Grumpy waitresses, food was served cold and toilets were dirty (not cleaned). Nandos is normally a nice experience, but please avoid this particular branch if you can, seems to be full of people that don't really want to be doing their job.

Usually OK but in general you have no idea how long it will take to prepare your food. It would help to add a screen with the number of orders in the queue so I could tell if it's worth waiting.l at busy times. Currently waiting 50 minutes and still no idea when the food will arrive. Severs are doing the best they can. It's ala problem for the head office to solve

The food at Nandos is always tasty but I think I've hit my limit with the "order online, not my problem" approach to service that has infected so many places these days. I arrived with my elderly parents and we were seated fine, but the waitress didn't provide any menus. When I asked for a menu, she just looked annoyed and said "the menu is on the website". I asked again if she could give us a menu for me dad to read and she grudgingly went to the large stack of menus and gave me two to share between three. I am not sure why menus are such a precious commodity. We ordered on the website, which was fine, and I ordered a box of pastel de nata tarts, but the waitress then brought these tarts out on a plate first, before our starter, as if we would like to eat dessert first. When I asked for the box, she said they didn't have any of the boxes on the website, so in the end I had to take them in a takeaway box. Then she brought the drinks over and left the tray on our table so I had to go return that to her colleague. The food was fine in the end, though the chicken was a bit lukewarm. I don't want to single out any particular person as they're all probably paid quite badly and having a rubbish time. I think it's more that there was a generally sad atmosphere to this place compared to other Nandos I've visited. It probably doesn't help that it's in a quiet upstairs bit of a half-derelict shopping centre, with a repossessed shop opposite, in what seems to be another failed development by the City of London. There are other much better Nandos to visit than this one, and it's a shame that this usually consistent chain is having problems. I hope they can sort it out, or else just move to a less depressing location and give everyone there a fresh start.

Worst Nando’s we have been to. Went up to pay for the food after we paid the staff told us that it would actually take 25 minutes to cook the chicken and if that was ok, even though we’d paid already. Then, my meal came out 15 minutes before my friend’s meal. When my friend’s meal finally came out the chicken was not well done as requested so had to send it back. The halloumi was also undercooked. The drink machines were not working and the coke was flat. On top of that there were no straws so it was difficult to drink (paid £8 for the drinks)! The meal was definitely not worth the £43 we paid for two people! Because of all the issues we spoke to someone (not sure if they were management) and they asked for my details saying they would send me a voucher for the full amount the next day. It’s now been 5 days and we haven’t received any communication. Wouldn’t recommend going here at all.

Despite having an 11am opening time I hsve on more than one occasion over thr last month got there for 11 and been made to wait up to 25 mins before the stores open, being a workman with an hour break this is never ideal, infact everyone waiting will be in the same boat wasting their lunch bresk waiting for a store to open that already should be.

Waited for 40mins for my order on a weekday Wednesday night when the restaurant is not full. Asked for my order and they said they don't have it! I've obviously paid for it via the app and have proof of receipt. The waitress just drew a blank and walked away. Horrendous service and never coming back!!

They have a wide selection of sauces available (and you’re going to need them since the chicken isn’t that heavily seasoned). The sides also need some help in the seasoning/flavor department. Otherwise it’s a decent lunch spot

Have been to loads of different nandos my whole life and generally I am a massive fan. This was the worst by far. 1/4 chicken was burnt and dry. 5 chicken wings were burnt and dry. All tasted of charcoal. Took 30 minutes to arrive at 6pm even though the place was not very busy at all. Very disappointed!

Such a shame, as someone who has been to many Nandos I was horrified by the service received at one change! Waited 30mins for food that arrived cold and then told, for them to make it again we have to wait a further 30mins or they can give a refund!!!! I couldn't believe it. After asking to speak to the manger and told they were coming over, waited a further 15 mins to be told the manager is too busy! Is this customer service! Totally let down as was out for a special family meal and it ruined the evening. My mum took her medication ready to eat to then be told a further wait or refund! In the end we managed to get our food 80mins after ordering!!!! Never will I return to this branch. Its not even about the cold food as these things happen but its how your dealt with after, the service and resolution to the problem! The manager and team here scored 0!!!!!!!!! So let down! Embarrassed this is Nandos as a loyal customer the team at this branch are letting the chain down!

