About Nando's Gloucester Road
Nando's Gloucester Road is a restaurant on Gloucester Road in London serving flame-grilled peri-peri chicken. Diners choose whole birds or individual parts, with the chicken marinated in peri-peri and grilled to order. Sauce comes in a range of heat levels, from medium up through hot and extra hot, letting each table set its own spice level. Fries are served alongside as a side, and the menu extends to chicken-based wraps and sandwiches beyond the classic plates. The format centers on that made-to-order grill approach rather than a fixed set menu, with heat and cut chosen at the point of ordering.

Customer Review Summary
The grilled chicken draws the most praise, described repeatedly as tender, juicy, and never dry, with one reviewer calling the cooking "just perfect" and another highlighting the peri-peri sauce for its complex flavor. Close behind, the great imitator wrap and its herb sauce earn specific mention, and several reviewers enjoy customizing sides with the various sauces, along with crispy fries and unlimited drinks or ice cream. Service is described as friendly and attentive across most visits, with staff praised for accommodating large groups and helping kids feel looked after. One reviewer notes the advertised heat levels run milder than expected, from medium to extra hot. A more serious complaint comes from one diner who received cold, limp chips and then found a hair in a salad; the dish was replaced, though the reviewer felt the manager should have apologized personally rather than the situation feeling brushed off.

“When you need a cheeky Nando's then the job is a goodun here. Friendly staff, good location and timely food. As a complete aside I do however feel like they missed out on a trick by not respectfully updating the historical Dino's restaurant signage to somehow read Nandino's restaurant (so the changes are superficial and can later be removed if needed)”

“The food was fantastic, we had the great imitator wrap and it was beautifully balanced and packed with flavour. The herb sauce is exquisite (should be a wrap flavour imo). The heat scale is a joke - extra hot is mild, hot is probably the spiciest but still pretty medium, and medium is definitely mild. The extra extra hot sauce is pretty mild as well. 😅 Nevertheless, it is delicious and nothing beats the herb sauce.”
