Although choices were restricted due to demand earlier in the day - staff were clear and helpful in recommending alternatives, which did not disappoint. The salad was fresh, chips hot and the chicken was succulent and tasty. Cheese cake a decent size and as described.

We came for food this evening with our Autistic boy. The service was amazing and we were very much looked after by Sam. I was amazed with her knowledge and support. She gave us some sensory toys for our child and offered to turn the music down. What a fantastic lady, Nando’s, you should be so proud of her.

Cheeky Nandos. Always hits the spot. Juicy chicken, lots of tasty sides. It's a huge calorie hit but who cares. Butterfly chicken is my personal favourite. Not cheap mind can cost 15-20 quid depending on options. Everytime I come back to the UK I get a Nandos

I visited the Merthyr Tydfil branch for the first time in a few months after going to Nantgarw regularly (We prefer that store). We were greeted by an Asian man with a beard who said “whatsa dudes” which we thought was unprofessional even though he was enthusiastic. Although we didn’t approve of the greeting, the food was fantastic and we will be returning.

Ordered a takeaway from Nando’s last Friday and when I arrived to collect it the tills were down and they were unable to process my order through the normal channels. However, the manager was very professional under extreme pressure and managed to take my order manually, this incurred an additional 20 minute wait but I left with my evening meal where this could have finished with me leaving with nothing so well done to the duty manager that evening, kept the business ticking over until the till came back up - a credit to Nando’s.

I've been to quite a few Nandos restaurants and have to say this was not the worst but certainly not the best. We were seated fairly quickly, well quicker than the 25 minute wait we were told... Bonus! When ordering food I was the only person waiting and stood for 10 minutes while the two staff took phone orders instead. Food came quick but my chicken was very dry. The usual food check didn't come until after we were finished and he disappeared so quickly I didn't even have time to tell him the problem.

Nando’s is a good place to eat when your on the move or travelling for work. A great fail safe for everyone. There were 8 of us that went and the service was really quick. Easily accessible as it’s right by the A470 and part of a retail complex so plenty of parking.

As someone who travels around the country for work, Nando's is one of my usual dinner choices in various locations, and more often than not they serve an enjoyable, reasonably priced meal.I recently tried to visit this one in Merthyr, but unfortunately got fed up of standing in the doorway next to the 'Wait here to be seated' sign. A few staff were rushing around but didn't seem to pay much attention to me; there were plenty of tables free and I was the only one waiting.After more than 5 minutes I just left and had a nice meal elsewhere.Shame, seems like the team here are letting down the side. Terrible service.

Expensive!!! I just can't justify £12 for a small bit of chicken! Chips were cold, corn was nice, chicken had clearly been sat around for an hour (it was mid afternoon therefore very quiet). Kids meals..... £6 for food, no drink or dessert included!!!!!! Drinks, OK their refillable but at nearly £3 a glass you'd want to drink 10 glasses!!! Overall a disappointing visit, staff were looking bored and unmotivated, I didn't like the fact they were eating at the food counter, surely the food is for paying guests and not for staff to pick at?!? Expensive and overrated. I won't be going back.

We visited as a family 2 adults and 2 children. We were told there was a 20 minute wait for a table although there were 14 free tables still waiting to be cleared and about 20 people waiting to be seated! When the food arrived it wasn't as nice as usual, we all had butterfly chicken and the chicken was very dry. We visit here regularly and love a Nandos but this is the 2nd visit w have had the same so we wont be going to the Merthyr branch again.

Took my daughter here for food after a great night out at the theatre. Arrived and completed our food order by 10:30pm was told our food would take 15 mins. 30 mins later we were still waiting for our food. I wouldn’t usually be so concerned but when I specifically questioned whether the food would take any longer than 15 mins and I was told 15 mins longest, and it’s so late with a 12 year old. I dont feel this is acceptable. After 30 mins i questioned the lady who had advised our food would take 15 mins how much longer our food would take. We were then given our food by a man who I assume was the manager. Rather than just apologise for the delay, he gave excuses. In addition, the floor space behind the counter was covered in food, disinfectant bottle, and grime. Empty tables had dirty plates and the glasses we were given were dirty ( 2 sets) the water jug we were given was also dirty with yellow bits floating in cloudy water that was taken from the water machine. We obviously didn’t drink the water but made an additional order for cans of iced tea instead. First and last time I will eat at this place! Horrendous!

First visit to a Nandos - and quite likely my last. Shown to a table and left to it, we had to figure out that it wasn't waitress service you have to go to the counter. The food came but we could not hear the waitress over the "background music" that was way too loud for lunchtime when people want to chat. So the food, we had a boneless platter for 2 - very poor value for money, not nice , what a rip. The flush handle in the disabled toilet was broken. Won't be going back.

