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

I turned up for opening time which is displayed on the door and website for 11.30 to see some sort of meeting going on inside. No sign on the door to indicate restaurant was opening late. Staff left the restaurant telling us nothing and smirking. We decided to walk to after 15 minutes of waiting to be told that they weren't opening until 12 so we decided to go elsewhere. I thought it was utterly disgusting how no one notified us on what was happening. I have been to this restaurant twice before on opening time to wait 10-15 minutes before they let anyone in. Do better.

Lovely, Ngozi was very kind and helpful when we visited. Great food as always, we are always happy when we get takeaway and sit in

As expected, great food and lovely staff. 1st visit since the restauraunt moved to their new premises. Excellent all round !!

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

Have visited here on several occasions and have always been might impressed by food standards and staff friendliness. Have had issues with the drinks machines several times, but always another available.

The opening this week of the large new cinema complex on the old bus station site includes several large national food chains. The Nando’s branch in Old Town Street has closed and almost seamlessly a larger grander Nando’s has opened in the new complex.

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.

Visited on a Thursday evening, was seated quickly and ordered food soon after. Food was prompt and hot, very tasty - sometimes it can be hit and miss but this evening chicken etc was great, thank you.

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.

A large spacious restaurant in the centre of town, convenient. Typical Nandos lots of chicken dishes served by young staff. We dined on a Saturday lunchtime. The place was heaving. Due to its location, we will no doubt return

Dropped in for a quick lunch.. Very busy but seated and served a lot quicker than expected. Chicken shared platter was very good value for two people. Chicken was very tasty, hot and tender.

Podrían haber convertido fácilmente a un grupo de 8 a 22. 55 por la noche, pero el crédito para ellos la chica nos aceptó y pedimos inmediatamente. La comida llegó rápido y estaba deliciosa. Una visita muy rápida pero eso es exactamente lo que queríamos. Gracias al personal que fue muy servicial al final de la noche.

Food was lovely and came out quicker than expected. Would say it was overpriced for what we recieved and it wasnt very clear how we were meant to order our food. Overall very nice though.

Absolutely loved coming here after a long day visiting Plymouth. Staff were very friendly, I was treated fantastically. Always love a good Nando’s.

Tuvimos una comida maravillosa aquí. No había reservado pero sentado enseguida arriba. Una chica muy agradable nos mostró nuestra mesa. Maravilloso restaurante limpio también.

Great food at such a reasonable price. Quick service, tasty food. Nice environment, and attentive staff.

I hate writing this review because I am a huge Nando’s fan - I’ve been known to have three in a week. So naturally on a weekend away with a short amount of time before the train, Nando’s seemed the perfect place to eat.

Food arrived cold. Sent one chicken burger back, only to be returned cold AGAIN. Staff incompetent and not customer friendly. Very disappointed!

Visited the restaurant for the millionth time wanting to try something new, Rosie recommended the steak which shocked me as I was in a chicken restaurant however I went with it and it was amazing! She really made my visit, really lovely and chatty and great customer services!

Didn't have to wait too long for a table. The food was really good as always. Very good value, and very tasty food. Happily eat there all the time!

The food was wonderful and is usually very tasty but when it came to desert I found lots of pieces of paper in my raspberry cheesecake

We got a table despite it being a busy Friday night and got our food quickly. As with all Nando’s I can’t really comment on the service apart from them bringing out the but would say it was good.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the service fairly fast considering it was busy and the water is free. The half chicken was perfectly cooked, the creamy mash & garlic bread delicious.

Just eaten at Nando’s. Restaurant was busy which was fine but service was slow. It didn’t help that the 3 waiters/waitresses were stood around talking.

Even though they were busy we were able to get a table after a short wait. Did not have to wait too long for the food to arrive and when it did we it tasted great. A nice evening overall.

Food and service brilliant. And just wanted to say thank you as I did not see a single plastic straw anywhere on our visit. I hope they have been gotten rid of. As that's a great move.

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!

This was the first time we visited and we weren't disappointed. Service was super quick and the food was delicious. We will definitely visit again

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!

Came here with my friend and we both got chicken wraps yet there seemed to be barely any chicken... just lettuce. Both were the same so not just an error on one of our meals..

