So I did in fact pre-eat, and that helped! Thanks for the suggestion.
The food was fair (which is a little better than I was expecting). The steak tartare was great, and the lamb merguez sausage was fairly tasty. The frites were delicious, which was a nice surprise. The potato tazi was horrible (and strongly recommended to us) and the cheese croquettes were about the same as those found in the freezer aisle. The flatbread was mediocre. For mains most had steaks, which were acceptable.
One interesting experience: I ordered a vegetarian curried stew as my main and asked for it extra spicy and it was not -- it was incredibly mild. So I asked for cayenne pepper or hot sauce and was brought sriracha and "our special hot sauce". I used the latter and afterwards, the waitress insisted on bringing the bottle of hot sauce and showing it to me: It was Nando's hot piri-piri sauce!
