Nando's - overrated

[Ari]

Oporto>Nandos

Agreed. Nandos is great, but Oporto is better.... their chilli burgers are GREAT!

 

[Karbassiyoon]

I think its Figo (Overrated) or C.Ronaldo.

only a man u fan would say c. ronaldo is better than figo

luis! luis! luis!

 

[mace007]

All I've ever seen from Oporto's are ridiculous amounts of grease - far far more than Maccas or anywhere else.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

go get 'oporto' instead ~

Meh, bought one of their burgers a while back. Made a McDonald's cheeseburger look big (and appealing).

Nando's extra hot chicken breast rocks.

 

[ben.carbonaro]

Just because you plebs cant afford it, doesn't make it overrated.

That's right, you might be paying more but the burgers are great some of the best I have ever tasted much better than KFC that's for sure.

has anyone tried something similar, Oporto ?
www.oporto.com.au

What are your thoughts if you have tried it ?

Bondi Burger for me.

anyone remember there 'NO FAT CHICKS' stickers

I think I deserve a "I make chicks hot" t shirt.

Because it's true.

No, it started originally in South Africa if my memory serves me correctly.

I've never heard of Nando's, I don't believe we have them down here, atleast not in the Southern part of the state.

Portugal actually.

where do you live??!!! Oh, Tassie -that's OK. I live in a town of about 30 people in the middle of the WA desert and although we don't have Nando's in town, I have tried it and heard of it.

 

[hoss]

I know it is piri-piri chicken from an old Portuguese recipe (back in 14th century), but I also think that the company Nando's first opened in South Africa.

I've seena few adverts on TV for some places over the mainland, when Southern Cross switches to Seven. But their name has yet to come up, I think Northern Tasmania might have a Red Rooster, well I think they used to.

Not sure about Nando's though, in the south (where i am from) we only have Hungry Jacks, KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, and a few Pizza joints.

Never heard of KFC or McDonalds, though I think I heard an advertisement for Hungry Jacks the other night when our family was huddled around the wireless.

 

[The Scarecrow]

We'll probably get one down here eventually.

 

[Jabber]

Portugal actually.

South Africa actually.

 

[Darealrath]

The more i have Peri Peri sauce the more i crave it...

 

[Thrawn]

The more i have Peri Peri sauce the more i crave it...

Although the extra hot peri peri sauce is nothing to brag about...

 

[mantis]

South Africa actually.

I stand corrected then, just my local Nando's has these signs everwhere saying "öriginal Portugese recipe", so I naturally assumed it was Portugese, silly me, easy mistake to make.

OH & Thrawn, I usually love very hot food, but even I can't take the extra Hot Peri Peri.

 

[god_of_the_universe]

this thread has made me want nanos
Word of mouth advertising does it again
back later

It's a portugese recipe - The guy who started Nandos was portugese, and opened his first shop in Johannesburg.

 

[theorangeapple]

the 'burgers' are poor. but the chicken is nice. as some people have said before, a burger is not chicken and lettuce and bun.

 

[sabre_ac]

Not often I agree with you Yze_Magic, but you are spot on here.
The thing that makes it overated is the price, what a joke most meals are around the 10 dollar mark and it doesnt even taste that good.
I love how they now sell the sauces for ridiculous prices, the con continues.

So I was half right, Nandos beginnings were portugese, but first commercial outlet for this recipe was in South Africa, OK.