It’s rapidly becoming a tradition for 3 of us Cornishmen to visit Nando’s before every home match. It doesn’t help Plymouth Argyle to win, but at least we have one highlight of the day. Fantastic service and food. Regards from Table 23 regulars

Tasty chicken and unlimited refills. What more could you want. Oh and 20% NHS discount. Excellent! Friendly staff. Need more Peri Garlic sauce though.

Had one of the new specials (Fino Pitta) which was very tasty and came out very quickly. Very friendly staff...

As a student it's a very rare occurrence that I eat out. However, a friend's birthday is always a good...

Current passion in our family for well cooked chicken and on a weekend evening it was easier to come to...

Normally very satisfied when visiting Nandos at Barbican Leisure but we ordered a rare collection meal from this location by...

We turned up to have a family meal, there were 8 of us in total. We hadn't booked a table but the staff ensured there was somewhere available for us to sit. We had a fussy eater amongst the group but the restaurant staff were very accommodating to the request. We had a very nice meal and overall a very happy experience.

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.

Vine aquí con 6 amigos, todos ordenados al mismo tiempo. Se olvidaron de mi plato tuerca.

Most enjoyable hour spent. Not rushed at all to relinquish our table. Excellent service . The food was fast coming out. Looks nice and clean and the staff all clean and tidy. Certainly recommend for a lunchtime visit

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!!

Busy night as usual on a Nandos staff rushing around line of people offering their foodService was quick and the Chicken was delicious but with the place so busy difficult to relax and enjoy it

Went her with my brother the day after my birthday. Got a 1/4 chicken with chips which tastes pretty good. It was £7 so not too expensive. Probably gonna go here again, but only for special occasions.

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.

Fast, friendly and efficient. Nice food, great price, perfect for the children. They seemed busy but were polite and didn't feel rushed at any stage.

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!

Typical Nandos in a great location in the town centre. Quick and convenient, friendly staff and we would recommend.

Great atmosphere, great service, our food was served within 10 minutes of ordering which is amazing, and lovely food. Our food was very tasty and filling, not a scrap was left on the plates. Will definitely go again.

I'm a big Nando's fan, as is my partner. Every restaurant in the chain that I've visited has always impressed - food is always delicious, service is always on point, restaurants are always tidy and restrooms clean. We recently picked a takeaway order on our way home from our holiday and the experience was no different. Food is delicious, menu choices are great and continually improving, restaurants are clean, tidy with great music and atmosphere. Good old Nando's!

Great place to eat! Fantastic place to eat for people who like and dislike hot food! I would definitely recommend this!

Very friendly waiter and the service was good but the food was nothing special.Felt the prices were a little steep for what is essentially chicken and chips!!

Ate here recently with my partner for an early dinner we visit this place quite often always really good food as always, I went with a half chicken garlic bread and peri peri chips with hot spice was really enjoyable and tasty as always! 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?

We ate here on a very busy Saturday before seeing a band in town and I was surprised to be seated straight away but the service was very efficient. We placed our order and again the member of staff who took our order was really polite and helpful. The food arrive directly after we'd finished our olives and nuts. I am a big fan of Nandos and I wasn't disappointed as always it was great,really delicious.

Nando's is one of my favourite places to visit with my boyfriend. We visited yesterday and the food is amazing. Would definitely recommend Nando's. My boyfriend loves their creamy mash and livers, I love their butterfly burger with mango and lime sauce. Will be visiting again soon!!!

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.

Not having a Nando's in Cornwall, we had a day trip to Plymouth to spend a voucher given to me last Christmas before it ran out. We had a really excellent lunch. For anyone worried about vegetarian choices, I have to say worry not! There are quite a few options. The Portabello mushroom is one of our favourites. And the minty peas are delicious. Thank you

We visit Nando's all the time. We had a terrible Visit the first time We came, But it has since improved and the customer service is friendly. The feel of the restaurant is not One where you have a waitress so don't expect full on service. It's and order and get delivered place which I have no issue with as you know that's what your getting!

being in town this is an ideal location and food is amazing. i personally would always choose to eat in nandos if coming out with friends. i enjoy it LOADS. the service is always usually fun and quick also. food quality 10/10.. so tasty! its a loud fun atmosphere in here, the whole experience is enjoyable. YAY FOR NANDOS!

As a regular at many different Nando's I'll simply say that the staff are friendly. The place is spotlessly clean and the food is great.

