Jade TokarczykFebruary 13, 2013Chicken is juicy and tender (hot sauce not that hot). Recommend chips (properly crispy!) and avo salad as sides. Apple pie is a must have - love how its served with a spoon straight from the tray :)
Adam FJuly 24, 2014So I could say "Try the chicken. It is really incredible." But that's just obvious. This hip underground Mecca for chicken is killing it with awesome side. Do not go past the Apple Pie.
The chicken is excellent here but the real surprise is the desert, apple pie and brownie are both amazing. This place has a nice relaxed atmosphere with casual but good service!
Mark JenkinsJune 15, 2013Nandos..pffff. Tramshed...pfff This is the best chicken in London. Cheap, good service and the all importanr factor. JUICY. Booking recommended as we had to wait an hour in the pub
Tom AylottSeptember 12, 2012Absolutely fantastic antithesis to "nando's culture". Beautiful flavour in the chicken, sauces and coleslaw, and the Apple Pie is great. Great dining experience for a very reasonable price.
Johannes DriessenMay 21, 2017Chicken and Waffles made all my dreams come true. Drank an old fashioned which wasn't the best, but otherwise a decent meal.
Yash AgarwalMay 17, 2014Amazing quarter chicken for 4.5.. And awesome sauce... Generally busy.. Come here put your name for a place.. Then pop to Southampton arms for some good beer... And come back when they call you...
Aris GalatisDecember 21, 2015Tired of bland ol' roast chicken? Then pay a visit to this underground (literally) gem; best chicken on the spit I've tasted; own sauces r yummy. Service friendly. Apple pie is top; brownie not really
MonicaFebruary 18, 2013The best apple pie in town! The corn on the cob is delish too and they bring it with melted garlic butter on a side ! Yum!
Harrison Nathaniel-WurieNovember 29, 2012As tasty as the no-nonsense Rotisserie Chicken and sides are, ordering dessert here is a must. The Apple Pie gets most of the love but the Chocolate Brownie is highly recommended, too!
Shail PatelAugust 28, 2017Still great after several years. Menu has expanded beyond rotisserie to chicken burgers, nuggets and wings. Great cocktails and sides.
Pasa MustafaSeptember 27, 2013Epic chicken. Take an easy session. Have a drink before meal, have chicken then defo eat pudding this place is ace!!!
LisaDecember 15, 2013You will never step foot in a Nandos again! Super succulent and tasty (free range) chicken. And my God, their apple pie is deeeeelish! 😋👌
Ruby V.September 8, 2013The cole slaw and butter lettuce & avocado salad are top... and sadly so are the fries. Chicken is second to none, but that almost goes without saying.
Vic McGinApril 4, 2015Get a whole chicken to share between two, with avo salad. Cozy, with great fast service. Thumbs up.- Yash AgarwalMarch 19, 2014great value for money.. go for the quarter chicken if moderately hungry.. its good quantity.. really good chicken.. much better than nandos
The Times and Sunday TimesSeptember 26, 2014Perfect steamed-then-spit-roasted free-range Norfolk chicken in a supercool American-style restaurant at a price point just a sniff beneath Nando’s... Read more
Marco SousaMarch 2, 2015All the awesomeness of the other Chicken Shops but with better service. Recommended after a stroll through Hampstead.
BarChickAugust 27, 2013Pull up a red leather seat and watch those chickens roasting under the swinging red lamps.
VivOctober 6, 2012When we ordered the apple pie for dessert, they brought the whole baking dish to us and asked us how much of it we wanted!
Daniel MeadJuly 17, 2018Damn good chicken! Delicious, moist meat, tasty garlic mayo, what’s not to like!
Steven ParkerOctober 2, 2012Don't think in nando's portions, you'll end up force feeding yourself all the chicken. House red very drinkable. Apple pie worth it, whether or not you think you have room.
Cai YAugust 25, 2013Not one thing was wrong in this place! I'm making it my favourite chicken place in London! DO TRY THE PIE OR BROWNIE!!!
Roberto BuaAugust 10, 2014Best roast chicken I've ever had. Impeccable service, great space. Highly recommended!
Haaris ZafarNovember 2, 2014Chicken good size. Cole slaw v good. Leave space for brownie. Can't go wrong here!
Carl ClancySeptember 22, 2014Great chicken but the hot sauce was thoroughly disappointing. Lovely staff though and the apple pie is top notch.
Darren WeakeOctober 26, 2014Everything is great, the chicken, sauces, coleslaw, chips and especially the apple pie!
ArielleDecember 5, 2014Delicious. Speedy. Definitely have dessert and try to get extra crispy chips.
Cheap and cheerful, a posh, more importantly free range, Nandos and my new favourite post-work snack stop
Peter SnowJune 29, 2013Great place. Good food, wonderful staff and since we went early evening no waiting!
BarChickNovember 7, 2012Head down the stairs into this dark den that pays homage to the one and only… the chicken (not the egg)....
Aparajita DalalApril 23, 2014I had to take a doggy bag because I couldn't leave without having apple pie!
Daniel RolleNovember 16, 2012Get a seat by the bar - and make sure you get the apple pie for dessert
You must get apple pie, no matter how full you think you are. It is law.
Anna HargreavesJanuary 16, 2013Half a chicken is way too much for a girl! But they let you take what you don't eat home for a tasty chicken snack!
