Food was ok. Server was disinterested.Sauce is served in sachets due to covid. We was given 1 sachet each which was nowhere near enough. It was difficult to get more.The nandos reward code did not work so the manger said he would add it manually which he did not.

Firstly the staff are so disorganized with regards to their COVID-19 process.Main reason for leaving are a group of other customers, shouting, swearing and making us feel very uncomfortable. When we reported it to staff who who were just standing around saying nothing, they looked at us as it was our fault.Terrible service and environment.

We came to Kingston as a family to drop off our niece who was starting university today, we decided to have a family lunch at Nandos. When we arrived at the restaurant and we greeted at by a staff member and it seemed disorganised and the waiting time one and a half hours to get a table. We ordered our food and drinks, we made one mistake with a glass of wine, white Instead of red, we asked the waiter sorry but can you change it, the waiter then went to his manager who came over and said it wasn't possible as it was our mistake and we have to pay for it, but the way he said it and his manner was very rude and disrespectful. We apologised and said OK we'll have to accept it but we felt uncomfortable and rest of the service was bad. The food was rushed and ok.he said if it was there mistake they would have changed it, seemed petty. Our experience wasn't what we expected and we'll think twice about going back to that particular restaurant again. Hence the the one star.

I love this place and go often but tonight I was really disappointed. We were asked to go upstairs which is just awful. It lacks atmosphere and is cold and for some reason or other our food took ages. I could also see people sitting around me getting really annoyed that there food was also taking an age. Dull, boring and unless you want to eat in your cost I wouldn’t bother.

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. It’s filthy. Doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned since it opened. The toilets are an absolute disgrace. We were put upstairs and I had to put my coat on to eat my food as it was freezing. Ordered a chicken platter which I all fairness was ok. However my chicken burger was anemic and had no spice on at all. No grill marks and dry as heck. Had to have it with a drink to be able to swallow it. The chicken was so small it was 3/4 bread and 1/4 chicken. Chips are soggy and horrid. I would never go back. The walls are filthy on the way up the stairs and I tried not to touch anything. I usually go to Nando’s in New Malden which is much better. Avoid this branch at all costs. The staff seemed to be enjoying their food and a good chat on the table next to me though! Maybe less standing around chatting and more cleaning would be a good idea!

I have been to Nandos plenty of times before, and I am never disappointed. The atmosphere is always great, and it would be advisable to book if you plan to go with large amounts of people... it tends to be packed most of the time. The menu offers a wide variety of food- you can get vegetarian food as well as different selections of chicken, burgers, salads and much more. The portion sizes are great, and not too big. This place is suitable for families, couples, or going solo. Overall, Nandos in Kingston is an amazing place to go to eat good quality chicken. The service is good, and the food comes quickly. There is nothing to complain about... it's nice to eat at Nandos for dinner or lunch!

My family likes Nandos food but delivery for online orders is unpredictable . Ordered online , they said inn 30 min but an hour later no delivery , so called and then it was delivered via Just Eat [ they use their own drivers usually] . There was no survery code to leave feedback [ a just eat receipt ] . They could have said they had no drivers or that it will take an hour and give us the choice , instead , there was no updates or anything . Chips was cold on delivery too .

The takeaway service at Nando’s is dreadful. I arrive later and later as I’m sick of sitting on the leather seat by the till wishing my life away. And still my food is never ready. I waited 20 mins today (after arriving 25 mins later than the collection time). Last time I waited 30 mins (after arriving 15 mins late). When are they going to sort themselves out.

The staff in this place are so helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble for them. The food came out surprisingly quickly despite them being so busy with not a free table anywhere . Table wise we were sat in this crowded place with no room but after seeing our discomfort the staff offered us a much better table. The only problem for us is that the couple next to us were rude and obnoxious but that’s obviously not the staffs fault . We ordered two meals and starters but I left my burger as it wasn’t very nice too dry even when covered in sauce - can’t fault any other food tho it was great

This is my first and last trip to this Nando’s in Kingston. Great venue. Friendly welcome. The food though... I ordered a double chicken burger with fries. Very simple. Came out within 5 minutes. The fries though were limp and barely warm. The bread roll was difficult to cut through. Felt and tasted like it had been frozen before. The chicken was bland. The best part of my meal was the orange juice.... My last two visits to Nando’s in Media Centre in Manchester were underwhelming too. The food was stringy and bland. Never though I’d get to a point where Nando’s was going to be my last choice but that’s how I feel now. You need to up your game, there’s too much choice out there

Arrived at 8pm. Ordered and paid for food. One hour later, food had still not arrived. I complained to someone called Guiseppe, who became extremely rude, abusive and aggressive. He told me he was the manager, although my understanding is that the manager is called Vicky who never seems to be there. He then slapped a twenty pound note on my table, and bundled me out of the restaurant continuing to be aggressive and abusive. I am lodging a complaint via the website and considering legal action against this individual.

