Great manager on duty but the whole just eat and deliveroo has killed this restaurant. Had to wait half an hour just for a table because the kitchen were so rushed, fulfilling orders from online to give out for drivers and completely lost sight that some people come out to eat still.

I normally love Nando’s, but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had and I won’t be returning. I spoke to the manager who was obstinate and unhelpful. It was my son’s birthday and it really soured the mood of an otherwise good day.

Arrived at around 2pm on a Sunday, to half the restaurant being empty, yet 20 odd people stood in the doorway and out in the rain waiting to be seated. No explanation or apology for this wait either. Ordered on the app once we were seated due to there then being a big queue to order, our food came out relatively fast and was okay. No cutlery available and when I asked I was told ‘it’s being polished it will be a few minutes’, I advised I already had my food on the table so could I have some now, which the girl told me again that’ll be a few minutes. I then looked around myself and found 2 buckets of clean polished cutlery on the bar by the till so took my own from there. Ingredients stated on the menu were not included in our food that came out which was disappointing. Generally a disappointing visit, staff didn’t seem to know what was going on and the manager made no effort to rectify any issues that other people were also complaining about. Shame that as a family we spent nearly £70 and had such a naff experience. Won’t be coming back any time soon!

Had lunch today and I must say how helpful and pleasant all the staff were, we were a large table and took a birthday cake, food was lovely, everyone enjoyed it from the youngest at 9months old with some chips to the oldest at 88 who had never heard of Nando’s before! Helpful with an egg allergy, thanks for a lovely lunch!

Manager was very nice, accounted for my deadly nut allergy and personally made sure I had not ingested one speck of nut dust on his sight. Food was regular Nandos but was disappointed when I found out they had not stocked Saka sauce. Loads of parking space and proximity to lots of homegoods joints

Out of the two Nando’s in Exeter marsh Barton is by far the best. However our visit this weekend - it looked like the team were struggling to keep up. Restuarant not full but over half hour wait for food, staff looked miserable and atmosphere was missing, no music on either. Will say aside from the service and even though the wait for food was long, once it arrived it was all hot fresh and what we were hoping for.

I was surprised to see that several of the front of house staff were wearing casual clothes rather than any form of identifying uniform, we were shown to a table by one such person and told to order from the app. We then went to order, only to find that the WiFi was down. Nobody was checking to see if anyone wanted to order manually and it was difficult to figure who to speak to without a uniform. I went up to the counter and ordered but the staff member seemed not interested in the fact there was an issue with the app. The whole place was dirty, the ledges and shelves were thick with dust and debris, the floor was filthy. Not a pleasant experience.

Service is poor. Made to wait 30 mins, a person behind us ( we saw the list) in the queue complained and was sat before us. Then when we sat down we were told it was a 45 minute wait for food. Empty tables were there whilst we waited to be sat, the kitchen struggling to cope with delivery orders. Not prioritising people that turn up is a poor long term business decision. Not impressed, we should have been told how long we were going to need to wait to actually get fed. We would have gone elsewhere. An evening ruined. Nando used to be a favourite but the decline in service means I’m unlikely to go back.

My son and I collected our take out from here last night, both of us have been really ill since we ate it. On the whole we both said as we were eating our meals that it didn’t taste as good as it does usually. I have also completed the customer survey that was emailed to me. We won’t be going back.

Food was great, but I had to wait 30 more minutes past the expected collection time, when I went in there to collect my food, I was ignored eventually I had to go up to an employee and ask, not great service in my opinion, I get they’re busy but some sort of interaction quickly would be nice instead of waiting there like a mug.

You can't fail at Nando's, 15 minute wait for a table, easy to order and get points on the app. The restaurant was busy but not overwhelmed, and it was still safe for older kids to get their own drinks and have some independence.

I recently visited this Nando's, and unfortunately, my experience didn't quite meet the expectations I had. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the lively atmosphere that Nando’s is known for, and the staff was very friendly, which I appreciated. However, I was taken aback by the service; it took 30 minutes from the time our order was taken until the food was served — the longest I’ve ever waited at any Nando's. What made this even more disappointing was that the restaurant was only about 1/5 occupied, yet it seemed that dine-in guests were not prioritized over takeaway delivery drivers. As someone who pays extra to sit in and enjoy the meal, it was frustrating to feel sidelined. When our food finally arrived, I found that it was below the usual standard I’ve come to expect from Nando's. Furthermore, the music in the restaurant was too loud, making it difficult to converse without raising our voices and adding to the overall chaos of the dining experience. In summary, while I appreciate the friendly service and the casual vibe of Nando's, this particular visit fell short of the high standards I associate with the brand. I hope to have a better experience on a future visit, but regrettably, I can only rate this outing as average due to the extended wait, subpar food quality, and the overwhelming noise level.

