Nando's Southampton - WQ Leisure in Southampton

Great service. Attentive staff, nothing too much trouble! I ordered the wrong dish, but they happily changed it for me. Will be coming back again soon!

Brilliant all round with a good seating plan.

Chicken breast dishes are the main dish. It's light and delicious.

I have never ever been so a nandos so shocking, like the chicken portions were awful here and so dry! Was given a replacement and still the same, and left me with the old one too, which i had to ask to be taken away myself! The picture here shows the chicken under the skin, rock hard! Like what!!!!!???? This was the replacement, the first also looked like this. Awful experience, every other nandos I've visited is amazing. So will bot be back to this one. Kids chicken meals also the same.

We stopped here for some lunch after the shops, lovely staff, clean & attentive. Food was prompt & TASTY 😋

Love this place, staff amazing THANK You for making my visit

Welcoming and friendly staff, prompt food service after ordering on app. The chicken breast was cooked brilliantly and was very tender, complimented perfectly with a couple sides and hot sauce.

I just wanted to leave a review to thank and acknowledge the fantastic service I recieved today here. Lottie was exceptionally helful, personable and approachable. The food was delicious and promptly made so thank you to the kitchen staff as well. 5/5

Birthday treat for granddaughter. Lovely staff. Food was great. We all enjoyed our visit

Food takes ages to arrive on table very slow service in the evening!!!

Excellent food and sauces and good service. The restaurant was very good with my brother’s food allergies.

Me and my girl are celebrating our anniversary and after a long day decided to eat at this nandos Got the same thing we always do the boneless Shara and towards the end of the meal the chicken smelt really funky I ended up leaving the last of my food told one of the workers "that the chicken was hard and smelt like its gone off" and that it wasn't a big deal and not to worry and that I just wanted them to check Anyway later that night me and my girl both have stomach issues both have thrown up

Great service, food is really good. Nice atmosphere

Had dinner today at this Nandos. The service was excellent. We ordered chicken wings, chips and sweet corn. Chicken wings were not freshly cooked so that wasn’t good enough.Food came to the table really quick.

Perfect, honestly best service I’ve had at a restaurant for a long time. All of the employees were spot on and the food was 10/10. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area. Love Nandos, thank you.

The Currasco burger was nice but the bun was burnt. The half chicken was dry and seemed bland. Not enough marinade. The bottomless coca cola zero was totally flat no fizz. The service was very good and professional.

Amazing food with an amazing service! Highly recommend! Shout out to the nandinos! 💯

Lovely food and staff lady on the door who seated us was very happy and lovely to my kids will return!

Excellent food, atmosphere and service! Very friendly personnel!!

Great customer service over the phone from Daniel, thank you very much.

Visiting Southampton so this was my first stop for a meal after a long drive from Stoke-on-Trent Received a warm welcome from Drew .Customer service was second best to none Well-done young man keep up the good customer care ,You will go far

Perfect, honestly best service I’ve had at a restaurant for a long time. All of the employees were spot on and the food was 10/10. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area. Also the new saka sauce is wicked so also would recommend a try.

Breast in burger wasn't grilled like they cook the thighs, sent my burger back as it was just smothered in sauce, 2nd one came back the same - all I could taste was the sauce which was too spicy for me. I gave up and gave the burger to my son. I had a couple of his thighs and they were grilled properly. Waitress confirmed at the end that the chicken breasts used in the burgers are cooked on a different grill to the thighs and more basted. It's a shame as it ruined my experience which was a birthday treat for my daughter. I have had a nandos before and the chicken was grilled properly.

