It was pretty good , the chicken thighs I had were tasty as well as the peri-salted chips I had. I also got a bottomless drink which was nice . The service was good and the waiters were friendly

Had a table at 1930, food arrived quickly and was okay. Problem came when an elderly gentleman came in, obviously known to the staff, he was eating left over food off of tables people had left, then came over to our table as we were still sat there, asked him to leave us alone as he was making us feel uncomfortable and he didn't leave, continued to ask him to leave and he didn't. We ended up leaving to get out of a very uncomfortable situation. The staff did nothing to remedy this, and just seemed to let him hang around. He was also being offensive towards women which made us more uncomfortable. Will not be returning to this nandos location

today on the 19Jun24 around 1600 was the worst customer sevice and food i have ever eaten.One girl was arguing with me and giving attitude. Telling me that they are never wrong with orders. We were going back and forth, to end and cut me off she as like can I help with anything else I said no and she walked off. The food was cold and everything. The staff was horrendous. I will never go back to Nando's in Barcode rude staff and tainty food! Please be aware. Managers need to look into the Nando’s in Barcode.

Picked Nando’s because theirs was the shortest wait at the moment of need. The food arrived within the time scale but even though we live less than a mile from the Barcode both meals were tepid. Disappointing and discouraging even after we tried to salvage some of our supper using the microwave. Won’t use Nando’s again. There must be a better way.

Payed full price for my ‘ half price meal’ when I told the workers they were very rude and said there was nothing they could do. Would not recommend very rude and arrogant. Manager wouldn’t even come over to apologise.

it's Nandos its okay, not bad not great, had worse had better, its chicken that's what I think mixed review like pineapple on a pizza. I think Nandos is a good place for a 1st date possibly but for me, its chicken and I'm a home cook, so slightly expensive i feel for what you get and buy

Firstly, the food as always was great from this branch. But what was amazing to see, was Catalina. The blonde waitress/server/cook/runner/superstar.She took my order. Then preceded to help the chef cook, plate the food, call the tickets away but run the food herself, do check backs, clear tables, and then continue to do so all with a smile on her face. When the first rush finished, she said, ‘good job everyone, your smashing it’.I believe you’re the one who’s smashing it mate.There should be a Catalina in every member of staff everywhere. The world needs more hard working, cheerful people in it.Thank you for a great lunch time visit Catalina, you made not only your teams day but ours too.

No había cenado en Nando en un año o más y como estaba fuera con algunos amigos, decidimos comer en este restaurante como un regalo.La joven que nos recibió en la puerta fue agradable y considerada cuando sugirió que comiéramos arriba, ya que era más tranquilo.Hicimos nuestro pedido y esperamos a que llegara nuestra deliciosa comida. Un joven agradable entregó nuestra comida y fue excepcionalmente servicial. Había un par de artículos nuevos en el menú desde nuestra última visita y comer queso halloumi dentro de una pitta, encima del pollo, fue genial, junto con los guisantes Macho. La comida siempre es deliciosa y el servicio fue muy bueno en esta rama.

We've always thought nandos was totally overrated, but thought I'd give it another shot after about 2 years of not going! We went on a very busy Saturday evening, and got a drink whilst we waited to be seated.The older lady at the counter who served us gave us a really nice welcome, and was very friendly and helpful. It seemed like she actually liked her job, usually I find they don't in these busy chains! We got a seat a lot quicker than we thought. To start we shared the red pepper dip and pitta, which was very average, the dip was just tasteless and sloshy, and I feel they could get better quality tasting pittas. Our main's were delicious! We shared a medium boneless platter, with the bean salad side, chips, halloumi sticks, coleslaw and garlic bread and everything was perfection! That's coming from a not so chicken fan as well! Would definitely return a lot sooner than another 2 years!

Visited here on a Saturday night with my fiancée. Haven’t been to a Nando’s for a few years so was looking forward to it. When I ordered, the guy advised that wait times were really long but to make it go a bit faster he would throw in a free starter - bonus! He also upgraded our medium sides to large! Thank you Lorenzo! You made our dining experience so much better! The food, when it arrived, was AMAZING! Gotta love a Nando’s!

There are always long queues to get seated at Nandos and the fact that I was with my elderly mother and small children, makes no difference. We were seated upstairs but there is a lift so it was slow but we managed and with prompting from my children were also given a few wax crayons.

