This is the only US Nando's I've seen that has two completely self-sufficient seating areas both upstairs and downstairs, so you never have to go up or downstairs to order, get drinks, etc. There is ample space in the seating area, so you never feel cramped.

Oldest lettuce i was served in year, nice to have a mushroom something in a pita vegi meal.
But come on guys, i get it, its a chicken place, but if you serve vegi food then focus on it , focus.
Otherwise you will be always a place only for Chicken fans, besides your chicken wrap has to little chicken in it anyway.
Fries are delicious but who had the ludicrous idea to charge for ketchup and mayo 75 cents and even spiced salt 15 cent extra.

This store is in old town Alexandria, a very picturesque historic riverside town, the store which is on the main street matches this with awesome artwork, unique design features such as a hole from the 1st floor down to the ground floor which provides a interesting balcony and a chance to hang the lights down. Downstairs the front windows are capable of opening up to bring the outside in, large benches in the round provide seating and a large service till.

This was my first visit to Nando's in Old Town Alexandria though I have been to numerous Nando's in London and Melbourne Australia. But I dragged along 5 other Nando's newbies and... I was blown away by this store. Nando's in Alexandria had the best chicken of any Nando's I've been to. It took a few minutes to serve 6 of us, but it was fantastic. The beer was cold, the sides were good, but, oh the chicken. It was fantastic!
