Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

🐔 NANDOS, anyone? 😋 #twopeasfakeaway
.
I whipped up a Nandos style iftaar a couple of days ago as we were all craving some juicy peri peri chicken 🤤 Initially, I wanted to use the Nandos marinade but it seems like everyone else had the same idea as me as I couldn’t find it anywhere! So I ended up making my own 😊 The best thing about cooking chicken like is that there are no steps; just whack everything in a blender to make the marinade! 
You will need:
6 chicken legs (including thighs)
1/2 an onion (medium size)
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2tbsp lemon juice
1tsp salt
1tsp peri peri seasoning
2tsp chilli powder (or less if you prefer your chicken mild!)
1/2tsp paprika
1/2tsp ground black pepper
1/4tsp red food colouring
1 whole scotch bonnet pepper

Once you’ve got your sauce, evenly coat the chicken in it and pop into the oven at 180C for around 40 minutes, turning them over half way. Make sure you make a few gashes in your chicken first in order for it to absorb more flavour! 👌🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Nando's Whitechapel on Instagram

Nando's Whitechapel

I recently visited Nando’s and ordered the Whole Chicken Family Platter along with a variety of sides: chili mash potatoes, piri-piri chips, regular fries, rice, and a fresh salad. For a starter, we chose halloumi sticks.

The whole chicken was cooked perfectly…juicy, tender, and full of flavor, with that classic Nando’s peri-peri kick. The chili mash potatoes were creamy and well-seasoned, the piri-piri chips had a nice spicy crunch, and the regular fries were golden and crisp. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the salad was fresh and crisp, adding a light balance to the hearty meal.

The only issue was with the halloumi starter, which arrived after our main course was finished. Halloumi is best enjoyed hot and fresh, so getting it at the end slightly disrupted the flow of the meal.

Overall, the food quality was excellent, the portions generous, and the flavors spot on. Just a small note for the staff to serve starters on time…it would make the experience even better.

I visited Nando’s last week and had an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a lovely girl in a red shirt with a bright smile who seated us comfortably. Since we were quite hungry and ordered a bit more, she kindly arranged a bigger table for us. The food was served promptly and with care.

Another staff member, a tall girl in a light green T-shirt, kindly checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect. The service throughout was both professional and friendly.

As always, the food was delicious—I especially love the sweet potatoes and corn on the cob! 🙏

Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience. We had a great time!

I came down to nandos whitechapel for a quick lunch, and overall the food quality was great and food was given to us so quickly! Shoutout to those chefs! However, I think the front of house staff could do a bit better, they were not very friendly and looked sad to be there tbh.. There wasn’t many sauces available and it wasn’t that busy, sauces should deffo be more stocked. And cleanliness was a huge issue for sure! The place wasn’t that clean and one of the forks we picked up had a rice grain stuck in it! Gross! Overall the food at this nandos was amazing but a few things have to be fixed!

The Supervisor(introduced him as assistant manager bengali guy during 15:30 shift on friday 22/8/25 )was too rude and not welcoming.We went there with colleagues to have regular Nandos experience and because of the rude behavior while taking order from us we felt ashamed of coming to this branch again.
Even the rice we ordered was fried and he refuse to give us change(picture attached).
Though we get beautiful welcoming vibe in farrigdon and goodmayes branch.

Good location, good facilities, nice vibe. Food was ok, but the spicy was a bit too starchy for me. I couldn't eat it.

We have 385 restaurants, 72 of which serve only Halal chicken and are signposted both in the restaurant and online. A small proportion of chicken sold in our other restaurants may also be Halal.

Nando's

Cabin

Although many people may already be familiar with this café, it was my first visit, and I was genuinely impressed. The historical ambience, complemented by photographs of locals displayed on the walls, created a warm and traditional atmosphere. The customer service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

The breakfast was exceptional. The naga toast was delicious, and even the baked beans stood out as unique and flavorful. The bread and sausage were perfectly prepared, and the karak chai was authentic and satisfying.

Overall, this café exceeded my expectations. I would be happy to visit again .

