Galito's Flame Grilled Chicken, Lusaka 08-2013

Deep in the heart of Africa lies Galito's, their local answer to the Western world's Nando's. I still think London Nando's (tried at O2 arena and Shoreditch) is better quality than those I've had in Melbourne possibly due to them being generally large sit in restaurants complete with table service.

In Lusaka, it is located along a small section of fast food eat-in or takeaways right next to a petrol station. The menu seems identical to Nando's - grilled chicken with a choice of spiciness, chips, bean salad and coleslaw. There are bottles of periperi sauce to lather your food in more flavour.

Compared to London Nando's, the chicken is slightly thinner with similar flavour. Chips weren't as crispy. The salads seemed the same. The price is naturally much much cheaper.

Neither are similar to the periperi chicken I had in Lisbon, but they'll happily do for a tasty meal.
