get Chips and anything with it, because I was certain there was rice and a salad with it

Unlike everyone else in this thread and like most of the UK, I enjoy the odd cheeky Nandos. But yeah, you're paying a lot for the name and less so for the food. That said, it's nice to have once in a while.

Hot take but if you say online : "I've tried this brand" you will receive 100% of the time "You shouldn't have"

People are weird. I'm just as guilty at everyone else though. Most of the time if I see something I don't like, I'll leave it alone but every once in a while, my opinion is more important than everyone else's experience. 😭

Like I said the chicken was really incredibly well cooked, just the price is crazy for what it is

[–] kingaloo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just buy the sauce. It'll be cheaper and you can make the same sandwich/burger at home for cheaper and better.

Well I went therer to buy their Hot sauce, and make some chicken for my SO for a School project, and decided to try it out at the same time

Nando's was amazing when I first went, twenty years ago. Huge portions, great value, really quick. It's been going downhill ever since. I'm surprised anyone still goes.

Nandos is shit mate. Try non franchises. I can get a chicken burger twice that size and easily nicer for £5.

So I went to try Nando’s

That was your first mistake.

I only go to Nando's to tackle hangovers. And that's mostly for the bottomless drinks. The food is OK but the best thing to do is buy the sauces at supermarkets and make the actual meal yourself. Much cheaper.

How is that not a full meal?
