Feedback on Recent Dining Experience. I am writing to express my disappointment with the service my family and I received during our recent visit to this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience fell well below the standard we had anticipated. We placed an order for a family of four, but the visit was far from satisfactory. Initially, only one adult meal and a portion of chips for the children were served. The garlic bread, side orders, and the second adult meal were missing. By the time the rest of our order was still outstanding, my partner had nearly finished her meal, and the children had eaten all their chips, then had to order more so that they were not sitting with nothing. I approached the staff three times to inquire about the missing items. The response I received from the manager, Thanos, was highly unsatisfactory. He explained that other orders, including takeaways, were causing delays. I pointed out that prioritizing dine-in customers, especially when their orders were incomplete, should take precedence over takeaway orders. However, his response lacked urgency or concern, and he simply walked away after stating he would "watch for it." After waiting for an additional five minutes with no progress, I requested a refund for the items that had not been delivered, which was processed. I would like to acknowledge and thank two staff members, Lee and Daryl, who were empathetic and offered cake and complimentary ice cream for the children to help mitigate the situation. Their efforts were appreciated and made a poor experience slightly better. However, despite their kindness, the overall service was disappointing. We left the restaurant dissatisfied, and I regret to say that we will not be returning. I hope that this feedback is taken seriously and that improvements are made, particularly in terms of managing and prioritizing orders and delivering a higher standard of customer service.

Me and my friends walked in as the lady approached us and said “what age are you” my friend says 14 and I say 13 (the truth) she then says we can’t sit as there not licensed for it as they sell alcohol. So what your telling me is a 14yo can be sold drink?! I’m upset and very disappointed. We told the lady we were there last week and she says we’ll you shouldn’t have been.

Second time here, and not disappointed again. Food was really good, much better than the Nandos in StEnoch Glasgow, and East Kilbride. Staff were really good. Ordered via the app, and were told that my half chicken would be delayed by about 20 minutes, but they gave us a complimentary order of garlic bread. Food arrived quickly, less time than the non delayed one in St Enoch's! We both loved the food. Two meals were delicious. One thing that we liked was they now have individual sachets of peri peri salt so you can add it to your chips. Why the 4 stars? Well when I opened my menu it had a lot of sauce on it from a previous customer, and the table was very shoogly. Never mind, will definitely be back to Hamilton Nandos. Great food, lovely staff, and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

First time visiting any Nandos restaurant and given my experience of this place it will be the last. decor looks dated and was filthy of dirt and dust. Went to collect cutlery which this was all still dirty. Ordered double chicken burger. Chicken itself was OK but the bun was awful. I could have thrown it at window and it would have smashed window easily it was rock hard. very disappointed given the reputation of the place.

Travelled through here as we were going to the cinema, but I wish I hadn't entered the restaurant, seemed friendly at first but when I got up to order I was pretty much on the strangers lap next to me the tables where that close! Ordered our food which came to £50 odd for 3 people and told a 20min wait for half a chicken to be cooked which is completely fine but then asked a staff member if it was possible to be moved as we where to squashed in at our table as there was obvious booths free to which she replied there's a que system and people are waiting for them and offered me the same table I already had but on the opposite side of the bench which is just stupid. I atleast expected her to try a little to accommodate us and if say another seat came free to try move us but she was not any help whatsoever so end of that.. then waited over 40mins for food, two of our dishes sat on the hot plate for atleast 15+ mins and I then watched them be reheated but was still barely warm when i received it.. just absolute joke service and will not be back!

Went here with my girlfriend, friend and her 5 year old son. We were quickly seated by a friendly face and quickly decided what we were eating. My friend and I went up to order and it wasn't any problem that we were ordering separately. Our food came pretty quickly and it was all as we ordered and was nice as usual.

