Lucky People of Dublin & Cork tell me....

It's really tasty. I like it a lot. Just for not the prices you pay for it over here.

It's tasty but too expensive for what it is.

Over rated for the price you pay. Marginally healthier than KFC comparing most menu items.

It's fantastic. Spicy marinated grilled chicken. It's not deep fried and it's not coated in god knows what that KFC coating is and there's no gravy. I'm not sure how people can think it's anywhere near KFC in terms of how unhealthy it is.

I don't even think it's particularly overpriced. Compared to a McDonalds or KFC it is more expensive but it's infinitely nicer. Compared to Eddie Rocketts it's similar in price but a whole lot nicer. It's similar in price to pub grub and the like, but pub grub is very often terrible. Do I prefer Nando's to a dried out, overcooked piece of beef that's been sitting under a head lamp for the last 2 hours, with a side of vacum packed veg, watery gravy and stuffing that doesn't taste remotely like stuffing? Yes I certainly do. Nando's chicken tastes like chargrilled chicken which is lovely!

And the sides are grand. Nothing amazing, but sweetcorn, coleslaw, chips, mint peas. They're nice, I wouldn't rave about them.

It's KFC for people who can use a knife and fork.

Chipper food at restaurant prices, what's not to like?

Tis grand. Not much bang for your buck.

If you're in Cork, wanting chicken and you don't go to Hillbilly's you're doing it wrong!

Where are these better cheaper places? I know of the places that are worse but cheaper like KFC, McDonald's, etc. I know of similar priced places that aren't as good like Eddie rockettes, Milano's and the like. But what places are nicer and cheaper? Or even as nice and cheaper?

I agree that nandos is very simple - it's just nicely marinated and nicely cooked chicken. But not many places just do something simple and do it well. I've often paid the same in a pub for a mediocre burger and chips or fish and chips or whatever.
