What a foodie experience! The hummus was flavorful, the chicken had just the right amount of spice and the sides were just right! They also have a great eye for details....down to the napkins!
Great find on our vacation!

Portion was small for my liking. I didn't feel my $40 worth of food was worth it. Kid sized portions. It was good everything was. Service was terrible. I had to get my own silverware. I hardly was acknowledged at all.

I’ve never been but have heard nothing but excellent things about ~cheeky~ Nando’s so I was SO excited to stop in for a bite!
Thankfully, I had a veteran with me to guide me through the experience. The chicken bowl I had was absolutely fabulous and customizable.
Nando’s is a fast casual style restaurant so it’s perfect for a quick bite on your lunch break. Our food came relatively fast and the staff did bring the plates out to our table. On the back counter there’s a selection of Nando’s specialty sauces for you to try.
Overall, I found this location to be pretty nice and clean. I’ve hard the Nando’s off of Michigan Ave can get a bit chaotic so this could be a better location to choose to avoid the hustle and bustle.

I ordered a chicken bowl through Uber eats. The food was carefully packed and handed down when it was hot. The big, colorful bowl looked great. Two grilled boneless chicken was given with salad and a spicy rice. There was Some grilled pepper, sweet corn, and some hummus too. For the chicken I choose some spicy mango sauce which was fine. Overall the bowl was huge in portion, and was very filling and satisfying. I added a peri peri fry too with the order. The regular fries were seasoned with some ‘Peri peri’ spice mix. It was pretty decent too. Overall, it was a good meal.

I was shopping downtown and need a place to eat that has comfortable seatings for a quick lunch. This place is so spacious. The service is semii self serve; you pay first, get your own water and spices. But they serve you food and clean up. The food was delicious. I totally recommend any "Bowls". The greens is very fresh and chicken is well spiced bbq. People were calm in there. I would go back a again next time.

This was my first time at Nando’s after hearing all my friends rave about it. The chicken and fries was amazing. The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the fries were crispy and well seasoned as well. I didn’t really care for the mac and cheese but everything else I give a 10/10.

Came from New York. The food is amazing. I love the taste spices sauces. Everything feels like it’s so homemade. Also, the prices are very reasonable. I will say affordable to most other people would definitely recommend it.

Returning to Nando's after several years felt like a nostalgic journey into the heart of flavor. This is the place where I first experienced the magic of grilled chicken, and I must say, the taste hasn't lost its charm over time. After 45 years, the succulent perfection of Nando's peri-peri marinated chicken remains unmatched.
The familiarity of the mouthwatering aroma and the distinctive flavor brought back cherished memories. Nando's has mastered the art of maintaining consistency without compromising on quality. The grilled chicken, infused with that iconic peri-peri marinade, was as heavenly as my very first bite.
Stepping into Nando's feels like revisiting an old friend – the ambiance, the service, and, most importantly, the unparalleled grilled chicken create an experience that stands the test of time. Nando's is not just a restaurant; it's a timeless haven for those seeking the authentic taste of cherished memories. It was an absolute pleasure to rediscover the essence of my culinary journey, and for that, Nando's deserves every bit of praise.

Came here for dinner during the week while visiting Chicago. The to-go area was fairly busy, but the dine-in area had plenty of seating available. You place your order and pay online using a QR code, then they bring it out to your table number.
Had to order the chicken, but wasn't sure what heat level to pick. I opted for Medium to be on the safe side, but if you like hot foods, then the Hot spice level isn't too hot. Ordered the 1/4 chicken breast with 2 sides, Brussels Sprouts and Portuguese Rice. I wanted the corn on cob, but it wasn't on the menu this night.
Hint, they have all their sauces in jars by the drink fountain. You can always get every heat level in little plastic containers to dip your food yourself. I tried each flavor and preferred the Hot and Xtra Hot levels.
Chicken was extremely juicy and flavorful. The flavors were really cooked into the chicken. Sides were good, but I'd focus on the chicken. For a small dessert, ordered the Naughty Natas which is a light custard that was very good. Small simple dessert that's not too heavy.

