Nando’s

Fantastic service and food was with us writhin 10mins of ordering despite how busy they were and they could accommodate our pram.

This place seems to be getting a bad rap, so I’m gonna stick up for it for various reasons.
Yes it’s a franchise and no I don’t like them as a general rule. But, let’s be serious for a moment. Just like you don’t goto a Fast & Furious movie for intricate/​complex movie narrative/​plot lines but for pure unadulterated adrenaline rush. You don’t goto Nandos for a Mitchellin star restaurent experience! There isn’t supposed to BE any customer service! It’s a very simple procedure: get table, order food, eat food, Go! Anyone expecting to be treated like royalty for paying £15 for an entire grilled chicken with two sides and two free refill drinks is just deluded!
Nandos is a glorified sit in takeaway that do grilled chicken! (That’s not meant to be a put down) The lack of pretence and the simplicity of the concept is the reason for its unprecedented success! It’s the reason why the biggest waiting line in the Orient is almost always here. People know EXACTLY what they’re getting and it’s great value for money. And you know what? It tastes pretty damn good! It’s a much better option than the vomit inducing Maccy D’s/Burger Kings/​KFCs of this world that serve plastic cancer and time ticking (heart disease) health bombs!
Nandos are EVERYWHERE and as a raging foodie who loves variety, there’s plenty of room for Nandos in my heart and bellydrum! So I’ll keep on playing the Nandos beat!
PS the only varying feature of Nandos ofcourse is the décor which admittedly (whilst being of a similar theme in each restaurent) can vary. This one is fairly simplistic. The best one I’ve chicken meal plattered in (Ive sampled a fair few of them in the UK ;) has to be the Wakefield branch (Yorkshire) Although once upon A time on a Sunday drive/​adventure in the middle of nowhere in Wales I remember discovering one. It was a miraculous foodie oasis!
In short, if you don’t like Nandos, good for you, each to their own. Difference of opinion is good in all walks of life, and that’s fine! I can’t stand Keira Knightly for example. And on that unrelated note… Over aNandout!

With any franchise you already have a certain expectation of the food and service you should receive. I went for lunch at peak time on a Sunday, me and my friend waited approximately 15 – 20 mins for a table. The location of our table was to the side of the main area which was perfect for our girlie catch up lunch. We each ordered separately at the till as we wanted to pay for our own meal, my meal arrived within 5 minutes of placing our order; this seemed very quick but the food seemed hot and fresh. However my friends meal took another 5 minutes to arrive, there was no apology for this and we were left to enjoy our meals. The food was of a good quality as was the wine. I would recommend Nandos for a quick lunch.

Well, this Restaurant is one of the worst if not the worst restaurant i have ever been to. The Chicken was Slimy and Stringy, Service was slow and the restaurant is not Halal as i have just found out. Overall it was a terrible experience and i will not be visiting Nandos again as i’ve paid more and got better food which is HALAL

I have been to this Nando’s several times and always found the food to be very good and quickly served no matter how busy it is.
The staff are always polite and helpful. If you’re not a chicked fan the choice is a bit limited, but the choices of sauces and level of hotness on your chicken isn’t. Theres always lots of bottles of sauce available too.
Will certainly go and again and would recommend to a friend. I find it reasonably priced for good food and for not much more than the other fast food options at the Trafford Centre, its certainly a better option.
