Love Nando's (both this one and the one on Connecticut Ave in DC). The vibe here is nicer in some ways because of the location in Rio mall, but it can get really crowded because it is not very big. Apart from the famous chicken (which kids also love), the couscous salad and veggie sandwich/roll with haloumi cheese are real... More

The atmosphere is pretty trendy. My favorite side dish was the corn. You order the food at the counter and they bring it to you.

Upon entering, we were given a choice of seats and it was explained to us how to proceed. Look at the menu, head up to the counter, place our order and wait for it to be brought. Easy enough. Great drink machine, but at over $2.00 a glass, that is expensive. The chicken was good! The kids' meals were large!... More

Nice setting at Rios. My younger son chose the place (he has been to a different location). It was a family dinner and we all loved it. Reasonable portions, good preparation. I loved the corn on the cob and the Chicken. They do have some nice and spicy sauces. Will definitely go again.

I do love going to Nando's with my family. Almost every week we visit their restaurant in Washington DC. We live in Virginia so it is easier for us to go to the one near Dupont Circle. I have been to this Nando's in Gaithersburg, MD for the second time, and I could say I love it for the second... More

This place has good food. The best thing about it is enjoying the outdoor atmosphere on a warm summers eve. Located on the water, it provided a relaxing end to the day.

This was my first time at Nando's and I was impressed. I had a quarter chicken with garlic bread and mashed potatoes. Seasoning on the chicken was outstanding. Garlic bread melted in your mouth. Mashed potatoes were good too. Prices were reasonable too. Parking is also free at the garage right across the street too.

If you enjoy chicken, you'll like this place. The atmosphere is fun. It's located in the Washingtonian shopping area where Rio is. The food is good, the service is friendly, and the price is decent. I get salads, my husband gets half chicken with two sides. All of their side dishes are good, too. We've tried many of them. They... More

Although this is positioned as a restaurant, I classify it more as a takeaway or fast food outlet - but the best one there is. I'm South African and this Nando's is better than any Nando's I can find at home! The pita was nice and crunchy, not soggy. The extra's like spicy nuts, olives and pasteis de nais are... More