Visited here a few times and never had a problem. The food is excellent and great value for money.The staff in this particular branch are really kind and attentive.On one occasion, when the waitress came over to check if everything was ok with our meals, my little boy was desperate to introduce her to his toy horse. Despite being incredibly busy, she took the time to acknowledge him and 5 minutes later she came back to our table with a little bowl of salad just in case his toy horse was hungry. What a lovely gesture from her. As you pay upfront, they're not expecting tips so are just being exceptionally kind.The only little gripe I have (which I understand is very hard for nandos staff to control) is the drinks situation. I'm not a big fan of soft drinks, I usually just have a half a glass of lemonade but as it's a pay once for unlimited refillable drinks I don't get value for money but as it's the way they operate, I always pay for the drink, knowing I'm going to have only half a glass, so on this afternoons visit I was a little annoyed that the family of 5 sat on the next table had purchased 2 glasses between them to drink share!! They were passing the glasses round in a circle and kept getting up for refills in view of everyone then were complaining to a waiter that they'd been waiting 20 minutes for their meal. It's not fast food and the staff really do their best. I'm more than happy to wait 20 minutes for a lovely meal served by happy caring staff but I guess some people just take advantage.Well done to the staff, you're a credit to your employers!!

Nando's is usually was considered an easy option for pre-theatre food for our group of 8, the experience was not as slick as we had all hoped. Although we booked, we still had to wait at the door for staff to work through a queue of non-booked customers. After 10 mins we were given a table and then had to queue again to order our food - another 10 mins. Our food arrived not too long after ordering, but chips were cold and chicken was fresh - as if they had been waiting for the chicken after serving the remainder of the plates. That said the food was tasty and what we expected of Nando's. One small issue which resulted in one of our group having their meal exchanged was that most of the vinegar lids were loose and and when used poured excessively over the plate! Nobody wants their food swimming in vinegar!!All in all, not as slick as we would have liked and previous Nando's experiences elsewhere have been great. Do not let this review put you off, but we would probably look at an alternate restaurant next time.

I came here with family before Christmas for lunch after some shopping. It's in a good location, just outside Drake Circus shopping centre. We were seated straight away and were left to look at the menu's. As it was our first time, we didn't know how hot it would be so we decided on mild chicken burgers and then we could add our own hot sauce if we wanted.We each had a chicken burger and shared garlic bread and chips. The garlic bread was chewy and didn't taste of garlic, in fact I think it was reheated. The chips were just standard chips. The burgers were just very bland, I know we ordered mild but we expected a little bit of flavour. The staff don't interact with customers and we weren't told we had to order it ourselves so we sat there for a good 10 minutes until we realised from watching other customers what we had to do! I don't understand the hype this place has as it really is just an average tasting meal with an expensive bill!

My girlfriend was gutted that the churrasco thigh burger was removed as that was her favourite meal but she had the sunset burger instead which was really nice but she wasn't a fan of the sweet bun and sweet sauce it was served with, but she said she would order it again just not as good as the old burger!

We went with my partner's student son, Julian, since this is his favourite restaurant!!!! We were "greeted at the door and shown to a table upstairs. We sat and waited, and waited and waited. No-one had explained to me that we had to walk downstairs to order. I noticed that there was a "sharing" choice of a Spatchcock Chicken + 4x Thighs + 4 Side Orders and ordered this for the 3 of us. 2 co-joined chicken breasts + 4 thighs arrived. Where were the wings, the drumsticks? This was 2x Chicken Breasts NOT a Spatchcock (see pic below). The chicken was overcooked and very dry. The garlic bread was part raw and part burned. The rice was cold. Why on Earth do so many frequent this terrible restaurant?

First time in Nandos and the food is okay, however I am saddened by the fact they left my food off our order. So my food didn't arrive at the same time as the rest. We had to wait until my food eventually arrived and the staff didn't seem all that bothered about it. However they did apologise. The restaurant was also quite cold, and considering its a cold time of year, you'd expect it to be warmer than not being able to feel your fingers.I would be wary of coming to this particular nandos restaurant.I hope others don't have the same experience. It's not pleasant.

Visiting Plymouth on a Friday night we stumbled across Nando's and found that it wasn't very busy (alarm bells should be ringing now). We are not regular Nando's visitors and it was our first time for a while. As such, when we were shown to our table by a young lady (who gave us a menu and no further instructions whatsoever) we were not sure what to do next. A couple of young lads sat down next to us so we asked them what to do as the "waiting staff" appeared to prefer standing around chatting to each other and there was even one talking on his mobile phone when we walked in. As two thirtysomethings we are probably considered "past it" by the staff here, certainly we were the oldest people in the restaurant, but this is no excuse. Disgraceful service. Food was ok, but this experience has ensured we never visit a Nando's again anywhere.

