If shopping or extreme sporting draws you out Braehead Shopping Centre or Xscape way, you might have discovered the newest franchise food offering, which prides itself on spicy, flame grilled chicken, with both sit-in and takeout options. Nandos is beginning to build up a faithful following in other major UK towns. Everything comes with a fiery little kick of Peri-peri chilli, in varying degrees of heat. Dishes feature the quarter, half or full chicken, chicken breast pitas, chicken burgers and chicken wings. The starters, ranging from spicy olives to red pepper dip and pita, are simple but satisfying, and the side orders that partner the spicy mains are refreshingly healthy. If you're not a fan of chicken, fear not, for this spot offers the tastiest vegetarian burgers in town. The quality, along with the prices, is a touch above usual takeout expense, but it's well worth it. (Simone Gray)
