Bethesda Row - snowcover Review

This Nando's is in a great location in the middle of Bethesda Row, and also happens to be the closest branch to where I live. The service and food quality are always top notch, but the only drawback is that is in a very high-rent area, so the seating area/capacity is pretty small, so there are only a handful of booths, and the rest of the tables are of the round-table variety.

There also isn't too much room for the queue before you reach the door, and there's absolutely nowhere to stand whilst waiting for a table. The handwashing basin is also adjacent to the soft drink machine, silverware area, and frozen yogurt machine, so that area can become a madhouse, too.

I order takeaway from this branch much more frequently than dining in, and they often forget to include the drizzle with my hummus order, so I've learnt to double check it every time before walking out.

There is an adjacent parking structure, but it gets very crazy on weekends, and especially during the evenings - I've spent as long as 30 minutes stuck inside that thing, between making my way up to the top, discovering there were no spaces, then making my way back down (it's a slow process thanks to all the people who feel the need to block traffic whilst waiting for someone who may or may not vacate a space). Instead, I recommend parking in the Capital Crescent Garage just down Bethesda Avenue - it's free on weekends and cheap any other time, is easy to navigate, always has plenty of available spaces, and is only a two-minute walk from Nando's. There's also always the metro, which is about a seven-minute walk away.
