Nando's in Leicester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went in for a takeaway on 10/08/24. The food was great although rating it 3* as the chicken and wings were not grilled to perfectness. Otherwise the service from the staff was superb and the ambience was bright and lively.

Food was fire and the staff were lovely, the waiting times were decent too.

It was so hot inside and there was no air-conditioning or any ventilation, the tables were not stable and kept shaking, they even put some supporting cartons underneath some!! Compared with other branches, this was not one of the good ones I've tried.

Food is top notch can't complain from the chiefs in the kitchen very well done! I've only been twice so may not be all of the girls but from what I experienced the young girls have a stick on their shoulder slightly moody with not much of a welcoming vibe, when asked questions they didn't know much information and shrugged it off without pointing in the right direction.

Good service. Restaurant itself needs regular cleaning - it was quiet yet dirty plates were left for ages on some tables. Toilets were absolutely filthy.

Very noisy, food tasty, when it finally arrived (minimum 45 minute wait) but nowhere near warm enough. Toilets/sinks etc absolutely filthy. It wasn’t particularly busy and plenty of staff wandering around. We’ll stick to Granby St or Fosse Park if we feel inclined to have a Nando’s in future.

The food was so dry and nasty. Never coming here again don’t go to nandos in Leicester unless you want food poisoning.

Food is amazing and I always come here, service is completely horrible and the wait time was insanely long and they even ran out of the bloody bone chicken. Instead of cooking, the flipping workers have been playing with stickers! Atmosphere was nice but dirty

Always friendly staff, can’t go wrong with Nandos. Grilled chicken always tastes amazing.

I am not one to write a bad review but I feel compelled to write one. After several years I looked forward to visiting this branch. The menus were dirty, the tables were unclean. My order was incorrect but due to tiredness and hunger I decided not to change it. I’m not a very fussy person. I can understand human error. The food arrived - the chips were greasy, the chicken shrivelled and not juicy it seemed not fresh. The corn on the cob was ok. I was very disappointed I could have cooked much better or get this meal at the fraction of the price.

Nando's has always been one of my favourite restaurants, however our most recent visit was a huge disappointment. Firstly, we were ignored by the staff, who was busy chatting and laughing behind the counter , once seated our table was dirty and sticky, the waiter wasn't bothered to wipe it until we called him and asked to do it. 10 minutes after placing an order, another waiter informed us that the meal we ordered wasn't available. We agreed to swap the Mediterranean salad for the Ceasar one - so basically after paying nearly £30 we got a few leaves of romaine lettuce with some cheese and dressing sprinkled on top!!!!! Luckily we added some extra chicken tights, otherwise we would have left more hungry than we came. Honestly, I have never been so disappointed with the food and service. This salad shouldn't cost most than £5. Staff seemed to be doing nothing, it looked like there were no manager on the shift. Very, very disappointed

Surprisingly quiet branch of Nando’s. Odd that bottomless cokes were brought to us, rather than the glass for us to help ourselves. Food not quite up to normal Nando’s standards. Service ok, pleasant.

During my first visit to Nando’s in Leicester, Kerry’s hospitality stood out. He made us feel welcome, offered good service, and had helpful menu recommendations. A pleasant dining experience!

Amazing food Beanie burger was so tasty with peri fries and spicy rice. Also had butterfly chicken delicious

Loved the ambience . Food was lovely . The magic of the traditional Nando sauces adds awesome flavours to the chicken .

So went our for a day with the Mrs then decided to eat at nandos highcross the service was great the customer service was amazing gotta say a big thank you to one of the team members hudayfa (huddz) he's such a hard working guy he'll bring you fast service great customer service and a smile if you gunna go to any nandos in leicester its highcross or freeman's

1 of the best Nandos venues I have been to.

