Nando's in Eastleigh

I have to say I will never eat at Nandos again after eating here. They had no chicken breast (!) and no apology just a statement of fact. There was no atmosphere, it felt cold and dirty and the food was horrible. The manager was rude and we paid about £4.00 for a smoothie type drink which they got out of a carton and poured right infront of us. Also horrible.

Fab service and a buzzing atmosphere

Came on a Sunday evening. It wasn't too busy. We placed our order and after about 10mins we were told our food would take 15/20mins but whilst we waited they offered us a free starter which was very nice of them. The food was great as it always is. Great service.

Saturday early evening treat, butterfly chicken 🐔 medium, juicy, and tasted great! Really can't go wrong with Nandos!

to Day 13pm octobre. 29 th No more draft beer..... And...only ONE. Fresh bottle beer .... They forgot sweet corn for baby.. We. Two times asked sweet corn but.... So we left... JMLD.

Had only ever been to nandos once. Chicken was dry and awful. BUT……. My son wanted to go so we did. SO glad we did as food was 10/10. I tried my sons chicken thighs and they were so juicy. My burger was also moist. The service was fab. Got seated straight away and told how to order via app. Did so and drink come within 2 mins. Then out food was within ten mins - ( there were two adults and x3 children. ) The restaurant was super clean and tables cleaned as soon as people left. Could not fault anything. Even the toilets were clean. Staff also super polite and helpful. 💪🏻💪🏻 Would deffo return here.

Friendly staff, good food and cosy atmosphere. Smaller than most Nandos, but nice and clean.

Nice food , quick service , ashame when the restaurant is busy staff will only sell you a sauce as there isn't enough of the free bottles to go around . My 11 year old isn't going to want the super hot sauces , just wanted a mild one, but if I wanted some I'd need to buy them 🤷‍♀️

Wanted chicken thighs, but they had none. I ordered the full chicken, which was OK. However, the side of rice was dry & mainly all stuck together

Incredibly slow service, multiple incorrect orders and overworked, stressed staff causing a hectic atmosphere. Management doing the minimum to support their team, leading to irritation of guests and ridiculous wait times. We were told ‘all chicken comes with flavouring, plain isn’t really a thing’ so my nephew couldn’t eat any chicken from the menu due to dietary restrictions. We waited over 20 minutes for a small tub of pre-packaged ice cream that was so frozen it was literally impossible for my daughter to eat it without assistance. Really disappointing visit.

Despite ordering on the app, which took some time, the order was delivered promptly, and the staff were attentive and pleasant

Outstanding review for Emilie, We love coming to your branch in particular and do so everytime we go to Nando’s, your staff are 10/10 and are so lovely and accommodating especially when it comes to my mrs autism every time without fail and with having our 7 week old with us today in particular. Just insanely friendly, Emilie has made my birthday meal bloody brilliant today and me and my wife summer can not thank her enough she is so friendly and as my wife put it a very warm and kind energy which as far as the rest of the staff there is a perfect example of how all the ones we’ve interacted with through this past year have been also! Can’t wait for our next meal here🫶🏼

So disappointing. The size of the chicken leg was tiny. More coslow than actual chicken. Came here a few months ago and same thing. Not worth the money your better off going to the gunwarf brunch

Staff are friendly, check back done before I had taken a bite of my meal though, I had only just put the salt and sauce on my plate. I love the refurbishment, the restaurant looks much better now. Tables need cleaning as soon as customers leave, several rather grubby, and a mucky floor when we arrived unfortunately. I ordered a half chicken, a butterfly chicken breast, and 2 portions of chips, the gentleman taking my order asked if the chips were to share, I said they were. I was rather surprised to find all of the chips on my plate when the waitress (eventually) brought our food, hubby just had a lonely butterfly chicken on his plate lol. We popped in before a movie, had allowed an hour, as it used to take 30 minutes to order and eat, thought we would have plenty of time. Unfortunately, it took over 40 minutes to get our food, even though the restaurant was half empty. We ended up being 10 minutes late going into the cinema, very annoying. It’s very expensive now, over £45 for 2 portions of chicken, 2 portions of chips, and 2 drinks. Nice for a treat though. Had the service been better and the prices a bit lower I would have given 4*’s.

We came from London and have visited Nandos just now … the same taste but lovely and friendly staff has impressed us . what a lovely people … well done guys we will be back when ever we come to here

Food served cold for the second time we have come to Nando’s Eastleigh No teaspoons available for over 20 mins to eat the soft serve

My review is for Aaron - he served me with pure politeness and kindness and he knew I was in a rush and he did everything he could to make my experience awesome. Thank you so much Aaron. Served me Thursday 13th June at 20:00. Thanks Raj

Would appreciate it if they had Halal options

My son & I decided to visit on a Sunday afternoon. Although the place was busy we were found a table quickly. I decided to get the boneless platter for 2, my only disappointment was that there was one 'butterfly chicken' portion.

