Nando's Elephant & Castle

You're heading down Newington Causeway towards the roundabout, and Nando's sits comfortably inside Metro Central Heights—the kind of place that pulls in everyone from office workers grabbing lunch to families after a cinema trip. It's unpretentious and honest: decent Portuguese-inspired flame-grilled chicken at reasonable prices, with enough heat levels to suit whoever's at your table. Nothing fancy, but it does what it does properly, which is why locals keep coming back and the ratings stay solid.