We visited a while ago on a Saturday afternoon (it has been some time since our last visit to a Nandos). We have to wait to be seated (tables were free) for ages; the responsibility of seating us passed from one member of staff to another. Finally once we were seated and we had placed our order we waited abut 45 mins for the food to arrive (really small portions). Whilst waiting for our food and throughout our meal we smelt an awful odour - akin to drains. On exit we spoke to staff to let them know, assuming they had no idea, to find out they were well aware of the awful odour and were waiting for it to be remedied - unbelievable. We stressed that they should not sit customers in the area but fell on completely deaf ears. Never again.

One of the few place our whole family can go and enjoy as we all love it. In other places there always ends up one person in our family with a grumpy face that wants to eat elsewhere but not here.. we love the chicken and halloumi starter every time. Planning on trying the coconut ice cream but end up full after the mains so hopefully next time... we've been coming here every month for over a year. Also tired the New Malden branch which has been revamped and looks great too. The Vauxhall one is cool as set in a tunnel so really funky. Good meal evey time! Also love the lemonade as not bubbly and yummy.

Yo soy un gran amante es muy y no podría haber sido más decepcionado con mi experiencia en la calle es muy alta de Kingston. Llegamos al restaurante a las 15:40 pedimos nuestra comida enseguida porque sabíamos lo que queríamos. Estábamos sentados en dos asientos donde podíamos ver a los chefs de cocina y el contador de la comida caliente donde tays cálida". A las 3:55 mi hamburguesa fue colocado en la barra caliente. Como no me quedé encantada esperando la llegada de mi comida y mantienen un ojo de cerca, durante este tiempo una chica que creo que su nombre era "same estera? 'tenía su pelo colgando en toda la comida, donde si las cosas estaban cayendo los platos ella recogería con sus dedos y poner en, ella también estaba tocando su nariz y luego tocar las cosas de nuevo en los platos de la gente! La gota que colmó el vaso fue cuando ella puso toda su mano sobre mi queso halloumi a 'comprobar si estaba caliente", que fue cuando me dijo que si me excusa es mi comida para cambiar antes de que trata. No entonces recibirá nuestra comida hasta las 4:25, así que mi hamburguesa estaba esperando debajo de la barra 'caliente durante media hora. . Sin duda que de envió si no tienes un ticket de aparcamiento a prisa en volver para el servicio a las 4:45, ridículo y sin duda esperar limpieza básica de personal tratar con comida en un restaurante de la cadena popular.

Decidimos comer arriba. El personal que nos encontramos era realmente agradable, quizás porque era tranquilo! La variedad de comida era típico de la "estándar" de Nando, pero tuvimos quejas! Como el restaurante era tranquilo, la comida llegó rápidamente, era caliente, sabroso y, en general, buena relación calidad-precio! Pedimos una variedad de opciones, que compartimos entre nosotros. Como Kingston es una ciudad universitaria, Nando's es popular entre los estudiantes, etc. Así que se pone muy ocupado en algunos momentos! ! Este es el riesgo en determinadas con Nando ciudades!

Family of 5. Our 9 year old son was intimidated in the toilets by some teenagers. Nothing was done by management despite them hearing our son telling us about it.Their behaviour in the restaurant was also poor but they were allowed to continue behaving badly, unchallenged.It was busy so the 25 minute wait for food was sort of expected. However when it finally arrived it was warm at best and dry. Like it had been left under the heater for too long. Corn on the cob was very burnt. We ate it as we were so hungry. Will definitely not return in a hurry, especially when there are so many other options in the surrounding area.

