Nando's Coventry - City

You know exactly what you're getting when you walk into this Trinity Street spot, and sometimes that's precisely what you want. Tucked into the old Ribbon Factory building, it's got that familiar Nando's energy – the kind of place where you can rock up after shopping in the city centre or before catching a film, knowing you'll get decent chicken done properly. The service here moves at a good clip, which matters when you're proper hungry, and they don't mess about with the cooking. Your butterfly chicken arrives hot, your chips are crispy, and the peri-peri sauce hits exactly as it should. It's not trying to be anything other than reliable fast-casual food, and in a city centre location like this, that reliability counts for something.