Visited last night with a relative from the USA. I was looking forward to treating them to their first Nandos however it’s sadly not as good as it used to be. The staff were friendly and helpful but the restaurant was freezing & the food took 30 mins to arrive. When the food came the mash potatoes were hard and the pita had barely any sauce. My dads chips were cold and my salted-peri chips didn’t even have any seasoning. Lastly, my dad had paid for a cappuccino which never came so we had to ask the waitress. Overall a disappointing experience after me hyping up Nandos

What a disappointment, we were seated next to the toilets at first in a far from full restaurant, when we asked if we could have a booth we were told they were for larger groups, so we took a small table, then a single guy was seated at one booth and two guys were seated in another. I wouldn't have cared but there were lots spare and stayed spare whilst we were in there.Any way after standing in a queue for 10 minutes we ordered our food, we waited and waited and after 40 minutes and a complaint from us and several other dinners also waiting, our food arrived.Well, my corn on the cob was black in places and very overcooked, the chicken breast in a bun was very over cooked and the bun was stale. The chips were the best part of the meal but I've had way better in any works canteen.I wasn't asked how my meal was, I had to stop a passing waiter or was he possibly management, not sure, but he was very apologetic and He said that they were short staffed with staff off ill. He replaced the corn on the cob and gave us some voucher for free something that could only be redeemed at that restaurant. We left the vouchers. I was possibly the oldest person in there , but are the younger generation happy to accept very poor quality food and pay a stupid amount for the privelidge, they are welcome to it.I will show them, I won't be back.Sorry for the rant

Visited tonight after a couple of years, what has happened to Nando's?Start of the meal ok, ordered and starters arrived, although choice of starters limited due to most being 'sold out'. Unfortunately the main course also arrived 4 minutes after the starter and the 'guy' seemed a bit perturbed when it was sent back. Starter finished and main brought back - Cold! Took back to the kitchen, not refired but appeared to have been reheated in a microwave. No apologies and to be frank, Nando's seem to have become complaicant with regards to customer service and dealing with service shortcomings.Probably won't be back, but I guess Nando's will not be bothered.

When I announced my Daughter had a dairy allergy we were attended to with the utmost care which is unusual and unexpected! We had a fabulous visit and felt well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff really made our visit memorable. The food tasted great and it's nice being able to see it's all freshly made. I often regard Nando's as a fast food restaurant however this felt like a special dining experience and we will definitely be back again soon!

I’m not the greatest fan of Nando’s, but it’s basically fast food, with a restaurant feel. It does frustrate me that you’re expected to go up to the counter to order and pay. Ordered a small can of Pale Ale £4.25, I feel that’s excessive, I’ll probably only visit when I fancy some fried chicken where the restaurant can state where they source their chicken, which to their credit Nando’s can...

Stopped by Nando's Hamilton on the way back from picking my sister up from work for a takeaway. Was told about 10 mins when we placed the order until it would be ready. 20 mins later I looked over and saw what looked like my order being place in the box for takeaway. A further 10 mins after that they finally brought us our food for it to be cold to the touch. Not impressed. When we mentioned this they put it back on the grill for 30 seconds as if this would make it hot again. Got home less than 5 mins later to have to put the lot in the microwave

We visited Nandos last Thursday because it was handy for visiting the cinema. One of our party of six is gluten intollerant. I asked the person at the till if the starter was and what meal was suitable. He went and spoke to a female in a lilac shirt who obviously told him to look up the manual. He was eventually able to help us but on a recent visit to Clydebank we were told every gluten free order had to be signed off at the till by the manager to double check this was put through correctly. This didnt happen but the foor arrived and was ok. Our party had to ask someone to clear our table as we were expecting our sweet to arrive. After 15 minutes we asked for a refund on the sweet as we could not wait any longer. It was only a case of removing tarts and brownies from a display but as there was no sign of this happening we were going to be late for the cinema. We did get a refund but will certainly not be returning to this Nandos. One hour and 45 minutes for a shared starter and a main course seems a bit long.

