Imagine this...you call a restaurant and tell them your daughter is going to celebrate her birthday with her sisters and friends and can you bring a cake that can be served after the meal as a big surprise?...the answer?...yes of course, no problem. You take the cake (13 inch, 16 servings), together with candles etc to the restaurant...meet the duty manager, explain what time they will be there, explain that the birthday girl's sister R will let them know when they arrive, leave them a large container for the remainder of the cake ( the rest for a larger family celebration, parents, children etc when they come back in the evening after the meal)...yes of course, no problem Birthday girl, together with her sisters and friends, arrives at the arranged time...R goes up to the server and quietly announces she is R and they are the birthday party, so really looking forward to the surprise....server looks taken aback, goes to speak to a colleague, both walk into the back...?????? Server returns...asks R to come with her to speak to the duty manager...duty manager says..."There is no easy way to tell you this, we served the cake to another birthday party who came in this afternoon".....!!!!! You can just imagine it...random party celebrating someone's birthday...one of them thinks I'll ask the server if they have anything like a birthday cake to finish the meal...server thinks, oh yeh this must be them and says yes of course we do...and serves up a 13 inch, 16 serving birthday cake, together with candles whilst singing happy birthday to some randoms!!!!...and to top it off, they look at their bill and see that Nando's have given them the cake for free!!! Oddly...we did get our container back...go figure. Real life story???....yep...oh how we laughed......Nando's Princess Hay Exeter...tyvvvm

Great food, great staff. There was no running water in the female toilets so had to wash hands in basin in dining area. A member of restaurant staff seemed to be sorting out a plumbing issue in the cubicle. I asked for a quiet table on arrival and was put next to a loud couple. I ordered on the app, which was smooth and got my nhs discount. I appeared to have less fries than the lady next to me on her plate, despite me having 2 sides. I hate that you have to get up to get your own knife and fork and napkin. The restaurant is appealing inside and toilets are on the same level as the dining area. I had the great imitator wrap and peri fries with coleslaw and a stoxlie and it came to £15 something. It would have been £18 something without my discount. This nandos is in easy walking distance through a modern shopping area from the gothic grand Exeter cathedral.

My first time at nandos, my wife's fifth. We were both impressed with the chap who greeted us and showed us to our table. We noticed how he was always smiling, courteous to all customers and seemed to do every job, would have left a tip if there was a tip jar. The food was very nice. Went mild to be safe, then noticed the bottles of different sauces to try/add to you meal. Nice touch. Will definitely be visiting again when next in Exeter.

Well, this review is as unprecedented as the current climate we live in, because I had fast food that wasn't KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, Pizza Hut or Domino's and I loved it!Myself and my wife attended this traditional African Portuguese restaurant on the advice of our grandson Eli,who said we would love the traditional "vibe" and the many meat options, or at least various menu options of one meat, the humble poullet.Now myself and Mrs R were amazed that there was so much more you could do with a chicken than just roasted or souped, we even noticed "chicken pitta" on the menu! Those Greeks really have influenced all modern western society rather well.But enough classical history, let's get down to the food.I plumped for the half a peri peri (so good they named it twice) chicken and Mrs R had the "tender lover" chicken in a pitta with salad and a mint and coriander dressing, Mrs R cheekily exclaimed that the name of her dish reminded her of being an au pair in 1970's Biarritz, at this I exclaimed that pudding was now off the menu.What can I say about our first totally traditional African Portuguese dining experience? Well, the stickiness of the chicken, the spicy range of sauces, the 45 min queue amongst Love Island rejects for a table, the social distancing rules, the smell of sanitiser in the air, all these things and more gave us the kind of dining experience that many will not have yet all must try and do.Nandos, you took us on a whirlwind of paltry goodness from Lisbon via Mozambique and back again and we loved it. I will not attempt the complicated chicken dishes at home so we will be back soon!I doff my cap sirs, I doff my cap.Cluck me it's good.