Clean your grill. There is nothing worse than food that has a taste of dirty grease. It’s easy to rectify, clean the grill more often. Disappointing

It's rare I write reviews and I had too here. Massive appreciation to Sarah our server, she was so lovely and went above and beyond. Such a sweet women. Great vegan food, could defo do with a few more options though 🌱♥️

Wow, this is the place to go to eat and to order your food from when you are at home with family. The people who work in Nando,s Eastleigh are all top people and work ever so hard. Their managers are so good at keeping the place going. One manager he named I had to find out is so helpful and very kind to all my friends and family his name is Curly. Well done to this person who keeps everyone going at work, and he makes sure all customers and suff are all happy when coming into this restaurant. Keep up the good work, everyone.

Really nice. Great service delicious food

Standard Nandos goodness! Smaller restaurant than my local ones but got a table after 20 mins so not bad at all. Forgot my haloumi side too!

Very pleasant welcome and overall service was good.

This was our first ever trip to Nando’s, food good, reasonably priced, not sure if we'd again? Don't know why, as nothing special.

Always come here a couple of times a month and have an amazing experience every time. Anthony who I normally see is super,so friendly and always happy to see us. He really dose go the extra mile for his customers honestly couldn't fault him. The food is always very yummy and comes out hot.

Staff are excellent very good service, food excellent as always from Nandos. The restaurant is slightly smaller than most hence giving four stars as needs to be abit bigger plus it's on two levels so have to be careful with buggies.

Great place for a break and have a nice meal and drinks served by helpful staff. The atmosphere was a bit dull on Tuesday lunch time but again this was the mid week syndrome I suppose.

Excellent food absolutely love it here and reasonably priced, gets quite busy

Just wanted to say Thank You to your front of house and server for table 2 this evening …. Hospitality as it’s meant to be done. Arrived approx 6:30 / thanks fellas 😊

Calvin (forgive me if I spell it wrong) was EXCELLENT, so nice, funny and friendly! Give this man a raise!!

A warm welcome, good food and good service.

First visit in this location , myself and family love to eat here kids enjoy the food and atmosphere , I have to say it's very clear and tidy, Staff's are so great and always checking in which was very nice , what was requested was given, felt welcome, decorating was nice to look at and take photos overall nice surroundings, very cosy, will be back again for sure. Thank you

I didn't really enjoy this experience here. Not lover of spicy food

Great service and good food. Would recommend.

Was served by Ed who was fantastic. Very attentive and friendly. Made the whole experience a great one. Food was great. Thank you.

You can't really beat a cheeky midweek nandos. You know what you are getting, good value fast service.

A fantastic establishment! Amazing staff

went on the 4th jan 2024, was served by the most lovely man, didn’t get his name, was working around 3:40pm, mid 20s, always makes our experience here good he’s just the nicest person and is a credit to the company, will obviously be coming back, we do love it

The customer service was really welcoming

Staff was rude and were trying to fob us off saying they don’t have any table … when we asked where is the manager ? They offered us a table … service was slow and disappointing

Come at least once a week food is lovely staff are all lovely

superb service with cheerful staff. perfect chicken wings highly recommended smoked churrasco. dessert is excellent, especially chocolate pudding with ice cream

Great food, was the usual top quality that you would expect from Nando’s. Could not fault any part of our visit. Great service and I would happily recommend to anyone thinking of a visit.

I’m updating my review based on my experience today. The team went out of their way to help me with my order. Thank you

Sat 2 dec 3:30 pm; no heating, everyone seated together [ for warmth?].....why? My Garlic Churrasco Thigh Burger sat on the hotplate for 5 mins while at staff walked past it at least 8 times....no other food on the hotplate. 27 mins from ordering to table in a more than half empty retaurant. When it came it was not two chicken thighs as advertised but two pieces of thigh meat; perhaps making one whole thigh. Disappointing experience for Nandos.....did not meet the minimum standard. V. poor customer experience. Did not not expect to be 'passed off' by such an established chain.

Nandos has become so ubiquitous on our high streets. But at all the ones I've been to they have been reliably predictable with their range of chicken offerings. With little tweaks over the years but largely the main dishes stay the same. You can customise the spice levels of the chicken itself when it grills to get that perfect kick and if you need that little more they offer a range of peri peri sauces ranging from a mild garlic one to some extreme levels. Personally I got a mild chicken wings with sides of chips and coleslaw. Then topped up with a healthy dose of medium spiced peri peri sauce. Chicken is tender with good levels of seasoning. Chips are your normal fries and a creamy crunchy coleslaw. Nothing special but certainly hits the spot on a cold autumnal day that can be spiced up with a little touch of the spicer sauce offerings.

