Kentish Town

Before this visit, Kentish Town was in my bottom handful of 'avoid' branches and so my expectations were somewhat low... which only made the surprise of receiving free gift boxes of half-a-dozen sauces all the more unexpected!

Ordered chicken in pitta with no salad but with cheese and peri chips plus a quarter chicken, was served a dry, plain piece of chicken in a pitta that was twice as big as the chicken and about the same thickness (no mayo, no cheese), plain chips (not only were they not peri seasoned but I suspect the oil hadn't been changed for a long while as they tasted horrible, the quarter chicken was ok but I guess you can't really mess that up, tables were not properly cleaned (my arm stuck to it!) I re

Walked in. No staff around and empty restaurant.
Staff member poked head out from behind the till area and asked me to leave as they were not open.
I pointed out that their sign said they open at 11:30am and the time was currently 12 noon.
Staff member replied, normally yes but today we open at 1pm - again I was asked to leave without further explanation.
I left and enjoyed a loverly pub lunch at the pub just round the corner.

Very unsatisfactory visit.

Got kicked out of Kentish town library and got soaked in the rain heading down to this nandos branch, half running, half taking shelter under store covers. This branch is pretty convenient to get to, half way between Camden road underground and Kentish town underground plus the overground. At least six different buses traverse this road, one taking you all the way to Tottenham court road. This branch is also on the high street and hard to miss so at least it is easy to find.

Very surprised at this store as I had heard a lot of negatives but was pleased when got there, It is on the main street in Kentish town near Mediterranean and health food stores where I feel it fits in well. Its placed on a curved corner which gives the interior an unusual shape with large garage like doors towards the back which I suspect open fully in the summer to bring the summer in and potted trees either side of the door.

Food took ages to be served, my friend had basically finished his meal by the time mine had come. Poor service

It has been a while since my last visit to Kentish Town Nando's so I deemed it time to give it another go especially as it had been one of the lowest rated London Nando's for a while. It must be said that it is nothing special from the outside and the ordering area can get messy since it is close to the entrance where people walk in and out but on this quiet Tuesday lunchtime, that was never going to be a problem.

Visiting this Nandos was a complete joy. Having previously been to the Nandos in Camden, My girlfriend and I were attending a Gig at Kentish Town Forum so decided to have our dinner in our favourite chicken shack.

Not too far from the tube station so ideal for a darting walk from the station to the restaurant. The decor could do with a lick of paint if you ask me, but I cannot fault the staff or the quality of the food. Attentive and friendly.

Came to this Nando's after going to watch a play across the road. The cast turned up for their dinner, was kind of weird!

The staff were actually alright on our visit, might have listened to some of the other reviews on here!

chicken and sauce it came in were burnt. mash potato was dry and tasteless, peas too spicy by far. tried to send the food back and was confronted as i'd eaten as much as i could they were confused that i'd eaten so much. i decided to get out of the branch asap, so i suggested they just replace the chicken and make it takeaway. however the new chicken was just as burnt if not more so.