Si tiene hambre, no vaya a menos que quiera gastar demasiado para pequeñas porciones de comida básica con una selección limitada en un menú confuso. Sin todos los condimentos diferentes también sería muy suave. Las raciones básicas de arroz y papas fritas junto con la pequeña envoltura de pollo todavía me dejaron con hambre y esto costó casi 10 más los 3 por una pequeña botella de cerveza. Los precios de los restaurantes no son más que un 'almacén' de comida rápida, ya que todavía tiene que levantarse para pedir sus comidas / bebidas y recoger los condimentos, etc. Ningún miembro del personal es en absoluto informativo. Hay mucho mejores lugares para comer cerca. Decepcionado. . . . Simplemente no es bueno para chuparse los dedos tampoco. : -Lo siento, Nando, pero no obtuviste a Max, tengo buenas calificaciones, a menos que cambies drásticamente algunas cosas, incluido el menú distorsionado.

My partner and I absolutely love a Nando’s. We live in Barnstaple but will travel to Exeter for lunch/dinner and a movie. The gentleman server with the moustache, slim build and quite short in stature is friendly, welcoming and overall hospitable. I’ve never caught his name unfortunately. The menu is diverse and you can look at nutritional information on Nando’s website. I’ve recently found their Macho Peas! Delish!! The food is quick but without you thinking it’s been pre held and heated up. The temperature is always acceptable/hot and the taste is fantastic. It’s a very busy restaurant and you can see a high turnover of customers. You’ll walk in with a load of people but when you leave a whole new load are sat down. You have to be impressed with the running of it. Thank you for our visits, you’re all doing a fab job and we’ll certainly see you again soon. Alex

It may seem pointless to review a Nandos as they are all the same. However I feel this one needs a special shout out to the friendly and welcoming staff. The gentleman who showed us to the table was great and helpful finding a suitable table for our 2yr old who was asleep in her push chair. The food was lovely.

Visited the restaurant twice on our multi centre visit through Cornwall. Easy to find and not 5 mins from our Premier Inn.This is exactly as you would expect from a Nando's, great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional staff. The cashier was very helpful in explaining the redemption of the chillies on our Nando's card and ended up saving £15 on each visit by basically ending up with one free meal - superb.The table staff were highly attentive, but on our second visit we got to see this Nando's in full flight. It was busy, with a queue out the door, but the extreme efficiency and attentiveness of all the staff was exceptional. No wait on the food, yet still felt like individuals and not rushed -truly magical to witness.Exceptionally clean too - all credit to this particular restaurant.

Visited this Nando’s twice in as many weeks. Once with 13 of us on a busy Friday lunch and once on my own on a quiet Tuesday. Both times the service was impeccable. Fast food at its best. Delicious and freshly cooked! Very friendly and chatty staff, nothing too much trouble. Jorge who appears to be the manager/greeter makes you feel very welcome and even offered to get my refillable drink so I didn’t have to leave my shopping when I was on my own. Highly recommend the fino pitta! It’s a good idea to book at peak times especially if there is a few of you as on the Friday lunchtime there was a queue out of the door and if that doesn’t say something then nothing will! Will definitely be back when I’m next in Exeter.

Have been to this branch several times over the years. It always been very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Been twice in the last six months and both times have been a let-down. Dirty food covered floors, uncleared tables for the duration of our meal, rude, unhelpful, slovenly staff walking round drinking out of paper cups whilst serving the food in dirty uniforms. The food service area on both occasions was very messy and obviously unorganised. The toilets were filthy. Waited over 45 minutes for food the second time we went even though it wasn’t busy. Food was then served cold and side orders not there. When we questioned where they were, we were told to prove it with our receipt!! We did, but surely the kitchen has a copy of what we ordered?? No apology was forthcoming-the side orders were just dumped on the table with a grunt-we had not been rude or made a fuss. This Nando’s used to be one of nicest I have ever been to. We won’t be going again-what’s happened??!!

A group of 5, we were lucky to get a table which shows how popular this restaurant is. I don’t see why. We were shown to our table and then left to choose and order, no problem. We went to the bar to place our order and pay, we wanted to order together and pay bits of the bill separately but they couldn’t do that, even though we had worked out the amounts for them. So we ordered and sat down and waited for the food. Our food all turned up within a few minutes of each other so that was quite good considering we ordered separately. They managed to get 2 orders wrong and it took a good 10 minutes to find someone to rectify these mistakes, which was surprising considering the amount of staff they had on. The issues were dealt with and we finally got to eat our meals.

