Nando's - Gateshead, Metro Centre in Gateshead

Was very busy in nandos but the team excelled. The service they provided was great and with a smile. Thank you Jess and the team.

Can't really comment on the food, etc. as it's years since I've actually eaten in Nando's but dare say it hasn't dramatically changed. However, tried to go today & was told there's a 10 to 15 minute wait & to queue outside. I wouldn't mind but there were numerous empty tables & there was only two of us. When I pointed out the empty tables I was told it's because there's only 2 servers on duty & it's half term. Was half term a surprise? Maybe organise your rotas better & surely it's better to sit people down to wait at an empty table with a drink rather than outside & then give up & go elsewhere.

I don’t know what’s happened portion of the chip's the going smaller the take same money But cheeps was be very small I can counting by hand

Staff were all so lovely and it seemed like they were happy to be working! Their singing and dancing in the kitchen was really lovely to see. At the same time, they were extremely efficient and the food, as always, was lovely! x

A number of years since I was last in any Nandos... not everything available on the menu on this day, quality was as good as I remember but prices 😲😲😲 too high, once in a blue moon visits only.

Amazing food. If you are looking for spicy food then Nando’s is the place! Suits our Indian tastebuds

I love Nandos but the food isn't as good as it used to be. The portions are way smaller for the high prices the butterfly chicken was dry and the broccoli which i don't mind crunchy was actually raw and cold. Shame because I really liked it at one time

Overall low score, purely because they still haven't fixed the Disabled Toilets door, which needs a back heel to open, which I reported some 6 months ago, today's date is 19th Sept 2023), let's see if this gets it fixed!

As expected, Nandos overpriced chicken that tasts good.

Food and service are great, but the atmosphere and cleanliness really pulls the overall score down. I'll avoid this particular Nandos in the future

Nando's Metro Centre - Qube offers exceptional food and excellent customer service. We went for the whole chicken sharing platter with four sides. Kudos to the chef - we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and couldn't have made it better ourselves. The best grilled chicken is actually spicy? (something you don't get often in England) and very flavorful; it's a fantastic place. Undoubtedly one of the best halal restaurants in Newcastle.

Very nice nandos in Newcastle. The chicken fell off the bone. The peri-salted chips are way better than the plain salted. You can't even compare to the Nandos that you get in South Africa.

Always a lovely visit! Manager and staff are fab!

Food was cold, sat on the pass for 10 minutes due to no staff. Chicken was tough as old boots, never again!

The food was utterly foul it arrived cold as there were no waiting staff and food was just sitting on the pass,it was clear that there was a problem,we did complain but the young girl did say she would change it but we couldn't wait any longer.I would expect more for nearly fifty pounds tbh.

Amazing food and customer service was spot on 🥰🥰

Had a few 🌶️ chills to use up so had a great time and food was piping hot staff are great got a booth and food came quick !! Had the pita pocket double chicken fantastic well recommend this place for a good meal

Very nice food,good service 👌 I love how fast service . Not wanting long. Fresh,hot and lovely test

Chips were cold but were replaced. Quite quiet

Food is nice, but ordered rice for nandino's but too spicy for kids to eat. Staff was lovely don't get me wrong.

It takes a lot to impress me with food, 1st time in Nando's...Well done.. with the meal and service, food was very tasty was hot as in cooked hot not spicy had the medium heat, chips were so good, chicken was very tasty and fell off the bone. Will be calling in again for sure.

Very nice food and great customer service. We had the whole chicken- sharing plater with four sides. My compliments to the chef... we really enjoyed our meal and we couldn't have made it better ourselves. Customer service was above and beyond from the whole team working here, a shout out to Katie who made very good recommendations and was very informative regarding the food. Her super friendly attitude is credit to the Nandos company. Thanks again:)

Lack of flavour Cold burger Not like before If I knew would go to kfc tasty and good value for money.

