Great food and great service. I was with my little baby who made a bit of mess, I was told by Carlos not to worry as that’s what he was here for. Really polite and best customer service I’ve received from any Nandos. You can tell he goes above and beyond for any customer and to make families feel welcome with children is a bonus. Thank you Carlos!

My first experience at nandos in braintree was lovely could not fault the service at all however when revisiting the store I was disgusted The toilets where disgusting firstly secondly , when seated we was told to tell them about any allergies so we did has my mum as a nut allergy . We ordered on there app . Once the drinks arrived I explained to them again that my mum has a nut allergy then the member of staff had a go at use saying we should of gone to counter to order . Why make an app to order if you can't put allergies on there . Thirdly after all of this they then allowed a group of people in to that where eating five guys, 4 members of staff went over to the table but said nothing this was outrageous .

Food was slow to come. When the food did arrive the server put the burger down in front of me, looked at my broken arm in a cast and made the remark “good luck with that one”. Was absolutely disgusted with her behaviour.

Ordered the Family platter today and this comes with 5 large sides. Noticed that recently all large sides boxes are actually half full so you don’t get what you pay for. Last time they gave our order to someone else, haven’t checked the name/number so we had to wait another 30+min for a new order to be ready. They need better management oversight how staff are prepping and issuing orders.

Food was ok. Didn’t like the fact that at 8.45 they decided to start cleaning the floors, hovering around our table constantly asking if we had finished. Lights were then turned out in the restaurant - if they wanted us to leave, I’m sure there are easier ways of asking.

Haven't been to a Nandos for prob 10yrs, oh boy it's changed & for the better!!! Their outta bread meals were out of this world, food was timely, fresh & plenty of it. Staff are pleasant & attentive & go that extra 1%. On top of that I left my purse on the table to which they kept safe for me until I realised & returned to collect, for this I am extremely grateful, thanks Carlos & the team, I will be back ❤️

First time in Nandos & I couldn't belive that any restaurant could survive so long serving such awful food. It's getting to the point where it's hardly worth wasting your money on this type of fast food. Which is drowned in cheap sauce and dressing to hide the poor quaility of the meat.. No problem with the staff who were all charming young people. But I'll save my money next time & eat some healthy food at home..

We arrived ordered using the app. After 20mins we asked for glasses for our refillable drinks to be told we hadn’t ordered any drinks. We showed our receipt/confirmation and we’re told there had been a “glitch”. We asked of the food order had gone through to be told yes -5 - 10 mins. After 40mins we went in to see what was happening with the food having watched tables around us get served, to be told we’d only ordered 10 mins ago. Receipt confirms otherwise. Was told (again) it’s on its way. My husband complained, and was given discount on food but ruined the whole experience. Wish we had queued for Wagamamas.

Visited Nados Braintree on the 3rd Jan 4.30pm with a group of 13 of us for birthday celebration, even tho we were a loud party with 6 kids and 7 adults. I really felt that we were treated just the same as anyone else who walked through the door that day. The resturant was very busy and full of atmosphere boosted by smiling floor staff just perfect. food was just as good as the service, prompt, hot and correct!. There was just a couple of things that would of down graded this review to 4 stars like no frozen yogurt available and no coffee was available but in all honesty because of the staff and the manager wich couldn't do enough for our visit totally made up for it well done would be very happy to return any time. thank you for our visit and making our experience amazing

Nipped in, spare of the moment visit. My three year old has just hit the terrible twos. The waiter we had, was an absolute diamond in trying to entertain her, and making our visit as less troublesome as possible. I would’ve walked out. The waiter managed to make his company money, make our visit pleasurable. His a credit to this company and his family. Unfortunately he went to lunch before we left, and did not get his name. I hope the staff that cleared our table give him the tip we left. Food was good to.

We visited for an early dinner and after ordering we were made aware by staff that there would be a c20 minute wait. We didn't mind waiting and the staff made sure that we had drinks / asked if we wanted to order any starters etc. When the food came it was really good, as it usually is at Nandos. Brad, who I assume is the manager, came over to us at multiple points during our visit to apologise for the delay and see if he could help us with anything. At the end of our meal Brad came back over and told us he had refunded our food to apologise for the wait (which we really didn't mind). By far the most generous act I've ever experienced at a restaurant and it really made out day. Thanks very much Brad and team!

I went yesterday for my nieces birthday. There were 9 of us and we had booked for 8 people (one joining us at late notice).When we arrived we had been placed in a booth which was far too small for the 8 that we’d booked for - a maximum of 6. We appreciate that it’s sometimes difficult for a busy restaurant to squeeze in an additional person but would expect to be able to fit the 8 that were booked in.

