Nando's Bethnal Green

You know the drill with Nando's, but this Bethnal Green location gets it right. The kitchen's got rhythm, your chicken arrives properly charred with that smoky char you're after, and the halloumi fries are criminally good—especially when you're three pints deep at one of the communal tables. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a casual weeknight dinner with mates or taking your parents somewhere they'll actually enjoy. The staff move with purpose rather than apathy, which makes all the difference when you're ordering your third round of sides.