Always courteous always a smile go early and waste no time waiting for your meal Never had anything not what was ordered Great crew

The best grilled chicken it's actually spicy 🔥 (something you don't get very much in England) and very flavourful it's a great place it's also halal

We had a lovely experience being our first time eating here. The waiter explained everything to us and the app was really easy to use for ordering our food and drinks. We ordered a platter for two with ciders and it came to just over £35. The chicken was tender, and very rightly spiced for my delicate taste buds. They have an array of other spicy sauces for those less delicate. Obviously a very popular restaurant as we queued (less than ten minutes) to get in but only had a short wait for our food. We did have a problem with a knife shortage when we collected our cutlery but your staff quickly rectified that who I must say never stopped the whole time we were in there, hats off to you all, great job.

Just typical Nando's, can't really fault it.

My first time at Nandos. Food was nice. My son ordered chicken thighs. A short time after service, the waitress came with one more thigh as one on my son's plate had been deemed too small. That was very good.

Staff were great and so was the food, think the attention to details could be looked at though, menus covered in sauce from previous customers, salt shakers were empty on our table and 3 of the surrounding tables, nothing major wrong with the place but it's the little things that can give someone the ick

Was there last night everything was excellent for greeter receiving food and the food best Nando’s very impressed ps and your Scottish manager was lovely 😎

It was a visit at 28 January. Good thing is I have spoke to the staff and I managed to get refund for the mashed potatoes and the corn, that makes me feel better about this place. However, I think this visit worth to put a review on for the public to see, since not everyone is comfortable with complaining/giving feedback to the staff like that. My food was supposed to be 5 wings with 2 sides, mashed potatoes and corn. The mash came out completely dried, and the corn looks smaller than my fist (my hand is smaller than average). It was definitely not worth the price as in £11.95. The picture looks better than irl.

Big shameeee Our food came in 50minutes and frozen cold :/ I came in to eat fresh and hot but disappointed..!!!

Was made to feel incredibly comfortable here, great food and lovely staff!

Food was perfect. Lovely woman serves us

Brilliant service, second to none, all staff were very polite, on the ball, **perfect** staff are a credit to the company. Thank you 😊

Staff friendly, food delicious 😋 love how you can order and pay all through the app so quick service!

Usual decent food however daughter found a piece of plastic in her coleslaw.

Quality clean food at a good price!!!

Great chicken cooked to perfection with unlimited drinks marvellous

Had to wait a little while to be seated and served at the till dues to very little staff although being quite empty. Food was good as always

asked for a chicken burger plain and I got a Chicken burger with Relish, Sauce And it was rushed so we asked for a plain and it come out quickly we then gobbled it up with strarvation we are at table 5

Delicious meal at Nando’s today, excellent service ( especially Lewis, our waiter) great atmosphere, friendly staff

My son wanted to add they didn’t have any tea spoons when he asked and they were short on ice. Food was nice as usual.

Nice food and friendly helpful staff.

Dine in at Nando’s metro Center staff was so helpful and friendly especially Cristina who really showed fantastic customer care love her smile and she so helpful and accommodating well done to metrocentre Nando’s team. Thank you for a good experience with you all.

What better place to go before the movies than Nando’.s.. was our thoughts. Upon arriving with idle time to munch of some peri chicken thighs and halloumi fries we entered the chicken palace. A young team of staff were at the helm, subtly distracted by their passing mates in the mall but none the less a table was shown and orders taken. Halloumi sticks to start fresh off the grill… no quarrels here but who’d have known the wait we’d endure. After 35 minutes our show time was looming and no finger licking Chicken in sight. After asking one of the staff about our prolonged wait… her eyes rolled to Jupiter and back as she said she’d check. Hoorah chicken arrived, however our showtime had stated so inhalation of food begun. Not quite the relaxed evening in our Monday best. Nando’s seemed to lack the management for their staff, with standards slipping and no napkins in the vicinity. Next time we’ll get our steps in and travel to Blue mall to make it on time to catch the movie.

……from a big corporate brand. There is a load of choices in Gatesheads Metrocentre to have fast food, as well as Nandos, Big Luke’s and other well known brands as well as coffee shops. My friend and I chose Nandos for lunch and it was as expected, clean, good service and nice food. If you like chicken, great, if not, maybes try elsewhere. We both enjoyed our meal without being overawed.

Really disappointed as they forgot some of our order! Waited over 20minutes for our desserts which never came, got a lot of sour faces from the employees obviously waiting for us to go. Normally love Nandos but I’m seriously disappointed.