We were seated really quickly. The staff were laid back and very friendly.My food arrived relatively quickly and was very yummy. I had a chicken wrap, chips and garlic bread- all lovely. My boyfriend had a good meal too, he got a butterfly burger. Portions were generous. Would recommend

It is a chain restaurant, but it is a great chain restaurant with excellent chicken dishes, with lots and lots of Peri-Peri.Great outside area as well.Excellent service, You could almost believe that you were in South Africa

Went in with a friend for evening meal, my friend had crutches & was told we had to go upstairs they had a lift..... So I thought not to bad until we had to walk past slippery kitchen floor which I was concerned for my friend..... Why have they no disabled seats downstairs !

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.

Purposefully looked for Nando's as you really can't go wrong with them normally. The place was filthy ...my feet were sticking to the floor (it was only lunch time) the table was so dirty and sticky too. The whole place is grubby and in need of a good deep clean! Yuk! Walked out as I couldn't possibly have eaten there.

Disappointed to say the least , the food wasn't up to its usual standard and the service was below par too won't be going back anytime soon

Our Nando experience was not a good one...took our grandchildren along for a treat when staying in Plymouth..none of us had a pleasant experience.The table we were given was filthy , we had to clean it and wipe it ourselves, , all around the floor was upset and discarded food, dropped and left by previous customers, the food was bland and tasteless , chicken was dry and tasted dull..we had to make our food tasty by adding some sauce !During our meal staff decided to brush the restaurant floor ...Fair to say this was one of the worst we have eaten in this wonderful city..Fair to say we will never never eat at any NANDOs again

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.

Have always been a fan of Nando's and living in Cornwall we don't get to have one very often. We popped in during our shopping trip and both really enjoyed our meals. We ordered 2 sides each and shared them all which is what we always do and it works well. Lovely food and reasonably priced.

I always love coming here they are always so smily and waiter service is very good!! I have been soo many times and if I could afford it I would go more!!!

We ate upstairs, not a problem BUT no cutlery upstairs .....all taken .....the pot that the forks was in was not the cleanest, so by the time I ordered food , got cutlery and left I had done 3 trips up and down .....so maybe not such a relaxing lunchIt would appear that people go to order their food before deciding what they want , there are loads of menus around so this should not happenSaying that we had an excellent meal just as we wold expect.The staff were good but need to check on cutlery etcDown side we had a child near us that screamed everytime he/she wanted something, think the parents were totally deaf to it, unfortunately the rest of us were not ! Would visit again

I've always been a fan of Nando's but on this occasion I was to be disappointedAlthough the service was friendly and quick the food lead a lot to be desiredThe 1/2 chicken if that's what you call it (the smallest 1/2 a chicken I've ever seen) was dry and tasteless the chips were soggy the only nice part of the meal was the Fino coleslaw Won't be rushing back to this or another Nando's

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.

I have visited lots of Nandos but this one is the best by far. The staff are great and the food is always good. Plus I have always managed to get seated straight away here. Worth a visit.

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.

Had the butterfly chicken, spicy rice and mucho peas and was absolutely delicious. Quite low in syns two for those that are following the slimming world plan! Great to be able to eat out and have a nice treat and not feel too synful!!

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.

Popped in for dinner with my son. Ordered butterfly chicken, corn and fries my son had the drumsticks.Only criticism was the skin wasn't crispy and my sons garlic bread was dry. Other than that perfectly acceptable.Good friendly speedy service.

Well worth a visit the food here is amazing i love spicy food and nando's really did it for me.. my mouth was on fire but the food was to delicious to leave behind!!

Plymouth Nando's is lovely, obviously you know what the food is like, it's the same anywhere. Don't go there if you don't like chicken however the service is polite and happy and the Resturant is sizeable and normally pretty easy to get a table. Try get there before 7am or after 9pm on weekends as there can be a waiting list of around 30mins. High quality food and service.

Visited Nando's here for the first time since moving to Cornwall, where there is no Nando's (I know, crazy); so was keen to get stuck in...Usual menu choices, typical decor and music going. This place is much smaller than other Nando's restaurants.The food was good quality and fresh as per always across the chain. The let down was the incorrect order....served a pitta rather than the wrap ordered.Staff did offer to change this, but quite rudely demanded to see the receipt first. Service not the friendliest in the chain. Manager completely blocked the exit talking to some staff on the way out; didn't seem to respond to "excuse me".Would eat here again of course, but would try the other Nando's in town first.