We were in town and fancied a nandos for lunch, as we both wanted a chicken it worked out slightly cheaper to go for a sharing platter of a whole chicken with 2 large sides of fries and rainbow slaw. Chicken was nicely cooked so it was still tender and mildly spiced (lemons and herb) we could then help ourselves to the great selection of hot sauces to spice it to our tastes. Chips are nothing special but the rainbow slaw is exceptional, refreshing, crunchy with a lovely tang from the dressing. Good for a quick and satisfying lunch

I placed a £50 order on the nandos app and only received my drinks and dip. When I finally got through to customer service they wanted to give me a partial re fund for the stuff I was missing meaning I'd be left with two dips and no food. Great solution they wouldn't offer me a full refund and couldn't send it out for re delivery it has been handled applingly and I certainly will not be doing this again

Loved everything I ate. Enjoyed the unlimited refill on fizzy. Fast service.

Always guaranteed 💯 standard quick service and no frills. Simple to order online or the App. Collect points (chilli) and get free meals.

I was served by Tom today who was an absolute star! A warm welcome on entering the restaurant, making sure I had everything I needed and always smiling, every Nando’s branch needs a Tom, will definitely be coming back because of Tom! 5 stars all the way!

Our family including newly wed son and wife died at Nandos, West Quay leisure, Southampton today. I would like to give a special mention to all the people who served our lunch because they were exceptionally kind,friendly and helpful with great big smiles. They couldn't have been more attentive and our food was beautifully cooked and served. If all Nandos staff are like these lovely people, you will have many more happy customers. Please pass our heartfelt appreciation to Dan, Drew, Nasa, Xxander, Amy and Aleks. Kind regards, Mary Pulham.

We had a nice time. Very good service. Enjoyed a meal with the children.

Kind staff who were friendly and willing to make conversation

Best sweet potato wedges I have had. Be careful of the heat in the peri peri sauce for the chicken. We had the chicken breast and the boneless chicken thighs. Both were okay. Everything is self-serve. Go to counter to order food, go to another counter to fill beverage of choice, another counter for silverware, napkins, and extra sauces. Food will be brought to your table though.

Nandos always good :p Edit. A year after my review i can tell Nandos still on point :D Decent service by a matey running front of the house today :))

Usual menu but service needs work, cold food (other tables sending theirs back as well) and had to ask 3 times for all our order.

Very poor value for money more like a pigeon leg than a chicken leg and about 10 chips

As a lone diner with anxiety I'm not good at going in places alone. Stopped off in Nandos and was made to feel very welcome. Was seated in a nice area and shown how to use the app. Food arrived quickly and was really tasty. We don't have Nandos on the Isle of Wight so was a treat for me. Will come again.

I completed the online review but it didn’t give me chance to say how lovely and friendly the gentleman in the checked shirt was (he had very short, sandy coloured hair if that helps). He made our experience! We went on Saturday 12th August. I’m sorry I didn’t get his name but he was an excellent ambassador for Nando’s.

What an art in chicken. So tasty, served quickly, hot, freshly sprained, recommended

Never been here before, staff very pleasant and friendly, food didn't take very long to come and really tasty place was clean and plenty of seating.

Yesss!!! NANDO SOUTHAMPTON!!! Best nandos I've been too in awhile. The Chefs know how to cook chicken. I was with a biggish group of guys on Saturday evening and the staff all of them 10/10. I really did appreciate all of the staff and I know maybe serving a large group of guys might be abit 🤔 but genuinely Love it there good people of at Southampton 10/10

Best Nandos yet, fresh, not over cooked or undercooked.

Food was fine. Service was quite slow and not very professional

Good nandos very fresh to be honest

The best Nando's in the area, the staff are always friendly and attentive and the food is always perfect!

Quick service and very friendly staff

What an amazing visit! You can’t go wrong with a cheeky Nandos and you generally get good food and service. However, today this Nandos was excellent; great team, wonderful service and good food. There was a slight issue with my bill (nothing insurmountable) but the team went above and beyond to sort it out. A huge shout out to the manager who clearly runs a tight ship. We will definitely be visiting this Nandos again - highly recommended!!

Friendly and fast service. The food is good as per Nandos standards. This is nicely decorated restaurant, smaller than I expected .