The service was good and quick, but the food could be prepared better.

Great welcome. Really enjoyed the food.

Slightly hard to find if you don't know Eastleigh. Called early on a Monday evening so little atmosphere tbh.

Nice restaurant, always consistently good food and pretty fairly priced compared to some restaurants.

I never thought that nandos was this good until today. Easy 5 star review for them.👍

Staff was very helpful and friendly and food was quick and very tasty

If there were more stars I’d happily select! Service was outstanding. Being a manager myself in leisure, the service and the friendliness of team was perfect . This visit was exceptional and the standard were very high! Your team should be proud of the service they give:)

The worst Nando's I have ever been. There was something weird long and brown thing inside the mush potatoes the chicken was dry very very small piece, like a baby chicken probably.

Popped in here great service with a smile

Shout out to the little guy Gilber(?) that served us today at our table. Really nice service and worked so hard. 10/10 for passion - a credit to your business. Could not have asked for more - so credit where it’s due… thank you! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Well we came in again on Sunday just gone. The same guy was in there. I told him I left a review and he knew absolutely nothing about it. Any reason you don’t pass positive reviews like this back to the staff? 😳

Ordered online food was ready when I arrived 20 mins later just not the best qualiTY

I like good food and service. Nando’s for me is a bit like fast food in a restaurant atmosphere. The food seems healthier than fast food option (chicken grilled vs battered and fried for example) and as a spicy food fan, I love the range of “heat” options. I have young kids so for me, Nando’s also serves as a good restaurant-training ground for kids because they love the food and the place is very kid friendly…so that’s all true of this Nando’s in Eastleigh, but what’s exceptional in my view is the service. We’ve been several times and had great service every time from a wide range of servers and managers, so it’s maybe not fair to single any out, but we did catch one name, Curly. This Saturday Curly seated us and brought some of the food. With the open layout of the restaurant we could see him and others interacting with other diners and we were really impressed. This kind of efficient, pleasant, helpful service frankly is what I love and expect in a high end place. It’s really refreshing to see it here and will bring me and my family back. Well done and thank you Nandos…and Curly.

Our very favourite Nando’s branch. All the staff are very helpful and the food arrives promptly. Anthony, the Manager, is very approachable, friendly and efficient. His management style works very well at Eastleigh. It’s always a delight to eat there! Thank you to Anthony and his team for all their hard efforts - much appreciated!

Lovely restaurant. Service was friendly but not overbearing. Food well cooked and arrived quickly.

I would say one of the best Nando’s experiences I and my family had today with well experienced staff Sophia and her staff I would give them full stars very helpful and kind and smiling from table 17 All the best team here I wil love to see you’ll again thank you

Food was alright could be better could be worse, I got seated almost immediately so that was good no queueing, took about 20 mins to find the restaurant however as my girlfriend is useless at directions, after walking round the car park trying to locate said restaurant, we finally found it. Once inside and seated, I made my way up to the front till and was met by a colleague called “Joe”, Joe was delightful, and had quite a few ppl in front of me to serve first, (this lady had some issue with her order idk) so it took a while to get my food ordered, however once Joe got round to me he very was apologetic and sincere, getting food to me promptly. I just want Joe to get the recognition he deserves as a high quality member of staff

Can't really comment on the food,ordered a full meal to be delivered by deliveroo,only thing that turned up was nandos sauce,is it that difficult to place an order,put it together,check it and give to driver,clearly asking too much.Who manages these establishments,great customer service.

My first ever nandos Chicken sandwich was tiny Sauces were really nice but the food was not as good as I expected seen as everyone raves about it

Portions a little small, but tasted great. Halloumi for 2 to share was barely a starter for one. And why provide 5 pieces specifically on a sharer for two? 4 or 6 is just common sense, right? Service from all staff was excellent from walking in to walking out. Would return but would choose different items.

Went in on a bank holiday weekend and when seated the chairs were covered in dirt and sauces. Spoke to a manager and asked them to clean it and they denied my request. When I ordered my food using the sit and order was somehow the best part of this outrageous restaurant. My food arrived after almost an hour and was stone cold. I spoke to the same manager again (Kate) I believe her name was and complained about the temperature of my food. She denied it was the fault of the restaurant and stated that the food was hot when handed to me. The whole establishment should be ashamed of this store and while I was leaving all the employees were just stood around with orders on the screen talking about something called ops. Will never go here again and highly recommend that if you are looking for a good dining experience look for other establishments to go as this place is horrific and the prices they charge are criminal.

Always a nice time when we visit here, our last visit was made even better by the friendly and quick service. Food always tastes great, and they cater very well to our children, who both have peanut allergys.

