  2018/10/14A new location for Nandos opened recently on Woodbine in Markham, and SWMBO and I went to check it out for dinner. This is one of their larger locations, and it was more than half full when we arrived. We were seated promptly and handed menus. Then our host explained that, when we were ready, we would go up to the counter and place our order. After we made our decision, I went and lined up for a few minutes, told the cashier our choices, and paid. Pet peeve: Dont ask for a tip when the only thing you have done is ask me to pay for my order at a counter. For SWMBO I ordered the 1/4 Chicken (breast + wing) plus 1 side of PERi-PERi Potato Wedges ($11.75). I chose the same main with a side of Casa Salad. The spice heat level on her chicken was Plain…ish, and mine was Medium. I also ordered a draught beer for SWMBO, but the keg was empty. I waited at the counter for a few minutes while they found someone to change the keg. Eventually someone told me that they would bring the beer to the table. Not sure why they didnt tell me that in the first place. After you place your order, then you go to a different counter to pick up utensils and sauces. (Really, you want a tip for me to serve myself?). Its the same sauce they use on the chicken, if you want more, or want to amp up the heat. There are also salad dressings available. When they brought our meals, SWMBOs was correct, but mine had dark meat instead of white, and we had paid $1 more for the white. So I took my plate up to the counter and explained the problem to one of the managers (I think). The manager apologized, and eventually brought the correct dish. The food itself was tasty. The sauces had good flavour that added something to the basic chicken taste, and for us the right amount of heat. So the food was good, but there were service errors, and there was that darned tip thing.