Rude worker in Tamworth nandos swore at kids in toilet who were Indecent he then yelled at them to “go quicker” down the stairs causing one to trip over he then mislead the parent making a false story and false accusations towards the children.Unhappy won’t return

I took my elderly parents for their first ever Nando’s experience. They loved it! The team at Highcross Leicester were very welcoming, kind and friendly. The food was excellent. We are looking forward to going back. 5 stars. Thank you

Came here to dine in and was surprised by the quality of the food I don’t know If it was because it was quite busy but the food was just not good my partner found hair in his food and my burger was undercooked although the food was not great on the day the service provided by the waiter Matt was lovely he seemed new and more interested in his job than others did when it came to helping so Thankyou Matt !

I take my grandbabies to Nandos on the regular. It's a lot healthier than a happy meal & literally costs a pound or so more for the Nandinos menu. Always Fresh, hot & tasty. My 10 grandbabies love the unlimited frozen yogurt too. Yummy !

Lovely atmosphere and lots of different flavours sauces.well cooked chicken

Best quality of Peri peri chicken

food is fresh and absolutely delicious 😋

Good food, great atmosphere with africain music, lovely staff.

Pretty quiet as it was a weekday lunchtime, staff were lovely and helpful. Food great as always!

Really nice environment, food is amazing , definitely recommend as I've been here for a few occasions and have always had a lovely time.

Nandos is the same world over the quality of the food is the same no matter where you go the service is usually good as is the decor. The size of the chicken seems to have shrank where as the prices have increased.

Very spacious and nicely designed nando's. Good service and tasty food.

Service was mediocre. We waited 45min to get our food. Cutlery was not clean (I changed 2 pairs of cutlery). They served a table of 10 that sat down after we had already ordered and were waiting for 10-15 minutes before 20 minutes before we even had our food. They brought us the wrong order twice. The place needs some serious cleaning everywhere.

Table of 6 that just needed clearing but apparently 30 minute wait for a table bit disappointed

Food is good but the wait is horrible. You wait at least an hour for your food which is ridiculous. And even though the food is good, it does not worth the wait. Even if you order simple half chicken or similar meals, you still wait a long time. It doesn’t take that long to cook those foods. Also I noticed this ones quality of food is not high as the other ones

Love this place. Food is always spot on, staff are friendly, and the atmosphere has improved massively over the years.

Nando's is one of our favourite places to eat out, nearly always busy in there, food is mostly served quickly ànd never had a negative experience in there yet.

Nice enough. What you would expect from Nandos.

Huge fan of Nandos here. I have eaten in a nandos at least once per month for years now. This is why I'm so disappointed with my visit to Leicester Nandos on this date. Maybe they were really busy, but I don't think that's really an excuse as the food came pretty quick. Firstly, the soft drinks had no carbonation in them. So it was just flat syrup. Then the food came out cold. We had a sharing platter, and the chicken was cold, the chips were also cold. The side dishes we had, the muscle peas and the mac n cheese were hot. Very hot, so thanks for that. Maybe the chicken was sat out waiting for the muscle peas and the macncheese to cook. Either way, very disappointed. Didn't bother complaining because we were in a hurry and didn't have time for it to be recooked/reheated. Will definitely think twice about visiting a Nandos again, other nearby options more likely to serve their food fresh. Recommendation for the kitchen - get one of those little cheap laser temperature things. If the food is below a certain temp, don't bother bringing it out.

I arrived at 11:00, which was their opening time. however i was greeting by a strange gentleman at the door who told me that they weren’t ready and would be open in next time minutes. I came back 30 minutes later and the same strange gentleman gave me weird looks and gestured another 10 minutes. i finally got a table and when the food arrived (another 30 minutes later), it had tasted like i got last nights unsold stock. I’m currently having stomach pains as of writing. I would definitely AVOID THIS PLACE!!

Nando's can never disappoint when you want a quick meal This time we got the Garlic Churrasco Burger, Wing Roulette and the Boneless Chicken Thighs. The burger is new on the menu that has grilled chicken thighs with pickled onions, Churrasco PERinaise served between Garlic Bread Buns that was light and such a treat. We got the chicken thighs with the new Smoky Churrasco spice and the 10 pieces Wing Roulette has all levels of spices and you never know what you get when you pick up a wing.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful, even helping with an additional order whilst we were enjoying our meal.