The chicken tastes bland and the ambience suits the music and the food they serve but the only downside is the food as the insides of the chicken is very raw.

All staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. It was a rainy Saturday at kids dinner time so I would expect lots of kids and a bit of noise. But it was really loud. The food was ok - only one of our orders was for mild seasoning but 2 had it. It wasn't too long to wait especially with how busy they were. We were a bit suprised by the price, but we had not been before and we ordered quite a bit more food than we needed. We will go again, probably try a quieter time of day and probably try some sharing platters to get the right amount of food.

Very disappointed with my visit to Nandos. Popped in our way home from a long flight so was extremely hungry. Arrived at Nandos and found it wasn't busy. We were told waiting time for a table was at least 45mins. So we decided to order a takeaway instead. No problem ordering took less than 5 minutes . However while waiting we counted the empty tables. 9 in total. We didn't say anything assumed these were precooked, waited patiently for out order which was supposed to be 30 mins. Several people came in... no bookings and were given tables right off. So what basis is this based on..? 🤔. Our food arrived 45 mins later and still mot complete. Person or manager wasn't fazed at all and looked like he couldn't be bothered. Very disappointed with the service.

Nando’s is a vibrant, casual dining experience renowned for its flavorful peri-peri chicken. The menu is centered around their signature flame-grilled chicken, marinated for 24 hours in a blend of African Bird’s Eye Chili and fresh ingredients. The result is a tender, juicy chicken that comes in varying levels of heat, catering to both spice lovers and those with milder palates. The atmosphere at Nando’s is inviting, with a modern yet cozy interior that reflects its South African roots. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Side dishes like peri-peri chips, spicy rice, and garlic bread complement the main courses perfectly. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether dining in or taking away, Nando’s delivers consistently delicious food at reasonable prices. It’s a go-to spot for a quick lunch or a casual dinner with friends.

I am delighted to share my dining experience at Nando's Exeter (Marsh Barton) in December 2023. I often eat at Nando’s restaurants but what made me leave a review on this particular occasion was primarily due to the wand an unparalleled customer service provided by the restaurant’s manager. It was evident that the manager takes great pride in his work, ensuring that each table received the attention and care they deserved, and this passion translates into a positive and welcoming atmosphere throughout this restaurant by the whole team which immediately set the tone for the rest of the evening. I was about to go on a 2 hours driving journey after this late dinner. I ordered two coffees at the end of the meal, however the coffee machine was broken. The manager went out his way and has manually prepared a delicious coffee to both my wife and I. His swift resolution not only rectified the issue but also showcased his commitment to ensuring that each guest leaves Nando's with nothing less than a memorable experience. The manager, when faced with a minor issue during my meal, demonstrated remarkable sense of professionalism and dedication to ensuring the utmost satisfaction of his customers. Great service, great experience!

Always loved this place. Big space, lovely music, yummy simple food. Let down by really poor service from the get go . It used to be so much better, which made it different from the normal (poor) service in the UK. Grumpy unfriendly welcome, 'no can do' attitude . Then , after placing an order was rudely told "it will be 30 mins at least for orders". I asked why don't you tell customers before they place an order?! Also, it is fast food .really! Shouldn't take SO long. Also , all restaurants listen up: children /baby orders should ALWAYS be made a priority, especially when your customers request it specifically. So no, I do not accept my children's food to come out later! Another let down- their frozen yogurt machine has been out of order since forever. DO BETTER!

Collected an order, got home to see it was missing a side. After calling them, all what was offered was going back to the restaurant to collect this which was just not feasible. They offered a 'refund,' however this was just on the missing side. This is not a reflection of the staff member on the phone who was as helpful as she could be, however the policy of only refunding on the missing item does not seem like great customer service given the inconvenience.

I wish I could give six stars for the service. We were told there would be a 30 min wait for a table, but it ended up being 3 mins (which was no problem) and then we ordered our food but was told there would be a 28min wait for the chicken as it's all cooked fresh - this was fine for us but we wanted to grab some starters to tie us over and the staff who helped us gave them to us for free of charge for the trouble (there was no trouble!!) Incredibly kind and thoughtful team even when low on FOH staff and hosting a birthday party. 10/10 nandos
