Nando's in Craigavon

Brilliant quality food, and friendly staff never fails to impress sometimes the waits can be long but they always make up for it and apologise appropriately, definitely worth a visit!

Visited tonight with family. The restaurant was freezing. Asked twice to turn off air conditioning but no joy. Baltic. Ordered food at till and it took 26 mins to arrive at our table. When it arrived it was all cold. Cold corn n cob, chicken burgers etc. McDonald’s wld have got a better score

I don’t get the attraction of this chain at all. It’s overpriced for battery raised, skinny, factory chickens slaughtered en masse, frozen and dispatched to freezers in this chain. Likewise the mashed potatoes and fries too are mass produced in factories also frozen and transported to the freezers in this chain. So prep is defrosting, microwaving, deep frying and oven heating. I find their peri peri sauces - also mass produced in factories - acrid. I find them unpleasant to eat and to smell - they pinch my nose. The only attraction with fast food, junk food, is that the skinny battery chickens when defrosted are flame singed and grilled with flaccid skin on but that’s about it. Cheap crap food and priced at double what it should be. It’s not for me. I find the staff friendly but really interaction is limited as customers get their own drinks, get their own sauces so it’s all rather unappealing and not at all appetising.

Came for a lunch date with my husband the service for impeccable, they went above and beyond with every last thing. I've a nut allergy and it definitely didn't get over looked in the slightest. Staff where so friendly and welcoming. We will be back the food was outstanding,I've eaten in a nandos in London and it was awful and rushmere was incredible.

Surprisingly good. Easy to order. Kids liked it and Lauren was very helpful. Couldn't finish all the chickpea veggi wrap so even got a box to take half home. 😀

Last time we went to this particular nandos was several years ago as we had a bad experience before. We decided to give it another go to see if they had made improvements and we have to say they sure have. Food was delicious and staff very pleasent. We will definitely be back we enjoyed alot thank you

Service was slow, tables were grubby. Food was cold when it arrived and side orders were not as requested. Subsequently the side order items were confirmed as “unavailable”. Overall, nothing special for the £40 paid for 2 people. Best to avoid this place.

It is ridiculous expensive for the quality of food. greasy tables and I was shocked with overall service. HOW COME charges so much and I have to order at the till? Order on QR code took too long. Cheap food! Wont be back.

My friend and I called in for food at tea time, would just like to say how friendly and helpful all the young staff were, we were looked after above and beyond, they couldn't have done anything more, for being so young, their manners, people skills and service was excellent. Thank you.

Bland tasteless cold starters. Rubber chickens straight out of the Muppet show and unreal gourmet prices. Won't be back. First and only visit

This was our first Nandos after lockdown. It did not dissapoint. Our lovely servers made our Al Fresco dining comfortable with 2 glasses of wine on the house. It took the bite off the slight chill in the air. The food was great. Thank you to the attentive staff for catering to our every need!

Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and no problem to much. A great example were even though they was a problem, good customer service still made the experience enjoyable... I would happily come back regularly and I would recommend this place, especially for support workers to bring their client.  Thank again Aiden.

Embarrassed, I was in Nando’s with my daughter and I had a bad experience. The manager told me they put my name in a book. So I tried to redeem it, months later. On being seated I said someone put our name in the book, it was in the summer, I don’t even think you could still have it. We’re happy to pay. At first the manager was really nice, but then, things changed. So despite not using this Nando’s and stating I hadn’t been in since the last bad experience. I was told I was there all the time. Accused of fraud by redeeming whatever was in the book twice. They weren’t even sure they had the right entry. But Two managers said I had been in to redeem but they had the wrong person they stated December. When I told the manager I was embarrassed I was told I was causing a scene and was in all the time despite not being back since the first incident. After leaving I went back to clarify the date with evidence from my phone of the date of the visit and to ask for an apology as the date quoted by managers was wrong. I was told that there were families and children present and that I was aggressive. No apology was offered despite me indicating that they clearly had the wrong family. Completely horrific. Story changed twice, male manager claimed he did not say we had redeemed it. He remembered the first incident and if I remember correctly was at least partly in the middle of the first incident which caused the mess. Told By him I was making a scene . He then said something else Was going on here. Referred to an investigation. Kept stating there are families here and you are drawing attention to yourself. Clearly any human would be upset after quite blatantly being accused of fraud. Worst experience ever

Saturday evening before cinema and was disappointed as table not to clean and chicken portions quite small.

