Tips for a Better Visit

1

Use Back Parking. Approach from the back for the reported underground parking, which is free for two hours.

2

Ask Mild. If chilli is not your thing, ask the kitchen to remove the spices; one diner received a flavourful wrap with no heat.

The Bottom Line

Nando’s Union Coop, Motor City is a Portuguese-style, flame-grilled chicken restaurant with PERi-PERi sauces and a notably broad breakfast offering. For a first order, reviews point to the Peri Avocado butterfly chicken, pulled chicken hummus or Espetada a torre. Breakfast brings shakshuka, Turkish eggs, omelettes and pancakes, and is reported as available from 8am to 12pm.

Service is one of the outlet’s stronger points: diners commonly describe the team as welcoming, attentive and fast, with some meals arriving in around 10 minutes. There are indoor and outdoor tables, and one review mentions a view towards the motor-racing track from the restaurant’s eastern corner. Families may appreciate the balloons given to children during one breakfast visit.

Parking is a useful practical detail. A review recommends approaching from the back for underground parking that is free for two hours. The outlet is also reported to open 24 hours, making it useful for late takeaways, although delivery was described as taking at least an hour in an older review.

Expect some inconsistency: one diner found a lunch order slow, another could not get the Chicken & Veg Tigela special, and outdoor seating may be noisy. Vegetarian choices are limited, while spice levels can be adjusted if you ask.
