  “I have been to nando's a couple of times before but it's my first time here. I ordered a chicken burger with 2 sides being peri fries and garlic bread. When the food arrived I noticed that only a handful of fries were provided. The chicken burger was good, however, the garlic bread seems to have been prepared a bit of long time as I would have expected it to be better, also considering other nandos. The fries were noted as the ones ordered and instead regular fries were provided rather then perio fries. So I believe the food quality and portion could be improved, whilst keeping an eye out for the food actually ordered.”

  “We got served by the lovely Fatima, she was amazing constantly making sure we have everything we need and chatting with us. The food was very good and we even got some extra sauce when we asked! We came in as a large group which in most places equals with waiting a long time before being able to get a table but we got ours instantly without any issues :) Had a lovely time”

  “Nando’s at the Manchester Arndale is a pretty reliable location from the chain; it’s located on the upper floor of the mall, close to the Arndale Market and High Street Entrance. I’ve visited here a lot over the past couple of years, and while it can get very busy as a mall location, they do a good job of getting everything presentable and moving rather quickly. I do feel the aesthetics of the restaurant could use a slight refresh to meet the newer Nando’s look and feel. I find the drinks station to be too small, as I have to take off the drain and top bit of the water machine to fit my Stanley, there is nowhere to put it in the meantime, without getting in the way. I also found the seats on the tables to be way too low, especially for the larger round tables. Food Quality is usually pretty good and up to the Nando’s standards. Portion sizes are often generous too, and I enjoy my usual favourite here, a Medium Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips and Rice, which could be better on the value for money side as of January 2026. This came to £16.50; it feels like the prices are going up every other month, but I get that this is a corporate thing and not down to this specific location. There isn’t a plain mayonnaise option, with the only options being their Perinaise or a vegan alternative, which means I have to bring my own. Staff have clear awareness of allergens, like you’d expect at any Nando’s location, with a manager taking my order at the counter. The staff, especially the ones who have been working here for a long time, are great and always deliver the best service. Some of the newer staff could do with a slight helping hand to reach those standards. On my most recent visit, I felt rushed and like a burden, even though they weren’t overly busy. They rushed to clear my table pretty much straight after I put my fork down, and I felt unwelcome to linger around. Overall, it’s a pretty good Nando’s, but a couple of improvements can be made for sure.”

  “I have always love Nando’s and this branch got quite full really early. The queue was long but the wait wasn’t so bad really. I probably lined up and waited for about 15-20 minutes. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and kept checking up on me to see if I was doing fine.”

  “After a disappointing wait at the printworks nandos because of a big party at 11.30am they said we couldn't be seated until 11.45am so we waited but we were left outside and they wouldn't seat us. So we decided to go to the Arndale one. The staff were lovely and the food was Somewhat nice. The new chicken gravy was amazing though. The Chickle burger was Alright but nothing over the top”

  “🔥 Nando’s Review – A Spicy Treat Worth the Hype ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ If you're a fan of grilled chicken with bold flavors and a kick of spice, Nando’s never disappoints. This visit was all about the heat – and it delivered. 🍗 Food I ordered the extra hot grilled chicken, and wow – juicy, perfectly cooked, and coated in that iconic PERi-PERi sauce that’s rich, tangy, and spicy in all the right ways. It came with three types of sauces on the side – each with its own unique flavor. My favorite was the garlic medium, smooth but still packed a punch. 🥤 Drink A tall glass of cold, fizzy orange soda was just what I needed to cool things down. Refreshing and generous in portion. 🌶 Sauces The famous PERi-PERi sauces are a highlight. You can try them right at your table – from the classic Medium to Garlic and even Hot. Each bottle’s packed with flavor and adds a nice customisable element to your meal. 🍽 Atmosphere The location had a modern, open design with natural lighting and a chilled vibe. Great for both solo meals or catching up with friends. Service was friendly and the self-ordering system was fast and smooth. 💸 Value for Money It’s not cheap fast food, but you’re getting quality grilled chicken with character and plenty of customization. A fair price for a flavor-packed experience. 📍 Overall Nando’s continues to hold its place as the go-to spot for flame-grilled chicken lovers. Just don’t forget – if you go “extra hot,” be prepared to sweat a little 🔥😉”

  “Online food ordering system is extremely slow, food served cold with quality not meeting the franchise standard. Will not recommend eating here especially if you are ready to spend £80 for a family meal. The hygiene also not the best with the chicken kept on the bottom tray in the back and opened with their feet. You can see the dust on the signage and don’t have enough waitresses to manage customers”