I visited the Rushmere branch of Nando’s midweek for lunch with a friend. This was my first time in this branch of Nando’s but having been to a few others in Belfast and London, I knew what to expect. It was fairly empty when I arrived shortly after midday, but it got steadily busier. The happy, helpful server who greeted me was happy for me to choose my own table - I picked a booth opposite the drinks and condiments (see photo). The green leather(ette?) booths are very nice and comfortable. The menu is the same here as every other Nando’s so go online if you want to know what they serve - but it’s a Peri Peri chicken restaurant, and they do a great selection of chicken dishes. They also have a range of vegetarian options. I usually get a butterfly chicken breast but decided to try something different this time and ordered their chicken breast wrap instead, as I was tempted by the mention of chilli jam. I got 2 sides with it - my favourites of Macho peas and spicy rice. You order at the counter and pay then and there - the girl at the till offered me a unique code to go online to get my points added as I forgot to bring my Nando’s points. This was nice of her. I didn’t even know this was possible. You also pay for your drinks when ordering your food. I got a mango juice which was lovely - nice and thick like a smoothie texture. My friend was given a glass to get her Diet Coke - there’s a machine for fizzy drinks and you can get as many refills as you like for a set price. The ice dispenser was out of order on this occasion - hopefully not a regular thing. You help yourself to cutlery and napkins and sauces at the same counter. I was pleased to see they had a good range of sauces available, in various flavours. They were very neat and tidy, and the restaurant certainly looked clean as well. Our food didn’t take long to be brought to the table - probably about 10 minutes or so. My wrap was lovely, as were my sides. All we’re and tasty! The food was consistent with what I got in other branches so no surprises. My friend hit a Dino chicken dish with chips and coleslaw - which she enjoyed. The portions were quite large too. The staff were cheerful and couldn’t have been nicer. They checked first whether I’d been to Nando’s before as they would have explained the menu and system of ordering otherwise, and they also checked with us during our meal that everything was ok. They didn’t rush us to finish and left it a respectable amount of time after we’d finished eating before asking if they could take away our plates, and also afterwards to check if we’d like to order coffees / desserts. I was tempted to order the chocolate cake but at approx £5, I decide to grab a bun in the shopping centre instead. My wrap and sides were reasonable value though. All in all this is a nice branch of Nando’s and I’d be happy to go back, and happy to recommend it.

We had our lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised. The portions were huge and really tasty. The ordering was fast and simple and the staff were friendly. The restaurant was busy and there was a nice buzz among diners. The food came out fast and was delivered by a friendly server- and another server came over during the meal to make sure everything was fine. A fantastic lunch was had by all

Excellent food fantastic service and Naomi is an asset and great ambassador for Nandos thank you Naomi Orla and Peter

Ridiculous. Have tried on five separate occasions to order their new "Greens and Grains" salad. Every time it's been "out". Even at 4pm on a Monday. On the 5th time they didn't have it I said to the duty manager that it was crazy they never have it - Her response - "Yea, everyone starts their diets on a Monday so we never have it by the afternoon......" Enough said. I asked for the hummus instead......er..... we don't have that either. I opted for the Caesar salad which was swimming in dressing. Never again. Worst Nando's ever.

Food was tasty but not much of it and expensive for what it was. Kids portion was ok but left feeling hungry.

There is a lovely atmosphere and staff are friendly and informative. Because we were in a hurry we noticed the food took over 20 mins to arrive and our chips were cold. It could have been a one of as everyone else's food was quick. We will be back because we want to try the rest of the menu.

Quite busy since it was Easter holidays but seated quickly. We had chicken burgers and chicken pitta with haloumi. Food was served quickly and was tasty. Staff were friendly.

Just visited Nandos at Rushmere Shopping Centre, Craigavon, with my wife for a quiet lunchtime meal. Overall, the food: breast of chicken on Bhatti Bread and Chips for me; Burger/salad meal for my wife. Result? The food was served hot, and well cooked in a clean eating space cubicle, BUT, the portions of chicken meat were SMALL to say the least! Come on, Nandos Craigavon! Don't skimp on the chicken! You are doing a good job in the other aspects of your eating experience provision - BUT, you must give the paying customer enough of your meat product, or they, like my wife and I, will go away DISSATISFIED AND STILL HUNGRY!

Ive been to nandos resturants in different places and this one has been by far the worst ive eaten in. First we where shown to our table and when we sat down the table had not been cleaned and there was sauce all over it which my husband cleaned with a tissue. So we choose what we wanted and went to the til as normal to order and when finished our order the same person who had put us on our table had given our table to someone else!! So we had to go to another table. So the food arrived and it looked the part but as we started eating, our side of sweet potatoes where not cooked very well and where hard in the middle. The chicken was very well done! We finished eating and my husband showed the manager that the sweet potato was raw and he said we cant do anything because we had finished. The manager was the same person that seated us and the other people at the same table. Because of this experience i would not reccommend the craigavon nandos.

