About Nando's Croydon - Colonnades
Nando's Croydon - Colonnades is a restaurant in Croydon, at Unit 7 in The Colonnades, open daily for lunch and dinner. The menu centres on PERi-PERi chicken, ordered as wings or a half chicken. The PERi-ometer scale lets each diner choose a heat level such as medium and add extra sauce on top. The Fino Pitta and Sunset Burger sit alongside sharing platters, salads and plant-based options. Sides include mash with peri chicken gravy, and the chips come peri-salted. Sauce and drinks are bottomless, so refills are part of the meal. Booth seating is available, and the restaurant can get busy, with a wait that sometimes runs long. A warm chocolate brownie is served at the end of the meal.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the table service, with the same server praised repeatedly for being attentive, friendly and checking in throughout the meal. Food comes a close second, with succulent chicken, large portions, and sides like spicy rice, long stem broccoli, creamy mash with peri chicken gravy and peri-salted fries. The warm chocolate brownie is called delicious by several. Reviewers also describe being seated quickly, food arriving fast, and a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere that suits families and groups. The main complaints concern undercooked chicken. One reviewer who ordered delivery received half a chicken that looked undercooked, along with chips lacking peri-salt and a melted chocolate cake, and another regular found the chicken not well cooked on a recent visit and noted there were no chicken livers. Others mention the place gets busy, with waits that can be long or inaccurate. The delivery reviewer was offered a refund through Deliveroo and described the person who dealt with their complaint at Nando's as helpful.

“it's a really good nando's but its gets busy quite often! The food is really good and the service is also quite good! its a great place for families to go to. It's a pretty decent price and if you have the app you can get more discounts and sometimes free sides and food like that. overall its a pretty solid restaurant but the wait time can be really long or sometimes even inaccurate.”

“Just wow. Four of us came to dine here and were treated to the best dining experience we’ve had in a chain in a very long time. We were seated instantly and the food came up so quick! The chicken was succulent, the portions large and of course the sauce was incredible as always. The brownie at the end was just incredible! Warm and tasty, I had everyone fighting for a bite. Stefan made our experience particularly wonderful as he was attentive, kind and really cared about our time here. Would definitely reccomend coming here, especially if he’s on shift!”
