Worst Nandos experience I have ever had.
This place seems to essentially operate as a takeaway spot with in-restaurant customers seemingly being treated as secondary. Having to wait for more than an hour for food, without prior warning or alert, with my pregnant wife, was an absolutely horrendous experience. If we were informed ahead of time about the delays, my wife and I would not have come in, sat down, placed our orders and paid for our food knowing how long we would have had to wait.
The customer service was also extremely poor, with nobody being able to assist until I was visibly irritated and agitated and then I was referred to the manager. The food only came out after I had stood up for the 4th time to speak to a 4th member of staff who at that stage referred me to the manager. The manager then apologised saying they were really busy but called out the table number, and as if by magic, less than 5 minutes later our food appeared. This was also a trend for the guests on neighbouring tables who consistently had to stand up to complain before their food arrived. On the table to the left of us, one of them received their food and ate and even shared some of their food with their friend. 25 minutes later, and the other person's food still wasn't there, and we saw him stand up to complain, ask for a refund, and just leave without receiving his order.
It was by far the worst experience I have had in a Nandos after being an avid customer and visiting various branches all across England for more than 15 years. To give a further example, a drink was spilled on the floor beside us prior to when we arrived, and a cone was placed there and we were told to "watch out". Rather than mop or clean up the spill somehow, the cone was just left there indefinitely till I had to get a paper napkin myself and clean it up, but even then, nobody came to clear up the mess after, as staff just walked past and ignored it.
It was a really poor experience, and I definitely would not recommend this branch of Nandos to anyone.

Being honest, this is probably one of the worst nandos I've ever been to. When we got to the place, it took us a while to be seated with multiple staff members looking over and walking past without seating us. Eventually, we got seated, the table was clean and we ordered our food which was fine... until the food came.
The chips were undercooked, and my partners chips had a very funky taste to them. My garlic bread was overdone and quite dry. However, the chicken was done pretty well.
The atmosphere of this nandos wasn't amazing. The table structure made it very uncomfortable and awkward as lots of people were walking past our table constantly, and it was right in the middle of the establishment without any sort of barriers. We ended up leaving early and went somewhere else for dessert.
Considering they've put their prices up for a normal meal we were quite disappointed with both the food and the customer service

staff handed deserts to everyone as he couldn't fit on table due to main course plates. then hovering turned around left leaving us holding plates. I thought this was a one off untill he did the same to the next table.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Food arrived quickly and was very nice. Unfortunately the Nandos app wouldn't apply a discount so the order had to be placed at the counter. Overall we had an enjoyable visit.

Absolutely our of this world customer service. Our dessert order didn't go through because of Internet signal and instead they put the order through for us at the table and then said it was on them. I explained how i had just been to my grandmas funeral and that the gesture was greatly appreciated considering the mood of the day.

Food is delicious as always, however this is the second visit in a row where they have ran out of menu items, including garlic bread, rice, and butter. I’m unsure if it’s a covid supply chain issue, or the managers needs some retraining on food ordering and stock levels.

We had to wait outside for 40 minutes. Over half the tables where empty and no one was ever sat at them. When asked if we could sit on one of the many empty tables they said there would be the same wait. At least we would of been sat down inside with a drink. Disappointing experience.

The new system of ordering online is ridiculous, the website is user unfriendly, the need to provide personal data to have a piece of chicken sounds like a bad joke.
The new menu is worse than the old one and you can't even have a cup of coffee - they don't sell it anymore!!
Why a perfectly working something needs to be turned into a bull???

This place is awsome. I really liked the way the have setted it out and the food is just amazing. It is one of my first try in nandos and i reallly liked the food. The chicken was well cooked and the fries are perfect. I had even tried the burger which was ok because the bun seems to be a bit hard. But in total review i just loved the place and the food is amazing. I Recomend nandos for everyone who seeks good food