My daughter, her boyfriend and myself stopped off at this branch of Nandos. We asked for a table for 3 and were told we'd have to wait for 15 minutes as there were no tables available. We went to sit in the seating area and my daughter noticed a table for 4 (table 5)was empty and clear. She went to the girl and asked about the table and was told we couldn't have it as there were other customers to be seated before us. The girl came over to the seating area and took a party of 3 away but sat them in another part of the restaurant. The rest of the people sitting in the seating area were all tables for 2. We waited as all of these couples were given their tables. We waited for about 15 minutes as we were told we'd have to wait and lo and behold she shouted us and escorted us to.....table 5!!!! Just what point was she trying to make???? I'd have thought that a busy restaurant like that would be glad to get you to a table and seated asap not refuse you the table you enquire about, make you wait 15 minutes and then eventually give you it anyway.!!! Not impressed. The food was fine and the other lady who served us was very nice. Before I left I visited the ladies toilets and they were very untidy. A few puddles on the floor, bits of toilet paper scattered around and one or two of the toilet roll holders lying open. I went into one cubicle and as I was leaving noticed the toilet brush was in a disgusting state. Health hazard! It didnt take one day to get in that mess!!! It costs about 60p in B&M; or Home Bargains for a cheap but clean toilet brush and Nandos I reccomend you need to change your toilet brushes a lot more frequently than you do!

Organizó un grupo de 11 niños y 2 adultos a visitar Nando en Hamilton como parte de un final de la Escuela Primaria regalo para nuestros niños P7. Reserva en 15 de mayo para 13 personas para cenar el 19 de junio y llamó el viernes 16 de junio para revisar que todo estaba en orden y adivinen qué no nota de cualquier reserva! Mensaje a la izquierda con el director en contacto conmigo y después de esperar casi cinco horas (escuela secundaria de salida a las 15:00 horas) tuve que llamar de vuelta a las 15:20 para hablar con el gerente. Reserva ahora se ordenan. Le dije que estaría pagando con el registro dijo que necesitaba para buscar dentro de esta. Me llamó hoy (lunes) a las 11. 15:00 a decir hora no serán aceptadas.

Just doesnt live up to other branches, Nando's is a little overrated in general (and overpriced) but nevertheless the service tends to be great and the food tasty. The staff in this branch are pleasant but a little disinterested and the food always seems to be very dry. My order came out wrong and my corn on the cob was horrendously burnt, also the pittas seem to have got much smaller and everyone could barely keep their from falling apart, chips were very overcooked also. Not horrendous but not great either.

I've never been to Nandos before so had no expectations. Firstly, didn't know it was semi-self service. Once I'd understood that the rest was straightforward. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. The portion size was about right. The prices were appropriate. The only real downside was the group along from us making a lot of noise, but hey it was Saturday night. Would I go back?, yes! But not for a date night. Not special enough for that.

Nipped in here after the cinema as it's really handy! Food was good although for the third time being in a nandos the order was wrong! I ate what I got and it was fine! My missus is a veggie and they didn't have the option she wanted so ended up with a defrosted soggy piece of soya stuff! To be fair vegetarians get treated badly in most places so she is used to it.... shameful as it is! Staff are friendly and work hard I reckon!

Let's face it - we don't go to Nando's for "fine dining" but do do expect it to be clean, especially when you are dining with your children.Yesterday the food preparation area in view to the public was frankly disgusting. Food all over the floor, half drunk and empty costa coffee cups all strewn next to the till area also added to the overall grotty impression.There is no excuse for this as the restaurant wasn't even too busy - staff members were too busy chatting to their friends who had came in to visit, than sweeping up the mess. It feels as if its run as a social club for the mostly teenage staff.When the food did arrive - the order was wrong.This branch could be fab - with better management!

I usually don't rate places like this as you get mostly the same food in any of franchise albeit nice food and very enjoyable but you know what you are getting!Nandos in Hamilton excelled in itself by the service from a wonderful girl called Tyler. My wife called to book a table over the phone and she was greeted on the phone by Tyler who couldn't have been any more accommodating. When arriving at the restaurant the service did not stop there by this same individual. Tyler was working the main greeting area where her customer service skills were excelled. My wife is 9 months pregnant. Tyler got my wife a Cushion for her back and kept insisting to get her cutlery/utensils etc and had a general great attitude towards all customers.This was truly above and beyond our expectations during a family night out to nandos.

A different format here. Pick your food, order at the bar. Almost exclusively chicken in various degrees of hotness.We took advice and ordered what we thought would fit the bill. Turned out disappointingly small for the price. The chicken was overlooked and dry - overall an expensive and unappetising meal. I left wishing we'd gone somewhere else.

