Oh dear not a great experience. So the service at night is atrocious. They don't serve you and keep you waiting by the door even though there are clearly tables.
They seem to be understaffed as the one cleaning the tables seemed to also be the one dealing with customers. This one in question did not know the meaning of haste perhaps she had been used to other forms of cleaning or perhaps just lack of training or desire to keep her job. Either way very poor service.
Ordered the boneless thigh with 3 pots of perenaise sauce with wedges and chips. Chips were cold. Thighs were ok. Wedges were ok. 3 pots were actually 2.1 pots (see attached picture). They just don't care about service.
Overall only go here if you can't have nandos in your home country and even then it's a stretch.

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, well… 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.

It's very delicious, though slightly pricey (speaking as a student). I enjoyed the sweet potato fries a lot (not pictured). It's a nice place to share a meal with friends and/or family!

Nando’s at Bugis Junction is a great spot if you’re craving flavorful flame-grilled chicken with a spicy kick! 🍗🔥 Their PERi-PERi chicken is always juicy, tender, and grilled to perfection. You can choose your preferred spice level – from the mild Lemon & Herb 🍋🌿 to the fiery Extra Hot 🌶️ – so there’s something for everyone.
The set meals are a good deal, especially the 1/4 or 1/2 chicken combos with two sides 🍽️. I personally love pairing mine with Mediterranean rice 🍚 and grilled veggies 🥦. They’ve also got PERi-PERi bowls, wraps, and burgers if you’re looking for something different – all customizable and packed with flavor 😋.
The ambiance is cozy and casual, great for a chill lunch or dinner 🪑🕯️. Service can be a bit slow during peak hours ⏳, but the staff are generally friendly and helpful 😊. It’s usually less crowded during off-peak times, so that’s the best time to go for a smoother experience 🕰️.
If you love bold flavors and don’t mind a little heat, Nando’s is definitely worth checking out! ✅ Bonus points for being conveniently located right in Bugis Junction – perfect for a meal after shopping or exploring the area 🛍️🚶♂️.

First time eating at this branch.
Layout and ambience ok. Cleanliness good. It s work day so not too crowded.
Service attentive and prompt. Though all orders using apps but they still help with questions.
Foods and drinks:
- the galao is nice especially if you are looking for something non sugar.
- the new menu honey thigh chicken bowl also very nice. Adequate portion with good sides add ons
- sweet potato fries just too yummy cant stop once you start
Overall it is very nice and a good option if you are hungry at bugis junction mall.

Paid $8++ for 4 pcs yuzu wings that are ridiculously small compared to what was advertised. What a waste of money. Food took forever to arrive, and people who came after us got their food first. Lastly, the pour spout for the hot sauces is nasty. God knows when it was last cleaned.

Nando’s chicken never misses—so flavorful and juicy, and that PERi-PERi kick is addictive. Easily one of my favorites!

Place is understaffed.
Queues of 10 minutes or more at the front, and slow service.
Not up to Nando's brand service levels.

Nando's never lets you down. It's been my favorite for the last 25 years, ever since I first treated myself to Peri-Peri Flame-Grilled Chicken in Southern Africa.
This time at Bugis, it was the same story. Food was great as always. I ordered a Pita Wrap. Chicken was tender and juicy. Peri-Peri chips were amazing.
Service was okay, and the restaurant was packed as usual for lunch. Maybe a larger outlet would be nicer.
Overall, it's the food that brings people in, and the quality is consistently maintained everywhere.

Had the mac and cheese, it was very good, and I added cheese crisps. I chose mild, but it's still kind of spicy. I liked it. It tasted nice with chicken.
Only one complaint: the serving was so small 😭. The plate was the same size as my hand. I wish there was more, because it was kind of expensive.