One of the worst experiences I've ever had in a nandos; No chicken left, Dry and burnt chicken wings, Unfriendly and unhelpfull staff who got the order wrong and when this was raised with them it was ignored.

1 hour for delivery, ordered large peri peri chips and came with no seasoning and half way filled.

As the many of these place space and well designed sitting areas. Food is fresh . And served hot. 19th March 23. Placed take away order, ft the service was a bit slow wasn't busy arnd 1300hrs, had to ask if order was done as it appeared to me they were placing these in-store orders with the uber delivery. And have noticed lately,.after ordering on getting home they are no sauces placed had to ask if there was any thrown in as I was watching from where I was sitted, she then asked which flavours i wanted. Not just at this place only .

Brilliant staff, brilliant food, can't wait to come back

If you are Indian craving for a spicy food, you should go for extra hot Peri-ometer.

Went into today for my dinner and got served by dom he was a right g made my night defo go back again!!! 🍗🍗🐓🐓

Amazing service, great food, and warm atmosphere. Shoutout to Owen for being a chicken legend and making my experience unique🐔🐔🥳

Food was Nando’s and I enjoyed, it was West Quays turn to be front of house office with papers strewn over tables and a worker busily reviewing her sales figures on the side with her computer. Sad to see!

Great food & great service what’s not to love! Being able to order from the table via the QR code is absolutely amazing, I’m so glad this became a thing! Being able to go round the table asking what everyone wants rather than going up to order and going, ah what did they want again.😅 On my recent visit here, they were busy but that didn’t stop the great service, the drinks & food came far quicker than I anticipated.😊

Never been here before so we decided to give it a try. The food was as expected and we was served by Tabby who was very professional and attentive. Would definitely come here again.

Low chicken quality and very small portion compared to other branches . Very dry halomi.

I ordered my food through my phone at 8:13 pm on Thursday 29/12/2022. Until 8:45 pm. All I received is a starter. I asked the staff there why, all I can understand is that “this is my fault, because I ordered starters and mains at the same time. They have to cook starter for me first, after that then they will start to cook my main.” I’ve orders a 1/2 chicken and chicken liver as my main. They told me that they will only bring two mains together to me, even one of the mains was cooked. So I had to wait there watching my friends having their 1/2 chicken, and wait for my two meals all cooked. This just doesn’t make sense. They’d rather let their customers sit there and wait for half an hour than letting them have something to eat first. Especially, we came as a group of three, all I can do during that time was watching my friends eat. Didn’t mention that we have things planned at 9:30, which gave me no time to finish my food. At the end, I’ve been told by one of guys that I still need to wait for extra 10 mins or more for my food, and I asked them to refund my food. They told me “alright, we just gonna throw all your food to the bin, and they will all be wasted”. What a move! Try to do a guilt trip on your customer after they’re waiting for their food for 40 mins. The staff wasn’t apologetic at all, all he tried to do is telling me that it’s the way I did it made my food come late, it’s not their fault. “Wagamama is doing the same thing” as I quote from the guy who’s in charge. Typical strategy, try to let the customer take the blame. Not pleased about this. Will never visit that place anymore.

Good nandos, although smaller than above bar street one, staffs are friendly and helpful

Very busy so had to wait 15 mins, but it was lunch time & week before Christmas. Did not wait any longer than that, so no problem. Food served hot and not long to wait. Staff friendly. Enjoyable meal, glad we waited.

The order was made incorrectly and when they brought our order it was cold and the rice was dry and not fresh. I am one of their customers and it is not the first time I have come, but the staff was uncooperative, different from what they were before. The last experience made me decide to change this branch and I may write them off permanently.

A good size restaurant within the food hall of West Quay. Great food full of flavour that packs a solid punch, both with the chicken and the veggie/vegan options. The staff had a look of another day of the grind but thankfully the food was more than good enough to come back, I just hope the staff cheer up for next time.

Order a food, they said 15 minutes but it was like 45 minutes we waited outside. Very disappointed. No proper response from the staff.

