Muy decepcionado con el tamaño de las porciones teniendo en cuenta la gestión de precios donde no era nada útil y la comida no estaba caliente estropeado la noche

Ni una sola palabra de elogio sobre este lugar la comida es absolutamente terrible, el servicio al cliente fue grosero, me tomó 45 minutos para poder ordenar incluso después de que ya me había sentado. Impactante El envoltorio no tenía más de 50 gramos de pollo aunque pedí un doble, lleno hasta el borde de lechuga, lo único bueno fue que obtuve las recompensas de mi Nando a la naranja.

Vine a la sucursal del restaurante para una cena encantadora. Simplemente pregunté si un miembro del personal podría ayudar a sacar el ketchup de tomate de una botella, ya que las salsas no se almacenaron a la temperatura correcta, y las salsas en las nuevas botellas, eran sólidas como una roca. Experimenté que los miembros del equipo eran desagradables conmigo, la mitad de la botella de ketchup de tomate terminó en toda mi ropa, el miembro del personal la tiró por toda mi ropa, cayó en mis zapatos de trabajo, mi top favorito que tenía un animal impreso en él, la parte superior es sí mismo que discontinuó tan difícil de reemplazar. Y la salsa me cubrió todo el top y los jeans y me limpiaron con un paño azul. El gerente se disculpó y dijo que podía limpiarlo en seco. También tenía problemas de pérdida de peso, había ganado 50. 2 kg de peso antes del incidente después del incidente perdí peso significativo ahora estoy en 49. 2 kg (7 piedras 13 ) Ahora tengo que trabajar duro para volver a subir de peso. El gerente dijo que no podía tener comida y bebida gratis y postres hasta que mi peso volviera a subir. También me dijeron que no podía hacerme una selfie con la gorra Nandos. El equipo también dijo que no podía cargar mi teléfono ya que estaba al 6 % y luego me dijo que tenía que pagar por bollos de hamburguesa como el artículo de comida original que mi favorito en el menú que realmente me gustaría es la hamburguesa de pollo mariposa, pero terminó con algo más. También eligen no poner la salsa de tomate en una olla de oro / plata. Me decepcionó la experiencia, ya que no solo tuvo un impacto emocional en mí, sino que también tuvo un impacto en el problema de salud. Los miembros del equipo de la sucursal comenzaron a reírse durante 5 minutos cuando ocurrió el incidente y me molestaron ya que pensaron que era una broma. Llevaba una gorra en ese momento si la tenían, habría sido horrible. Mi ropa es difícil de reemplazar. También dijeron que no podía dejar de hacerme una selfie con la gorra de béisbol Nandos, sentada en la mesa 1. Divulgué que era autista y tenía problemas de salud y empezaron a reírse de mí como riéndose de las hienas durante 5 minutos

Food as always is 5/5 as is the service and atmosphere. Very friendly and personal service from all the staff and especially the manager, Lucasz. His primary concern is obsessing over customer excellence and his enthusiasm shines through in abundance. He is an asset to Nando’s. We will definitely visit again.

We ate here after going to the Cinema and it was really good. Value for money and great qiuick service. Food is exactly what you expect from Nando's but the service and the staff I thought were particularly good, very pleasant and friendly and really marking the place as a little bit above the rest.

We came here for an early dinner. It was our first experience of Nanbo's, and once we got the hang of the online ordering, we got two lovely meals, with chicken in pitta and some extras. The service was quick, we only waited about ten minutes before the food arrived. My only negative comment is the loud thumping music which made it difficult to have a quiet conversation. I found the prices quite reasonable, and we may well come back here.

Why is there no vinegar for chips? None at all in the restaurant, for a restaurant that regularly serves chips I feel this is a pretty basic request. I asked a member of staff and they said there was only balsamic vinegar. I pointed to the counter that had no vinegar, balsamic or otherwise (it wasn't busy, so I could see that no other tables were using any type of vinegar). When I pressed further I was offered balsamic vinegette salad dressing. Salad dressing to go on chips? Is this just a Reading thing? I am sure I have been able to have vinegar at other restaurants.

We came here to see the new revamp which looks great but the manager here, he was a wearing a red funky shirt is very rude, shouting to his staff members on the floor, clicking his fingers, flirting with customers where you can clearly see they are uncomfortable and not being nice at all. Me and friend who both come from a retail background think this is really unprofessional and horrendous customer service. You need to speak to him as soon as possible and we won’t be coming back here again.

