Bando Boxes in Trafford

Great food, great service, already can’t wait to come back again. The options they have look and sound amazing, can’t wait to try more meals

Well thanks to prolonging my stay in hospital by serving me raw burgers and the Mac and cheese and the fries I was chewing them and it felt like chewing grit now I feel sick I would never recommend

I ordered the food online and it said it would be ready in 15 mins, it took an hour! I got the food and some of it was cold, the flavour and quality was so bad. It was so expensive and it took so long that I atleast expected it to be fresh or warm. I would never recommend this!

Huge portions and seafood to die for, seasoned to perfection we had the seafood platter and it was more than enough for 2 of us. If you’re really picky just ask for your waffle in a separate box!

We ordered a salmon box and a prawn box, both were amazing! The salmon was perfectly seasoned, prawns were delicious, the corn was juicy and sweet, spicy rice was not spicy, mac n cheese was not too heavy, not to mention the caramelized banana and the sweet waffle, tasty! Staff are friendly and welcoming. Thanks guys!

The food was so tasty hot and fresh, the staff were accommodating. We will definitely be returning and spreading the word about this hidden gem!

Great quality food came quickly was deffo worth the money will be going back very soon great staff very polite

great value for money, 10/10 recommend got the bando box (prawn, lobster, waffle, corn, mac and cheese)

Let me start by saying the food is top so I don’t get labelled as a fake review however the service is awful. Came 2 weeks ago and waited for my phone call which I didn’t receive so I went in 15 minutes after and got told I would of got an email with the time, food was Just warm so had obviously been sat there for ages. Came yesterday, came in at the time the email said, kid didn’t even look at me or check if it was on the side when there was about 5 orders stacked up, had his head in his phone and went you’ll get a phone call, rude as always. Waited another 30 minutes no phone call then went in and the girl served me, was dead nice and give me the food but was again just warm so had clearly Been sat there and was most likely ready when I went in the first time. The young lad (25ish) needs to sort his attitude out, he’s rude every single time we come in. Has always been rude but now the wait is a joke and communication is awful. Also I am not saying it’s just your store however there is rats out the back which isn’t the nicest thing to look at when your waiting nearly 2 hours for your food. Wont be coming back anymore after just over a year which is a shame because the food is great, hats off to the chef.

Me and my partner bought the man vs food box which includes a lobster tail, prawns, wings, rice, mac & cheese and a waffle with strawberries for £37. As it was called ‘man vs food’ we were expecting to receive a reasonably large portion especially with the price. However, on arrival, the box was light as hell which was the first red flag. Prawns were tasty, the rest of it was mediocre, the lobster tail was dry and lacked flavour. WHY IS MY WAFFLE SAT UNDERNEATH OF MY SPICY PRAWNS & LOBSTER TAIL!!!!! Talking about the waffle, it was stale with squishy strawberries. ANDD it took over an hour and half to come. Would not recommend to anyone to go here!

was a bit alarmed at how busy this place gets but it makes sense after trying the food, there is no one else in manchester that does seafood at the quality and taste i experienced, will be back!!