Wow. Wow. Wow!
I had an amazing English breakfast at Cabine...truly a hidden gem. The owner is incredibly kind. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just perfect. The food was  great. Good job. 10/10

I completely forgot to mention about this beautiful lovely gem of a place! Alhamdulilah the service and the food 👌🏽 they have their on the day menu and you can ask them to switch over anything as my partner is a vegetarian. The sisters really were accommodating. So glad we managed to get a munch. Also their Brownies 10/10. I was busy eating thats why I couldnt take any other pictures. It sure is a small family run business and a lovely place to be in. Thank you ladies.

Such a sleek, cute, and cool eating atmosphere.  Hidden gem if you ask me.  The staff was so nice and hospitable to me and my husband. Jamaican and peri peri paninis were scrumptous! The almond and pistachio cookies were flaky and sweet.    5 star review at its best!

Lovely little café with a warm and welcoming vibe. The coffee was rich and smooth, and the pastries tasted fresh and homemade. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It’s a perfect spot to relax with a book or catch up with friends. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

The Hungry Mandem

Great customer service, providing fresh quality food thats value for money. Mega Mandem is humongous, variety of lovely flavoured Wings, Chops cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavour, Chilli cheese balls are a great addition. The Drinks were perfect and it seems as though you can never have enough of it.

First, I want to say this place is takeaway only and the kitchen is kind of hard to find but if you know the Mile End area, you should be able to find it.
I ordered the Classy Mandem, Banging BBQ wings and the blu ‘ras’ mojito. Didn’t get the chips which was unfortunate as I really wanted to try them out but they was out of stock. The chips that’s came with the meal was nice but very salty. Can’t go wrong with fat chips tbh.
The burger was big but, personally didn’t like the way it tasted. It was dry, and didn’t taste like a normal burger. They tried something new but it wasn’t for me. Personally, I think they shouldn’t put onions in the patty mixture especially when they put caramelised onions as one of the burger toppings. That’s just too much onion. It needed more salt in the burger too. Probably used it all on the chips. If your Bengali it reminded me of a keema bora. Personally shouldn’t  be made as a burger patty. The burger would’ve been a lot better if it was just made the traditional way and a lot more juicy. Would’ve made the meal a lot more enjoyable.
The wings was decent, have nothing bad to say about them. Had loads of BBQ sauce and was topped with sesame seeds.
The mojito was decent too, did taste more minty than blueberry though. Think they needed to add more syrup and maybe more fizz. They also provided chilli sauce. It was extremely spicy but If you love spice you’ll love the sauce. I couldn’t handle it but the chilli sauce did taste good. If I could handle spice I know I would’ve loved that sauce.
Overall, the food was good. Not bad, not amazing. Just standard tbh.

In the app(too good to go) it was showing that I will get £12 food in £4, but the food (burger only) might cost £2.5 hardly! there are too many good restaurants around from which one can get same burger by £2.5!! it was waste of money.

Had a nightmare with Deliveroo delivery but the restaurant went above and beyond to resolve the issue.
Driver had left one of the burgers at the restaurant and one of the restaurant staff noticed and went out of their way to drop off the missing burger and even brought a drink to apologise for the inconvenience.
Amazing customer service and food was great.

Best burgers I've had so far the portion extremely good for the price the naga wings actually spicey and the mocktails were also really good.

Our food is halal, our meat suppliers are HMC approved, we purchase from Gafoor who are 100 percent halal.

Boujee Burgers

Sorry to say this but it's average. I asked for dipped but only 2 lots of the wings were dipped n 2 lots were drizzled. Ghost chilli???
Non existent!!! Naga!!!! Non Existent!!! Black truffle was visibly there but no flavour!!! One looked and tasted a bit like burger sauce.
Overall over rated and a MASSIVE let down.

COUNTLESS ISSUES WITH BOUJEE BURGERS, LONDON, E1 4UN
This is the FIFTH TIME chips were not done as described on the menu. This is my local, hence re-ordering as i originally liked the fat chips compared to all other fast food. This time the chips were SOGGY instead of crispy. Worst of all there was no onions at all!!!!!! The onions meant for the chips are meant to be crispy caramelised to compliment the taste and when i saw no onions at all, well to say this was a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT would be an understatement!!

Then moving on to the Cheesy Bites…because i’ve complained before about their chips, i feel they have definitely done this on purpose because EACH of them had NO CHEESE FILLING!!! It was EMPTY! You readers here can be the judge of my Boujee Cheesy Chunky Chip & Cheesy Bites review as i have provided PHOTO EVIDENCE of this. And to have SPENT AROUND £45 on them really does take the cake!

