Nando's Coventry - Arena in Coventry

Chicken is always great soft juicy and spicy, only thing I would say is Nando’s are not consistent enough on the chips. I mean you could go for a meal and chips are hot and tasty, other times you can go in and your chips seem to be like there've been sitting there for an hour, and taste very stale and bitter. Last time I went I complained out the chips, however got a dirty look from staff, so I don’t bother complaining now. Considering Nando’s prices have shot up, you would think quality control would be on point.

Foods Nice, takes about 30 minutes to get, but restaurant was full and it was fresh. Drinks were really bad. Wouldn't recommend anybody for softdrinks.

No halal available and they had a different menu to most Nandos . The vegetarian option could have been better

The atmosphere was great tonight and all of the staff were lovely, special thanks to Fabien for his exceptional customer service and mannerisms. He went above and beyond creating a lovely environment for our last night with family before they fly home.

We turned up at a busy time. Lots of people happy to wait. Wasn't to long to get seated. Food was good. Service friendly. Lots of free parking

The food and staff were really good, however if I had used the toilets before I had eaten I would not have stayed

Rice is usually old as it clumps and you can see those bigger pieces are hard and very brown. Service is rude, once i asked for 5 boxes for takeaway (i had lots of food left after 6 ppl) waitress made surprised face and said ,,five?!” And i said yes and then she brought only two!! So i was forced to ask for more as of course it was not enough. Maybe they being charged for it im not sure. Another guy who is always in my kids faces , they dont want to give him high five and he is so pushy about it! I said to him ,,they dont want to do it” and he was like keep pushing and ignoring me, a parent. It was inappropriate. Generally weird vibe there and i am not impressed.

Always good at a nando's after work

The staff where rude as soon as we walked in we then went to get a highchair and the worker came over and said have u been here before you know your suppose to wait for a member of staff to bring one over. Then the staff member came to the table and spoke to us very rudely about next time you wait and don’t help yourself as it’s a trip hazard grabbing a highchair for a child.

Delicious food for the spice lovers 1. Wait for your turn to get the table. The staff were friendly and polite. 2. Option to order from phone using QR scanner with table number. Seamless ordering experience 3. Different types of nando's sauces - Hot 🔥, medium spice, lime herb, Ketchup etc., 4. Soft drinks can be filled by ordering the glass Just that staff were busy serving all the tables, Still they tried their best.

Great as usual. I quite liked the Ricco Nando’s. Friendly and helpful staff. Food came quick too. Lovely restaurant.

It is clean and the staff are really engaging. I was even asked if everything was OK midway through my meal, which is usual for a restaurant but not Nando's. Food was great, came out hit and there was even a hand washing station should you get to messy.

A really nice little nandos I great condition tucked away at the opposite end of Tesco to the rest of the shops. The foods great and service is quick and efficient

Perfect. The chap who was greating and seating was such a nice guy too. Took the time to welcome the kids.

Eat in, take away or even delivery this nandos always comes through to a high standard.

Found the staff lovely and friendly. But the food was way overpriced and really not that nice

Came here for mya niece 13th Birthday felt very rushed. All our starters arrived at the same time as our mains. when requested to leave 10-15 minutes in between meals.To top it off when a staff member brought out the birthday cake there was not sparklers on that was brought to be put on her cake.Not one staff member sang happy birthday just showed up with the cake with no emotion on her face. Very unsatisfied with the service. Can definitely say will not be coming here again

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat after a long drive. Its a Nandos and food was as expected, tasty enough and a large selection. The restaurant is similar style to others, big enough to seat quite a few, however it is also quite noisy, with a lack of soft furnishings to help deaden the ambient sounds. The speed of seating also seemed a bit slow and the table we were given had actually been empty since we arrived at the restaurant and had waited 20 mins to be seated. Food arrived quick enough and all the order was correct, a standard un exciting meal out really, nothing special and nothing particularly memorable about the experince.

Had a great meal there with the family and would have marked the service down as the meals came out over a period of 10-15 minutes. This was picked up by Fabien the manager and his customer service was excellent apologising offering us any free puddings which the boys took him up on the offer. We also sat outside in the new seating area in the evening sunshine ☀️

Busy Nandos, so there was a nice atmosphere. As always the food was good. I ordered on the app and the service was super fast. Toilets were spotless. Very nice branch.

I come to this nandos quite often, but today's experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I asked the server to make a simple amendment to my order and was met with attitude as if I had asked for the content of the till! Up until today I've always thought the service here was great even if the food was medicore, but after today I will not be returning.

Amazing customer service from Sai Shankara !!! He was so bubbly and so friendly he made mine and my partners experience so pleasant. Thank you for your amazing customer service

Food arrived hot in 10 minutes, first time taking a friend, highly recommend, good service, good food, quick and not too expensive.

