Service

Pros:

  • "Staff always friendly frequently visit, clean."
  • "Despite such high turnover, it's kept clean and sauces are returned back to the central area quickly meaning you don't have to awkwardly look for them."
  • "New and different way of ordering, where you order from your table. Service was fast, food was nice."
  • "Always consistent quality and service, can get quite busy on a Friday night and over the weekend."
  • "Upon arrival, fast greeting and seating and upon ordering a platter for me and my partner it arrived within 10 minutes."
  • "Very good hospitality and the food is just great! Highlights are the boneless chicken thighs, fino pitta and the AMAZING brownie!"
  • "Service was quick and friendly, and the food was great as usual."

Cons:

  • "Waiting for the table for 55 min then, after ordering the chicken took 50 min to be ready."
  • "The queuing process is quite tiresome so be prepared for a wait."
  • "Very rude staff and awful service!"
  • "No service at all. I went in there and was sitting for 10 minutes no one shows up to ask what I want."
  • "Staff were all a bit slow, vacant seeming, and not that helpful."
  • "Staff told us we have to wait 4hrs to get a free table to eat so we couldn't go inside."
  • "Absolutely awful dining experience with little to no care for customer satisfaction by any staff."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Ordered our food which came 10 minute later well cooked and gorgeous."
  • "The pitta was very tasty but the sweet potato and butternut squash side wasn't roasted and the cubes were actually quite hard."
  • "Food was great, but not enough seating so waiting before even getting to a table was a pain and it was incredibly noisy, have to speak loudly just to order and can't have a normal conversation."
  • "The food was absolutely amazing! The service was amazing!"
  • "Love a good Nando's! The new chickpea wrap is so good, especially with the sweet chilli jam and pickled onion."
  • "The food was great, most importantly my son loved it! His plain-ish chicken pitta went down a treat."
  • "At the end of the day, you go to Nandos for some delicious, moist, flavourful chicken and that's what we got."

Cons:

  • "The restaurant seemed nice but the chicken was dry."
  • "The rice was dry the chicken was dry with no flavour and the peas consisted of 80% water."
  • "The food was a bit underwhelming - the chicken breast was very overcooked and the corn on the cob only slightly charred."
  • "The wrap was nice as it always has been. However, I cannot say the same about the burger.. unfortunately it tasted like seasoned rubber in a bun."
  • "Problems with cleanliness, especially sauces are ALWAYS greasy and hands are very sticky after using them. The online ordering method is disgraceful."
  • "We spent £100 in total but sadly chicken was extremely dry and needed a lot of the Nando’s sauce and make it more edible."
  • "Awful food ....chicken raw and tough....manager not really interested."

Ambience & Location

Pros:

  • "Nice quiet atmosphere suitable for families with young children, work lunches and hot dates!"
  • "Cinemas right next to it as well so perfect location for a film and a 'cheeky Nandos'."
  • "Located near a Cinema, bowling alley, coffee shop, hotel and a few other restaurants."
  • "Nice restaurant, with a good atmosphere. You’ll find a lot of youngsters here due to the cinema and local bowling place."
  • "The restaurant looked really nice and spacious."
  • "Nandos is always a consistent experience, this one no exception."
  • "Great place to hang out without over spending money."

Cons:

  • "Our table was near the door and people entered and exited continually and it was freezing every time the door opened."
  • "Bleak nondescript chain on an industrial estate."
  • "The music is slightly loud making it a bit difficult to talk and hear without raising your voice above normal."
  • "Got seated quite quickly. However we had seats close to the entrance which was freezing cold every time they opened the door."
  • "The down fall for me was that when you walk in, it's confusing you don't know what to do or where to go."
  • "Just been turned away because I was in a party of 3 :/ the reason for this was because they were expecting trouble in the area and were only excepting parties of 2 or less..."
  • "This is the 5th time I have attempted to eat here before going to the showcase even turning up 2 and half hours before the movie is due to start to consider waiting times only to be turned away because they are too ‘busy’ for a table for 2."

Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Despite such high turnover, it's kept clean and sauces are returned back to the central area quickly meaning you don't have to awkwardly look for them."
  • "The restaurant was nice, clean and looked after, bathroom was a bit of a state, looked like it could do with a serious clean for a start."
  • "Clean throughout in my experience."
  • "Very clean, toilets very nice and well kept."
  • "Tasty chicken in a very clean restaurant."
  • "Waiters and waitresses were friendly and attentive at all time, and restaurant is clean."
  • "Very friendly service and an airy and clean space."

Cons:

  • "The bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner which would have made the overall experience a bit better."
  • "Toilets were dirty, full of poo, pee on seats, broken toilet seats, and toilet paper dispenser broken."
  • "The only downside was that the toilet was messy!"
  • "Reason for 4 star is their rest rooms needs to be cleaned more often as there was toilet tissues all over the floor when restaurant was not that busy."
  • "Problems with cleanliness, especially sauces are ALWAYS greasy and hands are very sticky after using them. The online ordering method is disgraceful."
  • "I am an odd person who isn't keen on chips so had a, so called, portion of vegetables which was tiny, in a tiny, flat pot, greasy, warm and virtually £3!"
  • "The burger bun was very dry and difficult to bite/cut through."
