Nando's PERi-PERi

Great food and great service as I’ve come to expect from most Nando’s. The place was practically empty at around 2 pm on a nice Sunday. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The space was very neat and well kept. Condiment/utensil/fountain drink area was very neat and organized. Food was ordered via scanning a QR code and through the app/website. You pay and tip through the app/site as well. The servers brought our food over in about 10-15 minutes. Food wings, fries, rice and skewers were all very good. Overall a good experience, my only issue/recommendation was more bathrooms. They currently have two 2 gender neutral bathrooms. When I was about ready to leave, I had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a bathroom to become available both were seemingly occupied by employees. This was when the restaurant was empty….I can’t imagine how long that wait would be if the restaurant was busier. The area is nice with a lot of eating options. Parking can be tough, but there is a reasonably-priced outdoor lot at Water Street and 4th Street. $2-$3 per hour

3.5 Pretty good food. We ordered the chicken burger which was flavored well, the peri peri chicken bowl loved the rice but it lacked flavor, 1/4 chicken breast which was good & the boneless chicken which was well cooked and spicy. Staff was okay, but we loved the ambience. Really quick service too, we were surprised at how fast the food came!

Good was amazing , unfortunately ate it all before I took some pictures. Staff is friendly, manager Giovanni was amazing !! Came and made sure everything was okay. Great service and food. This location at Navy yard is great !!

Such a great meal! I got the chicken thighs hot with brussels sprouts and red mashed potatoes. And the ultimate blessing of this meal was the garlic bread, the best combination of moist, crispy, buttery, and warm. You have to get the garlic bread! When you get there you order from your phone so if you have questions about the menu you will have to get up to ask. Also I had terrible reception so someone had to order for me lol but it was an excellent dining experience. You can eat outdoors or indoors as well. There isn’t much free parking around but there is a parking lot that is a short walk which is $1 hour. So very affordable.

The naughty natas are to dead for so delicious. I just couldn’t get one. The chicken is always cook on the grill. Peri-Peri sauce is so good.

The service was awful. Menu was limited at 7pm because the grill was closed. They came over 2 times to double check my order and it was still incorrect. One of my companions received an alternate side dish because they didn’t have ingredients to make what she ordered but they didn’t ask her for a substitute. They just gave it to her. The chicken and rice was very flavorful. The sangria was also on point.

I LOVE Nando’s. Been to more than 50 locations in 5 countries. However I was very disappointed with this location. The service was slow the staff did not seem confident in taking our order, and not helpful when I asked for vinegar. There is lots of room for improvement in this location to bring it up to Nando’s standard.

I always love Nando’s! So happy to find them in DC. Loved every bite. Thanks!

Had heard great things about thus place but until you experience it you won't understand truly how delicious the food is. So many options and choices which makes it easy when you have several people in your party. Definitely worth the stop.

Ordered takeout on a Wednesday evening and stood at the counter for OVER AN HOUR waiting for a sandwich and two sides. When I asked at the 40 minute mark where my food was, I was told it was “waiting on the thigh” the grill was empty when I came in at the estimated order finish time. I guess it takes this place over an hour to cook a single chicken thigh… Good food doesn’t make up for the WORST service.
