Most people wonder why vegetarians would want go to a chicken restaurant and I used to agree. However, Nandos veggie food hits the spot! All their starters are suitable for vegetarians and they have a substantial selection of plant based mains and sides too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t go for a starter this time but I will try them all out in due course! I went for the great imitator wrap. Like with their chicken options, they have the same spice options ranging from their new \u201cPeri-Tamer\u201d and \u201cPlain-ish\u201d up to \u201cVusa XX Hot\u201d. I love my spicy food so I tried the Vusa XX Hot. As I\u2019m used to very spicy food, I didn\u2019t find it that spicy which was slightly disappointing. The great imitator is a meat substitute made from pea protein. I haven’t tried this option plain, with no spice. However with extra spicy Nando’s marinade, it genuinely tastes like meat. The consistency is good, not too soft, and no weird after tastes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wrap comes with a little bit of lettuce, sweet chilli jam, mayonnaise and I added some halloumi in there too because I can\u2019t live without halloumi. The combination of the spice, with the sweetness of the chilli jam and the mayo is juicy and delicious. I\u2019d give the wrap 9\/10. 100% would have again. Though, it could have been spicier.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the side dishes, I went for my usual. My favourite is their spicy rice and then I went for the spiced grains with butternut squash and feta. I ordered this by accident once on the app, (I meant to order coleslaw) and now I order it every time. Their sides are always a solid 9-9.5\/10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well done Nando’s for the great selection of not chicken dishes to try. Thank you also for continuing to provide us ever grateful NHS staff with a discount. We appreciate you too. <\/p>\n
