Quick info
About Nando's Soho
Nando's Soho is a restaurant on Frith St in London, serving flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken in a large dining room with plenty of seating. The menu is built around chicken ordered by the portion, with a quarter chicken, thighs or a medium chicken each paired with sides. That makes it simple to order a single portion or build a bigger meal for the table. Guests wait at the entrance to be seated by a host or hostess, who brings them to a table.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken is what reviewers focus on, and opinions split. Happy diners call it cooked well and full of flavour, and a group of seven tried different dishes and singled out the Wings roulette as a fun order. Others found burned, dry chicken pieces, and one said it tasted like a grocery store rotisserie chicken with flavourful sauce on top. A chicken burger came on a cold bun, and a thighs order with two sides was marked down on price and quality, with the order also wrong. One reviewer missed the saka sauce. Friendly staff earn praise, especially a hostess who checked in on tables and gave prompt service, and one visitor found the food quick with plenty of seating. Slow service is the recurring complaint. Several describe long waits for seating and for a quarter chicken with fries and coleslaw, and one noticed empty booths held back for staff while customers waited.

“I have read about how Nandos went from a great restaurant to below average and today I experienced it. 4 chicken thighs and 2 sides - price and quality get 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽. It's used to be great. "It's not the customer that comes through the door. It's the customer that comes back that matters". For sure I won't be back. To add insult to injury - they got the order wrong. Nando's - it the battle cry before defeat!”

“We waited a very long time for just a quarter chicken with fries and coleslaw. The customer service was poor, and the food did not meet my expectations. I came all the way from Canada, excited to try Nando‘s in London because of all the positive things I had heard, but this experience left a really bitter taste in my mouth. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant, and I most definitely will not be returning. I prefer the nandos here in Canada and appreciate the customer service I get here in comparison.”

“Disappointed meal! I had a good Nando's experience in Liverpool couple of years ago. But over the years, Nando's quality is not as good as the number of its customers. There were too much of burned chicken pieces and the meat was too dry for Nando's standard. By the way, some of the staffs look exhausted to gove a good service, but lucky enough some of them are very attentive to keep the restaurant's reputation.”
- Mathieu Frison
“We are big fans of Nando's and have been to many locations. This is probably the worse managed site we have been to in years! We arrived and the site was almost empty, tons of seats, yet we had to wait a looong time at the entrance before someone decided to attend us and bring ms us to a table. The place is dirty, tables with food on it left for over 1h (the time we stayed) with staff people passing by and not cleaning anything (see pic). Then the most shocking is that when we arrived we asked to be seated in one of the nice boths below (there are 4 of those. 2 were empty). We were told that impossible, these are reserves for the staff!!! During our entire stay, 2 of those tables were occupied with staff having a nice chat and 2 other tables remained empty and un-used. See pic). Whoever owns this location should wake-up and change management...”
