Nando's Bayswater

First Taste of the Legend: Exceptional Service and PERi-PERi Chicken at Nando's Bayswater ​Having walked past the perpetually busy Nando's in Bayswater countless times, we finally decided to stop in today. Known for its legendary flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken—an Afro-Portuguese inspired favorite born in South Africa—the hype around this place is well-deserved. ​The atmosphere was lively, but the experience was flawless, thanks entirely to the staff. The service was truly exceptional, with the team being incredibly efficient, friendly, and helpful from the moment we walked in. ​The food presentation added to the lively, Afro-Portuguese theme, as all of our dishes were served on colorful plates. We started with the Halloumi Sticks, which were perfectly grilled. We then shared a main spread of succulent chicken thighs, perfectly flame-grilled and coated in the iconic PERi-PERi sauce. The sides complemented the chicken perfectly—the fries were crisp, and the macaroni and cheese was a satisfying comfort. ​Overall, Nando's Bayswater lives up to its busy reputation. The combination of its delicious, unique flavor profile and the genuinely exceptional service ensures we'll be back for more soon.
