What is it about Nandos when it comes to student eating? It seems to have become more and more student-friendly over the years. If it wasn't the free refills, which satisfy all your fizzy sugary needs, the introduction of the Nandos 'Loyalty Card' certainly sealed the deal. Obtaining a free quarter, half, and then WHOLE chicken got all students taste buds tantalising, demanding them to go back for more. The sight of the iconic 'Nandos Stamp' printed on your precious card warms the cockles of students hearts, as they get closer and closer to what all students love: Free Food. But this cunning marketing strategy would only succeed if the food was truly delicious, surely?
What is so great about Nandos food is that it can satisfy all tastes and choices. Whether you like your chicken steaming with spice, or just enough to excite the taste buds, Nandos has a variety of marinades to suit all. On top of this, the customer has the freedom to pick their accompaniments to their chicken. When the calorie-counters of us see the dreaded 'all meals served with chips' something makes us very frustrated, wanting to get all our monies worth by forcing down each one even when we don't really want to.
So, as a student health-conscious blog, I would recommend the spicy rice and corn on the cob to complement your free quarter, half, or whole chicken. You avoid the delicious (yet horribly fattening) creamy mash (yes, made with CREAM) and salty, deep fried chips with extra Peri-Peri salt. Your corn on the cob comes with butter but separate from it, giving you the option to treat yourself or not. Ultimately, it works perfectly for those students who LOVE Nandos but don't want to walk away feeling bloated and guilty. Of course Nandos is not going to aid any diet you are currently on, but this is my student-healthy (different from normal healthy!) tip for this restaurant. Because, lets face it, students could never deny themselves a Nandos!
