Nando's Riccarton - Christchurch

Best place for BBQ chicken and burgers around riccarton area. Nando 's is famous for its unique sauces so called 'Peri-Peri ' flavour and yes it is... indeed !!! The good thing is that you can buy these sauces from there. Also you can get it from supermarkets. Restaurant is beautifully designed and spacious. Staff was so nice and kind.

The food was delicious and arrived at the table not long after ordering.

I was really looking forward to taking my Fiancée out for her first ever Nandos (Don't judge her, she's converted). We grabbed a table outside and used the app to order, I love this feature the app is great and easy to use. The food came out really quick, and it was good. My only gripe is that being a standalone Nandos it wasn't licensed? I've been to so many Nandos that serve alcohol that I was taken aback that this one didn't. I was looking forward to some cold beer and spicy chicken. The other thing was that the seagulls basically camped outside in the covered in area and went to town on the leftover chicken once people left. Nowadays you can get little noise emitters or an Owl from Mitre 10 to keep the birds at bay. In the 40 minutes we sat outside, no one cleared the plates from the tables that left beside us so we were constantly surrounded by seagulls. I probably wouldn't come back to this Nandos based on this experience.

The food was good. The food is made without alcohol and the chicken is halal. You can read it as well on the website. They have also a vegetarian option. The have several spicy stages. For people who never eat spicy they should take mild or non-spicy. If you take hot or higher you have to consider that it is really hot. I love it to eat hot and spicy. And for me very hot was really very hot. If you are inside they have enough places to dine in. You can take a menu and have seat but you have to order at the front and they will bring you the food to your table. We can recommend it to everyone. They have as well options for children.

Amazingly cooked Chicken with the Coleslaw. Price was appropriate which I was surprised for a bit considering my first perspective of Nando’s was of luxury eating. The portion suits me even though I couldn’t necessarily clean the plate. Should’ve come more often
