Nando's Gezina Drive Thru

2 Daleen Louw - 8 months ago

So ... even though we were reluctant to order food on delivery, ever the optimists, we did and hoped for the best.

First issue : the address section of their online ordering system does not allow you to enter your full address (eg if you live on a subdivided property) and neither does the delivery instructions section allow more than 5 words. As expected, the driver went to the wrong address, drove all the way back to the store to call us u0026 when he got here, not surprisingly, the food was cold. Guess the delivery instructions box is just for show *insert disappointed shrug here*

Second issue : the food. I ordered the pulled chicken wrap (mild) - I got a coleslaw wrap (only like 5 pieces of chicken) and lemon u0026 herb. Nice. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, avo u0026 caramalised onion pita - he got a broken mess that was only half filled. Usually (based on previous orders) the avo is supposed to be like guacamole, not this time. Even with all the sauce pouring out of the manhandled broken pita, the chicken was dry. Even the mielie .... a MIELIE ... was sour halfway through.

For the price we paid for this ridiculously below average meal, we could've ordered 2 large pizzas from Casa Gelati (best pizza joint in the area FYI) and still had ample money left over for dessert.

Sufficed to say ... even though they have the best marketing department, we are done with Nandos.

I enjoy Nando's food and I love how every restaurant is designed differently. My only problem with this new store is the acoustics. It's so noisy that I got another especially because I was Sooo hungry. They could have added some design features which absorbs the sound. I could hear the kitchen staff's conversation from the other side of the store. Cutlery sounds all around, plates banging, people having to raise their voice as they chat due to the noise. I think the drive through is better than eating in.

I ordered a full chicken meal and in addition to the chicken being the smallest of any nandos I've been to (the one drumstick was a size of a winglet), the chicken was raw! This nandos just keeps getting worse.

The taste of everything is as expected. However, they serve the smallest chicken I've ever seen at a nandos. And when ordering extra sauce for take away, you need to check if it was added as they have a tendency not to.

The food was disgusting to say the least. No flavor, cold... the chicken pita was like having a chicken fat cake... the chicken felt like cement in the mouth. It is a disgrace. You pay premium for long drop food.

The picture of the quarter with side should not appear with chips as this is misleading. However the chicken Arroz was great, keep it up! I also love your pepper hot spinach, its great.

We just ordered full chicken, Peri Peri spinach, Nando's salad and Hotpot... The Chicken was fine and the Salad... THE SPINACH WAS TASTE LESS and darker... The worse part is the Hotpot was rotten... Guys who on earth deserve to use his/her own money to buy rotten food?
