Burgerfuel Albany - Auckland

I have had 2 terrible experiences here. 1st was when they refused to answer the phone so I drove in only to be told that they had run out of chicken at 6:30pm and it would take 45+ mins to order more chicken. 2nd bad experience is phoning to make an order for one item only, being told it would take 20-25 mins, driving in to pick this up 30 mins later and arriving only to be told it would take another 30-35 more mins. This place gives Nando’s a bad name.

Always had good experiences in this Nandos outlet, chicken is juicy and basted with just the right amount of sauces, peri peri chips are crunchy, albeit sometimes a bit too salty from too much peri peri powder, coleslaw is fresh too. Service is quick and friendly. Will definitely come again when we have the cravings.

We have been to Nandos many times in the past but not for a while, and one of us being particularly a lover of spicy chicken, we felt a revisit was due. We went to Nandos in Albany over the weekend and chose to share the Espetadas (marinated chicken thighs on skewers) with sides of spicy rice and peri peri fries. The chicken was divinely succulent and spicy, with the delicious taste of the marinade. The rice was nice and spicy and went well with the chicken, as did the peri peri chips coated in Nandos great tasting spice mix. If you like chicken and spice (and spicy chicken in particular) you will not be disappointed.

Always had wonderful chicken and peri peri chips but yesterday I had a disastrous chips. It was beyond soggy and the seasoning on the chips were not evenly distributed, which resulted some extremely salty chips and some with no seasoning at all. Quite disappointing considering that I come every 2-4weeks for last 3years and this never happened before. For that, I will give 3.5 instead of 4.5

Clean food. Portions are small , prices high. If you 're a group that 's looking to get full, be prepared to spend. I would still recommend for the chicken. <br/ <br/ Only thing that makes this place stand out is the grilled whole chicken. <br/ <br/ Ordered Portoguese Rolls, it ended up being ciabatta looking bread , not 'rolls 'at all. <br/ <br/ Spicey rice: taste like the uncle bens packet pilaf , under seasoned and no flavour. <br/ <br/ Fries are average: just sprinted with Piri piri powder.
