Nando's Peri-peri - Springfield

Full Chicken Platter 1/2 Chicken w/corn) ordered. Overall its very tasty; but after multiple orders, I can safely state that quality control is declining a bit. For instance... a choice of LARGE salad as an "included" side costs an unwarranted $3.00, and amounts to a mere handful of lettuce/veggies i.e., container was barely 1/2 full). Ive had this experience multiple times. Its honestly hard to imagine what the smaller sized side salad looks like. Nandos is not a cheap eat $60 f/1.5 chickens); so, the side-dish price gouging is a bit painful to bear. Todays order was also served with corn on the cob complete with a sizable rotted/inedible section. That shouldve never made it to the grill in that condition, much less my plate. One of the chicken quarters appeared marred with blue/black "bruising" vs. the typical golden brown roasted color). I wasnt sure if it was spoiled or not; but after taking the bold move to dig in despite its unappetizing appearance, I found the chicken still tasty. Just... really bad presentation, overall. Not sure I can tolerate relying on "it tastes better than it looks" at this kind of price point very often. That said, Id still eat here again.

The chicken had a nasty flavor (no seasoning) and I ordered the cinnamon and sugar sweet potato but received regular bland sweet potatoes. Im hoping it was a one time thing.

This is the second time trying this restaurant. The food is fresh and tasty. But just as important is the customer service of this place, they were very welcoming, friendly, and effective. I do recommend this place to visit alone of with the family.

Regular spot for lunch with my wife and mother in law. The chicken is consistently cooked and seasoned well. Personal favorite is the mango-lime flavor 1/4 leg and thigh. I had it in a wrap during my last visit and was delighted. Chips (fries) and perinaise is a must try for groups, it balances well with most other dishes here too. My one complaint would be the excess of entitled and rude customers from the mall. Having to watch the cashier get scolded for doing her job right was irksome and held up the line for about 5 minutes. To the crew, you're doing great! Keep up the consistent, good work.

One of the best Nandos! Definitely recommend. Make sure you park in the garage, as parking in front of the mall can be challenging.
