About Nando's Edinburgh - The Gyle

Nando's Edinburgh, The Gyle serves flame-grilled peri-peri chicken at different heat levels on Gyle Ave, part of the wider Nando's format. Ordering and payment run through an app or a QR code at the table, and diners collect their own drinks, cutlery, and sauce once food arrives. Starters include peri-peri nuts and halloumi sticks and dip, alongside sides such as sweet potato wedges. The menu spans 73 dishes in total. Bottomless drinks are offered, and extra basting or well-done chicken can be requested, since it isn't the standard preparation. Large tables, including parties of nine, can be booked ahead, making the restaurant workable for groups. It opens daily, and food is generally brought to the table quickly after ordering.

Customer Review Summary

Flame-grilled chicken cooked quickly draws the most praise, with several reviewers noting food arriving in under ten minutes, hot and fresh, alongside bottomless drinks. Sides get a mention too, with one visit calling the sweet potato wedges and other sides "spot on." Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and the app-based ordering is generally described as quick and efficient, with one large group of nine accommodated after booking ahead. Complaints recur around the ordering process and cooking requests: one diner had persistent app and payment timeouts, another says the festive burger looked nothing like its picture and felt like "half a service" with no tea or coffee available, and two separate reviewers wanted chicken well done or extra basting only to get confused staff or wings straight from the steamer with sauce "brushed for delivery" rather than grilled. Despite this, most describe a consistent, standard Nando's experience with quick service and hot food.

    “Consistent with every other nandos I have been to. Particularly quick service and food came out super quick...like less than 10mins...crazy but welcome! Accommodated for a large table of 9 and was able to book in advance. Pleased with visit to get our cheeky nandos.”
  • Percy Muchenje
    “I really wanted my wings well done but they have been straight from the steamer and sauce brushed for delivery. No Grilling at Nandos.”
