Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the flame-grilled chicken, praising the juicy quarter chicken, the Medium Chicken Butterfly and the Half Chicken, with Peri chips, spicy rice and rainbow slaw close behind. One reviewer enjoyed the lemon & herb sauce, another liked the chicken wings, and a regular wants mayonnaise back after it was replaced with a vegan alternative. Service gets steady praise, with several describing welcoming, friendly staff, including a server who made sure a table had everything and a team that did not rush a party arriving just before closing. Two reviewers say allergy handling was thorough, one citing the allergens matrix and another a manager taking the order and wiping surfaces down. The main complaints are that prices have risen a lot in recent years and that the interior could be lit better. One first-time visitor felt humiliated when a staff member loudly asked whether a drink had been paid for and tried to take the glass, after assuming the self-service water and peach tea were free. The cashier then waived the charge, and the reviewer asked for clearer signage.

“I visited this Nando's while travelling from Melbourne to Manchester for an exam. As it was my first time there, I wasn't familiar with the ordering system. After ordering my meal, I went to the self-service area for cutlery and noticed water and peach tea next to it. There were no signs indicating the drinks were for purchase, so I mistakenly assumed they were complimentary and poured a small glass. After taking just two sips, a staff member loudly confronted me in front of other customers, asking if I had paid, and even tried to snatch the glass from my hand. I immediately apologized, explained it was an honest misunderstanding, and offered to pay. The cashier kindly told me not to worry and that payment wasn't necessary. What upset me wasn't the misunderstanding—it was the way I was treated. Being publicly confronted and having my drink taken from me was humiliating and made me feel as though I was being treated like a thief over a simple mistake. A quiet explanation would have resolved the situation respectfully. Clear signs showing that drinks are chargeable and separating them from the cutlery area would help prevent other customers making the same mistake. Most importantly, customers should be treated with dignity and respect, especially when they have made an honest error.”

“This is my favourite Nandos I have ever been to! Been coming here with my partner almost weekly the past two years, even celebrated my birthday here once. Service is always amazing, everyone is lovely, welcoming and helpful. The food is of course also delicious, chips are warm and chicken is nice and juicy. Honestly have never had a bad experience. Big thanks to our server Sam who reminded me to leave a review!”