Last but not least their SHAKES are ALWAYS RUNNY. What i realised is they pre-make it and store it in the fridge instead of freshly squeezing it out. And this ain’t no exaggeration because they were never thick in any of MY PAST ORDERS. But i didn’t make a biggie out of it coz i mainly got food from them for chunky chips which was ONCE-UPON-A-TIME-AGO done right.

My complaints to Uber weren’t as successful coz it was my word against theirs. I have no idea how it is possible for them to keep their business in EXISTANCE???? I guess more FOOL me in repeating with my orders to them which am sure many like me do and thats what keeps them running. WELL NO MORE ON MY PART, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I ordered from here the other day via deliveroo with the name P S. Food was amazing.

Today however, absolutely disgusted to the point of no return.

Black truffle mayo burger.
The other day it was so sweet and succulent and delicious with a touch of truffle mayo.

Today it was basicly drowned, and I mean DROWNED in truffle mayo. Congrats to the guy who made this burger today that I will never buy from here again.

Take a look at the pics, this amount of sauce came out from only half of 1 burger... this aint normal.

This was basicly not a burger with truffle mayo in it, rather it was truffle mayo with a bun in it.

Appauled.

I hope management really takes this opportunity to teach their staff quality control.

A thin layer of truffle mayo, not DROWNED.

Management you really need to deal with your staff, you lost a proper customer today that loved your food on its first impression

I recently ordered from Boujee Burgers and when I bit into my chicken burger, I was shocked to discover that the patty was completely raw in the middle. This was seriously concerning for my health.

Thankfully, I didn't get sick from consuming the raw chicken, but it was definitely a close call. I understand that everyone can have an off day, but when it comes to food safety, there's no room for error. Boujee Burgers needs to take a hard look at their kitchen practices and ensure that incidents like this never happen again.

Until I can trust that they've improved their standards, I can't in good conscience recommend Boujee Burgers to others. It's a shame because with the right precautions, they could be a great takeaway spot. But for now, proceed with caution if you choose to order from there.

I really wasn't sure about this place because of the name choices, so decided to go for a standard burger, I got the angus beef with turkey bacon, I really enjoyed my it! As for the loaded chips I wasn't too impressed I was expecting something a little more put together however it looked messy and had only a few cut up pieces of fried chicken strips, the chips alone were nice, crispy and huge! However I wouldn't bother with the loaded chips. Will be trying the wagyu burger next!

Sushi & Thai Express

Randomly decided to try this spot and was happy we went. The food tasted fresh and was super delicious. The customer service was great too. We ordered the pad Thai, nasi goreng and the deep fried prawn sushi roll which was amazing 😋😋 the seating area was nice too

I know this isn’t a 5 star restaurant but still it was so underwhelming. No one came to take our order after we were sat there for almost 20 mins. Only one napkin each was given. I ordered chicken yakisoba noodles and they were literally maggi noodles out of a packet with loads of veg and boiled chicken. The guy had a hair net on but no beard net. He handled my straw with his bare hands. The food just wasn’t great. Service was appalling and a very strange place to be honest. The bento box we ordered was served in a plate alongside lettuce.

I did not think it would be this delicious but the food is absolutely amazing!! Such genuine customer service and the owner is the chef making the food fresh and yummy. Spice level is changeable to what you desire as well! We had rice dish and yakisoba. And the crunch sushi was the best sushi I have ever had. And I have been to many sushi restaurants. Below is a picture of our beef rice dish, so yummy I recommend 100%.

New place thought id try it out, i end up getting chicken chow mein it was ok not quite the same as other places tho. Customer service was really good amazing looking shop go try it out.

Great first try of Sushi and Thai express.

Spicy salmon crunch roll- hint of spice but overall a refreshing flavour with lots of crunch form the fried onions.

Tiger roll - seared salmon is hard to find in rolls so was really looking forward to this. It’s slightly warm and has a toasted flavour. Great for anyone who is nervous about trying raw salmon. Easily my favourite of the order.

Chicken crunch roll - restaurant gave this for free. It’s not something we’d order, tends to be dry but this wasn’t at all. The avocado and sauce helped but most importantly the chicken katsu wasn’t dry!

Chicken Katsu curry- curry spices, more savoury than sweet. Had chunks of veg as opposed to a smooth sauce, down to preference really. Again the chicken wasn’t dry which makes all the difference.