Most of the workers were really good but we did get some attitude from one of the female staff all sorted by the manager on duty

Was a nandos, can't really complain. It was clean and tidy, fast service, standard nandos food.

Just what you'd expect from a Nandos restaurant.

Nothing special, just chicken. Tip: don't get garlic bread.

My daughter Jemma, myself and granddaughter India went this evening for my birthday. What or rather who stood out was our waiter Fabian who greeted us at the door. Unfortunately at the moment, I'm on crutches and in a lot of pain. Fabian was so kind in looking around for the best place that we could sit so I would be more comfortable. I decided a chair as opposed to a booth with be easier for me. He was such a kind guy who then made sure he went to get me a more comfortable chair. I must say such attention to us as customers was lovely but Fabian's kindness was outstanding and so caring. He also checked how we were and how our meal was. I must say I would be extremely happy to have a waiter like Fabian in every restaurant I went to. Thanks again Fabian for giving my faith in the kindness of others a boost and well done on doing a great job and with a smile on your face 😊

Cold food , under staff, loud music, rubbish customer service. Go to Rugby's Nandos again.

Enjoyed our trip here. The outlet is tucked away at the far end of the retail park, but is a decent size. We were seated immediately, despite it being Saturday afternoon. Service was good, food was decent, so chances are we’ll return again!

Service is always good at this Nando's Waited a while but was worth waiting 20 mins Drinks are too expensive for soft drinks at Nando's

Nice lively place with lots of nice menu options and lots of nice professional services in the restaurant the area was a bit too quiet and calm.

Incredible service, amazing food. Huge shout out to Krishna & Fabian who always give 110% for their job. Will definitely come back.

One of our favourite restaurants. If you’re looking for some spicy chicken, this is the place. They have the spiciest sauces. Staff are very friendly and nice. The restaurant is large and has ample seating. They are situated in the Arena, so there is more than enough parking space.

We always go to Nando’s in Coventry city centre and it’s always really nice and fresh. We went here on Sunday and the food taste stale and so dry. The chicken was so tough I didn’t even finish my dinner. The staff got the order wrong and then told us we were wrong? Really disappointing.

Hmm, not sure what happened to those Halloumi fries 😅

Pre football meal was ok tables very close to eachother which gives the feeling that everyone is listening to your conversations. Food came out quickly which was ok for us but did see meals from 2 tables return overall it was ok.

Visited on Easter bank holiday. Nice busy atmosphere, prompt food service and standard Nando’s quality. The only improvement would be to serve crispier chips.

We and my colleague were working nearby and dropping for a cheeky Nandos. The places didn’t have the feel as other Nandos I have been, the food was ok. It’s just your typical Nandos.

The food was hot and fresh. Staff were Super friendly

Visited this Nandos a few weeks ago and can say that me and my friends were highly disappointed. When we arrived, the place wasn’t too busy but still had to wait awhile to be seated when we could clearly see free seats, also none of the workers approached us until we had to chase for one and let them knowthat we had been waiting. When we were seated, we were not given any instructions on how to order (luckily it wasn’t our first time) and had to wait over 30 minutes for our food, and was disappointed when arrived as portions were small and the burger was basically falling apart. Also, we asked the server if they could kindly put the blinds down as the sun was in our faces and they said yes but never actually did it (it was done for the other side of the restaurant) and the waiter was very much not open to fulfilling our needs, as they rolled their eyes anytime we would ask for anything or when we wanted to check for how long the food would take as we were waiting for quite awhile. Anyways, will not be visiting anytime soon, until the customer service that is provided gets better as right now is very much below the standards.

Good company, good food ( bit hot, but I did order it) and super prices. Place is a bit Barn like, not really cosy but not uncomfortably.

We were served by Krishna today. Very great customer service and kind.

Lovely, tasty food. Bit pricey but well worth it

A busy Nando’s. Good food, service is good, but what I find so annoying about the service is that like at any Nando’s you have to ask for your desert and then it takes a long time to get a basic desert. They often take ages coming to your table to clear up and it’s difficult to get someone’s attention. I often order sweet potato fries to go with my mains and always get it as a starter. Maybe next time I’ll order the food and desert separately. Otherwise I love a Nando’s!

Just as you would expect. Although I'm a bit old fashion and would prefer to have an option to make and order to a person rather then having to do this via app... got way too many on my phone now.

A beautiful meal here, the staff are so very attentive and helpful.

Wonderful service and fantastic staff! The haste of the service was impeccable, placed order and within 5 it was here, despite how busy the restaurant was. The price is on the expensive side but it is certainly worth it! A massive portion of food and a gorgeous dessert!