This restaurant is busy, be prepared to queue over lunch and dinner time. We arrived at 1pm on a sunday just as it opened and got straight in and served really quickly. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Food was good, had the whole platter, between four, it’s just over £20 fo a whole chicken and two large sides, good value for a family, much better value than ordering kids meals and adult meals. Loads of chips so not measly portions. Restaurant is clean, well stocked with sauces etc. Will definitely go back.

First time in Nando’s. Excellent service, friendly staff who explained the menu, quick service too! Loved the selection of hot sauces. I will definitely be back

After much debating on what to have I decided on the Filet steak prego roll with garlic bread side order. My fiancé had chicken wings. The order came pretty quick which was good. We were hungry and ready to eat. The chicken wings are a strong favourite of my fiancé's so he enjoyed those in their hot flavour. I ate my garlic bread which was ok. A bit soda bread like, slightly tough but ok at the same time. Not much taste to it but with the sauce I used it was ok. Then to my prego roll. Looked good but that's were it ended. A thick slice of tomoto with the green hard center bit on my steak just put me off straight away. My picture shows this! Very bad kitchen prep allowing this to make its way onto anyone's plate. My steak to start was almost impossible to cut with an ordinary knife. Asked staff for a sharper knife which they don't have. On talking to young waitress she told me I'm not the first to complain about this. The effort I had to put into cutting this steak was hardly worth it. It was an Okay piece of steak, nothing special at all. Hard to cut, not much taste, infact very average. The roll it came in was tough to eat and was like a sour dough taste. I was unimpressed by our first visit to this newly opened nandos. Personally I won't be back. Almost £34 for what we got was soo not worth it. My mistake for choosing nandos over McDonald's. That won't happen a second time.

Went for first time and what can I say food is yummy definitely be back again staff are welcoming and friendly and only got to write this review now I’ve been back about 7 times now from that and never had a bad meal out of the place next time going to try a dessert

Visited for first time with friends. The chicken thighs were nice. I'm not one for spicy so had the plain. Added coleslaw and corn on cob. The bottle of wine of reasonable price.The service I thought was excellent. A young lady called Lauren served up. Nothing was too much trouble. As it was our first time she showed us where everything was. Service with a smile !!!

I made a booking at Nando’s for 10 people and they’ve just called me to cancel it.. I’d actually called into the restaurant twice to first of all make sure they took bookings and then the next day to confirm the numbers, without any issues...The reason given for cancelling the booking was that they’ve stopped taking bookings?? Its only a suggestion but perhaps a slightly better way to implement this change in approach would be to honour the bookings you’ve made and simply not take any new ones??

It's good to see a few new food offerings around the Craigavon/Portadown area and this is a great addition. Went there with a friend last night and enjoyed in very much. I had a butterfly chicken, spicy, and a couple of sides. The fries were very tasty and the much vaunted garlic bread was a bit on the rubbery side but tasty.I'd be lying if I said I was a fan of the method of service in Nando's, where you check out the menu then report back to the ordering station, McDonald's style. Nonetheless, that's just my opinion and it seems to work for them and people seem to enjoy it so fair dues to them.The bottomless drinks could benefit from a decent sized glass, as the one they give you is tiny and necessitates several trips to the dispenser.My only other gripe is that our starter of Roulette Wings arrived at the same time as the main course. I was told by a member of staff that this may have benn because I didn't stipulate that I wanted it as a starter, but I checked with the young lady who took my order and it was indeed ordered as a starter.The place was clean and tidy,the young lady who met us at the door with menus was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. The complaints fall into the "minor" category as far as I'm concerned, and I enjoyed being there so 4 stars for me!

My wife and I headed to the new nandos at the Rushmere shopping center for dinner on a Friday night.The new place looks great but is extremely small, this seems to be a theme with big brands coming to the area, they underestimate the number of people who will want to go there.We waited over 30 minutes for a table, which meant that it was almost a full hour before we got to eat. We wouldn't have minded, as the queue looked busy, but once inside we counted 7 empty tables. The staff weren't really able to manage the flow of customers to get everyone seated.Some of the tables were empty the entire time we were eating, whilst the queue seemed to grow and grow.The food was to the same exacting standards we expect from nandos, and the restaurant is nicely decorated, but the long wait and issues with the queue left a sour taste.I think that we would be better to make the trip to Belfast and be able to walk right in to one of their much larger resturaunts than to wait in line again

Can only say...excellent food...excellent service....excellent manager....and great ambiance. Do yourselves a favour....and go!

First time even in nandos me and my partner where the first in through the doors and first impressions where the place looks amazing . Very friendly staff was seated and had menu explained to us .
