| Branch of the grilled chicken chain at [[Locale Elephant And Castle|Elephant and Castle]], next to the [[Elephant And Castle, SE1 6BN|Elephant and Castle pub]]. Nando's is Portuguese-themed and originated in South Africa according to their website. It is very unlikely to be authentically Portuguese. |
Branch of grilled chicken chain at elephant and castle. Newington causeway. You queue up to get givfn a table and the menu. You queue again to place and pay for your order. You collect your own cutlery etc and fill up your unlimited fizzy drink 1.95. After some time your food is brought to you. |

The Nando's experience seems to involve a lot of queuing. You queue up to get given a table and the menu. You queue again to place and pay for your order. You collect your own cutlery and fill up your unlimited soft drink. After some time your food is brought to your table. If you want a dessert you queue up again. |
In theme background music. Half chicken, rice and corn was 8.50. Drink was 1.95. |

[[secretlondon]] visited this branch one Wednesday afternoon in March 2009. I queued for about 5 to 10 minutes both times and noticed there was a queue out the door when I left (at around 4pm). I therefore wonder what it is like at peak times. |
No queuing system was chaotic at 3pm weekday.. |

I had a half chicken, rice and corn on the cob (£8.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3347266021/ photo]</small>. You can choose the heat (spiciness) of the sauce. Medium wasn't particularly hot. The food was okay for a chain but a bit on the stingy side. |
Food was okay but stingy. Glass for fizzy drink was hot. 020 7378 7810. You choose between heats of sauce. Medium wasn't particularly hot. |
