Big clean location. Easy free 3 hour parking right outside. The food was great. I'm always so happy to grab a Nando's meal when I'm on the E coast or in the UK. The chicken is excellent, amazing flavors. The service was seriously manic. I appreciate being greeted but overkill when 10 people do it and on repeat. Maybe the management needs to relax. Was a bit overwhelming. The slaw had a good herby flavor but the salt level almost knocked me out. I'd skip that next time.

Solid Nando's right by the Reston Town Center with the standard classics. I highly recommend going for the half chicken if you are okay with bone-in or the boneless chicken sides with a side of the mashed peas or fries.

I went to Nandos late one night with a friend, hungry as hell, looking to eat well and we were not disappointed. We got 1/2 chicken and chips with a side of rice and ate it all in no time because it was so delicious. This location is also pretty cute with different styles of seating areas and chairs. Service was quick, staff were super friendly and the restaurant was clean. This is definitely not fine dining but the service, general ambiance and food taste make it a 5-star ext

Yummy sandwich and easy to order online. I tried the new sweet potatoes, but didn't get a fork so they were a little tricky eat. The garlic bread is always good, and the chicken sandwich was super flavorful and tender. Would definitely return. The coke machine is just ok - gives you way too many options and they don't really taste right. Love that they have sauces easily available to take in to-go cups. My sandwich really didn't need any extra sauce but it was great.

Nandos reminds me of the Peruvian restaurant, viva chicken, but better. The peri peri chicken bowl had great flavor.

Second time visiting, blown away both times! Fast casual joint making it comfortable for a solo diner. The sauce game is legit. Very unique menu!

Good food, especially when looking for something a bit lighter. There wasn't enough chicken for the entire bowl, as it seemed a bit like half a chicken breast. However, the bowl was filled and was very yummy. Would definitely order again!

(From June, 2023) My friend who I met up with on a Sunday evening in early June requested this specifically since he was coming from Las Vegas and he doesn't see these places out there unfortunately. Nando's is his number 1 food spot and he emphasized I would be aboard the food chain once I tried it myself. Needless to say, I get his obsession with it as I have been converted to a fan and I'm excited they are opening more locations. I decided on wings, 1/2 chicken w/ macho peas, and a mango lemonade. My friend ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and mashed potatoes (double carbs). We shared everything and I was loving the eats and the sauce. He ordered the xtra hot for us which has a kick but not overwhelmingly burning. That is my sauce for future visits. As for the chicken, it's tender, seasoned nicely, and has a nice char to it. Drizzle that sauce on it for a power punch to the taste buds. The macho peas were also tasty; like green peas in mashed potato format with some spice. And of course, you gotta drizzle that sauce. Wings are large with char and saucy as I like. Also loved the chicken sandwich and fries; the bread holds the snadiwhc right and the fries have the right crispiness and seasoning. I didn't try the mashed potatoes since fries were enough carbs for me. And of course, you gotta wash it all down with that mango lemonade; absolutely delish! As with all locations, you order on the app whether you're picking up or dining in. If you're eating in the restaurant, they'll provide a buzzer when the food is ready. Staff here is friendly and hooked us up with extra sauce. While we rolled in about half hour before closing, I'm thankful they had all the items we ordered. Well, I don't know how they could sell out of anything given their items are derived from that chicken! This location is near the Reston-Wiehle Metro stop. There's plenty of parking as well. And I've been informed as I'm writing this that they have a location in Houston, my current residence! Looks like I know where my next meal will be from!
