there is absolutely nothing wrong with nandos . anyone who objects to nandos 1) obviously can't taste things because any brand of peri peri chicken is delicious 2) is a walking middle-class cliche 3) is a total snob 4) is a racist. i rest my case

I like Nandos. It tastes good. Don't think it can legitimately be characterised as the hub of a culinary Mecca though can it? Especially with Bella Pasta and La Tasca as supporting evidence.

I plan to visit every Nandos in the country. It is my favourite restaurant. I have been to La Gavroche and the Michelin starred bastards wouldn't let me choose the spiciness of my duck legs and where is the fun in that, I ask you?

is it bad? worse than chickpizz? i've never been tempted, to be honest. we should have a nando's one day in dalston. i've been there before and i've been to the violent one in shepherd's bush.

I'd say worse than chickpizz, yes. Burgers are nice though. So are the chips.

The Nandos in Dalston is a fairly inferior one (the Finsbury Park one is worth the additional journey) but I expect the Church Street one to be all posh and wicked. Shepherd's Bush is a good one; you can even drive in, ho ho ho!

As am I, though I have concerns about the seating capacity and to this end I'd like to see Fresh and Wild, Abney Park Cemetary, both bookshops and that bloody baby clothes shop bulldozed to make way for extra Nandoses (Nandae?). Wouldn't mind sacrificing that church and a bit of Clissold Park too.

i have looked up the stokey nandos on the rather flashy nandos website. apparently there will be no baby changing facilities. this will be the best place ever

The Finsbury Park one has the fastest service I have ever experienced. It was literally 5 mins after I ordered that I got my half chicken and my friend's pitta. The staff were nice too :)

I think Nando's is pretty good for a chain. Is it just me, or does the "hot" sauce taste hotter than the "extra hot" sauce?

Nando's totally rules. The ones in South Africa have sauces that are so hot that I was ill!

I'd love to come to this and meet you all flesh-wise but I've just moved house and am totally stressed out, and went to the pub the other night and it all got too messy cos I'm so stressed that confronted with beer I was just i) insatiable and ii) a nightmare and so I'm best not seen by man or beast til this is all sorted out but hope you have a nice one.

This made me laugh heartily this morning:

http://www.boycottnandos.org.uk

"their desire to clog up the clean air of Clissold Park with the stench of battery farmed chicken grease and chip shortening"

Oh yes and the suggestion that people should object on the grounds of public safety - because it's near some playgroups and primary schools.

I would hate for the fragrance of three bus routes to be obliterated by the smell of non-Fresh-and-Wild produce.

How long did the other half of your chicken take to arrive?