Maybe we are spoilt by the fantastic Nandos we have here in our home city of Lincoln, but this Nandos was shocking! I will start from the beginning...We really fancied Nandos so made a 15-20minute walk in the freezing night to find Nandos-which is miles away from the middle of Kingston (or at least felt like it!) When we got there we were not greeted in anyway by the host, I asked for a table for 4 he simply turned picked up 4 menus and led us to an area where it seemed like they were holding the world record for how many tables you can fit into one small space competition. We sat down and i quickly became annoyed by the staff and public passing by me constantly as I was pretty much sat in the aisle. The table wobbled also and was not big enough for 4. In their defence I asked one waitress if we could move, and she did move us upstairs. The toilets were HURRENDOUS! There was no toilet paper, just hand towels, which were strewn all over the floor. You can not get out of the cubicle without moving behind the door, then opening it then squeezing around it. The lock did not work on my second visit and a lady barged in on me and almost knocked me out! Next there was a member of staff sat down texting in full view of the customers when there was clearly cleaning to be done. The food actually was very good, no complaints at all, but the staff were really rude with exceptionally poor customer service, one lady in particular could not crack a smile. We asked for Military discount and received 10% which although is very generous-but I am sure we recieve more than this in Lincoln - I could be wrong. Next the drinks machine was not working so we had to wait for drinks-when this happened once in Lincoln we got bottles of coke instead. It was absolutly freezing upstairs in there and full of noisy students, I don't mind students generally being from a university city, but these would look you up and down.So positives - the food was true to Nandos standardThe negatives - everything else sorry............

We eat quite a lot of Nandos and this one is by far the best one around here. Despite attractive swaths of people (its always buzzing and super busy) we're always greeted with a friendly face, seated quickly and very happy with the speed and quality of the food. I actually don't know how they keep it so slick, they're certainly very skilled at dealing with hoards of people.So if you're not opposed to a high tempo eating experience and want a good Portuguese-style chicken fix, then this is your spot!

We stopped in for a late dinner. We were still on NY time. My husband and I were having a hard time finding something for our picky 6 year old. We didn't know that you order and they bring you the food so we were a little frustrated waiting. The waiter then advised us. Oh ok. So my husband asked the manager about pizza or mac and cheese, the standard silly American kid food. To no avail. He ended up eating corn (that they took off the cob - HE LOVED IT) and the spicy rice. I guess he felt bad because the manager deeply, deeply discounted our meal. It was unnecessary but such a kind gesture. The food (chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, spicy rice) were fantastic and we ordered the creamiest, tastiest ice cream that I have ever had. The place was quiet. There is a car park around the corner. And it seems like a place that the locals come to and that's always a good thing. So thank you Mr. Manager with the red hair! It was the best meal that we ate while on our short to trip to London. I highly recommend and you are an example of some the really kind people that we met on our short and first trip to England!

The food is on par with most Nando’s, so no complaints there; however, some of the staff are rude.If you want to avoid the student crowd then avoid the location, as one will find students from the local college and university especially during term-time; although they have never been an issue but they do talk loudly.

Nice location and easy to get to even for the none local, and the staff were just out of this world. I have never eaten in such a friendly atmosphere where people appear to be enjoying themselves and enjoying talking to people coming into the restaurant. It was such a welcoming environment and we were made to feel like a regulars. From the counter to the service staff on the floor they were on it and we felt really well looked after. The manager should be proud of this branch and it's staff because you struggle to find good people like this in any service industry these days. The food was excellent but the staff and atmosphere is what made it for me.

Booked a table but ended up being seated in the worst part of the restaurant. Banged my head 3 times on the way to the upstairs seating area - low ceiling/doorway signs totally inadequate. Service was OK, didn't appreciate the attempts to up-sell the order though. Don't see what the fuss is about over Nando's food, although the chicken used was good quality and tasty. Drinks dispensers kept breaking down and running out. The whole experience had a down-market, maximise profit feel to it. Only upside was the waiters willingness to exchange food the children didn't like without charging extra.

Walked to this place from the Bentalls Centre.On arrival was greeted well by host. Told we can sit upstairs. Went up and it was boiling hot (well it was a hot day but I would have thought they would do something to deal with this). Only 1 window was able to open! Told I had to go down to order. I said OK.Ordered 2 Veggie burgers with no mayo and kids had Veggie strips. Person taking order was friendly. I checked the receipt to make sure mayo was not added to order.Went back up and the same girl (who was the host) was now upstairs with the till open! Anyway not a big deal.Waited for our food about 20 minutes and everytime other people came up to sit they were taken back with the heat of the room. They tried to open the windows but they would not budge.Anyway, food came. All OK except 1 Veggie burger had mayo in it. Told the same girl the issue and that I wanted a refund on the burger as I did not have time. To be honest I just did not want to sit up there longer than I needed to because it was so hot. She went to speak with the manager and was told I can have the refund. It would have been nice for the manager to come up and apologise but looks like he/she was not that bothered. Paid by credit card but had no machine to provide the refund so gave refund by cash.To be honest the host girl was very apologetic and gave me the chips for free as they were only going in the bin....and she again apologised on the way out.We eat at Nandos a lot but I probably would not come to this one again.

However when we ordered there was only one person on the till and there was a queue building. When the other person opened the other till I was the next person to order but the woman behind me thought that I had pushed in.

