This Nando's has the unusual distinction of having nearly half of its seating outdoors, which is great in nice weather, but not so great any other time. To their credit, there is a nice canopy creating shade for the patio, as well as very nice patio furniture, sofas, etc. The outdoor area becomes an ice rink in the winter.

This was out first visit to Nandos so we weren't sure what to expect. I'm assuming that the decor (which we liked) is standard and the quality of the food (which we liked) is average for Nandos. The staff were friendly, but scarce, tending to hang out by the food prep area or hostess station. This was problematic because we received one entree in 25 minutes (a chicken salad with dates) and then waited and waited for the other entree.

This store is the closest to the Pentagon and is in a new Arlington area shopping centre surrounded by main roads with the major traffic jams to prove it. Parking is in underground car parks where you pay a fortune upon return to your car, my machine didn't take cash and would only except cards which cost me dear with a UK card.