I'm not a student, or in my twenties, I've never been to Nandos before, and I think that was pretty obvious from the minute I sat down. But instead of being helpful, the staff were dismissive and rude, and I felt like an idiot for not knowing how it all work's

Wouldn’t recommend the place and also wouldn’t go there again! My partner had the plain boneless chicken thighs, but they were very hot. The attitude left me with a bitter taste, as both the guy that served and his manager came with the excuse that they come pre marinated like that from the supplier. I can firmly say that she had plain before and that means no condiments whatsoever! A piece of meat on the grill and then served, nothing more! Maybe there was something cooked before and the grill not properly cleaned, but a manager should know or at least to have a proper attitude!

The food was great. They had amazing customer service.One item was missing and they were rapidly able to sort it out!

I have been here multiple times and haven't ever had a fault to say! Staff are friendly and attentive!

Been to other Nando's also, but first time in Nando's Coventry Arena the chicken wings tasted bitter, not sure whether it is burnt or due to over-pouring of some ingredients.

I've been here for Works Departmental lunch & most likely never go again. Food is nice & restaurant is spacious enough. Had to wait to be seated despite booking & when we arrived there was no one there to show us to our table. When we were shown to our table it had not been cleaned properly, item of staff clothing on the table & also a cloth that obviously a staff member was using to clean the table perhaps. As there were meant to be 10 of us having one table was a problem, 9 of us in the end. When we were shown to our table the Manager (I think) wanted to put us on two tables; we asked if we could put one small table for two onto a large table; this again was a problem. We had booked, so why not put us somewhere where there was ample seating together?! I get it's lunchtime & maybe they are not used to that many people being there at lunchtime. Asked if the table could be cleaned by another staff member, no problem. Food was served quite quickly, but staff member bringing the food to the table could have done with smiling more & speaking up as to what food she was bringing. When we pointed out who was having what food that was also an issue; love if you don't speak up we can't hear you & we were helping you do your job! Another customer was there with his son, who smashed a ketchup bottle (by accident) on the floor, no staff member went to deal with it so customer is picking up the glass from the floor & said customer had to go & get staff to come & clean the glass up; all staff were far too busy in their own role to notice something had happened & what if that customer had cut himself on the glass he was picking up? I am really not sure why people rave about Nandos & as said before, probably won't go again. Had a nice time with my colleagues all the same despite the service at the restaurant.

Didn't know there was a nando corner of the arena! Lovely meal and friendly staff

Busy Saturday afternoon, only had to wait 10mins. Food was great, staff excellent. Easy to use the QR ordering. Lots of parking available

Good customer service. Keep it up.

Lovely food and staff. Will be visiting again.

The food was fresh and properly cooked

I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing service from Suad, Anaya, Craig, Abel, Ben and Alex. Especially on a Friday night, I can understand that it may be stressful. However, they carried everything out the best way possible. I will be returning again soon.

I would give a five-star if the sides portion was a bit larger (e.g, rice). But it's definitely worth a visit)

Fantastic food , and great service . Thankyou

Any chance of this Nando’s Branch serving Halal food someday? Although the City branch is Halal, the parking situation is abysmal and it is always loud and crowded whereas this branch is in a great spot and imo, has a better atmosphere. Food is always 10/10! 😍😍 the wife & I just love Nandos!

Excellent staff, gorgeous tasty food. Speedy service, lovely atmosphere. 10/10

Service is great, food is always cooked well just what you'd expect!

Very comfortable and pleasant staff

Food was fine, but certainly not worth the price. This was my first time trying Nandos and I don't plan to go back. Not to mention it is set up like a glorified fast food restaurant... not sure how they justify the cost.

We visited on a saturday night which granted we knew it was going to be busy, we waited about 20 minutes for a table which is completely fine, we ordered our food around 7:15pm and it didn’t arrive untill gone 8pm which is slow for usual waiting time at nandos, we wouldn’t have minded waiting if the food was good however both mine and my partner chicken was black, shown by the photo attached, they also had no mayo that we asked for which after such a long wait we thought we may of been offered perinaise, this was overall a disappointing experience considering nandos is usually my favourite place to eat:(

Needs a good clean on the fixture and fitting tbh as they have thick black dust. Food and service was good and generally clean floors and tables.

Really good Nandos, all the staff were really polite and professional. Food arrived quickly. Unlike other Nandos restaurants the tables aren't crammed together. Loads of parking and very easily accessible.

Comparing with other Nanos’s, this place is relatively new and quiet. It’s very popular and nice to have a lunch here if you work around this place. My colleagues often go to this restaurant. The garlic bread is perfect!

Took too long to make hallumi sticks.

Lack of waiting staff made food cooler than expected.

Harrison had awful manors and had a dead hair cut. He proceeded to steal chicken from my plate while exclaiming “PROTEIN” !