I'm a resident in Merthyr Tydfil, having visited Nando's restaurant in Merthyr Tydfil for the first time on 19/07/2017 12-30pm. I received poor customer service, but having visited other Nando's restaurants in Cardiff bay and Trafford centre Manchester compared to Merthyr Tydfil Nando's both had excellent service. However it was not the same experience at Merthyr Tydfil Nando's. I was greeted at the entrance by an employee of Nando's with a low key welcome and no instruction how the establishments system works. and where to order, not until I had to ask. Momentarily I was guided to the service order counter to order my food at the service counter. where two more Nando employees were preparing food. I waited for several minutes and continued to wait which seemed an uncomfortable amount of time, no eye contact with me from the two Nando employees. I no longer felt I wanted to stay as I received poor customer care and I was completely put off by the Nando's experience in Merthyr Tydfil. I complained to Nando's online with an unsatisfactory response and no apology. I feel I should warn people of my bad experience at Nando's Merthyr Tydfil and maybe Nando's will improve their employee customer care and employee training, If Nando's company read this review. I hope the Nando's service will improve for the people of Merthyr Tydfil who are spending their hard earned cash and expect to be treated respectfully and with good customer care.

I love Nando's. I love how some reviews write that "it's only chicken and chips". What else do you expect??? Very busy friday night, been greeted by a lovely lady who told us it would be 20 mins for a table, it was less than that. Ordered chicken and chips, as you do, they came fairly quickly, hot and tasty, as per usual. Picked my sauces, cutlery, I've been offered a second plate to share my platter with my platter. All in all, really nice, polite and helpful staff, tasty food, free extra sauces, the places was cleaned as soon as they could, bear in mind the restaurant was packed. I love me some Nando's and this is a good branch. Try to save some room for desserts as the gooey caramel cheesecake is to die for. Keep up the good work guys, you are doing great.

Our waitress warned us that the food might be up to 20 mins to arrive, but it actually reached our table in under 10. Cue silence as we devoured some excellent chicken burgers. Hot for me, mild for them. They then ramped that up with some sauce to dip chips in. I also had the grain thing as a super sized side dish and that was delicious too.Good job.

Thought I would venture out for a little bit of Wednesday night food at my 3rd favourite restaurant chain Nando's. So after looking at the menu (not that I need too) I went to the till to order some food where I was then entertained by the manager who seemed to be making paper chains from till rolls, not sure what was going on but I think the till rolls where getting the better of him. Once the food come out the sweet potato wedges were cremated, the salad was supposed to have avocado as an extra but was forgotten, the tomato ketchup was nearly extinct but fair play to the member of staff who found me two bottles with a little bit sauce at the bottom to salvage, she also sorted me out some sweet potato mash to replace cremated sweet potato wedges. All in all not the best food experience Just to add a bit more entertainment to the evening I think the staff in the kitchen were with having a Greek party or juggling with the pots and pans as it sounded like a few inmates from Leyhill HMP were let loose in the kitchen. And then there cameo of the staff member who thought kicking the bag of rubbish along the floor from the kitchen to the back area would be great idea. Anyway , I will still be back as I don't think I could go with out my weekly Nando's but hey as this Nando's visit wasn't the best a free one next one time wouldn't go a miss

Another solid visit to my favourite chicken-specific chain in the UK. Despite waiting longer than usual for food, which could be forgiven due to several large parties of diners being present Sunday evening, I couldn't knock the food itself.Great friendly service from the waitress too, she even apologised for the lack of Butterfly Chicken on previous visits to both Merthyr and Wembley! It's the little touches like that which make all the difference.As per usual, the food itself was packed with taste and leaves me wondering what exactly their recipe is that keeps you coming back for more time and again.Nando's in Merthyr continues to serve as a cool and convenient place to grab something to eat either with friends, family, a date or even as a little business meeting place. Works well too that it's flanked on either side by a Vue Cinema and SuperBowl.

Listen. I am not a big fan of Nandos but younger people love it. I was travelling with 15 teenagers so they had the majority as to where we went to eat. I have to say the service was excellent, Tom the manger was superb, welcoming, highly friendly, efficient and generally interested in us even though the place was manic. I still think it's overpriced chicken & chips but the experience was very good. Food was tasty, hot and quickly served. Nothing was to much trouble from the waiting staff.

Had an awful experience after waiting 40 minutes for our meals when half the place was empty our food finally came after we watched it standing there for 20 minutes. The chicken was completely cold and chips soggy! Just unenjoyable! As basic food hygiene would have taught them, hot food should be kept above 60C until served- which this certainly was not the case! Usually in a nandos, a waiter/dress would come over to ask if all was ok with our meal? Yet this never happened (as I waited to tell them exactly how it was) service was not there at all! Again, I repeat that the place was half empty so there really wasn't any excuse! Unfortunately, after this bad experience we will not be returning to this nandos again!

Unfortunately the film was the only good thing in the evening as we waited 36 mins from ordering food until it was delivered to the table, although some of it was on the counter for quite some time before being delivered.

