Soho Square - Marc Joss Review

This branch has been recently refurbished and it definitely shows even if some parts still lack the classic Nando's feel. The booths downstairs have an outer space feeling to them and while the seating is very comfortable, the current table is not quite big enough to fit. You can of course order downstairs too where the whole range of cutlery, drinks and sauces are available.
On this particular visit, our party was the only one in the downstairs seating area as it was not a particularly busy Wednesday lunch time.
My order was taken straight away and the food arrived within 10 minutes. It was nice to be asked if I had a preference as I had a free quarter chicken then ordered another quarter to go with it as well as my double peri chips. Many keen Nandoers remain unaware that you can choose leg or breast when you have a quarter (free or not), maybe more Nandocas should make this clear when customers are ordering, just a thought!
Although my preference was for one leg and one breast, I was served two breasts (more meat you would suspect) along with 2 decent portions of peri chips. The food went down well even though I was not fully satisfied on completion. Maybe a starter or dessert would have done the job.
This branch is centrally located in Soho and if you approach it from Greek Street, then turn left onto Bateman Street, you will walk past the most impressive piece of decor: the mammoth red cockerel which sits in the restaurant window. You can't miss it and no doubt the puns will be flowing as was the case on this visit!