After my daughter had initiated me to Nando’s in Norwich last year I was looking for a repeat experience so it was with anticipation that I called into Nandos in Freeport for a late lunch (at 2pm) on Friday. Possibly choosing school holiday time was a mistake on my part, it was packed to the rafters and very noisy. A small queue awaited me inside the door but whereas the constituents of it were shown to a waiting bench I was immediately shown to a table. Being solo had its advantages I thought.

It was hot and the chicken was cooked just right so it wasn’t chewey. I had a chicken ceaser salad which I can honestly say was the best I had eaten in years and the portion size was very generous. We didn’t have to wait long for our food either. I will definitely return.

I love Nandos - but this Braintree branch is really letting the brand down. Having waited 25 minutes for our food - 2 of us were were served cold food (when we returned it it came back very dry and tatsteless - so we assume they simply reheated the 'cold' food rathr than giving us a fresh replacement). one had the wrong order and another was missing a side. The staff were apologetic - as they were the last time I ate there 3 months ago and had a very similar experience. I will still happily visit Nandos but I will not go back to the Braintree one again. We were there for a pre-cinema meal - at least it saved us a few £ as the time it took us to get 1 course meant we didnt have time for dessert!

Staff standing around talking to each other, while I have to get up walk past them to the till to place my order and after the queuing try to remember everyone’s food, then shout across the restaurant when you didn’t ask how hot everyone wanted their chicken. Then you have to go and get your own cutlery napkins, sauces and drinks. Whoever came up with this conception needs shooting, it’s stupid. KFC up the road is exactly the same but half the price.

Been a few times and on the whole it’s a decent place for a bite to eat; However sadly things can be let down by the large groups of teenager parties they seem to hold here. On several times we have had to sit next to large tables of 10+ where loud screeching, swearing teenagers are being allowed to behave like feral animals with complete and utter disregard for the rest of customers within the restaurant. The staff fail to manage the groups and at no point see a problem with the behaviour of these large parties. The last time we experienced this; we could hardly hear each other across our small table and at no point did the staff feel it necessary to address the situation which was actually unbelievable. It ruined our night and more than likely the evening of other diners who no doubt felt the same, that the staff didn’t have the b_alls to tell the riff raff pipe down and to respect their fellow diners.

Visited here with my husband for a meal one afternoon before the cinema. The restaurant was quite empty, so we were seated in a booth straight away by a friendly member of staff. We ordered our usual (full platter with refillable drinks) and were surprised with how quickly the food was brought out! We had thought we were cutting it fine before our film, but ended up finishing with plenty of time. The food was all delicious and perfectly cooked. The only oddity was that they seemed to be out of straws, but we could live with that. We will definitely be returning here again!

This is a good restaurant, especially as part of a growing chain. Good 'smiley' service from the staff and well organised. We arrived on a Saturday lunchtime when the place was in full flow but the service was efficient. You go here for the chicken and it was good, 5 of us dining and we all had something different on the menu and heat scale and we were all equally happy. Mild, spicy or hot chicken our food was good and reasonably price as well as being in a good family atmosphere.Yes I / we would go back to this Braintree restaurant and explore the menu and the 'heat scale' more in the future, worth a drop in once you've spent your money in Freeport!

My first experience of Nando's so it took a little while after sitting down to realise that you had to go up to the counter and order your own food! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and once you worked your way around the menu there was a good choice and the food was nice. It was crazy busy so having a table next to the main thoroughfare to the limitless drinks wasn't great. They have a nice water machine for free for those that don't want an endless supply of fizz. I didn't feel it was a relaxing eating experience. Up and down for ordering, collecting cutlery or getting drinks. This is definitely a fast food outlet but with plates and higher prices. Just not my cup of tea I guess so I won't be on the lookout for a Nando's anytime soon - or ever!

I'm a regular visitor when I come back to visit family in Essex. It's an easy place to go too because the food is nice and it's quick. We had to wait 5 minutes for them to get us a table but it was busy so I won't hold that against them. Once seated went and ordered food. By the time I had gone got my cutlery and drink my starter just arrived at the table! Perfect!The main food followed about 5 minutes later which was ideal. My food was perfect until I got to my wrap and it didn't have its chilli jam in, something that happens on a regular basis at many Nando's I have visited. I can live without it but I do really look forward to it so they lose a point from me and get a 4 for that.The service was excellent and the staff were very pleasant and helpful when there was an issue. I will be going again as it is a good place for a nice quick enjoyable sit down meal. But next time I will make sure I ask for extra chilli jam!