Nandos is an all time favourite of mine. Food is fantastic depending on your appetite of course. If you can put away food then half a chicken with mash or rice you can't go wrong. It's good flavour wise as you can choose exactly what you prefer. Mango and Lime is beautiful dont't dish it till you try it. The sauces WOW wild herb is a favourite of mine. The starters olives are beautiful literally heaven! Drinks are unlimited so perfect and if you like alcohol sangria is a must with fresh fruits simply mouthwatering.

We go to Nando's almost every 2 months. This place has always been very good but for the second time we had chicken which was pink to red inside. This gave me tummy upset and kept me away from work the next day. I still love Nando's so from now on we need to cut through the big part of the chicken before eating it.

As nandos go, Kingston is a lovely place to eat.Yes, nandos are overpriced for what you actually get and for the same money you could eat elsewhere in Kingston for the same money.Also the choice of deserts as a whole are not brilliant at nandos.Refill drinks offer good value for money are a good idea for those who like a soft drink and who are driving.Staff I found to be helpful and friendly.Bad comments regarding the building itself, you have to disregard as it is clearly an old building. History of Kingston upon Thames goes way back - a few hundred years so not all buildings are new and modern.

Absolute favorite Nando's I went to while studying abroad. The building is old and rustic and just so much fun. Always very busy, however, so I learned pretty quickly to try and go at the down times.

Nando's is Nando's so no complaints about the food here.The service however is the worst I have ever experienced. Orders were wrong, table of four with two receiving food 5 mins before the others by which time ours was cold. Sides were forgotten and by the time they did arrive we had finished the main.Manager arrived after complaint to the waiter and were offered a measly £3.50 off the bill! I will never ever return to this branch again!

Trust Kingston Nandos for a decent Nandos meal. The food is simply Nandos, but the staff are always very friendly, and being a small restaurant means the kitchen is not over-stretched. A decent serving speed after watching a performance at the Rose.

Personally I can't visit England without going to nandos. The staff are generally quite friendly but the seating leaves quite a bit to be desired. The chicken is awesome, the sauces vary from mild to seriously spicy. If you haven't been yet you are missing out!!!

Nandos is a good venue if you want a quick cheap meal that's better and healthier than the other options in a similar price bracket. I am not a huge chicken fan but there is one beef and a couple of veggies options on the menu.On the downside it can get very busy and can be a bit noisy as a large percentage of the clientele are family's with young children or teenagers.

I was really impressed with the service and the choice of food at this Nando's. I tried the Quinoa salad with chicken - it was very nicely done and adding sauce was a perfect combination. Other family members tried more traditional Nando's dishes and really enjoyed them. Bottomless drinks are always appreciated in the Uk as they are so rare, but make eating out with the family so straightforward. Thank you Nando's !We dined upstairs again (see photo) which made a nice change. Service when ordering was excellent for a such a busy place!

We visited Nandos Kingston for the first time, we eat frequenly in various Nandos location, and I dunno why my husband said that their chicken is much tastier that others, which confusingly I find he is right, the service is fast, as in fast, As soon as my husband finished ordering, the chicken is served immediately, " its here already?" Thats all i was able to say, overall we are happy costumers!! We might frequently visit this branch as my son is going to Uni there.

Everytime I visit Kingston, this is a must visit place for me. I would say not so cheap, but juicy tender chicken is something I have only found here in the locality. the ambience is noisy, as its always a busy place. But the stewards are helpful, and you get a place to dine in within 5 mins. I generally order 1/4 Chicken with 2 side, and relish it.

I don't get nandos, the prices are through the roof and the food is boring and badly made. £12 for a dry lump of chicken, cheapy side dish and no table service, you must be kidding me. I'll never go back.

I ventured in to Nandos for the first time in a number of years as I had a 20% discount voucher as part of the Kingston food festival. Nandos is quick, food is ok and good value. The other customers were mainly families or teenagers so it was quite loud.

It's a Nandos - what can I say...it does what it does very well. We've been coming here since it opened and not had a dud meal yet. Don't come here if you want a quiet, intimate meal with full table service. It's bustling, it's friendly and the food is well-cooked and reasonably priced. We brought some overseas visitors and they loved the whole concept and enjoyed the chicken and livers. The place was full on a Monday night and the service was friendly and efficient.

