my favourite are their chicken wing and the liver. Like their avocado juice. Although we thought the chicken is over price, we always going back to that restaurant.

They really are expert in preparing good chicken. Although I did not enjoy the sour chicken that much, but still I would give it a 5 star rating for its chicken espetada. And the Peri Peri sauce is the best thing about this restaurant.

Chicken Espetada is delicious, but overpriced, as others have mentioned. Also, their ketchup option is generic and terrible. It's 5 stars for taste, but 3 stars for price, and negative 5 stars for ketchup.

We like Nando's. Chicken grill and portuegese roll is just fine. but the heat indicator is not standard. sometimes spicy is just no spicy enough..

I heard a lot about this one so we decided to go there last week. Nice atmosphere, quick service. But the food... plain normal and quite expensive for that. Not going back there in the near future.

Eating in; Nice staff and the food was quickly delivered. Loved the chicken and the rice. Nice food.

However, once tried to order a takeaway, took them 3 hours to deliver; we live on the same road as them, they said the delivery would take 25 minutes.

I had phoned up to cancel and complain but the Manager assured me it was on the way.

We gave up, I cooked and then the food came. We refused delivery. Never been back since, nor will we.

We had a Finance Staff Dinner there last night after we played bowling at City Center Bowling Center. Chicken Espetada is delicious, as well as their Mediterranian Salad, but i guess you guys are right, we noticed that the price of their food is a bit expensive. Even though we didn't pay for our food cz our boss treat us after a hectic schedule for our year end closing, we really think that the price of the food is a bit expensive but it really taste good..so I'm giving a rating of 5 star...

I love this place. As others have mentioned, it's about 45QR for the chicken espatatas, which can't be called cheap, but I think it's worth it.

I also love the lentil soup. A recent addition to the menu is beef too.

The service is fast, the menu is good and the place is clean.

And yes, they now have Heinz ketchup!

3 locations that I know of - City Center, Salwa Road, and Al Waab Street near Royal Plaza.

After hearing a lot about Nandos, me n my hubby gave it a try yesterday but were very disappointed.

Service - Okay
Food presentation - Nice
Food taste - Terrible. We tried Chicken Espeteda (spelling error maybe) with mild spice.
Price - Very very high
Drinks - No Pepsi, no Dew, we had to take Sprite & Coca cola but they didnt help in creating a good taste with the food.

Moral of the story: We are not going back there again :)

Review Rate : 2 stars for the service

This restaurant is over rated. The reason they have so many sauces is to hide the taste of badly cooked chicken. I've been to Nando's in other countries but the one in Doha is a bad example of this well known chain.

It's been given a rating of 1 out of 5 because there isn't rating below 1.

I move to Doha and wonder, what restaurants do they have hear, that they had back in London? Immedietly I hope they have a Nandos. I finally find out that there is a Nandos, and so I try it out in City Center. I couldn't believe what I was having!!! Nandos was supposed to be know for it's flame-grilled, spicy chicken! I had ordered an extra-hot quarter chicken, and yet it seemed like the chicken I was eating really wasn't chicken at all, it seemed like bland cardboard to me! I decided to get some of the sauce myself and pour it all over it. Whatever happened to "marinated for 24 hours"!? I'm disgusted with Nandos in Doha, and I'm definitely not going there again.

Last month, while my uncle and cousin visited, i decided to go out with them for dinner to a resteraunt i never attended before. while driving in the streets, i encountered Nandos. i entered and ordered the special for my family. now first off, it took them literally 45-60 minutes to cook up the most disgusting food i ever ate in my entire life. the chicken tasted like a donkey's ass with sour cream on it, and the drinks tasted like [Mod Removed]in piss! the creater of this resteraunt should be raped and butt-[Mod Removed]ed by a 100-inch cock and get his face shoved up a camels ass.

Went here with the family. Never going back..Only thing good about this place is the decor of the place. Very clean and nice. The staff were a bit on the slow side. We had to keep looking for when he'll pass us to stop him which he sometimes didn't even look our way. we ordered the chicken and steak on the skewers..nice presentation but thats all..food wasn't at all what I expected. Very bland..and i dont eat dark meat so i sat there picking at the rice..which wasn't at all flavorful! my daughter who loves spicy food ordered this chicken dish which the waiter asked if she wanted it spicy and she said yes..and BOY WAS IT SPICY!!! She couldn't even eat it!!! And my daughter LOVES spicy food! will not come back to this place..waste of money for sure!

We eat there at least once a week. Normally the one on Salwa road. Parking is good. The place is always clean. We can get ice without asking 20 people for the stuff that is cold. Service is always great.
We are use to Tex-Mex cuisine where the food is hot and spicy. This is perfect for us. My wife gets her plate medium and I always need the ice to cool down with when I order the spicy chicken. The chicken strips and roasted veggies are one of the best deals in Doha. They have even started giving complimentary soup with a Portugese roll. Give this place a try if you havent already. One of the better values in Doha.

Bought half a chicken yesterday and saw the smallest ever pieces for ridiculously high price. I come from South Africa and I think they need to go there and learn how to do it.One out of five because the taste is almost there.

I remember going to this restaurant when it had opened up and it was amazing ! But that was back then !

went there yesterday .... (salwa road branch)
and it was whole different experience ... we placed our orders and they didnt even serve us our drinks or even the salad n appetizers after 45min !! on asking the staff they kept saying '1 min' . to top it off the family that arrived 20 min after we did got their orders. we decided to walk out of the place ... on our request to see the manager .we were told that he had gone home !

one of the most horrible experiences in any restaurant in Qatar and ive been a resident here for 2 decades! shame really ..