This is a place to visit because you're in need of some food that is consistent and not going to break the bank. It's not a place I would visit for an occasion or special treat - merely because I was hungryI like the themed decor - service is fairly quick - food is mostly healthy and you can manage it in your lunch break. There is a drink station - cold iced water on tap - if you pay for a coke, fanta etc you can refill for free.

Two of us visited in the early evening (6pm-ish) and got seated immediately and served quickly.Having visited my fair share of Nando's restaurants, the service was the friendly and efficient standard I've come to expect from Nando's staff. Our server informed us of the one item they were out of, asked whether a substitute was acceptable, and was happy to answer questions relating to dietary requirements. For a chicken restaurant, the vegetarian choice is surprisingly good!The food was great - you tend to know what you're getting with Nando's, with particular compliments for the 'supergrain' now available as a side, and the salted caramel brownie. My boyfriend still remains convinced, however, that the 'extra hot' option isn't that hot.My only real gripe was as the restaurant became full, there wasn't really enough room for those people waiting for a table within the restaurant's slightly cramped layout, and I was bashed by bags, and my chair accidentally kicked, by people meandering around trying to find somewhere to sit/stand as they waited.

Seated quickly which was good as there can be a lengthy wait if you time it wrong. Waitress was nice & polite as were all the staff who dealt with us. Food was OK, tasty and pretty hot. It just lacks that something that would improve my rating. It really is OK, average, mediocre. But that's Nando's, We were full & left happy. For a quick no frills tasty meal and if you don't expect the world then it's fine.

This is not so much a review of the Nandos we visited in Plymouth but,more a review of the menu set by the company. This was our 1st ever visit to Nandos so, we were quite excited in our anticipation. The 1st thing we noticed was the lack of choice. This was a big surprise as we expected a restaurant that serves mainly chicken, to have a selection of chicken dishes. However, on reading the menu, the chicken can be served any way as long as it's Peri Peri. After agonising over the multitude of choice we decided on butterflied chicken breast with a medium heat. The meal matched the description but, was un-inspiring and the chicken was dry. For the price it was very disappointing. The only positive was the service offered by our waitress, hence the 2nd star. Needless to say, we will not be visiting Nandos again!!

As a family we normally enjoy a Nandos on the odd occasion but have to say that this particular restaurant was a less pleasant experience. The restaurant was grubby and greasy and the staff coolly polite but disinterested. We were shown to our table upstairs and just left to get on with it, not having been asked if this was our first visit! The food itself was standard Nandos but the "mild" chicken which my daughter ordered was spicy! Not sure that we'll return. Sadly disappointing.

Never used Nandos before. But we needed to eat at around 5 on a Sunday evening and nandos was handy. Meals 5 wings. Butterfly Chicken. Veggie burger. With sides. Around 19 quid. My veggie burger was with hot sauce and it was good. Chip portion a bit stingy I thought. Wings, salad and corn all eaten. As was the butterfly chicken with soicyvrice and corn. No complaints from us. Will use again.

Je ne connaissais absolument pas cette chaîne de restauration, l'ambiance est agréable, personnel très sympathique et arrangeant. La carte n'ai pas dès plus facile à comprendre cependant la nouvelle nourriture est d'un très bon rapport qualité prix. Pour les amateurs de poulet je recommande vivement !

Went to Nando's for lunch and was pleased to see that they have added some new items to their menu. I went for the Mediterranean salad with chicken and I have to say, it was delicious. I had a plate full of mixed leaves, sun dried peri peri tomatoes, olives and feta cheese with the chicken breast on top. It is good to have a decent salad available for those that do not want to eat chips with everything. Friendly, helpful staff also added to an enjoyable lunch.

First off, I love Nandos. It's one of my favourite chains. What's better than a bit of spicy chicken with a kick'in. But I couldn't help but feel like my most recent visit was a disappointment compared to my past visits.Now, I'd also like to say the staff were fantastic. They were high spirited, approachable and down right social. (Giving us customers that service with a smile so keep it up guys you're doing great.)The only disappointment was down to the restaurants ingredient levels. The vegetarian options for my girlfriend's choice were completely limited to one option as the other two items were completely diminished. Also we waited 20 minutes for a dessert after again; the first choices being unavailable.I understand restaurants get busy patches. But at the time we visited, things should have been merely warming up. I will probably revisit at some point as my estranged entanglement and love for piripiri chicken is unrelentingly strong. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that the experience has put me off visiting for at least a little while longer than my usual visits.