I have dined at many Nandos in the UK and abroad so know what to expect with regards to variety and style of food. I love their food that is why I return.The Kingston branch served food of the standard of most of the other nandos I have been too. No problems there.However, this particular Nandos has a glass roof covering what was probably a courtyard in the original building. In the sun of a spring afternoon it was unbearably stuffy. If they have air-con it does not work.That, plus the way all the diners are jammed in makes it even worse. We were so close to our neighbours I could hear his jaws working as he ate.We relocated upstairs. It was a bit more spacious and slightly less stuffy, but there was an adults birthday party of senior citizens up there and the noise levels were too much. We stuffed our food down and left a.s.a.p.The conditions did not make for a relaxing meal.

Food can't be faulted but watch out when going to the toilet upstairs - seems hard to do this without banging your head! There are a number of places to catch you out - wear a helmet is the safest option if over 6 foot tall!

Ideal para compartir una cena informal con amigos. El pollo es el protagonista aquí , los entrantes o acompañantes del pollo son bastante sanos y frescos. Para gente que le guste el picante es el lugar ideal. Estaba todo muy bueno.

Went here with my partner after visiting the uni and the town! It is situated in a lovely destination, right near the river and the shops! The actual building is lovely, staff were very accommodating and the chicken was more succulent then any other nandos I've visited! Great store, will be returning when uni starts for sure!

So I have been visiting Nando's for years, excellent branches in Walton, Brighton, London etc. but this branch is SO DISAPPOINTING! I convinced my sister who came from abroad, and who never visited Nando's before, that she will love Nando's as much as I do, so we went to the Kingston branch for the first time... and it was so poor, the chicken is soooooo dry and tasteless, burnt and SMALL..the place looks horrible and dirty. I promised her that it is just this Nando's that is this bad as we have never before experienced bad Nando's.so few weeks later, we thought hey it might have been just a bad day and just maybe our chicken... so we went again (WHYYYY?!) again, very very burnt, supersmall, and dry chicken.. WHY DID WE COME BACK HERE?never will I come back here, and they should actually shut down or maybe learn from the Nando's in Walton? get some people out there to teach them?PLEASE!

Although the food at Kingston Nando's is as you would expect and fast service/ self service. But the atmosphere is no where near as conducive as Nando's New Malden. Worth the trip Nando's NM as it has a great atmosphere lots more space and great modern decor. Sorry Kingston NM beats you hands down. Thank you Nando's we have no need to drive into Kingston anymore.

We hadn't planned our day well and ended up needing somewhere to eat fast but did not want the bog standard fast food. We turned up at 7ish and the were really busy but they asked us to wait as they were clearing tables. We were seated quickly and I ordered straightaway as I knew what we wanted. The food came quickly and was great and we left. Lovely food and definitely great service. I have had a bad experience in this branch, however the manager mad it up to us and in him doing this its meant I've revisited since and will carry on visiting!

If you don't know what nandos is, just go and experience it. So many different choices on the menu, cheap food, quick service and polite staff. Can't go wrong. One of my favourites and especially the kingston branch.

I have been going to nandos for many years and have been to numerous establishments all over the country. On this particular occasion I could not have been more disappointed with my experience at the kingston upon Thames branch. My friends and I were waiting for over an hour and 20 minutes for our food, this would not have been a problem if we were told there was going to be a long wait. I always rate nandos as being quick service which is one of the reasons it is so appealing, so you can imagine my disappointment. We all ordered bottomless drinks, and had one of each from the drinks available including coca cola, fanta, sprite etc. these were all flat! We made this apparent to a number of the staff members who said the pump had been changed and it was all sorted, but the drinks all remained flat. When the food eventually arrived, the disappointment continued. My friends halloumi wrap was mainly filled with lettuce, barely any halloumi to be seen and my garlic bread resembled an over cooked crisp more than anything. To end on a positive note, there was one member of staff that was extremely helpful and apologetic, although there was no mention of trying to rectify with any compensation etc. We will be avoiding this branch in future.

The room was freezing cold sat right next to the door that was always kept open. The whole felt like a fridge . when sitting down and ordering it took over 1 hour to get food. People sitting next to us there food was all raw and was taken back to be recooked. Our family became paranode checking our chicken. For a first time ever having nandos we didn't order enough. Food was very small. We just wanted to get home as the coldness of the room made us feel depressed. We were all so hungry that we went to tesco near by and got a big new York cheesecake. Overall nandos is just hyped and will never be returning to any nandos restaurants. Food is over rated its just chicken. People who don't like chicken you at the wrong place.

The waffles should be light and fluffy but the waffles we have had were tough and chewy! All I could taste was flour! The waffle place that can NOT make waffles, wow! Also everyone got their food at different times so we were not able to eat together! Really bad organisation and the kitchen looked messy! I’m very disappointed!! THE WORST WAFFLES I HAVE EVER HAD! What a waste of money!!
