Nandos

Wow a lot of hatred towards Nandos!
I like it, does what it says on the tin. Simple and easy. Never had a bad meal there, ok never had a great one either but when eating when out during the day or when going to the cinema it's does the job. And I get discount there which combined with the loyalty card they do makes it reasonable value.
However.. Don't get me started on Frankie and Bennys!0 -

It was a bit different but ok, only criticism would be they leave the skin on the chicken and the girl taking our order looked at me like I'd just p!$$ed on her xmas tree when I asked them to cook the chicken without the skin on.
Cambridge and Plymouth (next to cinema) are table service if that's any use.
Malaysians don't have Christmas trees - it's a Muslim country.
It's also part buddhism and daoism due to the chinese community, plus a bit of hunduism thrown in for good fun!
Xmas day is a national holiday over there, so even those followers of Islam can have a Sunni disposition.
I used to live there, and some places do display Christmas trees. In fact, there is usually an enormous, fake tree in the KLCC shopping mall. However, if you were ordering food in a Nando's in KL it's most likely that the person taking your order would not be of the Christian faith, and therefore she would not have a Christmas tree for you to pi$$ on.
My guess would be that Nando's in other countries do display Christmas trees - does anyone have evidence of this?

Strange enough it was the Nandos in the KLCC, we were on the way back from the wife swimming with the sharks at the aquarium.
Turned out to be a good day, we stumbled across the pit pulse demonstration by the Mercedes F1 team at the park in the shadows of the Petronas Towers. Got my picture on the back page of the sports news and nearly got run over by Michael Schumacher

I dont know if any one saw that documentary about the way chickens are filled with growth hormone from day one to mature their bodies in weeks rather than let nature do the job slowly apparently the chickens get deformed and disabled as their organs dont grow neither their muscles and they end up at Nandos and KFC .
If there is a reason not to eat shite this is it on top of that you now have Muslim halal restaurants of the same chains where the animal is slowly bled to death in the name of religion do you really want that on your Karma
Here is an article related to this subject matter http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread. ... knew-quote

There's one thing worse than Nandos, and that's the people who eat there (in the ones I've experienced anyway).
I f*cking hate the place.Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

''you won't find anything like peri peri chicken portugal''

I spent 5 months in Angola in 1995, and had lots of piri-piri chicken. Just sayin'.I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast...0 -
what was it like?
Angola that is, the chicken was deadmy isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
Angola was horrible. We were dis-arming fighters from UNITA, and supplying a UN presence. Lots of hungry kids, lots of amputees, no infrastructure, made you feel really crappy and happy at the same time to be born in a developed country. Got in a few scrapes out there, lots of minefields and bad boys wanting a fight, very scary at times.I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast...0

I'd much rather stay at home and cook than go to Nando's.

I don't know what people think they are going to achieve by ranting about Nandos on a bike forum? I would have wrote to Nandos.
I went to Nandos last weekend whilst out shopping.
1. It definitely wasn't bland
2. I didn't starve to death
3. I can think of much unhealthier food than chicken and rice (I don't eat chips).
It doesn't bother me what social class eats there and didn't really notice who was who to be honest. I don't know why people on he have to mention it?
I think dmclite-3.0 posts sums up, that for some people on here how much of a 1st world problem eating in Nandos is while in Angola they have bigger concerns."The Prince of Wales is now the King of France" - Calton Kirby0 -

I posted the OP on here to get the regulars on here to comment on a visit I made to a Nando's, no social experiment, no class war or any other reason, just curious why I didn't get it and was dissapointed. I eat everywhere, like KFC, Pizza Hut, but also have enjoyed Michelin strarred restraunts.
So it was down to me to mention my visit to Nandos. It is a good forum for this sort of stuff.I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast...0 -
I think the problem with Nandos is people don't know what to expect from it? It's not quite McDonald's where your eating out a cardboard box on a plastic tray and not quite a proper restaurant with table service. It's somewhere in between. It looks like a proper restaurant with the decor and menus but maybe people then feel let down by the lack of service? I find the chicken quite nice providing you don't feel brave and go for anything hot, it'll be like a small nuclear explosion in your mouth.