Recommend everything above, particularly the Tiger roll.

Ordered on JustEat, delivered within 30 minutes. Looking forward to trying again!

Our entire menu is halal and we do not serve alcohol.

Simply Smashed - Quality Smash Burgers

My first trip here, very impressed (and I'm quite fussy). Service was excellent and I saw them cleaning the customer area 3 times in the time I ate my food. The football was on too which was a nice touch. But down to the important bit, the food. I ordered a double smashed wagyu bacon, OG chicken fries, mango chutney wings and the guava ice drink. The burger was rich, juicy and tasty. The fries were delicious, although if I had to pick fault, I would have liked them a little hotter. The wings were cooked well and the sauce was delicious. It's lovely to see some drinks that aren't from Coca Cola as well 🍉

Overall, super impressed and will be returning.

We stopped here for an early dinner on one of the days of our visit to London from Melbourne, and I can say it was definitely worthwhile. Muaz was so helpful, making sure we got the best of what was on offer based off our personal preferences, it made for a great experience and all his suggestions were 11/10. Would definitely visit again!

Everything was banging, especially that Wagyu Smashed burger with that Algerian sauce. Service from AW was exceptional and food was great. Food also arrived within 5 minutes.

Will be visiting again

Absolutely amazing Food! Friendly family atmosphere. Great selection on menu and drinks!  Enjoyed our food thoroughly . Great service from Rahman , Very Polite and well spoken! Thank you for a wonderful Meal this afternoon. Keep it up!

Tried out the Angus beef 🍔 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
-Overpriced and tasted like a normal burger. There were only two and a half pickles in the burger topped with lettuce and some sickeningly sweet sauce.

Price 💵 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Not VFM. £7.00 for a mid burger.

Drinks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -
- Disappointed that they were selling Aldi and Lidl drinks for £1.50 which is absurd even though they cost £2.00 for a six pack

Toilet facilities 🚻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Decent, provided with hand wash and adequate water pressure. Clean as well.

Customer service 💁‍♂️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Friendly and helpful staff. Very attentive and manager was helpful.

Overall, I wouldn’t return. Food is mid nothing special. Wings were ok. Been here once in 2023 and food is still the same. Overpriced and under delivered. Unfortunate because the staff are attentive and caring.

Boujee Boba

Ordered from here twice on Uber eats, I tasted brown sugar milkshake and loved it! I had fruit tea (could have done with a few more popping balls) the  salted caramel milkshake is amazing but be warned it is really sweet! The Blueberry mojito was okay, I would have liked a little more zesty/tangy flavour. Overall I would purchase again as there is a good variety of drinks, customer service is excellent!

Wish I read the reviews before I ordered from
them. Received the wrong order, I ordered a milk tea and received a fruit tea. The tapioca is hard and barely chewable and they sent me a burnt cookie dough that literally smells like smoke, with no ice cream.
Is there somebody I can contact?
You wouldn’t serve customers in hospitality like this, so why do you think it’s acceptable to send orders off in this state?

I Tried A Nice Strawberry Fruity Twist Bubble Tea With A Blend Of Passion Fruit Popping Bubbles & Green Apple Bubbles Which I Enjoyed.
A Classic Milky Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Is The 1, I've Tried Many & This 1 Is Delish, The Right Amount Of Sweetness, Some Don't Add Enough Brown Sugar, But This 1 Was Nicely Made & I Can Tell There's Something 'Boujee' About This 1.
& A Unique Refreshing Mango Mojito, With Strawberry Bubbles & Brown Sugar. I Loved This So Much With The Slices Of Limes & Mint Inside It Was Super Refreshing.
Thank Yu For Delicious Bubble Teas Bro, Definitely Check Out Boujee Boba For Boujee Bubble Teas In East London.

Had the chance to try out @boujeeboba_ldn , have to say its one my favourite bubble/milk tea spots, went back a second time to try out there lotus biscoff brown sugar milk tea, and the flavour was a different level. They also do mojito bubble teas and the flavour options are endless. If your ever in mile end do check them out.

Boba was decent but they have me a extremely small strawberry, which I struggled to suck. I would have preferred sitting down while waiting for my order as well. But these are only small issues, which can be changed easily if they care.

All our menu items are suitable for a halal diet.