Visited yesterday in a large group of 15. Ordered family platter and a number of burgers and sides. We were told food would take 30 minutes as they were busy, but we didn't mind waiting knowing it would be fresh. Unbelievably, we found a few frozen fries in our peri peri chips, not sure how they got there! Burgers were undercooked, and a number of us ended up with mild food poisoning. Once the food was served, not a single member of staff came to check on us, which is also really poor. No one was available to raise our complaint with. Won't be eating at this restaurant again unfortunately.

We ordered 3 burgers and one full platter, Chicken was fine but the burgers and fries was undercooked even i found couple of frozen fries in my plates such a horrible experience 3 of us got bad stomach and food poisoning such a disgusting food we ever had. Never going back there again.

Really nice experience friendly staff food isn't too much to ride home about asides that really decent

Family of 6, seated immediately. Greeter very friendly and pleasant. Ordered food via QR code, very easy to do. Service quick and great food. I’d mistakenly ordered coleslaw instead of corn, but staff brought out corn at no extra charge, we were so grateful.

Typical Nandos. Good food, fast service & friendly staff. Just wish they would sell tea & coffee.

Unfortunately after we ordered our meal, we got told that the fryer wasn't working and we would have to wait for 25 minutes for our food. However we did get to choose a starter of our choice for free during our wait. I chose Olives and our Waitress piled the bowl full them!

Staff were friendly but the food didn't meet the bench mark. 1st meal came cold which the staff was happy enough to replace but the 2nd meal arrived missing the garlic bread. Reported it was missing and it never arrived.

I visited your restaurant yesterday with my partner and kids and was not impressed with the food or service. I ordered a double chicken burger and what i got was a small hard single chicken breast cut in half. The staff made no attempt to check up on us which lead me to go looking for them as i found hairs in my food, i found staff huddled together chatting and even observed one cuddling the othere, complaining they were tired. This was happening on the restaurant floor wile customers were left . We spent over 40pound to be given hairy food and observe child like behaviour in your staff. I will never eat at your restaurant again and will have no problem informing others of my experience. Staff need better trained on customer service and food hygiene.

Absolutely mega expense portion sizes of tiny never again Wetherspoons better value

Absolutely disgusting place. Had to wait 40 min for substandard food. While we was waiting 3 different customers asked for a refund and lefted without food. I Will never go there again. 100%. Not sure how a chain such as this can operate like this??? Management!!!! Shocking place absolutely shocking.

We are on holiday in the area and had a day at the metrocentre; the kids wanted to go to Nandos for early dinner before heading back to our holiday cottage. We were shown to our table, managed to order on the phone after scannign the barcode. Empty Drinks glasses arrived 5 or so minutes later for bottomless fillups, and Food arrived 10 minutes or so after that? We all enjoyed our chicken in various shapes and sizes, sides of chips, rice, veg and other bits, all hot and tasty. We love the sweetcorn. I like the different spicy sauces to keep everyone happy! Found the staff friendly and the facilities clean. I would visit again without hesitation which is about the highest praise I can offer.

First time at Nando's very good.

Being a vegetarian . I have a mushroom and Halloumi pitta. It was lovely. Service was spot on. Yeah highly recommended.

Goof service nice food bit pricey but nice

Quick service good food, what you expect from Nandos really

Wow! Excellent customer service.

Brilliant food, Brilliant atmosphere

Haven't been for years, so as a treat whilst shopping, let's go. Very expensive for 3 of us, where was crispy skin ? Bit slimey, couldn't eat the chicken wings as an extra, poor quality food, nothing like it was years ago when I enjoyed my 1st one, definitely has changed, nothing worth talking about, not going back in a rush.

Wait time around 15 mins before getting a table. I would prefer the scanning of the QR code and joining a virtual queue. Normally a busy restaurant, but food is served quite quickly, although o have had to ask for desert to be bought to the table on 2 previous occasions.

Rwgular nandos, but dead busy place, most of the times waiting to get in. The plates are too small for kids. Every time Food is just warm and chips soggy and not the first time this happened.

Never have any stock in. Management are running the place terribly. Portions are tiny compared to other nandos and the staff are running around clueless with what to do.

This is my favourite restaurant

The concept is really cool that you can choose your type of peri peri but you can feel that the chicken is not fresh but frozen. Also the sides were really poor of quality. One guy of the staff was really nice, I appreciated it.

