Reliable peri-peri chicken with lively fast-casual service; excellent sauces and sides, but expect occasional long waits and service hiccups at peak times.
Why this grade
Nando's PERi-PERi delivers reliable juicy, flavorful grilled chicken with strong value for money in a lively Penn Quarter location convenient for pre-event dining. However, quality variation during peak times—including occasional cold or burnt items—and extended waits prevent grade A-grade performance. Solid execution for casual dining, but lacks the consistency and refinement of higher-rated establishments.
One caveat: Waits of 30-60 minutes at peak or for carryout reported by several guests