Staff are lifeless with no vibrancy, and are apparently allowed to just relax when the restaurant is quiet and have a chat with friends. Chefs can be seen quite clearly biting his nails and touching food which was lovely, standards has slipped for sure. The staff don’t even acknowledge your existence as if they’re robots designed to bring your food. And that’s it. No conversation unless they come over to ask whether my food is good 5 seconds after it arrives. The decor is becoming tacky and seems to have not been changed in years, the floor looks like it needs a good varnish, foods alright but again it’s microwaved and not fresh, never order the rice comes piping hot because it’s baby food put in a microwave. And I thought everything was fresh, sometimes I think they use chicken from the day before. Dry and flavourless. Also never cleared up my starter plate, I don’t want to sit in front of it for my whole meal thank you very much. Only eat here if you’re desperate, much more to choose from in Reading that this below standard eatery

I came with my girlfriend to have a dinner and it was 30 minutes wait to have a table but that is fine. What is unacceptable is because the manager (Lolo) told me if I pay him with a kind of tip we could get a table faster than 30 minutes. Never in my life I pay for a table at Nando's, if they are doing this cheats to his customer that's really disgusting.

We were ‘welcomed’ by a member of staff who looked and sounded like he didn’t want to be there, his manner was not warm at all. Once at the table we tried to use our phone to order, but couldn’t? We asked a server for assistance and although he was not able to help, he went to get someone else. Both these gents were lovely and extremely helpful. The food came fairly quickly, and the new BBQ spice was nice, but the food was a tepid temperature. The wraps are big and packed full of filling. It was okay for a one off visit whilst out shopping, but I wouldn’t rush to one of these again in the future.

Service was terrible. We couldn’t log on to the track and trace due to connection issues. The staff treated us like we were stupid, and made it a very long process. After we finally got seated, the app wouldn’t work to order our food either. We also asked the staff to help us, the man let us write our order, but kept coming back asking stupid questions after i wrote our order very clearly. After he took our order after about 25 minutes, the cover that was keeping us dry in the heavy rain was taken down, leaving us in the soaking wet rain. We got up and left. The service was terrible and so was the staff. Would not recommend at all. Go somewhere better, like mcdonald’s!!!

Después de esperar un tiempo considerable para ser reconocido, mi socio llamó a un camarero que pasaba para que nos sentara. Luego nos preguntaron los detalles de nuestra reserva aunque no habíamos reservado, luego nos dijeron que reserváramos a través del código QR afuera en el frío. Lo más simple hubiera sido darnos la bienvenida y luego recibir nuestros detalles. Sin embargo, el camarero apenas podía molestarse en hablar y su máscara facial mostraba toda su nariz y su labio superior. Cuando regresamos adentro, nos ignoraron aún más. Dos gerentes estaban a corta distancia y ninguno de los dos hizo contacto visual. Después de unos 10 minutos más, otro camarero que no se cubrió la nariz ni la boca con una máscara, dijo algo tan amortiguado como el primer camarero. Luego nos dijeron que no podíamos estar sentados sin mascarillas. Furiosos, ni siquiera nos habían dicho eso antes, y con la naturaleza hosca y complaciente del personal, nos fuimos realmente enojados, especialmente porque el personal no usó sus mascarillas correctamente. Este fue un servicio muy pobre dada la cantidad de personal de guardia y lo tranquilo que era el restaurante.Para mejorar, los gerentes podrían habernos reconocido de inmediato a nuestra llegada y asegurarse de que el personal siguiera los procedimientos de covid; el personal podría haber estado despierto / alerta y hablándonos de manera audible sin tener que ser llamado primero, el personal podría responder a los clientes que estaban en la entrada.

Arrived, sat down and ordered. Our food was served by Martin, who was extremely rude and fairly ignorant. He failed to accommodate my needs with good will when I asked for some condiments that weren’t readily available at the counter. He wandered off without confirming whether he was bringing it or not and returned a few minutes later, slammed them on the table and angrily stormed away. This made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unsatisfied with the service provided at this Nando’s restaurant.

