What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Nando's Portsmouth receives praise for its consistently delicious peri-peri chicken and vibrant, friendly atmosphere. Diners highlight attentive staff and quick service, making it an ideal spot for casual meals. However, some reviews mention minor issues with hygiene, such as greasy cutlery and tables, and occasional concerns about portion sizes for the price.
"Had a great experience at Nando's in Portsmouth! The vibe was spot on, with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff who were really attentive. The food came out quickly, and the chicken was perfectly cooked – juicy and with just the right amount of spice. Loved the variety of sauces, from mild to extra hot, so there's something for everyone. Only downside was that the cutlery and glasses could’ve been a bit cleaner. Ideal spot for a casual meal, whether it’s lunch or dinner. Highly recommend for any chicken lovers out there!"

"Nando’s knows how to do flavor, portions, and hospitality right! I went for 3 hot wings (because why not turn up the heat?), Peri Peri fries, and garlic bread, all washed down with an infinity tap—because unlimited drinks are the way to go.
I also couldn’t resist the Cheesy Chickle Burger with another side of Peri Peri fries (yes, double the fries = double the happiness!) and cheesy mash, which was smooth, creamy, and just the right kind of indulgent. The portion sizes were on point—I left completely full and satisfied.
A special shoutout to the Nando’s team for handling my allergy concerns with care—always great to see a restaurant go the extra mile for their customers. Safe to say, Nando’s never disappoints! Already looking forward to my next Peri-Peri fix!"
