NANDOS

Nandos is like that comforting friend you can always rely on, but sometimes you wish they’d step it up a notch. The Westfield Stratford location is clean and welcoming, with a management team that seems to have their act together. The food is solid, with the loaded fries getting mixed reviews for chicken quantity—but that’s Nandos, isn’t it? Always a bit hit or miss. While the atmosphere is laid-back and perfect for a casual meal, the occasional chaos can feel a bit overwhelming.

You’ll find friendly staff ready to take your order, but don’t be surprised if your chicken is slightly overcooked or comes with an unexpected wait. It’s great for a quick bite, but if you’re after a five-star experience, you might want to check your expectations at the door. Overall, it’s a classic spot for a reason, but just know it’s not culinary magic every time.