The chicken was very dry and luke warm like it had been cooked and left on a warm stove for a few hours. The Mash potatoe was also stone cold in the middle.

Keira gave me amazing service today

Ordered a takeaway and waited over 40 minutes but the food didn't turn up, could even see it waiting on the hot counter but despite loads of staff no one collected the order. Ended up asking for a refund and the leaving, waste of time. Kitchen seemed chaotic and unclean, other customers also complaining of the long wait. Better service in McDonald's

The service in Nando’s Highcross was so great, the place is so cozy and has a friendly atmosphere. The staff are very gentle and polite to customers not just me but other customers too. A lady called Suzanne served me and she’s such a helpful person, she was smiling and serving me she’s gave me a 10/10 service. Keep up the good work

I have been to this Nando’s many times with my family and husband and it has always been a fantastic experience. The team are always friendly, polite and the restaurant is always clean. I love the food is always fresh and hot whether eating in or ordering to take out. A particular mention to the manager Ben, who has always made the experiences enjoyable. He is always warm, welcoming and friendly; as well as going above and beyond to sort any issues with regards to orders

It was ok. As usual, you have to wait for a bit despite empty tables. I give a 3 for food because I consider that two of the sides I ordered were way too short. One of them was brocoli, and I got just two stems of it, really? Then I also ordered two bowls of rice, and it wasn't full 🙃 .

Overworked staff dry chicken Horrible line

The worst experience ever. Pricy and poor quality

Food was good albeit a bit expensive. Cutlery was not clean. Had to get a napkin to clean most of the knives.

Went to Nandos to eat on the 13th dec 2023. Food was perfect. The lady that seated us was great as she managed to get us a booth. The gent who served us was excellent. They made my night as it was my birthday and I got free cake at the end of our meal. No way they knew it was my birthday. Thank you Nandos Leicester Highcross

Good was really late, booked a table and it wasn’t even booked. Waited more than half an hour before we got a table and more than an hour before we got our food

I can only give a rating on this dependant on how much I experienced and since I didn't eat here, I can only comment on the sizeable queue which we had to wait in. We were about 3rd in the queue when we got there and then another 2 or 3 people came in after us and nobody came to deal with the mounting queue of customers. The restaurant also wasn't that busy, so why nobody was on the door I don't know. In the end, we ended up leaving and eating elsewhere. I feel slightly unfair leaving this review as I didn't eat here, so I don't feel like it's a rounded review on anything other than customer service. But I do personally feel that such a high number of customers shouldn't be left waiting for ages.

Nice venue lots of room food good, service a bit slow

Great service, prefer this nandoes compared to the one in freeman's common!

I went to this nados and the food is amazing. You can get your own drinks and refill at any time you like. If you don't like talking to people for orders then you can order on their website and they will bring to you in about 20-30 mins. I recomend

Bog standard Nandos. Large roomy space with lots of tables so you'd probably always manage to get a seat.

Food good as usual, service a little slow.

Bit dark in there but the food is always nice

Never had nandos food was nice staff were friendly and helpful

Fantastic service! Most of the food was great. The chicken just needed longer on the grill and a tad more sauce. Place could do with a slight clean although the cobwebs are quite apt at this time of the year!

Beautiful food tonight. Great friendly service too 👍

Good place, good food, great service, very busy place.

Good food and great service 🍽 Toilets are tidy and maintained well. Like the place 👌

Food was great, portion sizes were just right, didn't have to wait long for anything. Lovely atmosphere and extra helpful staff, nothing was too much for them to sort out.

Service was slow and food was not up to standard. Dirty tables

Beth was super friendly and helpful, made the experience very enjoyable. Food was lovely too.

