George LeeNovember 13, 2015Despite just posting a wall of sauce bottles, I can highly recommend their peri peri chicken, happy hour peach sangria, wings, and cucumber salad. Fries are useful for trying out all their sauces too.
Savannah HillJune 22, 2016The chicken is so juicy and seasoned to perfection! I also love the grilled cheese and cupcakes.😋 The peas and rice are also good. I highly recommend going to Nandos.
As mayor of this here fine establishment, I highly recommend the medium spicy grilled chicken, garlic bread and mashed potatoes (if you're feeling extra ravenous). Forget the sandwich; too little meat
Steph GApril 9, 2013Nando's, I am so happy you are here in Bethesda. I thought that I would never have any more of your delicious chicken with an amazing sauce variety. Your sides are incredible too. Happiness.
Ola O'kaySeptember 26, 2014Savoury well seasoned and marinated chicken. Love them as quarter, half or just wings. Peri peri fries are nice too.- NOM NOM BorisJuly 27, 2012you just got to stop by and try 1/4 Chicken with Mango Sauce (5/5 NOMs). More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
- Stephen DAugust 7, 2014Full platter or wing platter is the best value. Don't bother with the ala carte.
Order between 5-5:30 before the crowd sets in. The 2 chicken family large thing w/four large sides is inhaled by our crew at home. Manager's rock it!
Jennifer JonesOctober 24, 2014So happy with the food here, my mother is so picky and she totally enjoyed the food and experience.
Ask for a rootbeer float and they'll give you a to-go cup--but make sure to check the yogurt flavor first!
Robin AldrichOctober 14, 2013The Macho Peas are amazing!! And try the Butternut Squash and Roasted Corn. Love this place!- Ryan BrownSeptember 30, 2012If you are in a chicken mood, hit Nandos and their Chicken Wraps! Bye, medium is like a hot sauce to other places, keep that in mind!
I usually get the medium spiced chicken, then load up on as much of the hotter sauces as I want. Try the different flavors.
Katy WilliamsonDecember 27, 2015Great place to get a platter and share with friends! Very flavorful.- Sarah ViningFebruary 3, 2012This is my new go-to spot! Grilled chicken wrap in medium with yogurt and chili sauce.
Allison KasicOctober 31, 2015Medium peri peri sauce is pretty much the best sauce that has ever existed.- Lunch time is busy but the wait is never more than 15 minutes at peak times -- based on my experience alone. This is not a scientific fact nor Nando certified. Chicken is crazy good son!
- About the only truly spicy food in Bethesda. Jen, Maria, and Lourdes are flat out awesome!
Garlic bread on the side has the right amount of crunch and taste!- The sofa machine is awesome but its really inefficient when there is a crowd. And what's up with the soft serve machine? That is not helpful Mr. Nando.
shane pattersonApril 7, 2012Love this place, digging the new Mango Lime Baste on the new Butterfly Breast!!
Vicki StarlightJanuary 15, 2012Hot IS hot. Veggie burger and salad fresh. But if u come at prime time plan to wait in more than one line.
James ClarkJuly 6, 2012Food is good, ordering is F'd up, no waitstaff. No nutritional info on their menu. Better run/organized restaurants in Bethesda, don't bother with this place.
Cenk DurakMarch 6, 2019Soslari kesinlikle denenmeli, portekiz pilavi gayet başarili, bethesda bolgesinde ilk 3 rahat olur..

PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird's Eye Chili, is the key to our legendary, South African flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. We mix PERi-PERi with salt, garlic, lemon, onion, oil, and vinegar to make our signature sauce. Then we marinate our chicken in it for 24 hours. You choose the heat!
