I am always excited to try new foods and when I went to London for Britmums Live 2013, I had something to look forward to. I was lucky enough to visit Nandos for dinner which was a real treat for me and I was accompanied by the lovely Jada from Unique Young Mum. I have tried many foods in the past but I was a Nandos virgin and after hearing lots of positive things, I could not wait to try there food which so many people talk about.
After a busy day, me and Jada headed back to our hotel to get ready for our exciting date night. We checked on the Nandos handy app on my iPhone for the nearest Nandos restaurant and found that we were closest to Nando's Spitalfields. We were pleased to see the restaurant closed at midnight so this gave us plenty of time to get ready and eat our food with plenty of time to spare.
When we arrived we were greeted by cheerful staff. I looked round and was surprised at how great the restaurant looked. It was smarter than I thought and I loved the red and black color schemes it had which matched everything down to the staffs uniform. Me and Jada were shown our seats and were given our menus. The tables were clean as were the floors and we were placed in the middle of the restaurant around other people which made a change from being stuck in a corner which I have experienced at so many other restaurants.
After having a look at the menu I was drawn to having the double chicken breast fillet wrap with added cheese and two regular sides; a side salad and chips. I also ordered a drink of coke which was a unlimited refill and I was treated to a selection of sauces. My meal came to £13.25 and my drink was just £2.45 and I was excited to see what it tasted like.
Our meals came quickly and we waited around 15 minutes. Whilst my food was being cooked I was impressed to see that the kitchen was open planned. I was able to see how my food was being prepared and cooked. When our food arrived I noticed it was beautifully presented, hot, fresh and smelt wonderful. After taking my first bite I instantly fell in love and I will definitely be visiting again. The food was simply delicious.
The chicken tasted wonderful and melted in my mouth. I loved the taste that it gave off. I liked the fact I was able to choose sides and I found that my salad was a quite generous potion. The chips were also lovely and I was really impressed.
Whilst at the Spitalfields restaurant I was happy to see that it was clean and that all the visitors were made to feel welcome. Everything was perfect and even upon visiting the toilets I was happy to report they had enough toilet roll and soap. The restaurant also had disabled facilities and baby changing.
I was surprised to see that Nandos offer a takeaway option and one day I would love to go to my local store and pick up a takeaway for me and Ben to enjoy.