I order a 10 peri peri chicken wings with 2 regular sides (chips & creamy mash) and bottomless coca-cola, the spices I chose Hot totally is 20.65£. Because this is my first try Nando's and do not sure if I can eat extra-hot, but after eating I found 'hot' is not spicy at all, maybe I should try the 'extra-hot' next time. The staff here are friendly, when I spilled my cola on the table and all over the floor, they came to help me immediately and let me change my seat. However, from the food perspective, I think Nando's tastes... just so-so, and the price is also a little expensive. After all, this is a chain restaurant, in some local quick-service restaurant you can get the same size and better taste peri peri chicken in a cheaper price.

My dining experience at Nando's was nothing short of fantastic. The manager set the tone with a warm welcome, showcasing a genuine interest in ensuring guests felt at home. This personal touch elevated the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff, without exception, were exceptionally friendly throughout my visit. Their attentiveness and willingness to accommodate any requests added a delightful touch to the dining experience. It was evident that they took pride in creating a positive and friendly environment for patrons. Now, let's talk about the food – it was exceptional. The flavors at Nando's never fail to impress. Whether it was the perfectly grilled chicken or the array of delicious sides, each dish showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality and taste. The attention to detail in preparation and presentation did not go unnoticed, making every bite a true delight. In conclusion, Nando's not only delivered on its reputation for delicious, flame-grilled cuisine but also excelled in creating a welcoming atmosphere. The manager and staff's dedication to customer satisfaction made my visit memorable, and I'll undoubtedly be returning for more of their fantastic food and hospitality.

Myself and my partner arrived at this Nandos Friday 24th Nov 23. We ordered via the app as advised by the waitress. 30 (!) minutes later no food had arrived (the restaurant had no more than 8 customers in it total). The team were focusing solely on delivery app orders. We watched our meat sit in the window for 15+ minutes with no sides. No communication from the staff to us whatsoever. The food finally comes… it was ABYSMAL. Stone cold, old, the bottom of the sides (hard cold rice, shocking small portions of chips). FYI we only ordered 1/4 chicken, rice chips and a wrap. We send the food back as it’s shocking. Same process happens again, the chicken and wrap is fired by the grill team immediately even though the girl (who 100% needs to be removed from the station and retrained) is not ready with the sides. Our food sits again for 15 minutes until we finally receive it. The waitress give us ZERO apology and attitude ??!! Manager too busy flirting with the waitress to care about anything going on. We were not even offered a complimentary dessert, refund etc. Wouldn’t recommend and the owner needs to look into this franchise. P.S see photo, we finished the 2nd round of food and nobody had even come to ask if all was well with the LATE refired food. Wouldn’t have bothered to write all of this if the experience wasn’t so shockingly bad.

We weren’t served so I can’t comment on the food; however, if the plates and plates of food left on the pass were an indication, I think it’s safe to say it wouldn’t have been great. There was NO ONE on front of house. Not even a server, literally not a soul. We stood waiting at the door for a good 10 minutes waiting to be shown a table; we got nothing and left along with the people behind us in the queue. The restaurant was dead quiet, people were waiting sitting at tables with no food, it was embarrassing. Easily the worst Nando’s experience I’ve had and I’ve been to a lot. This was on 25/11/23 at around 17:00.

Having order saw a small table for two booth available I asked if possible to move and the staff member was very courteous and hospitable despite being very busy himself rapidly prepared the table for us and we moved. The food came shortly after he had obviously also made a note on our food ticket table change.

We booked the London Afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. It was a wonderful experience and a fabulous selection. The sandwiches were lovely and fresh. The scones were very tasty, and then the special sweet treats shaped in iconic london buildings looked amazing. You are also spoilt for choice with a selection of teas and coffees. My top tip is to see what the london buildings are made of .. flavour wise, as there may be something else on one of the other menus you'd prefer. After we almost finished up, they started to play happy birthday and proceeded to bring me out a separate mini birthday cake. Very nice touch. They do takeaway boxes, which was lucky as we couldn't finish everything. Hazel, our server, was great at explaining how it all worked, and they had a selection of versions of the menu. Vegan, vegetarian, as well as gluten-free, and a kids selection. She was very attentive without being intrusive. Very polite. Would highly recommend this lovely treat for a birthday, etc.

