Nando's Solihull

You're up in the Upper Arcade at Touchwood, which means easy access and no faffing about finding a table on a busy Saturday. Nando's does what it does well—flame-grilled peri-peri chicken that you can actually taste, not some bland corporate compromise. Pick your heat level (half chicken runs about £12-14), nail your sides, and you've got a proper meal that doesn't pretend to be something it's not. The place pulls in families, groups of mates, and solo diners without trying too hard. Service moves at a decent pace, and the vibe is straightforward and unpretentious.
