Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the staff and the welcome, with several describing a server going out of their way, from entertaining a restless toddler during a collection wait to arranging a surprise for a child's birthday, and another moving a chair for a newborn's buggy. Food draws steady praise as fresh, hot and quick, including a shared full chicken with chips, mash, corn, garlic bread and cajun gravy that one takeaway customer could not stop eating. Several call the restaurant clean with a relaxed atmosphere. The complaints are sharper. One reviewer found most of the menu unavailable, with no half or whole chicken, no fino pitta, no sunset burger and no coke for bottomless refills, and the chicken breast pitta they settled for was dry and mostly lettuce. Another waited 20 minutes for a returned order the kitchen forgot to remake, leaving a partner's meal cold. A third describes uncleared tables and a long gap between starter and main on a Saturday afternoon, while later arrivals were served first. One diner closes on the apology that came with the forgotten remake.

“Saturday afternoon, tables left uncleared and a long time between starter and main course delivery Staff apologised for the delay but other tables received their food after entering after we ordered. We were only a table of 2”

“Ordered for collection today for the first time at this Nando’s, from the minute I walked in with my 3 year old, I was welcomed by the staff in the nicest way, me and my daughter sat down in the waiting area. Jack who works there came along and spoke to me and my daughter, great friendly conversation and gave my daughter his phone to watch YouTube kids videos as he could see she was restless. He then continued to work hard. We got our food and left and he came out and said his good byes. Great lad and great staff. Never experienced this service with other Nando’s. Fair play Jack, keep up the great service for your customers 👍🏼”

“Had a really good visit to Nando's Bicester. Food was spot on, fresh, hot and full of flavour. Chicken cooked properly, sides came quickly and everything tasted exactly how it should. The place was clean, well organised and had a nice atmosphere without being too loud. Staff were friendly and efficient, checked in at the right time and made the whole experience easy and relaxed. Definitely one of the better Nando’s visits I’ve had. Would happily go back again.”