Forgot me order sat here for 50 minutes filled me self up on Coke 👍🏼

The place was packed, but they brought the food over quickly and it was piping hot.

2 chicken burgers and chips kids burger and chips 3 drinks -£40 Very expensive and food is worse they kicked me off the website for leaving a bad review half way through Chicken was dry as well as the bun chips were really dry First time at the place didn't help us

Who dosen't love a cheeky Nando's? The app wasn't working properly for ordering at the table so had to go to the counter ..1st world problems. Good food, food came quickly even though they were busy.

That was my first time to Nando's and I have never thought Nando's could be so delicious before! What a pity I'm just a tourist living in US and I don't know what's the mext time to Nando's but I will miss the taste for sure!

Food was just warm and paid 8.50 for chicken thighs by them selves and a chicken sharing platter for 25 quid cost nearly 40 quid for it all and was not impressed at all for the amount of chicken we got was an absolute rip off for warm food and it wasn't even busy

Very friendly and helpful staff with the usual good quality food

Me and my husband come here at least once a month and always leave with big smiles and full tummies! Our waitress Emily (?) didn’t quite catch her name was so lovely and attentive and knew the menu inside out! Thoroughly recommend!

They had a pice of paper at the reception with what they had ran out of, thankfully nothing I was looking for!

Worth the budget but portion is quite small. The taste is exceptional!! The forgot some orders though so heads up on what you order 😅

The problem with ordering everything online at your table is that is easy to make a mistake and almost impossible to rectify it. The member of staff that said they would see to it was never seen again. The food was a little disappointing compared to other Nando's.

Your typical nando outlet , with halal chicken option

Helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere. Gorgeous food .

Very slow service! 30mins waiting for our meal, it ruined my daughter's birthday celebrations. The atmosphere wasn't pleasant either. We were offer an extra plate of dessert though to compensate for waiting even longer for the Afters. Terrible service!

Enjoyed my chicken wrap and chips Wrap was too much so was given a box and carrier bag to bring it home so I had it with a salad for my tea.

This place does not even deserve 1 star, it deserves no stars! We visited on 25th September and we were told we had to order using the app for vard payments and at the till for cash. I downloaded the app asked the waitress how to use it and she had no clue so she asked one of the waiters he told me to scan the QR code on the table which didn't work! So he just said to go to the till. There were no menus so asked the manager for one. And wasn't even given a kids menu! Finally places our order. It was so loud in there you can't here anything. The food came quickly but it was a disgrace the chicken was so dry and overcooked. The chips were not fully done. And the portions were small. Trying to get the attention of any staff for sauces or anything was impossible. We left the majority of our food as it really wasn't nice. We were robbed of £45 and shouldn't expect to receive that type of service or quality of food for that price. Really wish we had waited to be seated somewhere else. Anywhere else would of been better! Spoke with the general manager on the way out and all he did was try and fob me off, whoch was really embarrasing, he was using covid as an excuse and saying they are trying their best, then to me disbelief he offered me a voucher to be sent out in the post but I told him no as we wouldn't want to visit again!

Many menu items weren't available and the service was sub-par.

Great service, friendly staff, food was top quality.

The food from here is usually very nice (I'd stay away from the vegetairriam chicken substitute as it is terrible) and the staff are always friendly and helpful and it isn't too badly priced

I mean it's nandos, it's perfect

The service varied with different waitresses

Busy restaurant, explained the queueing system well and it was quicker than expected, talked through the online ordering system well, food arrived quickly, well presented, tasted good. Nice and clean.

New way of ordering food is useless so we left

Excellent food served rather quickly, highly recommend

Table service and ordering at the table is so easy. Really clean, excellent queuing system which means no waiting in one place, they text you when your table is ready. Members of staff there are so pleasant and smiley, loved it.

A very busy nandos which means the chicken can be amazing... But there are times when chicken is dry, busy times of the day are best

Waiting time is overy 30 mins even when there are few customer.

Lovely staff, lovely food. Glad to be able to eat in again

Staff are amazing. Make you feel so invited, atmosphere is really nice and welcoming, too. Menu is also very great, plenty to choose from.