Went on the bank holiday Monday was a little busy but the staff were on it & quite friendly! Food was good as usual & although busy you weren't waiting for long for your food to arrive! Have been here before & I would go again! Well done!

I initially thought this restaurant is smaller than other nandos I've been to but it has second storey so it's not small at all. Food was as good as usual and staff was very friendly.

Visited Nando's on a Sunday (Bank Holiday weekend). Very busy but staff were prompt and made us aware a 15 minute wait for a table. Very helpful and explained everything (we have been before). Ordered our food and quite a long wait for it to come but refillable (self service) soft drinks eases this a little. Food was lovely (we only had mains) and service fine. Prices are "normal" for Nando's and it's not the cheapest but you are paying for the name. Toilets clean and tidy. All in all very good.

Husband recently took me to Nandos for the first time for lunch and we were very pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

We popped into Nando's at the request of my 10 year old son, who has been going on about visiting the place for the best part of a year now. Having never been ourselves, we did try to warn him that it may not live up to expectations - how right we were...PLUS POINTSThe place was clean and smart, and the staff were helpful and friendly. The food itself was well cooked.MINUS POINTSWhilst having been cooked nicely, we found the food uninspiring and portion sizes were disappointing. The side dishes were very pedestrian, and not exactly plentiful. Despite spending the best part of £40 on the meal (which, when analysed, amounted to little more than chicken, chips and peas) , we still left feeling hungry and had to supplement our meal with snacks from other shops. SUMMARYWe kind of got the impression that Nando's is a place for people who have been brought up on MacDonalds and Burger King, but now feel that they need to move on to a more "Grown Up" restaurant. I would say that the vast majority of places I have dined at (and reviewed) provided a dining experience superior to this one. In my opinion when you leave a restaurant you should either feel pleasantly full, or at least want to tell people about the dish (or dishes) you have just eaten. Neither was true in this case - we weren't full, and felt that we could cook more exciting food ourselves at home. To add insult to injury, we had to pay through the nose for the experience. You are very definitely paying for the name.

This is a popular casual place to eat. The chicken, their specialty, was very good. We were greeted when we entered and given a quick explanation on the set-up.

Nandos is what it is. It's a chain restaurant that serves reasonably priced and reasonably spiced chicken. The nationwide sensation is not one that I can get overly behind (some people think Nandos is the height of dining), but for a quick meal with a friend it has its merits. Today I had what I always have - 1/2 chicken (extra hot), peri salt chips, garlic bread, perinaise, bottomless soft drink and extra-extra hot sauce on the side. All for about £13. With loyalty points.It is what it is. And I will return.

I didn't have high expectations of this restaurant but the standard was pretty poor. My friends and I ordered our food within minutes of each other but the food the time different between the first meal and the last meal being brought out was over 20 minutes. Considering they are sat under heat lamps you'd think they'd manage to sort the timings out. The food was decent but nothing special. The desserts were really nice but only one of our group got cream with their dessert as apparently 'that was all they had left in the building'. The restaurant is also so cold I had to put my coat back on. Finally, our plates were never collected at all so we had to eat our desserts with our main course plates still piled up around us. Pretty disappointed with the visit.

Having eaten lunch here a few times, the food is always freshly prepared, well presented and very tasty. The restaurant is spacious with interesting decor. Members of staff are friendly and helpful. I especially recommend the salads.

Cold restaurant, dirty tables, suspicious chicken, dirty toilets. Don't go to this Nando's.Nothing else to say.

I like Nando's. Show me a dead chicken, and I'll show you a smile. Normally, I get my fix in Exeter - but when in deepest Plymouth, I plunge into their Nando's for a cheeky nibble. Now, I have to tell you - the guys and gals at this branch are mini Gods. Fantastic standards. Cheery and efficient staff. One kindly sought out our sauces. And the 'Greeter' had the good manners to be a mind reader, as he showed us to the booth we'd been eyeing up. And - don't tell anyone in the Exeter branch - but they chuck out a slightly better bit of dead bird. Mini Gods, indeed.

Donner kebab was decent but the shish kebab..I went for regular but was not expecting just 5 pieces of chewy meat. 8 pound for 5 small pieces of meat is ridiculous.

Restaurant can get quite busy, great service. Food good with different spice options to fit all tastebuds. Felt restaurant was slightly cold atmosphere which could’ve been warmer. Food well-presented. Unlimited drinks which is a bonus. Easy to find eatery in the new barcode complex.

Billie has been the best server, she looked after our table of 7 perfectly. She deserves a raise or a nice Christmas bonus 😉 Thankyou billie!!!!