Came in after a run in the city for dinner. We were seated quickly, ordering food using a voucher was a breeze. Polite and friendly service. The place was clean and we had plenty of room. Couldn’t fault the service at all!

This should be a 5 star review really .... Sorry about knocking them on service as once we were in, it was great. The issue is that we arrived and were booked into the queue system, received a text that we were in the queue and, therefore, wandered for a bit. After about 25 mins, I was wondering whether we were getting closer so clicked the link from the text, and it said "Maybe next time! ... You were removed from the queue at xx:xx" When I went to ask them, they could see I was no longer on the list, they could see I had been but couldn't see why I was removed.. From there, though, service was great. They got us straight on a table and, apart from slightly long wait time for food, all was perfect.

What great staff! Greeted by a smile and served very quickly and elegantly. When one of the staff members came over to check if the food was alright, he noticed the garlic bread looked burnt and offered to get us some more! Without a complaint! Food was also delicious. 2 very happy customers.

Always amazing 👏 good customer service by Ria.

Wrap very small (for the hefty price) and tasteless. Fries were OK. However, the service was very nice and accommodating!

Good place to try nandos but the environment is not the nicest.

5 meals, all the chicken was dry. The sharing boneless platter was not on the mobile menue so after loading everyone else's choices, we had to order at the counter.... what's the point of ordering at the table?????? I have certainly had better

Yummy peri peri chicken served with rice and chips. Very friendly staff.

Nice location and service but shame cleaner sprayed cleaning solution all over my arm at closing time.

Great food every time with an amazing menu, would love some new sides on the menu tho as I have had the current sides so many time but it's always great and the staff are always super friendly.

Always come to this Nando’s, great service, always have tables available and you don’t usually have to wait long for a table:)

Great value for money Very friendly staff Delicious chicken Great for family meal Semi self service Great facilities

Great food abd I like ordering through the app. Can recommend.

Being a lunchtime it was busy but a very friendly member of staff told us it would be approx a 15-20 mins wait for a table which we accepted & she took a name. Tables became available fairly quickly & it was well within the 15 mins when we were seated. The ordering system is super easy, you can either go up & place your order at the counter or use the QR code on the table, I chose the latter. The menu it brings up on your phone is easy to navigate & easy to order. We chose the bottomless drink option & glasses were brought to the table within a couple of mins of my order going through. Food arrived very quickly, all hot & fresh & tasting amazing. All in all I was really impressed, all members of staff I encountered were super friendly & had a smile, the actual restaurant was scrupulously clean, the condiments section was well stocked & was easy to find what sauces you want. When we couldn't finish the extra wings ordered I asked if we could have a takeaway box for the wings, that was brought immediately & with a paper bag to carry it in. The service & food here are fantastic & considering how busy it was...every table taken...it was maintained well & kept clean. Was definitely worth the initial wait to get a table.

Delicious food, nice ambient, levely helpful staff. I like it 😋

Amazing, delicious great ambient

Standard Nandos, although worrying lack of communication between staff when we visited in May. I was waiting for a friend, so I ordered on the app during this time and I tried to order the 'Great Imitator' but it was out of stock ... No worries, so I ordered the plant strips along with a mushroom and halloumi pitta. A few minutes later, a waiter arrived at my table to inform me that my 'great imitator pitta' was unavailable and they would make me a wrap instead with the mushroom etc, well - I didn't order that. It then took multiple attempts to explain to him that I did not need a replacement wrap and I just needed a refund for the plant strips that were out of stock. The waiter finally seemed to understand what I needed but then a replacement wrap still arrived and I sent it back ... I had to ask for the manager on duty so I could actually get a refund in cash from the till. Bit of a pain but I suppose it happens ..

Great experience even though I am a vegetarian

Visited today as a treat for my 11 year old daughter. We arrived at 12. We were seated by a very friendly member of staff who listened to where my daughter wanted to sit. Food arrived promptly, was nicely presented, hot and enjoyable. Chicken was cooked perfectly. My daughter did not like the cordial drink that came with the child menu. Although I offered to pay for a new drink, the waitress gave her a glass for the drinks machine foc. Great restaurant, great service.

