Located on the 4th floor of Plaza Singapura, this dining establishment has been a frequent choice for me over the years. The chicken size can vary, sometimes being larger and other times smaller. Taste-wise, the chicken remains juicy, including the white meat. However, the flavour itself is not particularly distinctive, though the sauce can add to it. The ordering process utilizes a QR code. I find the prices to be somewhat high given the quality. The lack of a service charge might explain the occasional inadequate service. The rice is flavorful, whereas the chips tend to be dry. As I usually stick to a few favourite dishes, my experience with other menu items is limited. The pitas are decent but can sometimes be overly thin and small. The soup can be too spicy; sometimes, it's tolerable. To avoid crowds, it is recommended to dine during less busy hours. Overall, the experience is satisfactory.

I have fond memories of Nando's from many years ago before I left Singapore; the food was good back then. My fiancée and I chanced upon the outlet at Plaza Singapura, and she also has had good experiences at Nando's before, so we decided to give it another try.
We ordered the 1/4 Chicken with 2 sides (Chargrill veg, Caesar salad), added-on the soup, Cheese Pita, Peri-Honey Yuzu Wings x4, and a Lemon Cooler. The pita, soup, and cooler arrived promptly. From their appearance, they weren't very appetizing. We suspected the soup came out of a can, and the pita was rather flat with the cheese barely visible. The wings arrived, and they were tiny. During our dinner, another patron went to the kitchen with the wings and correctly pointed out that they looked more like drumlettes than wings. The main dish was respectable and tasted alright.
We were seated near the kitchen area, and as the crowd built up, we noticed plates of food sitting on the kitchen counter, filling it up. Apparently, there was some confusion as to which plate went to which table. Perhaps the wait staff is new, and I certainly hope so.
It wasn't a great dinner experience, then again, it's more like a fast-food place. Well, I guess we'll have to adjust our previous impression of Nando's from here on.

Oh dear, not a great experience. The service at night is atrocious. They don't serve you and keep you waiting by the door, even though there are clearly tables available.
They seem to be understaffed, as the one cleaning the tables also seemed to be the one dealing with customers. This particular staff member did not seem to understand the meaning of haste; perhaps she was accustomed to other forms of cleaning, or perhaps it was a lack of training or desire to keep her job. Either way, very poor service.
Ordered the boneless thigh with 3 pots of perinaise sauce, along with wedges and chips. The chips were cold. The thighs were okay, and the wedges were okay. The 3 pots of sauce were actually only 2.1 pots (see attached picture). They just don't care about service.
Overall, only go here if you can't have Nando's in your home country, and even then, it's a stretch.

First time ordering, we didn't realize we needed to pay on the app first. We sat for 30 minutes before realizing we hadn't processed the order with payment. The staff didn't bother to check why we were sitting there so long. We ordered a number of dishes. Two pieces of boneless chicken thighs with one side cost $16.90. The meat was pathetically small; one piece could be finished in one or two bites. The food was generally okay, just a bit charred, but the portion was small. The only 'plus' point is that the plate size fits the price.

Nando's Bugis Junction – Where Chickens Go on a Diet Before Serving
We went to Nando's at Bugis Junction with stomachs rumbling and expectations high, hoping for a hearty, soul-warming meal. After all, when you're forking out $16.30 for boneless chicken thighs, you'd expect at least... a decent amount of chicken. Right?
What arrived at the table looked like something you'd find hiding behind the lettuce in a sad school lunchbox. The so-called "chicken thighs" could've passed for chicken thoughts—small, fleeting, and barely there. Blink and you might miss them. Or maybe that was the point: a culinary magic trick. Now you see it, now you're still hungry.
Let's be clear. For $16.30, I wasn't expecting a whole farmyard experience, but I also wasn't expecting appetizers for ants. Honestly, I've had more meat fall off a KFC drumstick I dropped on the floor.
The photos speak for themselves, but just to paint the picture: imagine paying steakhouse prices and receiving a snack-sized portion that would leave even a toddler asking, "Is that all?" At this point, I'd have had a more fulfilling experience (emotionally and nutritionally) at a fast food chain—and still walked away with change for dessert.
In conclusion: if you're looking to pay premium prices for portion sizes that would make a hamster complain, Nando's Bugis Junction is your spot. Otherwise, save your dollars and your dignity. You deserve a meal, not a mystery.
