.: Oman's Restaurants :.: NANDO'S

Location: Qurum, near CCC / 1st Floor Muscat City Center, Seeb
Menu: Portuguese dishes
My personal rating: 5 out of 5

Nando's serves mostly chicken and beef dishes. You can also advise them regarding the hotness of the chicken that you want according to their Perio-meter: lemon & herb, medium, hot, and extra hot peri-peri.

We love dining at Nando's especially if we want our meals with rice and don't want to eat at the food court especially on Friday's after attending church. Last time we were there, we only spent around RO 30-35, good for 5 persons during lunch, and all were full afterwards.

I think that their best seller is the Chicken Espetada, pictured below, and it really is good with regards to the taste and its presentation. But since we're looking out more on how to save and at the same time, enjoy the taste & portion of our food, I always suggest that we order the peri-peri chicken - marinated flame-grilled chicken, which can be ordered as quarter, half (2 pcs) or whole (4pcs). They also serve the peri-peri chicken as a meal and you can select the combination of sidelines that you want - spicy rice, potato wedges, french fries, coleslaw, etc.

They also have meals good for sharing between 2, 4 and 6 people. They also have a selection of mocktails and most of the drinks come with mint leaves (which I really dont like having in my drink, so I usually go for plain water only).

On a personal note, I prefer dining in their MCC branch because I feel that the chicken served there has more sauce in it rather than how they serve in Qurum branch, which is a bit dry.
