Additional Comments - This will make you stand out in the competition! Unique aspects? Student discounts? Parking tips?: 

Like all sane people I think that Nandos serves the nicest food ever, it is the equivalent of a McDonald's treat meal for teenagers and adults in their mid-twenties so imagine my excitement when I discovered a Nandos in Auckland after a month of tasteless american food.

the whole layout inside is obviously the same so I had high expectations.

My first shock came when I ordered olives for a starter as they are the nicest part of my meal however I was told that they do not sell them over there (probably to do with where New Zealand is geographically)

In terms of the main course it can not be compared with the English standards, the chicken was rubbery and the marinade sauce tasted extremely chemically. All in all I was deeply upset about not fulfilling my Nandos craving whilst travelling and had to wait another 4 months before I could attack a half chicken platter with satisfaction :)