An meinem Abreisetag aus London wollte ich mir eine leckeres Sonntagsfrühstück gönnen und steuerte The Pickled Hen an. Nachdem man die Speisekarte neben der Kasse endlich gefunden hatte, bestellte ich ein Full English Breakfast und unter anderem einen Apfelsaft. Die Nachfrage ob ich darin Eis haben möchte, verneinte ich. Keine Minute später kam der Saft, natürlich mit 3 Eiswürfeln darin. Die Bedienung zeigte sofort auf das Märchen an der Theke, aber ich behielt den Saft. Das Full English kam recht zügig aber alles war nur lauwarm. Besonders die vielen Pilze hatten bestenfalls Zimmertemperatur - ich freue mich schon auf meinen Magen auf dem Rückflug. Der griechische Joghurt mit Früchten hatte eher die Konsistenz von geschlagener Sahne. Als dann die Bedienung fragte ob alles in Ordnung sei, bemängelte ich die Temperatur des Essens sofort. Aber zurück kam nur ein gequältes Lächeln. Es scheint also niemanden zu interessieren, kein Angebot es nochmals aufzuwärmen oder Ähnliches. Dafür, dass hier auch noch ein Hotel angeschlossen ist (die Gäste aßen vom Frühstücksbuffet - kann die Qualität daher nicht beurteilen) war es ein absolute Enttäuschung. Nicht nur von der Qualität, sondern auch wie damit umgegangen wird. Ich würde niemamdem empfehlen hier einen Fuß rein zu setzen.

Terrible service! We waited half an hour for the menu, another almost an hour for the meal and at the end it turned out that there was no coffee because the machine was broken!!!

Table booked for 17:45 for a concert which began at 19:45 - as I thought two hours would give us enough time to eat and get to our seats in plenty of time. However, I had not banked on the poor service and bad food. The £44 bottle of white wine was warm not cold. The starters were cold not warm. The main course was not quite as expected. The menu said “Roasted crown of Norfolk turkey, apricot and sage stuffing, root vegetables, Brussels sprouts, chestnuts, garlic and herb roasted potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets, sherry jus” – the turkey roulade with the stuffing was fine, the roast potatoes were fine, however there were no “pigs in blankets”, there was just one “pig in a blanket” all the other vegetables looked as if they had all been put together in a food processor and blitzed – so there were no identifiable individual vegetables. My dessert (a delicious-sounding “Chocolate orange, chocolate mousse, burnt orange jam”) tasted of nothing. My husband’s dessert (supposedly “Mulled wine poached pear, vanilla ice cream, chocolate and pistachio crumb”) was so hard that he had to cut it with a steak knife! When asked if we wanted our (included) coffee with or after dessert, we both said “after”. The coffee then appeared “before” the dessert. The waiter and maitre d’ were not communicating with each other, which meant that they were both asking us separately if we wanted water, order drinks, give our food orders etc. The service was very slow and confusing. The first bill included a £26 tip, which I declined to pay as the service was so bad. The bill was taken away, the service charge removed and the cost of the desserts was removed, but we were kept waiting for about 20 minutes until the revised bill was returned, by which time the concert was about to start. They insisted we were given a free glass of wine to make up for their lapses. Afterwards there was a horrendous queue to use the loos, so we just managed to get to our seats with about 30 seconds to spare before the concert started - having made everyone in the row stand up in order to get to our seats. Thus we finally arrived in our seats very cross and completely stressed, which completely spoiled the atmosphere for us. I found the actual space a bit like a high-ceilinged barn – lacking in atmosphere and not the intimate, expensive restaurant I had expected. I would recommend anyone else planning to eat at the RAH, to eat at Verdi, where we had previously had an excellent meal with extremely fast service and give Elgar a miss.

It's been 8 years since I was last at BoDeans and it did not disappoint. The service was great, gentleman serving me was friendly and inviting. The food was brilliant. Everything tasted fresh and how proper BBQ should be. Would definitely recommend the burnt end. The atmosphere was quiet and chilled for the time I was there with people talking and football on the TV. Ideal.
