Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently return for the flame-grilled chicken, with the extra hot half chicken and the lemon and herb wings served alongside garlic bread and chips singled out for praise, and several mention quick wait times and friendly staff even during busy periods. Close behind, the full chicken platter is noted as a good option for sharing. Some also enjoy the special sauces and the funky artwork and lighting inside. The recurring trade-off is delivery reliability: one reviewer says two perinaises and fries never arrived and only part of the cost was refunded, another describes an app order arriving completely missing and cold with the restaurant redirecting them to Deliveroo instead of resolving it, and a further visitor recalls being served an undercooked "wooden" chicken platter. A few also describe the dine-in atmosphere as more eat-and-leave than social, though on quieter visits service moved through quickly.

    “They steal off customers. We ordered two wraps with peri salted fries and two perinases for delivery. Both perinases didn’t turn up and both fries didn’t turn up. Despite being at a cost of £13 lost they only refunded 8. This is nothing short of theft. I’m dealing with a chargeback with my bank for this. Please be careful when ordering from here.”

    “I ordered through the Nando’s app and my order was completely missing. Nothing I ordered arrived, what came was cold and the restaurant was not helpful they didn’t deal with it and made me ring Deliveroo instead. I normally have a good …”

    “Good food well cooked, but the atmosphere is one of eat and leave rather than sitting and socialising.”
  • Anita Narduzzo
    “The manager Jacen is so lovely, genuinely one of the nicest service workers I have come across, whatever he is payed it is not enough! Food was great and very little wait for food”
  • Anil M
    “We celebrated our son's birthday here. The team catered for the size of the party attending. The food was lovely. The service was very fast. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. The place is very open and located just close to Loughborough town centre. Parking available for disable visitors a short walk away from the restaurant. There are carparks within walking distance of the restaurant. Well worth a visit. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you to all the staff that made the visit very special. Hope you enjoyed the cake 🎂.”