95% of the people working here seemed like they didn't want to live let alone work. I had requested the food to be brought out together, a starter was brought out and I explained the food was to be brought out together. The waitress tutted and marched off. Once the food was ready it was brought to the table minus the starter that was brought and taken away. I then explained that the starter was missing when staff started comparing the order they had on their screen to my order on email, after a minute the starter was handed over. The tables were dirty, we had to ask for glasses to be replaced because they were dirty, the dinner plate was also dirty. The food was Luke warm & after the wonderful experience my family & I had already had here it was such a lovely feeling. When visiting the ladies there was tissues all over the floor, sanitary items too. Following this, I request to use the disabled toilet, the door was opened with a knife and this toilet wasn't much better. All in all, if this had been my first visit to Nandos I would not return.

Big thank you to Sukhveer and Zoe for exceptional service. Both girls were absolutely amazing. Had a wonderful experience. Zoe back of house very friendly delivered excellent service whilst taking my order. And Sukhveer Front of house was absolutely amazing. Food was excellent as always. Thank you so much xx

Very good experience, highly recommended

Excellent as usual. Thoroughly recommended.

Very good meal at a reasonable price. Not Nandos fault the building it's in was very draughty. I wouldn't think eco friendly either. Lots of heat going out the doors. West Quay Southampton

Good food and helpful staff, quite quick, food is tasty x

Somehow we managed to order something that wasn't available and they came and changed the order very quickly, but drinks were late and there wasn't enough staff.

Bad customer service, food takes long time to make. But after all the food tastes good.

Good Nandos, nothing special but good

This is the better Nandos restaurant in Southampton, the food is well prepared and the staff are absolutely lovely

We have been to loads of Nandos and this is definitely the best one. Great and friendly staff, good atmosphere and really well cooked food. Thanks and we will be back soon

Friendly staff. Went with friend and her kids and they instantly asked if we need high chairs and bought it over along with colouring stuff. Food was really quick too!

Really wasn't impressed with my visit recently to this Nando's location. I've been around 3 to 4 times to Nando's UK in the past year, and visited this location for the first time. I found that it was very busy, nevertheless the menu was clearly displayed at the front door. We were greeted and seated, and our ordering options were clearly explained to us. We attempted to use the QR code at the table and for us, it didn't work. Ordering at the bar, we then awaited our food. The service was fairly slow, however when the food arrived it was beautifully presented however my 'The Great Imitator' burger, was stone cold. I'm not sure if potentially they cooked it along with other products which cook more quickly etc; nevertheless, it was cold. I ate my sides which actually were hot and tasty, and my partner enjoyed her meal. After we'd both finished (my burger I didn't eat), someone came to the table to check on us and I explained the burger was cold. They didn't seem very interested, but replaced it. It then arrived and was hot this time. Upon going to order desserts, the option we wanted 'Bottomless Frozen Yogurt' on the menu, we were told was unavailable. We therefore didn't order a dessert. Unfortunately the visit to this Nando's was a disappointing one, owing to the poor value for money in my opinion, small portion size and the friendliness of the staff was not impressive. Overall wouldn't return to this location, but I feel improving these few factors mentioned above would really make this a much better restaurant!

It's Nando's, but this time it's in Westquay

unorganised mess of a restaurant, poor service and bad food, i like nandos generally, i mean you cant really get it wrong can you? Grilled chicken with basic sides, but our order sat under a heat lamp for 20mins before it was collected and brought to our table, despite it not being busy, the staff stood around chatting whilst we sat there frustrated. If we hadn't already paid for it we would of left, the chicken was tough and rubbery, the chips and peas were ok. First dissapointed experience at nandos.

Great experience, food came out quickly and piping hot. Never fail to deliver. Always end up eating here.

Really good food at a great price, first time at Nandos but wont be my last
