Nando's Sydenham

Sydenham's Nando’s distinguishes itself with a unique combination of tantalizing flavors and a strikingly relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant's iconic flame-grilled peri-peri chicken forms the centerpiece of its menu, offering patrons an array of spicy to mild heat levels, which complement diverse options like the smoky churrasco burger and their veggie delights such as the Great Imitator wrap. Alongside these offerings, the new vegetarian and vegan options reflect a growing focus on customers seeking meat-free dining experiences. The staff here bears mentioning for their notable customer service; although occasionally troubled by turnover, many—like Gelson, April, and Jonathan—have made lasting impressions with attentive and engaging hospitality. Despite minor hitches in order accuracy or timing, the team frequently rectifies issues with aplomb. However, accessibility could see improvements as stairs hinder smooth entry for wheelchair users. While it's certainly delightful to experience dining at this location, frequent Nando's-goers note that with the ease of ordering via app or in person, waiting might be part of the adventure but one well worth delving into for delectable chicken and vibrant company.
