  “Joe was ready to welcome me in and made me feel really comfortable dining alone. He was attentive throughout, checking in regularly and even taking the time to ask about my day. His friendly and genuine approach really stood out. He’s a real asset to the team. Well done, Joe!”

  “I’ve eaten at this Nandos quite a few times now but was particularly impressed with the food and the service. We visited just after attending the Lowry theatre so was expecting the place to be busy. They were well staffed so we didn’t have to wait and the food was delicious as always. The manager (didn’t catch his name) was particularly helpful and friendly. I would highly reccomend”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant service at Nando’s Salford Quays! From the moment I walked through the door, the team were attentive and welcoming and got me seated straight away. The restaurant was really busy when I visited, with what looked like a private event/large booking taking place, but despite that, the tables were clean and presentable and the service was spot on. A special shout-out to Keny, who served me. She was bubbly, warm, professional and really well presented. She communicated brilliantly and even helped me with my Nando’s card information, nothing was too much trouble. Anj also deserves a mention. Once my food arrived, she came over to check everything was okay, made some lovely conversation and even checked whether I needed any sauces or anything else. Great attention to detail! And then there was Phil, the manager, who noticed that my Sagres beer wasn’t bubbling properly before I’d even realised. He immediately pointed it out, replaced it with a fresh one and was welcoming throughout. Considering how busy the restaurant was, I genuinely felt like I received 5-star service from start to finish. Keny, Anj, Phil and the whole team, take a bow! 👏 You guys are awesome and a real credit to Nando’s. It’s clear that the team care about their customers and take pride in what they do. Fantastic service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

  “I wanted to leave a review to recognise Phil, who was working today at Nando’s. Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped and smashed a bottle of sauce, and I felt so embarrassed. Phil couldn’t have handled it any better. He was incredibly kind, calm, and reassuring, immediately telling me not to worry and making me feel completely at ease. His genuine kindness and caring attitude really stood out. It’s easy to recognise good customer service, but it’s much rarer to come across someone who shows such genuine compassion and makes a customer feel comfortable in an awkward situation. Phil is a real credit to the team, and his positive attitude genuinely made my day. Thank you, Phil, for your outstanding customer service and for turning what could have been an embarrassing moment into such a positive experience. Nando’s is lucky to have you! God bless you x”

  “Me and my gf came in to have dinner on saturday evening (25th June) and we had a GREAT time, even though the restaurant was busy the food that we ordered was freshly made. We ordered butterfly chicken with two sides, 1/4 chicken with two sides, we received excellent customer service from the two colleagues that took our order and brought our food order. We didn’t get their names but one was a lady with short curly black hair with red lipstick absolutely incredible! And a man with black uniform and black hair who had lovely bubbly energy. We were very well looked after thank you soo much and we appreciate the warm welcome/atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit! thanks again :)”

  “I visited Nando’s for the first time and, food-wise, everything was absolutely amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and tasted fresh. The sides were just as good, and overall I was really impressed with the quality of the food. However, the experience itself wasn’t great. When we arrived, no one mentioned they would be closing in about an hour. They accepted our order without saying anything, which was fine, but soon after people started leaving, they dimmed the lights while we were still eating. The sudden change in lighting gave me a really bad headache and made it hard to focus on enjoying the meal. It was disappointing because the food was excellent, but the atmosphere and how the closing time was handled really put me off. I would definitely go back for the food, but I hope next time the customer experience is handled better.”

  “Nando’s at Media City is a very busy Nando’s location; the interior is large, bold and comfortable with lots of booths and a good atmosphere around the place. I’ve visited this particular Nando’s a couple of times now, and I’ve been noticing the same issues at this location for quite some time, going back a number of years, to my recent visit in February 2026. Waiting times seem to be much longer here, both to be seated and for food. On my most recent visit, I had to wait around 15 minutes for a table, and after being seated, I was only then told there was an additional 20-minute wait for food. The staff seem friendly enough, as I have an allergy, the Manager took my order, which is the usual standard with Nando’s, although I wasn’t a fan of how my food was carried to my table as it was very close and almost touching the food of the other member of my party, who had ordered a dish containing gluten. I’ve often found food to be slightly overcooked at this particular Nando’s, and again, this was the same on my most recent visit. I ordered a Medium Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips and Spicy Rice, while the portion of the fries was very generous, it felt a little lacking on the rice, and the food wasn’t fully hot, it was lukewarm, which was annoying considering how long I’d waited, I did consider sending the food back but I was hungry after waiting for so long. I do feel a lot of the issues were probably because of how busy they were, such as the waiting times, food quality slipping, and minor issues around the restaurant, such as napkins not being refilled, etc., so I would visit this location again, but I’d certainly avoid it at peak meal times, especially on weekends.”

  “Decent experience here! They were really busy but we managed to get in after 10 minutes. Easy to order on the app and the drinks arrived very quick, followed by the food. Very impressed overall!”
