Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on Nando's Kilmarnock, and the most repeated complaint is being turned away at the door. Several describe being told to return after a long wait despite plenty of empty tables, including a parent of a five-year-old with Down Syndrome who tried three times, and one diner who finally got in and had food arrive within minutes. Order mistakes and training come up next: one table received seasoned fries instead of plain and a missing garlic bread, staff struggled with gift cards, and the neighbouring table's order was also wrong. Another reviewer describes a long wait for two plates, a server who left without a word, and crumbs left under tables. Others cite tough, slimy chicken in the wraps, pricey extra saucy wings and Portuguese salad sides, and a self-service model that felt like fast food. On the positive side, diners praise friendly staff, quick service and tasty food, naming the Sunset Burger, peri-salted chips, garlic bread and an orange chocolate brownie with ice cream, with one noting wheelchair access.

“First and probably last time for us. Don't like the Nandos model. It's a bit like McDonalds level service at getting towards proper sit in sit down prices. If I'm gonna have to do my own ordering, get my own cutlery, condiments etc etc …”

“Came at about 1pm on Wednesday. After getting sat down, we had a little chat with the waiter who told us that he'd be back in a little so we could decide on our order while he's gone... About 10-15 minutes later, he didn't come back so we …”

“Had a really great experience today. Food came out really fast and tasted nice and fresh. There was also a blonde girl with glasses working on the floor who was incredibly nice and helpful.”

“As someone who visits Nando’s at least once a week, I’ve got to say this has got to be the worst one I’ve ever been to. The chicken within the chicken wraps were in massive chunks but worst of all the chicken was tough, slimy and just looked unpleasant. Will not be back to this branch again!”

“This Nandos needs major improvement!! I came in with my daughter one night, to get us some grub for dinner and it took possibly a whole 40 minute wait for two plates to come to our table with a terrible attitude from the server (I believe his name was Scott) he sat the plates down and didn’t bother saying anything before he immediately left, what a friendly personality. I also noticed how most of the workers after they wipe down a table don’t bother to sweep up under the tables. Barely any floor workers around especially when I wanted to ask for a takeaway box. Staff clearly still require training and there may also be a need to review staffing standards, as the level of disorganisation is unacceptable.”
