Nando's PERi-PERi

The place looks nice and aesthetic but the food is off. Of all the Nando's i've been to, this place has the least amount of serving sizes. They gave us almost little to no portuguese rice despite ordering a LARGE. The chicken also tasted different, like it was cooked too fast? It's supposed to be juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Our chicken looked not cooked enough both in and out. I ordered both in the counter and online and downloaded the app on the spot to get the points but for some "technical reason" according to their manager, my barcode and receipts won't scan in the app so i can't get the points. I also tried to ask one of the workers for help printing my receipt but all of a sudden she "cant" print because she can't find my online order. Our table with food in it was literally few feet away from the counter lol. Then they had the audacity to ask us to "review" them. Well here's my review! Provide better help and better tasting food and not be on your phone 'choosing music' to play all the time.

Nando’s, what can I say? It’s the best. The food is always on point, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. I honestly can’t get enough of it and keep coming back for more. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out.

It was Great. The young lady who took my order was pleasant to interact with, and allowed me time to decide what I wanted (with this being my 1st time). In addition, service by Kyree was good. As he made sure I didn't have any questions nor issues... And that my food was good. Lastly... The food was Amazing! I quickly messaged my wife to let her know the next time we are in the area, we Must visit Nando's PERi-PERi!

The service was excellent, with everyone being friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and flavorful, and we particularly enjoyed the bowls.

My fave location. I love coming to nandos and this location has working fountains, nice staff, and well prepared meals. My only wish is yall would add a location in Seattle but for now this one will do :)

Had an excellent dinner at Nando’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served just right. Everything from the peri-peri chicken to the sides was spot on. But what really made the experience stand out was Sharon. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her friendly attitude and great service truly elevated the meal. Thanks, Sharon, for making it such an enjoyable evening!

I love this chicken. Two thighs and legs, and an order of wings with rice is a solid and extremely flavorful meal for two. The chicken is seasoned really well, and cooked perfectly, with a nice sear and caramelization. While flavorful on their own, the sauces are a must. I love the peppery lemon and herb “extra mild” — but of course the hot sauces are great. Medium was quite spicy for my low tolerance palate. The space is huge and nicely decorated. I came just with my girlfriend, but it’s certainly good for a casual large group or party. The ambiance is nice and as comfortable as the food, with large tables and South African music in the background. Much of the experience is self serve; but, the servers there were quite friendly. The location is on a very cute block of H street NE. Can’t speak to parking as we took a cab to the area. Will definitely be back.

They waited 20 minutes to take my order and then while they were cooking it the manager called a staff meeting in the back and left food unattended on the grill for 10 minutes. Ironically, when they finally came back out they were having a very loud conversation about how the cooks needed to be reprimanded for not following food safety rules. Stay away, for your health.
