  “Really good service at Nando’s. Stephen was our server and he was really nice and helpful the whole time. He checked on us a few times and made sure we had everything we needed such a young kind man.”

  “If I could give 10 stars I would. This was the single greatest Nando’s I have ever eaten. To the staff working from 17:25-18:00 on Friday the 24th of July 2026 you guys deserve a raise, and then another raise. Never have I experienced such speed in a sit down restaurant, I swear my food came out in seconds - it was magic oml. Everything was perfect down to the garlic bread. You guys rock and thank you for making my life xxx”

  “I recently got a take-away from here. Can’t fault the staff, the food or anything except….. the number of steps to the toilets!! Must of been something like 3/4 flights of stairs, crazy! Still, the chicken was tasty so worth it.”

  “Quick service. Good food. Bit of a shame the toilets are as far away as they would be in a Spoons - but worth the wait for one of the best urinal layouts I’ve seen in a men’s loo”

  “We had a wonderful visit to Nandos, and the staff truly made the difference. Dealing with kids and a busy restaurant can be a lot, but the team here was incredibly attentive. ​Mayuri was so helpful with our food and made sure everything arrived just right. ​Sham was a superstar with the tables, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Hall ​Family Friendly: They were great with the highchairs and making sure the kids were settled. ​It’s rare to find such proactive service. We will definitely be back!”

  “The Food is Consistent, but the Logistics are a Struggle If you are looking for that familiar PERi-PERi fix in Guildford, this location is right in the heart of the action. However, your experience will largely depend on how much patience you have for the "Nando’s hustle." Location & Accessibility The restaurant is situated in an extremely easy-access spot for pedestrians and shoppers, right off the main high street. However, if you are driving, be warned: parking is a nightmare. There is no parking available directly at the restaurant, and finding a spot nearby is difficult and often expensive. It is much better suited for those already on foot in the town center. The Wait Times Brace yourself for a crowd. This branch is constantly busy, and you should almost always expect a wait for a table. On peak days, the queue often spills out the door, meaning you might find yourself waiting outside on the pavement before you even get to the "official" indoor waiting area. Service & Atmosphere While the food is served at the standard Nando’s quality we all know, the service can be a bit hit-or-miss. Because the restaurant is perpetually packed, the staff often seem stressed and are generally not the friendliest. Don't expect much in the way of warm welcomes or attentive check-ins; it’s very much a "get them in, get them out" environment.”

  “I ordered a delivery from Nando’s Guildford, where I found a 10cm piece of sharp metal mixed in with my food. I was 40 weeks pregnant. If I hadn’t poured the food onto my plate, I would most likely not have spotted it at all and dread to think of what could have happened. When I immediately called the restaurant, I received no apology, only instructions to email a photo for a refund. A refund I still haven’t received 3.5 months later. The lack of reaction gave the clear impression this was not being treated as a serious or unusual incident - I suspect this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Head office later acknowledged that their Safety Team believes the metal may have come from restaurant equipment and that their procedures failed. Despite this, the response has been slow and dismissive. This is a serious food safety failure, handled poorly at every stage. I would strongly urge caution when ordering from this restaurant.”

  “Love going to Guildford Nandos - polite and friendly staff. We are vegetarian and still find lots of options. Favourite is peri peri chips, pitta bread with hummus and chickpea wraps. Used to love bottomless yoghurt which is no longer there. Wish they bring it back. Will definitely visit again as it’s a family hang out place.”

  “After more than one year of being in Guildford, we finally managed to go there. We had heard of Nando's quite a lot, but just didn't go there due to various reasons There was a wait of 30 minutes, and we were pondering if we should go to some other outlet like before. Anyways, we decided to wait and finally made it to Nando's. The staff who attended us was surprised that it was our first time. He explained how it works, and where to get the sauces and cutlery. The menu is a limited one, focused on chicken. We ordered a boneless platter and grilled chicken wrap. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. The food was presented in an appealing manner, and the Sauces is what makes the food come to life. The first few bits were awesome with experiences of different flavours, after that it felt flat. I think the menu doesn't do justice to their core area, which is their sauces. They could add other items which elevates their food... Will I go their again, yes for the sauces. They could probably have a fixed menu, and a few other items to experiment with the sauces. Based on the feedback they could expand their menu.”

  “A fantastic taste experience marred by the service. Set over two floors the restaurant has plenty of seats and is very easy access from the centre. I would score this restaurant very highly had it not been for the frustrated door staff. I also witnessed a very heated exchange from another set of customers regarding the same staff member. Management should hopefully improve the situation by either redeploying or dealing with the cause of these confrontations. (The WiFi and app were both not working which also added to a negative experience. Staff said it’s common. So why not fix it?)”
