Nando's Peri-peri - Alexandria

I love Nando's in the UK and it had been a while since I last visited, so I had to stop by here. I was not disappointed! The service was friendly and the classic Nando's chicken was delicious. They really excel at doing one thing exceptionally well. I love it!

I had heard a lot about this restaurant, as we don't have any in New Jersey. While visiting Alexandria, we stumbled upon it while walking around. We decided to order the wings with extra hot sauce. I was excited to try it, but unfortunately, the wings were not spicy at all. I was disappointed as I was expecting a little more heat.

I tried the Bottomless Fro-yo with Dole Whip at this restaurant and it was amazing! I visited on a Friday night in Old Town Alexandria. It's a two-story Nandos with a friendly cashier. The chicken was tender and moist as always. The dole whip was delicious, but it melts quickly once it's served and turns into liquid within minutes.

This evening took a quick trip to old towne Alexandria and stopped at Nando's. It has a very cute vibe...simple and relaxed. We didn't know what we wanted at first so we picked up a menu and grabbed a table to before going up to the counter to order. I went with the pulled chicken bowl, charred sweet potato, and a slice of raspberry cheesecake. It was dropped off at our table really quickly. They offered to bring the cheesecake out after I'd finished my meal which was so thoughtful. Unfortunately I didn't stop to take any photos to showcase the deliciousness. Alas...I highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area.

I ordered their Peri Peri Chicken bowl with mango and lime 2/3/2021 via Uber Eats. My only issue is that my chicken was undercooked. Undercooked as in pink meat. Based on the reviews, I'm sure this isn't their norm. I was able to cook the strips in the microwave the rest of the way. The bowl was delicious! The chicken issue is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. I considered 3 stars but, I caught the issue and didn't get sick. The food was very tasty. Even the carrot cake!