We have been in this town to visit a friend and we have decided to eat lunch here (we have eaten before in Nando's near where we live so we know it). Food was good and service also was fine. The place was full but didn't take much to have our table and plus the lady in the entrance took our name so they was following a list.

We have heard so much about how great Nando,s was as a place to eat.£30 + for what basically is chicken and chips is a joke. The music also was far to loud to sit and relax. The staff were all very friendly and the service was also good.The BIG disappointment was the so called dessert, it was unbelievable. I had my ice cream served in a carboard tub but my wife was speechless when her custard tart arrived. We could have called the staff back but since the duty manager had served the custard tart we decided it was not worth while. Our reason for this is quite simple, we could not believe that anybody could serve such a small and burnt dessert to a paying customer especially a person in charge. The price was also for the custard tart was far to high, we could have gone to Tesco and purchased two for £1 and they are a far better custard tart. Our first and last visit due to the load music and especially the manager thinking it was acceptable to serve us the so called custard tart, truly awful

Good food, good portions and quick service but freezing cold - the air con was blasting out - and it's January! We had to sit in our coats - and a lot of other people did too.

Visited after shopping at the freeport village. Very attentive staff and friendly. Food arrived fairly quickly and thoroughly enjoyed it. Decent sized portions and probably one of the better nandos that I have eaten in.

One of our pleasant dining experiences is at Nando's! We love the chicken flavor, not to mention the variety of sauces they have. They have great food combos and food varieties.

Me and my fiancé dined in this restaurant last night, as we always do when heading to watch a film at the cinema. We were seated at around 7pm, and a couple next to us were seated 5 minutes after, and they received their food before us. This restaurant was severely understaffed, the kitchen staff had to help the floor staff which in my eyes wasn't quite right. Overall, a pleasant experience but felt bad for all the overworked staff. When we left my fiancé stood on a chicken wing bone.

Not often would I give a Nando's 5/5 but I have found the service here to be top notch on every visit. This time there were around 15 of us ordering in the standard Nando's fashion and the food on a busy night was quick hot and tasty. But as always the staff at this particular Nando's are the shining light. Always helpful, always polite, nothing is ever too much bother. Smiles on faces they are a well managed team.

Was fairly empty but waited a few minutes for the hostess to seat up. About tens minutes later it started to fill up. Haven't been to a British for some years and was keen to see how it compares to the states. Menu is practically the same but more expensive. You pick what you want and order at the bar and then take your drinks or glasses for the soda which is free refills. Had a water but it's tap and tasted vile so had to go back and get a bottle. The chicken breast in mango and lime with fries and the wrap with rice were all very hot and tasted good. The rice could do with a bit more flavor though. Did not have dessert as not very appetizing and never feel they have a good choice. The main toilet is upstairs and quite a trek. The waitress did tell us about the loyalty when we ordered too.

Was OK but nothing really special would not rush to go again bit like eating in a large ballroom and noisy because it seems to have a busy turn over . Its a chain so maybe others are better staff seemed a little tired nothing really sparkled

This was our first meal at Nando's. A whole new eating experience for my husband and I.On entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a waitress who enquired if we had been to Nando's before and, as we had not, enlightened us to how the system works. After being shown to the table and then choosing a meal, this is has to be ordered and paid for at the bar. By the way, drinks are unlimited. As I was concerned about "piri-piri" being too hot, the cashier explained, in detail, the different ways of infusing the meats. The dish can be as mild or spicy to taste.The restaurant has an inviting décor and a clean appearance. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their helpfulness and friendliness. We had a most enjoyable lunch.We will definitely visit again.

My first Nando's meal for over 5 years!Not much has changed on the menu in all that time, the experience has not changed and yet it continues to be a successful chain.Service was quick, no fault with the food, chicken cooked well and the salad very good.The pomegranate dressing was the highlight for me, bottomless soft drinks always great for us drivers and no complaints about the prices.Will I wait another 5 years? As long as there are more exciting places to eat, then yes.

Ate here with a friend, not expecting great things just usual ok fare. Firstly surprised by the excellent staff in particular a young pregnant woman who was brilliant. She was very helpful and industrious when she wasn't serving she was cleaning or setting tables she didn't stop. And I must say even the chicken was cooked perfectly. I wouldn't normally bother commenting on a restaurant like this unless it was awful or in this case really very good.

Nando's is a chain of restaurants with a Portuguese theme selling mostly chicken dishes although there is at least one steak dish and several vegetarian on the menu. Shown to table, order at counter (remember your table number) and then collect your cutlery and napkins on the way back to your table. Soft drinks are serve yourself after paying. Service was quick and the staff pleasant. Food quality was average and prices good.