Very tasty food well worth the money

The staff were very friendly and the food was lovely

Excellent food as usual very nice spicy flavours. Half chicken is good for one who is super hungry. I would suggest sides as chips and corn. On the other hand they hide the poster mentioning nhs discount and after I paid I asked them can I have this discount and they said I already paid which was ridiculous and managers did not want to help about it. The problem is they hide the poster way behind the counters so they wanted me to pay extra even though I was eligible for a 20 percent discount. I gave 3 because of the food.

Another day another eat out in Leicester, wanted to try somewhere to eat other than London Road. So headed over to the other side of Leicester city centre. For me its been a long time that I’ve been at a Nando's, so I forgotten how it all works in Nandos. Went inside, a friendly and helpful staff member approached me. I explained to him that I’ve been in a Nando's before but I forgot the ordering process. The kind staff member explained to me how the ordering process works and he went above and beyond to help me out. After this he took me to my table, he presented with me the Main menu and drinks menu. I went for the four boneless chicken thighs this comes with two sides, I chose chips and flavoured rice both of these were regular portions. And regards to the drinks I chose the bottomless option, as per my favourite the classic coke. The food was to be expected between fine to good quality. However the four boneless chicken thighs, were only the front part of the thigh and not the other parts of meat, which I found this not value for money. Maybe I was better off ordering the ½ chicken. My experience here at Nando’s is a good one, but you may need steep pockets when purchasing their food.

Always a pleasure to eat here. The service was amazing. One of the server’s called Zanzibar went above and beyond to make our experience more enjoyable. Will be back again soon with the family.

Loveliest staff ever!! So kind and greeted us warmly both entering and leaving. Ensuring that the food was okay, and very happy to help us out! Thank you :)

Always very clean and good vegan options, the staff are friendly :) and hummus and pitta is my favourite!

Ate at this place prior, and the food is always great. Fantastic taste and atmosphere, open and airy inside, and quick and efficient service. The only reason for the four stars is the price. For the quality of food served and portion sizes, I do feel it’s over priced compared to other spots I’ve dined of similar calibre. Overall great food and great spot to eat.

Wow!!! Impressive restaurant, delicious food, highly recommend

After 10minutes sitting down on our allocated table, we witnessed a staff member using a floor brush to sweep a table that was in front of us. This branch need to review its hygiene policy, staff training & monitoring both shop floor and kitchen staff to meet UK hygiene standards.

The waitress named Jade is incredibly helpful, 5 star service.

Great service and friendly staff. Reported the chips as cold and immediately they replaced them. Toilets could be cleaned more regularly.

فرع ناندوز حلال ودي حاجة كويسة جدا ونضيف ورائع

Overall really good food, way better than the freeman's Park one..

Leicester isn't my favourite city but the shopping centre and good area are really good. This Nando's was top-notch, all good experience.

Awesome reception and service.friendly atmosphere.

My recent dining experience at Nando's Highcross was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful meal. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food. The menu offered a fantastic variety of flame-grilled chicken options, each prepared with a perfect blend of spices and flavors. The chicken was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, making every bite a true delight. The variety of spice levels allowed me to customize my meal to my preference, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. The service was impeccable. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure that my dining needs were met. Their knowledge about the menu and recommendations for sides and sauces added to the overall experience. The ambiance of Nando's Highcross was vibrant and energetic. The décor, music, and overall vibe created a comfortable setting where I could enjoy my meal with friends and family. The side options and salads were fresh and well-prepared, complementing the main dishes perfectly. The Portuguese-inspired flavors were evident in every aspect of the meal, creating a cohesive and enjoyable culinary journey. The cleanliness and hygiene of the restaurant were commendable. It was clear that Nando's Highcross prioritizes maintaining a clean and inviting environment for its patrons. In conclusion, my visit to Nando's Highcross was a fantastic experience that left a lasting impression. The combination of exceptional food, attentive service, vibrant ambiance, and cleanliness created a memorable dining outing. Whether you're a Nando's enthusiast or someone new to the experience, Nando's Highcross is a must-visit destination that guarantees a flavorful and enjoyable meal. My visit was a true delight, and I can't wait to return to explore more of their mouthwatering offerings.

