Customer Review Summary
Chicken Butterfly with peri chips is the dish reviewers raise most, with the chicken described as melting in the mouth and cooked well, and the chips as crispy and seasoned perfectly. Service runs close behind. Several describe friendly staff who topped up drinks, checked back repeatedly and asked about allergies as soon as diners sat down, and one family says a server found their son's lost toy. Booths are called comfy, the chocolate cake and mango dessert earn praise, and one reviewer likes that it feels calmer than the Trafford Centre. Complaints are fewer but specific. One vegetarian found only a salad, with no veg burger, pitta or wrap available. Another misses the regular mayonnaise and finds the menu a little pricey. One diner had no forks at the collection area, fries without peri salt and cold chicken, and staff first offered to reheat the chicken before a manager replaced the whole plate with a complete hot meal.

“The cheekiest nandos I have ever had. Food was cooked to perfection. Chips crispy and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Nice if you’re wanting to escape the business of the Trafford centre but have a nandos local whilst you’re there.”

“Ordered salad only , No veg burger ,pitta, or wrap Its difficult when you are pure veg but still lice nandos”

“Disappointed overall. No forks in the collection area I had to ask for some. The food was served and the fries had no peri salt on them. I had to ask for the salt. The food was not hot. I raised the issue to a member of staff and said the chicken was cold only because I could cope with the chip being luke warm. . She took the plate away and brought it back without the chicken on and said they were going to reheat the chicken... Wow. Then a gentleman came over and asked if everything was OK. I explained what had happened and he took the remainder of the meal away. He replaced it with a complete hot meal. Thanks to this person that have been a manager the meal ended up OK. If it wasn't for him this review would have been a 1 star all round.”

“What a fantastic experience! We visited this Nando's for the first time as a family, and from the moment we arrived, everything was brilliant. A huge thank you to Alice, who looked after us so well. She was incredibly friendly, polite, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a great visit. She was amazing with my children, built a lovely rapport with them, and nothing was too much trouble. To top it all off, she even found my son's lost toy, which meant so much to him! This was by far the best experience we've had at any Nando's. The outstanding customer service and warm, welcoming atmosphere made our visit really special. We all left with smiles on our faces and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Alice, for making our family visit so memorable!”

“Nando’s at the Trafford Retail Park is one of my favourite Nando’s locations, and it isn’t surprising that this is one of their most highly ranked restaurants on Google nearby. The location is great, it has parking directly outside, and is also near the Trafford Centre, without being anywhere near as busy. It’s usually pretty easy to get a table here compared to Nando’s, actually inside the mall, where there always seems to be a long line. I really like the decor of this place too, it has the usual Nando’s vibes, but the artwork, colours and lighting are so pleasing, it has a really great atmosphere around the place, with a number of booths and stylish, comfortable seating The staff are friendly and seem actually happy to be there, even going as far as to make sure customers are topped up with drinks, and I felt assured my allergy was taken care of when ordering at the counter with a manager. I’ve visited here a couple of times now, and the food is usually pretty good. Most recently, I ordered a Medium-Spiced Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips and Rostinas, the portion size was good, everything was cooked well and tasty with lots of flavour, and I enjoyed it. There are a couple of small issues which I have with Nando’s in general. I do think it’s a shame they no longer have regular mayonnaise, so I have to bring my own, and I do find it to be a little pricey, but that can’t take away from the great work the team do here to deliver great standards of food and service, and this might just be becoming my go to Nando’s whenever I fancy the chain due to this and their convenient location.”
