Just been to Nando's for the first time with some mates. Is it just me who can see it or is this place a total rip off? They point you to your seat, the menu's over complicated so I just had whatever someone else was having as I often do, experience new things and all.So I sat waiting for the waitress. Oh no, you have to go up yourself and pay. Righto then. I'll have a coke too because I'm driving, okay here's a glass. Eh? Yeah go and fill it yourself. Erm..right. Sit down, where's the knife and fork? Oh, over there, go get it yourself. What! Up and down like a jack in't box. Then, I get a chicken breast on some fancy bread, chips which I notice they're putting into a McDonalds type cardboard pocket thing then pouring onto a plate and a corn on't cob and they wanted £9 for that. What a rip off! I've done everything bar cook the food and it's no different to a McDonalds meal. Rubbish!

I felt the same. Interesting experience but i doubt i'll ever go back again

Went into the Cambridge branch for my last birthday, read the menu , got up and walked out Went into Tex Mex place a few doors away and had a brilliant meal!

But you can have chicken, with a chicken accompaniment and a side dish of chicken. Only KFC offer that and you don't have to eat it out of a bucket.

Had you not been a clueless noobie, you could have done all that in one trip. I've only ever had the standard BBQ'd chicken - never tempted by any of the 'dishes' on the menu. Quite tasty, but perhaps a little pricey for what is basically fast food, i suppose, if you want to be a miserable complaining g*t

I've never tried Nando's here (my wife has one near work and quite likes it) but their advertising is certainly interesting! linky thing

Nice. Unfortunately nowt like that in real life though.

They are always very busy when i go past the resteraunt in Croydon and theres no shortage of resteraunts!

I have had Nando's twice and really enjoyed the grub but i steered away from the piri piri sauce!!