Nandos is quite popular in our family, despite me being a little sceptical to begin with, it soon changed my opinion. I met my mum here for a girly catch up recently. The food was very tasty. However the service was poor, despite many aspects being self service such as queuing up to order at a bar and getting you own drinks. Many tables needed clearing despite there being a large queue of customers waiting for tables. A few members of staff were stood talking instead of attending this issue. When our food came, our starters and our mains were brought at the same time, instead of as a first and second course as we would normally expect, which was no real issue, however our order was incorrect, we explained this to the server who given his due did return to the kitchen to correct this, however we received no apology. We did thoroughly enjoy the meal though. When we asked for the bill, it took a while to come which we let slip as you could see it was a busy time for the restaurant, however when the server came with our bill we felt a bit of an inconvenience and as if they couldn't be bothered. we would probably return here as the food was good, although quite limited selection, and we would give the staff the benefit of the doubt that this was just a bad day.

Visited today with 2 others . All deciding on salads . I opted for the chicken Caesar salad , delicious ! 2 others also remarked on how fresh and tasty their chicken quinoa salads were. Helpful staff explaining the ingredients on one of their dishes . Seemed no time from ordering until food was served .

Well visited here late lunch and when we arrived we were showing to our table the guy that served us think he could be the manager was unsure but her was really polite and friendly, we were served at 15mins past and our food never arrived until 45mins past and the restaurant was not even busy but there were hardly any staff on so we were unsure why we waited so long never even get a sorry for waiting. Noticed a group of staff sitting the table booth at the back so customers are suppose to come first, overall the food was good but the service was so slow on this visit

Easy, quick, fresh food! Great to see servers smiling when serving food and taking orders. Good atmosphere, I like the booth set up making it easy to have conversations in big groups. I'd happily eat here again.

Decided to give this place a go due to the Nhs discount that is offered. 20% discount sounds good until the manager informed me it's up to a maximum of £4.00 off the bill. Misleading and false advertising. Disappointed and wouldn't recommend. Food ok.

Walk in, no reservation, post cinema outing.Ordered the no bones sharing platter, with 4 small sides.Did exactly as it said on the tin!Free water/soft drink top up's is a nice (Americanised) gesture.Nothing really to complain about, nothing really to rave about.

Visited Nandos today around 1pm when walking in was not that busy was asked by a man who i think was the manager of the restaurant ( how i was etc ) have you been to nandos before etc, been polite, sat down at table 5 just next to the door.Was handed 2 menus ( the original one ) and a lunch time menu. Went to the counter and was served by this friendly and cheery lad, said the meal would be around about 15mins. sitting at the table thinking this place should get free wifi would attract more customers in the future.The meal arrived within 8-10 mins and the meal was lovely , was nippy but ideal after 2 months of not eating at nandos, well the meal was lovely and thank you to the girl called Sandra very friendly and always smiling, but very polite. will be back soon...

My wife and son have been using Nando's on and off since it has opened and rave about it especially my 17 year old son. Decided to try it out and a have a bite to eat before popping into to see the new Bond movie in the Vue Cinema next door.Restaurant was very busy and was advised to come back in 15 minutes or sit and wait by a very pleasant waitress at the front door and guaranteed us a table. Popped out for the cinema tickets and after a five minute wait on our return was escorted to a clean table. As we were handed the Menu , was told there was no Chicken Wings and Drumsticks. There was also no chilli jam my son much talked about for the wraps. So you can imagine we were pretty disappointed a chicken based restaurant with a lack of Chicken !Opted for the half chicken with chilli chips and a portion of kind a chilli processed peas. Service was friendly enough but felt we had to wait slightly too long for our food as it basically was only chicken and chips. Chicken was very dry with a hard skin and was expecting far better succulent chicken. To be honest tasted better in a KFC. My son and wife opted for the wraps and enjoyed their meal.Decided to have a sweet due to a disappointing chicken meal and again was informed two of the Sweets were off the menu. Spending the best part of fifty pounds was expecting better. A shame really as the young staff were friendly and enthusiastic. No doubt my wife and son will be back but I certainly will not be.

For sharing?Your having a giraffe, 1 single Chicken breast and 4 Thighs. More expensive than other platters that you really can share between 2.Come on Nando's this is a rip off, you must strive to do better, there are other places to eat.This place used to be my favourite, not now.Will be returning but not for that dish. And not for some time.