I’ve been at Nando’s in Birmingham and London but never had a meal at Nando’s coventry. Quite disappointed for our first time visit. One of the servers that greeted us, automatically assumed we knew how to go about and didn’t even tell us that we should order through the app/website. After many tries and unsuccessful attempts one of the other servers told us we could just order at the till. The food was prepared quite quickly but again disappointed when it came out. Small portion of chicken wings at high prices. The burger bun was quite old and falling apart. We were not given cutleries and we had to look for it on the cabinets. Despite this, the food was indeed very delicious. I would propose that the servers be more friendly, smile more often and check their guests every now and again. Not everyone is from Coventry, some of us are just visitors!

I went here for a food gathering with 3 other friends. Front door wasn't working, had to enter from the side (28/08/23). Staff, were very polite and good attitude to customers. Ordered food, but separately via the QR code. 2 of the orders came out and we must have been waiting a further 20 minutes for mine and another friends order. After a further 10 minutes we asked the staff where the food was. We sat close enough that we could see the kitchen and whether or not there was a shortage of what we ordered, but it didn't seem the case. (Butterfly chicken, peri salted chips, macho peas.) The staff came back and said "they're prioritizing our order now". Food eventually came out, chicken was really dry, not the normal standard I've had at nando's. Would I give that store another try...? Yes, based on the waitresses punctuality and friendliness.

The service was awful and the staff are rude and the restaurant was filthy only went once and will not return its disgusting.

Gabby needs to work on her customer service, I made my displeasure known and Craig took over our table from there on. Craig was a delight and if he hadnt come over to intervene I would have walked out because of Gabbys terrible attitude. Food was good

Was lovely. We had a large table and all ordered from the app. Was very straightforward

Good food and ambience but guy at the door was rude and unpolite. Will find a better restaurant next time.

Lovely service and great food, craig made the whole experience really smooth. Would recommend !

Didn't like this Nandos .stuck on the fringe of a shopping complex TESCO . outlook a CARPARK .no not for me .

We went for food after a long day, and ordered around 11 different plates. We were served by Fabian and Ben who made sure that the food was really quick to come out, they were all the correct orders, and no one was waiting for their food while others were eating. Fabian and Ben really made the night a success and were very accommodating! Thank you!

Another great meal at Nando’s Arena Coventry. Me and my mate go weekly, the hospitality from Abel is second to none, he does his best to get you seated asap separating larger tables to suit smaller groups etc. He checks in several times throughout the meal to make sure you don’t need anything. Just an all round brilliant service. Looking forward to next week already 😁

Really busy when we went but the service was friendly and fast. Good nandos!

Food was good staff was great even though we had wait 30 minutes for table due to being busy staff were fab especially Abel and his sister

Exceptionally warm, kind and friendly attentive customer service was provided by a delightful young gentleman called Craig. This aswell as the tasty food choices enhanced, myself and my partners Sunday evening visit at this particular restaurant.We will no doubt be returning again very soon. Thank you Craig and team !!

Clean, friendly staff and efficient. All makes for an enjoyable meal.

My wife and I recently ate here. We were both very impressed with the food. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The service was also excellent. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

I come here every Friday. Most staff are attentive and helpful. Young man named Able goes above and beyond. He checks that everything is ok with my meal. On a few occasions it hasn’t been, he has dealt with it swiftly. Young lady called Lily is also always exceptionally welcoming and enhances my experience. They are both great hosts, very professional and ought to be recognised for their hard work and customer service skills.

I am a delivery driver if you have ordered from deliveroo and it takes a long time to arrive is because the staff at this place seem to prioritise the customers in the restaurant even though sometimes the order may be ready they refuse to answer the delivery door for the driver collection point terrible delivery service and ignorant to delivery drivers.

staff were just great. helpful, cheerful . First time and nandos. I shall certainly go again.

Food was lovely but asked for a specific waiter to another and he was very rude about it. Even shouted at us after giving us dirty cups. Upset me for the first 5 minutes, so recommended a little more customer service training for him. Apart from that everything was ok.

Came here for my sons birthday, spent nearly £80 , I'm an NHS worker and get 20% discount with my NHS card, I got £4 off an £80 spend, I really don't understand? When I questioned it I had no idea what he was talking about?? My sons garlic bread was so burnt it was inedible, don't think I will be bothered again.

Great food as always, good service

A regular nandos visitor but never visited this one before. Food...standard nandos. Decor not as nice as most to me...just a big cube with adornments. Had medium half chicken with peri fries and spicy rice. Chicken cooked well above average for nandos....sometimes it can be flabby and under crisped skin wise...sometimes over which results in very dry breast. This was about right.

Always very friendly service and food is great.

Had a lovely time here. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The gentleman who seemed to be the manager went above and beyond for all the customers. Accidentally dropped a glass, and he was more concerned about us and told us not to worry. The food was hot and yummy and good portion sizes. We were very welcome here and would return again

I don't know. I didn't go in there

Unfortunately got food poisoning