Visited Nandos this evening and was greeted by such an enthusiastic member of staff called Curley. Considering it was the evening and his enthusiasm was still high, after I’m assuming a busy bank holiday shift-Amazing! You can tell he actually loved his job and made our experience even better!

I attended the Eastleigh branch at 2:50pm today and was told that I couldn't come in although people were eating and ordering takeaways because there was a delivery. I asked if I could at least order a take out and was told no by Annalise. I came back later on at 1830pm to get a takeaway and Annalise just looked at me and didn't ask if I needed any help at all. So I walked myself to the till. Usually there is an amazing manager here, the black guy who makes you feel welcome, polite and always smiling. This is not the reception we received today. Such a shame, her behaviour has really let the experience down. Saying that, Ella was exceptional took my order and was really helpful and courteous.

Great food. Helpful staff. Convenient parking which is free after 6 pm.

Every Time I been here, the service has been second to none. They work so hard to get the orders out within good time and they keep you updated . The food is always hot and well packaged. Nandos is my fav takeaway and the guys here do a great job! Well done, takeaway as it should be

YEAHHHH, me and my gang were there and ate fookin shikken. dat waz bloody tasty innit yeah! Not alot of stabbing yeah. God save the king yeah. Me and my blood gang mates represent yeah!

This place has gone downhill since we've started coming here as a family. Everytime we come something is wrong with our meal for example the chicken is cold or a product is sold out. But the staff our very good at trying to rectify the issue

Nandos Eastleigh.. Best Meal ever! It was Hot and very tasty 🤤😋

Friendly welcome, great food and fast service.

All good with food and atmosphere , also they have an extremely good and polite staff.

Atmosphere could of been more modern. But service was great.

Very good food, although I was a little surprised about the portion size. I was expecting a bit more. Great staff, very friendly.

The staff are absolutely fantastic!

Very very expensive. Some flavours got lost in the sauces, a bit too much when the meat, halloumi ect is cooked in the sauce. Tried very very hot sauce which was weird. Wouldn't crave the food. Great caramel cheesecake, salted caramel brownie and choc-a-lot cake. Good experience, lovely atmosphere (a bit cold 🥶) would come back but leave it a while and save money.

From my experience, I’ll definitely be coming again! Waiter was really friendly, the only negative part was that they didn’t have any still water but offered for me to choose any other soft drink with no extra charge! Food was all good, a waitress noticed that we didn’t have napkins and brought us some immediately. Lots of staff checking in on us. Our table was cleaned the moment we stood up to leave. Quick service, friendly staff, food was great! No complaints!

Lovely meal , waiter Fraser lines is a real attribute to the business and did his job with ease.

Dreadful experience on Saturday evening last night. Waited an hour to be served a quarter pigeon, beige slaw and f*cked potatoes. Never ever going back to this branch which seems to be run by clueless children

Nice food and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Very disappointed Went out for a lovely meal with me and my boyfriend. They couldnt seat us right away so told us they would text us when a table would be free and said probably 20 minutes(which was absolutely fine). 40 minutes later we came back still no text and asked and they said that they tried but it didn't work, we were eventually seated and ordered easily. The starts and main came fast and tasty and the waiters were lovely. Sadly the desserts never came we waited about 30 minutes before we asked a waiter and he said they had none left so they could give us a refund or some brownies. We asked for one portion of brownies since we were full and they said they could refund us. Neither happened the restaurant emptied out and we never got dessert. We left disappointed and with no refund. Overall, good food bad customer service

cold chicken wasn’t appetising at all !! service was good but food was awful !

nandos, first time I've been back in nearly 15 years! Eastleigh restaurant was a great place, friendly staff, quick service and great food. Thanks for a great evening staff. Awesome job.

Lovely staff food great very enjoyable evening 😀

It sells chicken, chips and broccoli stems which is a favourite 🙌

We shared fries and salad with two chicken pita. Good selection of oils and sauces. Extra hot, amazing.

Had butterfly chicken, wings, a burger, and some deserts. Everything was actually incredible. Best food we've had in England in the 6 days we were here. I cannot recommend enough.

Not much you can say as its a chain restaurant but this one is better than some of the others in Southampton. Loads of parking nearby. To be honest the whole area is a bit run as really suffered when the waterfront west Quay opened.

Great food, ready for time ordered, and maintaining good social distancing

Great service, I was surprised how quickly it came out considering it was fairly busy. Despite this the food was cooked perfectly and service with a smile and light conversation with the staff. I can't fault the relaxed service!

Good service and excellent food

Nandos like Nandos. Very nice and clean inside, prices like everywhere, kids friendly (colour books and crayons inside :) ). The only disadvantage was lack of vegetarian options or I haven't seen any.