Went in there with my wife one midweek afternoon. To be fair it was a bit busy, but not overly so why wait half an hour for our order? Anyway the food arrived and full marks to the waiter. He was very pleasant but no aplogies for the long wait( he probably never knew himself). The food was average but nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary, just grilled chicken on a bun with chips and salad. The checkout girl asked us to try the spices to put on the chips, but alas they did not materialise with our order. Im trying not to be too critical here as the decor and the ambiance seem nice. It is for that reason that I am not going to make a fairly long wait put me off, and yes I would probably go back if I was in the area, but wont be making special arrangements to go there.

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night with my wife and daughter (2). We were seated quickly and after we complained about a draft from the aircon this was swiftly turned off.The staff here are always nice and friendly and happy to help.We ordered the humus and chicken wings for starters. For main we ordered the boneless platter for 2 with fries and corn on the cob and a portion of sweet potato wedges. For dessert we had the chocolate cheese cake.The food was tasty and well cooked. My little girl loves the food here. And as a member of the NHS, my wife gets a 20% discount on our food bill.

My son and his friends were refused entrance because they were 13 yrs old and not 14 yrs . I telephoned and spoke to manager who said it was to do with the license laws . You still can't drink at 14 yrs old so god knows we're these rules come from . However kids did get refused , but least the kids were honest and told the truth which is better than anything .

Nandos is Nandos is Nandos, as you might expect from such a well travelled franchise. Nandos in Hamilton, just south of Glasgow is I fear, just a little different. My wife and I had just arrived at our, just off the motorway hotel, after 10 gruelling hours of motorway driving and decided, as it was late, to take a chance with the first eatery we came across. We opened the door at 9:55 pm and were expecting to be told that we were too late as they closed at 10:00 pm. To our delight and eternal thanks we were invited in with a warm welcome which could not have been distinguished from the welcome offered to the first customer of the day. We were offered a table which was close to the door, my wife asked if we could be seated a little further away from the door. Without hesitation we were heading for a location which meant the door was nothing but a distant memory. The menu was explained to us and we were then set to order. Our order was taken just after 10:05 pm with no hastle whatsoever. The dish we ordered would take 25 minutes, we were asked if we would like to order something else which was already prepared and when I stuck to my guns and the original order, I was expected at least a moan. On the contrary, "OK sir, not a problem, now is there anything else I can get you" During the next 45 minutes we were treated to a lovely meal, freshly cooked, with a bit of light hearted banter and chat with quite a few of the staff who didn't hover as would be the case in most of the places I have had a late meal in but remained attentive to our needs and even offered little extras.My wife and I left nandos Hamilton thoroughly refreshed both in terms of food and drink and by the first class attitude of an obviously hard working and pleasant group of young people.

I go for lunch with friends here about once a month and the staff and food are always brilliant.A couple of months ago I had a slight problem with my chicken burger and a staff member (Samantha) had came over to check that everything was okay. After letting her know about my issue, she insisted that she wanted us to enjoy our meal and would have a replacement cooked straight away. The replacement was made quickly and was lovely as expected.I wouldn't usually complain in a restaurant so I was quite nervous about saying anything, but Samantha made me feel immediately at ease about the situation and even refused to take a tip from me when we left. This is probably the best customer service I've ever received at a restaurant, I hope Nando's treat their fantastic staff like Samantha as well as they treat their customers!

Standard Nando's fare, pick what you want and order at the counter.Food came quickly and was piping hot and tasty, staff were pleasant and helpful. place was cosy with a nice chatty atmosphere.It's good fast food (not the cheapest) but enjoyable. I hear it get very busy in the evenings and weekends.

Went for lunchtime meal deal. Staff assumed I wanted full portions of chicken goujon. With burger and fries. Asked if we were in for meal deal then told me she had already put on full portions. Nothing was cooked right. Chips were soggy and inedible. The burger was completely different from previous visit. And my lunchtime cost was £11 dearer than previous week. I never mentioned it as I knew it would be taken personally. Last week's visit was fantastic. This visit has left a foul taste in my mouth. Won't be back. Fart