Nadie nos dijo que tenía que ir a un mostrador, ordenar y pagar el plato compartido y luego regresar a nuestro stand. Pollo (fácil para las especias para nosotros), ensalada de repollo y arroz. Había mucho para 2 con respecto al pollo, y estaba perfectamente preparado, tierno y no rojo. Los lados podrían haber sido un poco más grandes. ¡Los refrescos ilimitados son un buen atractivo! Este Nando está en la orilla del río y es parte del Oracle Mall, definitivamente preferible al de la calle Friar, ¡un área menos sabrosa!

Con la mia famiglia, abbiamo voluto provare questo locale posto sul ponte del centro commerciale Oracle di Reading, dopo aver atteso circa 15 minuti ci siamo accomodati in un tavolo da 4. Qui si ordina, si paga alla cassa e poi te lo portano al tavolo. Abbiamo ordinato un butterfly Burger con limone e erbette con patate fritte regolari, poi 3 doppi chicken burger con patatine fritte anch'esse regolari (ma poche per la verità) poi ancora 1 chicken pitta (pollo alla piastra) Da bere coca cola a volontà. Il pollo è buono ma ci vogliono varie porzioni per saziarti. Il locale è carino e particolare. Il rapporto qualità prezzo non è delle migliori un po' caro...ma sono inglesi e spennano i polli........Effettuano anche servizio da asporto.

I do love a Nando's, but I do try to account for my taste preferences that in my reviews so that my advice can be useful across the board, rather than just to people who like the same food as I do. Taking that on board, even though I've had a few really good meals here, the assembly often doesn't qutie seem up to the standard of the Friar Street Nando's just a few minutes ago, and it seems like one's more likely to get a dry bit of chicken or a wrap where all the sauce is bunched up in one end here. The room is also a bit louder and less pleasant an environment than the nearby Friar Street Nando's and the service there tends to be a little friendlier (Helmut is a don). There's nothing really wrong wtih this Nando's, and a Nando's is a Nando's - it's never going to be that bad and it's never going to absolutely blow my mind, but when given the choice between this and getting a slightly better (on average) example of the same food just up the road, I'd always do the latter. This Nando's can't rate above a 3/5.

Having worked at Nandos somewhere else in England, I expected the same level of service which I had to deliver when I was a Nandoca. Sadly, this wasn't the case. When I walked in the host wasn't in the greatest of moods and seated me without even asking if I'd been to Nandos before, and important aspect for new customers. Delivering my order was quick and easy. However, the guy who delivered my food simply just said "fino pitta" and walked off without asking if I wanted anything else at all. I saw him do this to a few tables and actually deliver to a wrong table because he placed down the food and walked off, so the customers had to call him back and say the food wasn't theirs.

I have been to this Nandos a few times, but out of all the Nando's i've been to - this is probably the second worst. The food is amazing, you can never beat that. This Nando's is always busy because of it's location, and you can't book a table so it's a first in, first serve. Myself and my partner had an incident previously where we were not allowed in and not given a reason why, so we went to get food elsewhere (at the time the restaurant was half empty), and on the walk back to the car park people were going inside to eat and not being turned away without an explanation. Nando's is cheap and cheerful, but would recommend going to a different one and not the Oracle one.

Tengo poca tolerancia a las especias, pero solía ir a Nando hace unos años y disfrutar del pollo al limón y la hierba sin problemas. Hoy regresé y encontré un nuevo sistema de clasificación con una categoría "muy suave" que era incluso más baja que el limón y la hierba. Lamentablemente es una mentira. Todo el pollo está en una salsa peri peri algo picante, simplemente no le agregan más sabor. También había especias en el chutney y la mayonesa que era parte de mi comida. No pude comerlo y me fui muy decepcionado.

This restaurant gets very busy, I’m pretty sure the staff were struggling due to how busy it was so I won’t be too hard, however an honest review would be the food came out at different times, one person had there starter and main before anyone else had there starter. When the food came out the chicken was a bit dry, I still ate it and when the waitress asked if everything was okay I mentioned it was dry, she brought me another meal.