Great food! The sauces are, of course, tasty, but the cooking makes the difference. So much better than the heavy breaded chicken places. Takes me back to our days in Zimbabwe.

First time at Nando’s and it was phenomenal. Great vibes as soon as you walk in the door. Nice service and delicious food. Definitely recommend the sweet and spicy wrap with chips and the peri peri ranch. So so good.
Now for my standard COVID comments as of May 2023. Some folks are but majority are not wearing masks. Location is pretty clean and seating is distanced. Comfortable to sit down and eat or grab and go.

We love the food but they were so late in bringing our order. They also forget about items in our big order. But over all experience was great and the servers were so nice.

Heard a lot about this place!! Tried the chicken breasts with all their sauces. It was good but I was not fully satisfied with the chicken breast. It was very hard to chew! Hence, cutting down a star!
Thomas Gaskill
Had the Peri Chicken Rainbow Bowl. Added grilled pineapple (pairs well with the medium peri peri sauce) and grilled Halloum cheese. The food is fresh and flavorful! A must try!
Resana Zayan
A place to love! The service is so good and all of them are extremely friendly! The decorations are pretty and the food tastes really good! I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

What a rip off! Kids “grilled chicken strips” is one strip. Kids menu says bottomless frozen yogurt, and then when our kids go to get it, we are told that there is no yogurt at this location. They were offered a cookie and brownie with whipped cream each; after 15 minutes, we still didn’t have it. We asked the waitress, and she came with one cookie and one brownie. Bottomless frozen yogurt is also advertised on the adult menu as an option for $3, yet it’s not available. Small portions, mediocre food.

A taste of home. The music crowns it all. This a a place to go to for authentic food. The art and music is authentically African.

Tasty, quality food at a reasonable price. Nice ambiance. Food prep time is slower than your typical fast-casual spot, but still not as slow as a full fledged restaurant. Would definitely return!

Amazing food ! I was a regular visitor to Nando's back in India and i absolutely loved the Chicago outlet. They have the perfect combination of ambiance and super tasty spicy chicken. Its a must visit for all chicken and spicy food lovers.
Sue Palumbo Auriene
Food was very tasty. Price was even better! Service was slow. Atmosphere was very nice good music comfortable chairs. I had the wings they were a little fatty so 4 stars because of that.

After trying Nandos on 4 continents this location was the worst. I was extremely happy that it finally came to Chicago but the food quality of this location is not up to their standards. They add wayyyy too much tumeric to the rice and not enough marinade/sauce to the chicken causing it to be bland and over charred. I'm almost afraid to try the other locations in the Chicagoland area.
Damon Deru
I used to eat Nando’s in South Africa and was stoked when I found this in the good ol’ USA! Chicken was just as good as I remember. Absolutely fantastic-
Pamela Bettison
Upon placing our order, there was a long wait on chicken; only thighs & wings were available. I did enjoy the chicken & the butter squash & corn was great!! b4 leaving, the waitress brought us these tarts that were amazing! definitely a do-over!!!
Sav Dhami
As usual its awesome . Love it. Interior is so cool and good customer service. I'll recommend people to try their chicken. It's Hella different from other restaurants.
April Kinker
I’ve been to this location many times when I’ve been in the city for concerts or plays. Last night I took my son for the first time and he loved it. This would have been a 5 Star review if the cashier didn’t have an attitude and actually wanted to take my order. I had to ask for my son’s cup that came with the kids meal and a glass for water - twice- because she wasn’t paying attention. She needs some training in proper customer service.

Really enjoyed the food and the ambiance particularly the music. The back dining area was have a venting problem from the grill. Needs to be fixed.

Regular Nando's eater from the UK. Was a welcome surprise to see a Nando's in the US as I haven't had a meal in 6yrs! I absolutely love half a chicken and rice smothered in the different sauces especially garlic!

Rosa Jimenez-Hernandez
What an impressive experience! Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Each person got something different and no one was disappointed. The great variety of sauces met our highest expectations, and that's saying a lot! The chicken was perfectly tasty and all of the sides were delicious as well. The next day, we were all still thinking about it and talking about how good the food was. We can't wait to go back.