Nandos Exeter has become a firm family favourite with us. Always, the staff and management are happy to greet us with smiles and warmth, creating an atmosphere of being wanted and valued as a customer. The menu is brilliance and caters for all tastes. The chicken livers in a Portuguese roll are out of this world, the chicken cooked to perfection, as ordered with my favourite medium nandos sauce. The chips are always served fresh and hot and the 2m Mozambique lager is a delight. In life, you get what you pay for, with nandos you get more, great quality, quantity, great service and a dining experience that sets the standard for all restaurants to follow.

As I approached the counter to place our order, the manager was stood at one till with his head down while two other staff members chatted behind him. The manager didn’t look up or even acknowledge me standing there, he instead waited for one of the others to finish his conversation and serve me. The young man who served me was polite and attentive, perhaps you should reevaluate your management team?

We visited this restaurant for a light bite during our annual visit. This was a first for the boss, Once we had understood the system all went smoothlu ,service was prompt for this very busy outlet but polite and friendly . Front of house was very quicky and tactile, such that this might be difficult for some people. The chicken was excellent for the price and we both found this a pleasurable experience.

first and last visit to this place, we did not see any signs to say we needed to wait to be seated it was not busy so we found a table, when the waiter came over he was shouting at us that we had to wait to be seated, he said it over and over getting louder and louder we just got up and left as a customer you do not expect that treatment awful experience.

Tasty food in a buzzing restaurant. Very much what you'd expect of a large chain. Food of an acceptable, uniform standard with happy staff. Makes a welcome change from going to McDonalds.

Classic Nando's, never dissapoints. Visited here on a rainy day after some shopping and decided to opt for something other than the norm. Had the sharing platter (medium) with bottomless drinks and 4 regular sides (garlic bread, coleslaw, peri salted chips and spicy rice) which was all delicious. Certainly made up for the weather after a long day in the wet!

Why does everybody rave about this chain it’s just chicken ?? First time visitor with family and fair enough the food was very nice but it’s just like a posh KFC, I prefer variety on a menu. The dessert menu was very poor aswell.

I've been to Nando's Exeter a few times now, and every time I have had an equally good experience. Sometimes, I've had to queue to get a table, which shows just how popular this Nando's is - but even when it's really busy, the service is still quick and friendly and the food is still great. This is a great place to come with friends as it caters to all tastes and has a good vegetarian menu, too. The bottomless soft drinks are ideal for students on a budget, and the food is just spot on every time. Would definitely recommend - always my first suggestion when going out with friends.

You can’t beat a Nando’s , the staff are great, the menu is great however in my opinion could have a specials board offering new things as the menu is the same all the time :)

There is rarely much of a queue and when there is it goes down quickly as there is a fair amount of seating.

Exeter branch of Nando's in the city centre. If you haven't been before (where have you been ?), this chain serves Portuguese grilled chicken ranging in spiciness from plain to very hot ! It's good value at circa at tenner for a main and two sides and relatively healthy compared to other fast food outlets. Service was very friendly and quick. Well worth a visit !

We've been visiting this branch of Nandos for a quite a few years now. Never had a problem, food always excellent and service first class. There's one particular member of staff who's always very kind and welcoming and I only managed to catch his name today. So Domingo, you're an absolute credit to Nandos and I hope your management read this. Highly recommended!!

Me and a friend visited this place last night, we have both been before but it's been a while since I've last visited. We arrived at 6:45 and were offered the choice of many tables where we could sit, my friend had then ordered the food which arrived so quickly! We both really enjoyed our meals, mine was the sunset burger and hers the butterfly chicken. We were offered a sweet once we had finished which we both declined as we both were very happy and full. The customer service was great and the staff seem to be happy to be there. I will be coming back again even if it's not in the near future.