Cashier is very friendly and helpful … floor staff not so nice

The food was great, the restaurant was nice and the service was good for the most part, the staff were friendly however we asked for mayonnaise as the food arrived and the waitress was very rude stating that they had run out. 5 mins later the table next to us has their food arrive and they also asked for mayonnaise and the waitress went off and came back 2 minutes later with some mayonnaise. Needless to say this we were a bit miffed but enjoyed our meal despite a very lazy waitress.

Absolutely ridiculous. I think this has been the worst branch I’ve ever visited in the world !! An absolute mess why have I waited almost 40 minutes for my order while it’s been sat on the Passover. I’ve witnessed staff flirting and gossiping amongst themselves. Why is the food just piling up on the Passover. Once we got up we asked for the refund, why are the staff even hesitating to go to the managers office. Then chefs are coming to us and trying to negotiate for the food to be remade? I’ve already wasted my time why would I want to sit here in awkwardness and eat food I don’t want anymore. Genuinely ridiculous. Absolute waste of time will never visit again and I absolutely do not recommend.

Pathetic service; the managers are the laziest I’ve ever seen. No sense of hustle or leadership. Waited 45mins to be told our food was ready, and was ready almost the entire time and had just sat on the heated pass. Had to speak to 5x different crew members just to get the manager to finally come out of her office, and she still tried to offer us the cold food, and reluctantly issued us our refund. Absolute mess. This is the 2nd time in a week I’ve had poor service like this, the previous time I waited 30mins just to not even get served, and was walked past by 3x different crew members that served other people. When I asked if I could be served he told me to go and take a seat and just be patient.

The food was really nice but the serving was really small and the price was a little bit on the expensive side. The restaurant atmosphere was really good and the restaurant was clean.

Love this place and the atmosphere but don't like the questionable queueing for table. Wen I saw plenty of free tables but were dirty... But that downside. Upside.. Food great and come fairly quick.. Price wise is a bit on the expensive side and mate said afrikaans has same food.. But good thing about nando's is plenty of sauces on tap.. Lovely jubly

I would like to advise everyone to stay away from big franchises like this! Why ? Here is why, they are expensive, low quality, disrespectful!

Very helpful when it came to my partners allergens, great food as always

Loved the food, service, seating and atmosphere, will definitely go again and again

Disgusted today after seeing male staff at Nando’s near High Cross Leicester abuse and threaten women and traumatise very young children . No apologies given . No staff disciplined. Food was cold. Untrained staff. Will never go again

Yoghurt Machine wasn't working and seats were a bit dirty with food, they need to clean the place better. Food was good (standard Nando's).

They gave next to no customer service we ordered food for the whole family to find out when the food came they had no ketchup and a few other sauces . We got a refund wasted of time

The place had no air con and no open windows in what was a very hot day ... food was nice ...

Dorota is an outstanding representative for Nando’s. Extremely helpful and friendly with great customer service!

Sempre il top, sia a Leicester che altrove

went here 2 days ago and I now have food poisoning, don't go if you want to not have food poisoning

We always go to Nandos around the country so long as they are halal. The service in this Nando's was excellent, staff were extremely friendly checking in on the tables making sure everyone was okay. In terms of the food, it was delicious, very generous sized portions compared to London and overall tastier! We had the loaded fries for the first time, they were out of the world! Definitely one of the best Nando's I've ever visited!

Aisha the waitresses was rude. When she gave me and my partner our food she didn’t say anything and just gave it. Plus she forgot the sharing loaded chips. Before I could say anything she ran off, so I had to ask someone else for the chips but when they came they were cold. To make things worse when Aisha gave food to the table next to us, she asked, ‘is there anything else you need?’. Why does she pick and choose who she's polite to?