My daughter wanted me to bring her here as she loves it. I'm really not keen on these kind of food chains but give it a go for her. It was as I expected, over rated. Friendly service from the girl on the till where you had to queue for ages to give your table number. We took our drinks back to the table where I was conscious of the fact I was going to finish my glass of wine before food arrived, not very relaxing as I didn't want to queue again. Our food arrived in half hour. My daughter enjoyed her chicken, my beanie burger was overcooked and quite charred on the one side with a few chips on the side. Conversation was strained as I could not hear anything being said due to the loud music playing in the background, so this ended up with most people in the restaurant shouting across tables to each other. So Very noisy. My daughter wanted dessert so she had to queue once again with another wait for it to be brought over. It will be a very long time....if ever, will I set foot in one of these chains again. Its most certainly a place for the youngsters to come who don't mind waiting and waiting!! Its probably the same in every Nandos, not just this one.

You are guaranteed good food in a Nando's restaurant and this was no exception.The staff were very courteous and helpful and although you don't usually linger too long you still feel you have had a restaurant experience.

Been here loads of times with mates, brought my mum yesterday, Sunday lunchtime. Lovely friendly staff, really good food. Minor criticism the sweet potato wedges were cooked but cold on the plate when they arrived. Everything else was very good.

Had to wait 15 minutes for a table for two on a busy Saturday night, but that was to be expected, so we didn't mind. After being seated and then placing our order, our food came quite quickly, but ended up being a bit of a shambles. The chicken we had each ordered was correct, but some of the sides were incorrect or missing, plus we had to send back the macho peas, as they were really hard. The waitress quickly offered to give us the side we were missing immediately without any fuss, or without removing the one we hadn't ordered either. Plus she had no qualms in removing the macho peas and getting us a fresh one, when which it came, was very nice! All the food we had was very tasty, and we both enjoyed it. Only other thing was that it was gone 9pm, and it was a bit chilly, as the staff were keeping the main front door open. When we asked them to shut it, they obliged straight away. A bit of a mixed evening, but could not fault the great customer service shown by a couple of the waitresses that night. Well done, and will definitely return.

We came here a few weeks ago as its our local Nando's, only to be told that half the things we ordered weren't available. No avocado in the avocado salad, no quinoa in the quinoa salad, we ordered a starter of olives, paid for them but the waitress arrived a few minutes later to say they had run out of those too. It was a Tuesday night so it wasn't even a busy night. Extremely badly managed if the manager can't be bothered to check stock levels!

Waiting 35 minutes for an order is NOT ACCEPTABLE!! All we wanted was some livers and a full platter, and what we got was an afternoon wasted on the take away bench. When we got home the food was COLD, the chicken DRY, and NO SAUCE with the livers. We were offered free sides as apology, but how long would that have taken?!!?!? The sides we did receive were DRY AND MINISCULE! Hard, choking garlic bread slices and a quarter of a box of LUMPY mash!!DO NOT GO TO THIS TAKE AWAY FOR FOOD, UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO WAIT A LONG TIME FOR YOUR ORDER!!!!

Our last experience was good quick service edible food and reasonable price. Unfortunately the latest experience was not so good. Food is expensive for low cost ingredients, they are keen to get you out as four different girls asked if we had finished when we were still half way through our meal. They do not follow up their customer feed back forms which would have avoided a post on tripadvisor generally would not recommend to families looking for good value eateries.

Attend this nandos on a regular basis. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Told there was a five minute wait but was seated straight away. Excellent service and a very short wait for food which tasted great. Definitely recommend this restaurant, never fails t impress.

I really love nandos it's not gourmet food but it's always really nice and have lots of choices for different levels of spice!!! Staff are always friendly and helpful. I do think the prices can be a little expensive but it doesn't stop me going and they also have a children's menu which my two love!

My wife, 2 adult sons and myself visited Nando's on the spur of the moment for my wife's birthday, it was mid week. It was very full but the Service was good, food was good and reasonable, drinks a bit expensive. It's a mix of restaurant and fast food but good. Atmosphere was lively and friendly.

Went here after hearing the good comments. Found my order to be cold so when I complained the person who claimed he was the manager came over and was as rude as can be. Got vouchers from he'd office who couldn't apologise enough but my honest opinion is my night was spoilt by bad food and worse service. I hope it was an isolated incident.

We visited Nando's last night on a rare evening off and had a really nice meal. The service was very friendly and the food arrived promptly (but we were never made to feel rushed). The food was well prepared and presented and tasted good. The price is reasonable although 'slightly' high in my opinion (starter, main and 1 drink each for 2 was £37).The only negatives I can really offer are that the "self-service" cutlery had quite a few dirty pieces with dried food still on them so I had to sort through about half a dozen knives to find a couple of clean ones. The other negative (which is obviously down to personal preference) is that the music is played too loud. I will definitely be returning in the future though.

We regularly visit Nando's in Merthyr before going to the Cinema next door and have never been disappointed. The staff are fantastic; friendly, efficient and nothing is ever too much trouble. We are always seated quickly and the food is hot, there is plenty of it and it tastes great! The restaurant is always very clean and tables are cleared quickly with the staff checking if there is anything else they can do/get for you. Big thank you to the staff who are fab and always make it an enjoyable experience!