We were staying in Exeter for a couple of nights and fancied trying Nando's as we had never been before. As soon as we walked through the door the waiters we very friendly and helpful. The menu had lots of variety and you could choose how spicy hot you wanted your meal. We ordered and were surprised how quickly it came. My buttered chicken burger with chips and coleslaw was amazing and I couldn't finish it. Everybody else in the party really enjoyed there meals as well with refillable soft drinks for the children. Just wanted to say that Jorge the waiter was so friendly and funny. He came over to check that everything was ok with our meal and stayed for a chat. Thanks Jorge

Tuvimos un almuerzo familiar y fue todo correcto, pero las raciones eran pequeñas y el precio caro. Una cosa es estar en un lugar porque la gente quiere ser visto, pero otra por su buena reputación. Nando's es bueno, pero después de haber estado en muchos lugares de Francia, el Reino Unido y California y Nueva York incluso Long Island en los estados unidos, sólo puedo decir que conseguir una C menos. Si quieren ir más alto como un grado, deben subir los tamaños, el servicio 'smil y precio, entonces, podrían ser muy guay de nuevo!

I come to Nando's, Exeter, regularly and I'm always welcomed. I always go for something off the bone (with 2 regular sides) and I can never complain, it's always at the best standard. I will definitely be back of course. P.s. Great costumer service

What can I say. It's Nandos! Arrived with the family, welcomed with a great smile, seated very quickly. The food came fairly quickly and tasted amazing. Can't fault thus place. The staff really know how to put a smile on children's faces.

This is a nice place to eat looks clean and tidy and we were lucky enough not to que out the as we have before.we had the chicken burger which was nice and moist with some coleslaw and chips.only downside is there is not much on the beer and larger menu to choose from.

Como una comida familiar, fue todo correcto: pero habiendo vivido en los Estados Unidos, Francia y aquí, podemos comparar. Las raciones son demasiado pequeñas, el servicio es un poco estrecho y lento y c'est dommage. Siempre es mejor bajo promesa y entregar más que a la inversa. . .

Good food and a good service, but wow, it felt like the staff had somewhere to be afterwards! Was there a party to go to? The service was very rushed and we didn’t have time to breathe from starter to dessert!! Such a shame considering everything else was to a good standard…

Not a family friendly restaurant at all. We’ve been going to Harvester for over 13 years since I moved to Exeter and have visited different branches around the country. First time to experience such rude service by our server Jo. Definitely an unpleasant experience. Management team is also appalling. I want to straighten the facts mentioned in the response of my review. Firstly, the kids did not persistently ran around. This only happened a few time where each time an adult kept telling them and grabbing them to sit down. If you have kids you’ll know how hard it is to contain 2 years old to keep still as well as a 6 years old. Also, if you don’t want kids to stand up and go to a chicken machine you have on display then please remove this machine as it attracts too much attention for kids! Secondly, nobody swore! I never realised saying ‘For goodness sake’ was a swear word. If your waitress and incompetent supervisor was not rude in responding when being asked what their name was, then your guest wouldn’t have been annoyed and responded in this way. Thirdly, I didn’t realise that a family friendly restaurant doesn’t allow guest to sit on another table (unoccupied table) to try and contain the ‘problematic’ little 2 year old guest your waitress kept moaning about. If your waitress Jo wasn’t so rude to shout at a guest and tell them to not sit on a table that was empty and the guest even offered to clean the table that was sat on but ‘NOoooo’ it was so much of an hassle for your staff member Jo to just be respectful to your guest! Fourth, please teach your staff the right morals in dealing with customer service. Your waitress Jo was caught lying when she told guests that the kitchen will be closing in 20mins. Order was placed around 19:20 when in-fact you still have a table booked at 19:45 which means that they have less than 5 mins to place their order when they arrive. How come this was accommodated? Is this the attitude you tolerate in your family friendly restaurant? Please do not blame the guest for the incompetence of your management team and poor attitude of staff. If kindness and appropriate service was given in the beginning you will not receive such feedback. On the plus note, I want to commend your waitress Millie for being so friendly and accommodating. You need more staff like her! She was the only thing good about your restaurant.

We popped in here after a family day at Crealy, good location and plenty of parking. Staff were brilliant very quick helpful and polite, carvery was really good plenty of meat and lots of veg options. Only thing that let the place down was the toilets were vile I mean disgusting and the place it's self isn't that clean, really gross carpets and dated.