I made my fist visit to Nando's, heard that it had great chicken, all I can say is avoid the sharing platter of a spatchcock chicken. It looked like road kill, was all bone and no meat! A large rice is barely enough for one and the grains and greens was a couple of mouthfuls. Can't even say that the meat was cooked well, what there was of it, certainly not soft or fell off the bone. It was just about ok, that's it. Shish kebab is better than this. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

My son aged 13 wanted go for his birthday so we did, got there at about 1815 and found it to be full and were asked to wait 10 minutes which is perfectly acceptable, small seating area and the Reading Plage outside to look at which was fun. We were taken to the table, clean and tidy and was asked if I had eaten there before, replied no so they explained the procedure this was where, for me, it goes downhill a bit, I don't like standing in a queue to order food , I sort of expect waiters to take the order. That said the server was very nice, explained everything to my son who was ordering for us all and was very efficient, I was surprised I was asked to pay there and then and said what if I want another drink? queue up get it and pay again, OK in a pub, not so much in a restaurant, just my opinion. The food when it arrived was OK, a chicken and two sides to share and the boys had the chicken fillet burgers, the chicken was OK, breast a bit dry but when they are doing so many difficult to do other wise I guess, Nevertheless, very tasty as were the peri salted chips and coleslaw both generous portions, the burgers were very good and moister than the whole chicken, Nothing was left on the plates bar bones so you can tell we hated it!. Overall a good experience, clean, friendly, fairly quick and good food with adequate portions. For me the music was too loud but I am old, also I expect waiter service for the price but again, showing my age. Nandos formula works but I think for the younger end of the market, not mine. Would I eat there again, if asked definitely, would I ever say, "I know, lets go to Nandos", probably not. Nothing wrong, it is good but not to my taste which is a shame because the food is.

I called to try to book a table (as I can't stand up to wait over half an hour to be seated) and got the response "Sorry we don't do bookings, bye" before hanging up on me. Good way to drum up business..

It took almost a hour and a half for my mates to finally receive there meals, and along with no apologies from the staff I had not received my chicken wings so I’ll be Eating on my own, my mates will also have to withstand and wait for me to finish due to poor work rates.

Quite small and cosy, situated in central Reading just off the shops. It does get quite busy so sometimes its not the best place to visit. However, food is good, staff is nice, chicken is hot !

Love Nando's, food always very good. Shame it took over 30 mins to serve. Looked like they had a large take away to do, I wish they had told us we would have to wait. Was offered a free ice cream but decided to decline.

What fabulous food! As well as in-store food being excellent the takeaway is also very tasty. Starting with a very satisfying self-order, you get your food quickly. With a wide range of sauces and spices, as well as very friendly staff, Nando's is the full package!

Came with family. We enjoyed our food as adults but the children found even the mildest of food for them was too spicy. Shame they don’t offer a children’s completely plain chicken option. Prices have risen over the years but quality of food lovely. Staff nice. Restaurant in good location at the oracle.

I visited Nandoes yesterday at 7.30pm for a friends birthday. I went to place my order at the till and was served by someone that clearly did not have any idea what he was doing. Firstly when i went to order a glass of red wine with my meal I got told that all of the wine glasses had been smashed earlier that day. I then went to ask so can I not have a glass of wine, he said yeah but it will be have to be in a normal glass. I said that is fine.

Food was an hour late, and the staff were pretty unwelcoming when we got there. Ended up having to ask again as they then forgot half the meal. Manager was very polite and gave us a refund. I still love nandos it was just the staff.

Like most Nando's, this one serves brilliant chicken and offers good service. Its bound to be busy and we get to wait nearly everytime we visit. But worth the wait, every single time.

Came here for supper after church with the other young adults from church. It would be helpful if the staff were more knowledgeable about allergies because while I can eat anything, one of the others is gluten free and for a moment it looked like there wouldn’t be anything suitable (but eventually something was identified on the menu that she could eat ). Their lack of knowledge of the constituents of particular items was also unhelpful to me when I was trying to choose from the available customisations for what I wanted to order for myself.

Generally are good but this particular time was very poor service. Phoned at 17:06 on a Tuesday. Guy said come in 10 mins. The shop was empty and there were not orders on the screen. Front staff desk need better training and had to go get the other staff who were all out the back because she couldn’t find the order. When they came, the manager said I ordered a medium and I had ordered a large. I record all my phone calls and have evidence. He was fine then charged me for a large and said he’s sorry but it’ll be an extra 4 mins. I was still waiting in the shop at 17:40. A 40 minute wait for a pizza I was told would take 10 minutes. I would understand if this was a Friday or Saturday night but a dead Tuesday, that’s poor service.

Poor quality and service, £3.70 for a SMALL black Americano (ie no milk or skill required) should be amazing but far from it. Just a plain old Starbucks coffee. Served with monosyllabic generally grumpy lady who sadly doesn’t enjoy her job - my advice, go to Costa!
