Additional Comments: A splendid summer day at Kingsbury Nando's, what a fine way to start the month.

The staff were pretty friendly, decent service with a smile, was a bit irritated to see the person who had just served my friend his food begin to clear other tables as opposed to going back to the counter so that the time between the arrival of our meals would be minimal. Apart from that, no complaints.

Speed of service was not fantastic, especially considering that the place was only about a quarter full.

The food I must say was very good, well cooked and exceptionally tasty. This was the first Nando's I have been to where I was aware I was eating Halal chicken and this could be a factor, it must be said , good job. The chips as well were very good with a generous amount Peri-Peri salt which some branches have been guilty of being a bit stingy about.

Additional Comments: After struggling to find parking on the road which leads up to Kingsbury Tube Station (Jubilee Line), we managed to find a space on Honeypot Lane which was free rather than the pay and display spaces on the high street itself.
This Nando's is quite different from others in North London and offers a range of seating on normal chairs, stools and sofas.
It was a quiet Tuesday lunchtime when we strolled in and had our choice of table as the branch was so quiet. We sat near the window and ordered straight away. Branch Manager Adnaan was extremely helpful and put our order through. The food arrived after around 15 minutes although my friend's large peri chips did not arrive for a few minutes after the whole chicken which we were about to attack. It must be said that the large peri chips had been sprinkled with more peri peri salt than I had ever seen before and the chips portions themselves were extremely generous :).
Overall the food must be a 4.5, the chicken was great but I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had!
As for the decor, an impressive set of prints with matching circular frames caught my eye in this petite yet cosy Nando's!

Additional Comments: Passing this branch on the way to work I noticed that it is always full so I decided to go for lunch and was very impressed with the food. The decoration and friendliness of staff was nothing to write home about but the quality of the food was really impressive. Very tasty and my friends all thought the same. I would certainly go again and recommend it to all.