I have never been so disappointed in anything as much as I was with this disgusting, pathetic excuse of a company. I saw everyone raving on about this company so thought it would be worth the hour drive. I pre ordered the food online and was given a time slot that my food would be ready by. I arrived towards the end of the time slot as it was Saturday and I thought maybe they’d have abit more time to do it. Only to find out after queuing outside with 5/6 other people. Who were wearing no masks, not adhering to the 2m rule. We were told there was still 6 more orders before me. Never mind, I thought maybe 20/30 minutes more, even tho it was already now hour and 15 mins. I waited an extra HOUR, to no avail, called the number , no answer surprisingly. Went in again, only to have 2 gentlemen reply to me in a rude manner & said They would call me when it was ready and they still had another order to do before mine. Embarrassingly I went back to my car, and waiting a further 40 minutes, again no phone call. I went into the shop again to just ask for a refund has now i knew I wouldn’t enjoy the food. I’ve waited 3 hours, not even received one apology , only to hear 3/; boys in the back talking slang which I didn’t understand & not even bother that I have waited 3 hours for food. It gets better.... Went in, and they said ‘oh we’re doing your order now’ okay whatever I’ll wait, 20 minutes of freezing inside their sardine packed alike shop with other customers, I then got asked ‘oh which one is your car I’ll bring it out to you’ , I asked right okay how long are we talking 5,10 mins? (Considering they were plating it up) the worker just looked at me like I’d asked him the cure for cancer, he then replied oh we don’t know we’re waiting on seafood. (Didn’t realise seafood took 3/4 hours to cook) I now frustratingly and quite upset went back to say, oh they’re bringing it out. Another 30 minutes gone by, nothing I now was going in to just ask for a refund and speak to the manager to offer some form of advice that maybe if they can’t keep up with orders, get more staff, maybe abit of customer service or stop taking orders. Surely this wasn’t acceptable. They were packing my order so I didn’t say anything as I just was exhausted. And the disgrace to receive a bottle of some ‘juice’ that I would give to my child for ‘the wait’ No sorry no nothing. NOW THE FOOD. The prawns were cooked properly, however , were drowned in hot chilli sauce so much that you couldn’t even enjoy it.(nowhere did it state it would be extremely hot, I can handle spice but that ruined the food) The mac and cheese was niceZ Lobster - was OVERCOOKED. Waffle - stale I was absolutely disgusted I felt like going back in and chucking it and the 4/5 workers. It felt like they purposely put as much chilli as possible because I went in a few times. from the workers to the food to the Covid regulations that were broke. This company is a joke. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY. It seems you have to be a friend to be served properly or be spoken to like a customer instead of a ‘ting’ as the main worker kept saying. Disgusting. GO TO TRAP KITCHEN. It’s worth waiting for.

Was concerned due to the negative reviews. However ordered surf and turf (prawns and wings box) asked for them to put the waffle in a separate box due to allergy reasons and so that my friend could have the waffle instead, which they did so props to them. Chose peri fries not great but not the main. Corn - cant go wrong. Plantain - delicious. Prawns - so good much better than the prawns from another place in manc which i shall not name. They were juicy and good portion. Buffalo wings - tasty and juicy. Very good only thing id say is the fries need improving

I dont think there has been a time when they have got my order right. The first time i went he put mac and cheese onto mine. I am lactose intolerant. They was able to give me their fruit punch but i didnt feel that was sufficeable enough as i had to make 2 long journeys...twice The 2nd time they didnt even have what i wanted available The 3rd time i came to order and the guy said i cant order. Then he said its an hour wait. I attempted to order onoine but it said it was closed so i went back in store to enquire about it. He said "others have been waiting 2hrs for food it is not fair" i went on to ask him why he told me all fake info and if that was fair. He ignored me. This is the worst customer service ever. All for some wings and prawns i could probably make better at home. Never attempting to put my hard earned money in their pocket again.

Ordered A bando’s box through their official website which I found through Instagram. Me and my partner ordered a ‘little box’ each in which you get to choose a main, side, and an extra. We both went for lobster tail as the main, Mac and cheese as the side and calamari as the extra. Both boxes together came to £20. Upon arrival to collect our order, I got told that we had been charged wrong on the website and were told to pay an extra £20 if we wanted the lobster tail as that costed extra and the website failed to charge us the extra. I must say, the food was incredible, and in honesty, worth the money, however, due to the lack of communication I am left a little dissatisfied. Especially as in the email receipt I got it, said I would get called if there was any issues. (I would call this an issue as I didn’t have my card on me, lucky my partner brought hers!)

Absolutely shocking experience. First of all we’re given 1 hour 40 wait for the food. We were willing to wait for that as we were really looking forward to it. Time passed and eventually 1 hour 40 was reached. However the food was not ready....
