NANDO'S

Nando's is like that old friend you keep hanging out with, mainly for the nostalgia and the peri-peri chicken. This branch in Balham is apparently the crème de la crème of Nando's locations, where Maheen Ahmed has made it a weekly ritual. The service is top-notch, with Taylor being a superstar, making sure everything runs smoothly and with a smile. Like, how does he do it? And the food? It’s the usual deliciousness, with juicy chicken and that famous peri-peri sauce that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance. 💃

But don’t let your eyes glaze over when you check out the reviews because there’s also some shade thrown for the delivery service—seems like it's a mixed bag. Whether you're dining in or taking away, your experience can vary, so tread wisely. Stick to what you know, and keep it simple. You know what to expect, but it's not exactly Michelin star material.
