Reviews Nando's Kerrisdale

So, I have always been a die-hard fan of the Peri Peri Potato Wedges. Smelling the aroma of a fresh batch floating through the air as you enter the restaurant always makes my mouth water, and waiting to take the first bite of the golden brown slices, feeling the slight crunch of the exterior, followed by the warm hug of soft, fluffy mashed potato goodness within embracing every tastebud on your tongue. Going there 2-3 times per week for the wedges alone became a routine for me, and Nando's became a place for me to receive comfort food; the chicken was alright, the wedges were great, and that was all.

And then everything got better.

The recent renovation kept me from my wedges for several months, and the potato drought was long and harsh, but it was all worthwhile once the location reopened. A brighter, more open space, everything seems to have improved. Over the past 3 times I've visited, the chicken tastes more flavorful and moist than before, both in skewer and whole chicken forms, and the wedges are consistently great. While they say the Familia plate is for 3-4 people, if I have a hungry friend along with me, it's easy to take down the whole thing, as everything is delicious, and I don't mind overstuffing myself with good food. The garlic bread is also very delicious, and the only problem i'd have with the food overall, is that I wish i could eat everything fast enough to avoid having food get cold. I would review the vegetarian options, but no.

A minor complaint I have is that the restaurant seems a lot more consistently busy now, as I feel most of the neighborhood has picked up on all the improvements, and I find I have to wait a little longer to receive my daily dose of starchy goodness, a bundle of warmth that I will hold in my arms, and that will tell me everything is going to be okay. But that's good for business, and as long as this location stays open and gives me my wedges, I will be perfectly content.

Nice and bright decor, quick service, reasonable prices with a good variety to choose from. We ordered the variety platter which came with wings, a couple sides and a lemon spiced rubbed chicken for roughly $40 bucks. The food reminded me of Montanas with a bit of an authentic spin. I was pleased with Nandos and will be back the next time I'm too lazy to cook.

I haven't been to this location's Nando's for years. This Nando's is extremely family friendly (which is a nice way of saying there was a bawling child at the booth next to us.). As usual, I ordered the Haloumi burger (One of their vegetarian dishes. Haloumi is a type of cheese that is very light) with a side of rice. The rice was a little bit stale (Still pretty good though)

Best Nando's I have gone to. Friendly staff, moderate waiting time (they cook it fresh, not like the Nando's in malls), and amazingly juicy chicken! This is some of the best chicken you can eat at this price range. Serving sizes are great, and you can choose healthy options too.

I highly recommend trying out the shared platters if you are going with 1 other close friend. I chose one that was recommended for 2-3 people:
- 1 whole chicken, split into pieces
- A good amount of chicken wings
- 2 chicken skewers
- 2 sides (peri peri fries are absolutely delicious!)

I brought home some leftover chicken and it was still juicy after a few hours. Absolutely delicious.

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Overall very good casual dining experience, and I would recommend this Nando's to anyone who is not a vegetarian. ;)

First of all, let me say that I'm English and that the Nando's over there are amazing (they one in DC was awesome as well). Nando's Canada is just not the same. Don't get me wrong, it's still delicious and the servers are nice but it's not as good. I wonder why?

In any case, it's still worth four stars but I can see why it's nowhere near as popular over here.

Great place for casual dining fare.. Great spot, with food that always hits the spot. Chicken can be notoriously dry or burned, but it's consistently juicy and perfectly cooked on most every occasion here. I like the spacious seating and high ceilings, and the customers all seem to be repeat customers, so that is always a good sign. I'm waiting for the warmer summer months so that i can make use of the outside covered patio. It's basic relaxed dining, with delicious food that fills you up, and the sauces and spices make you feel all warm inside. Good stuff!

Hands down, the best chicken sandwich out there. You have to try their good quality chicken and delicious hot sauces. This particular branch will give you the South African flavor.

Best chicken EVER. If you have not been to Nando's Chicken in Kerrisdale you are missing out. Swiss Chelet chicken has nothing on Nanod's chicken by far the best. To top it all off the sever was perfect, they made sure I had everything to make my meal as enjoyable as possible.

I had been wanting to try Nando's for a long while and finally JT and I ended up going there for dinner. I knew from the advertisements that it was Portuguese food, and I also knew that I would be interested in the decor (simply because if it is Portugues
