Customer Review Summary
The chicken itself draws the most complaints. One diner found it gristly, fatty and discoloured, and says this has happened on several visits. Another found a grilled chicken burger with a very thin slice and an overcooked sunset burger, and thought the drinks charge was steep. One reviewer says a manager rudely took away a small glass of Coca-Cola that had not been paid for. Another reports being ignored over burnt chicken and suggests the treatment was linked to skin colour. A third had to scrub dirty knives and spoons before eating. The burnt chicken was replaced only after that diner followed the manager to the counter.

“My children and I were visiting Southampton for the first time, the staff is friendly, welcoming. Hanah who was the manager on duty was ever so kind, and with her excellent hospitality, she convinced us to try the chocolate brownies with ice cream, a delight! If you're visiting Southampton Central, make sure you stop at that branch and encourage the fantastic young, and friendly team!”

“This was my first time at Nando’s with my partner and I was disappointed to say the least : You pay around £15 for meals where the grilled chicken burger was one of the thinnest slices I’ve ever seen in chicken history, my sunset burger was overcooked in the chicken with the barbecue drizzle was really not satisfying at all. And the mix of a slice of cheese had a weird combination. And you’re telling me that I have to pay for drinks £4.25 for drinks it’s a bit exaggerated. I do have to say the fries and the coleslaw were good average at best. I’m not thinking of going back. I would not recommend especially of how pricey it is and how thin the chicken slice is”

“The chicken was burnt and tried to make the manager that I am not happy about my food . He ignored me till I Followed him at the counter and complained again and that’s when he accepted to replace the order. This is not the first time I encountered this kind of behaviour from the same gentleman. I am not happy at all, I don’t know he treats me like this because of my skin colour. I have been eating Nando’s for the last 20 years so when I complain I know exactly what I am taking about”

“visited Nando’s Southampton Westquay today for lunch with my partner. We ordered food and some drinks. My partner only wanted a small amount of Coca-Cola, and a staff member provided a small glass for us. Later, a manager (barry ) southampton west quay approached us and said that we had not paid for the Coca-Cola. I understand that drinks must be paid for, and I would have been happy to pay if asked. However, I was disappointed by the way the situation was handled. Instead of politely explaining the issue and offering me the opportunity to purchase the drink at the till, the manager was rude and simply took the drink away. I felt embarrassed and that the interaction was unnecessary and unprofessional. I have always enjoyed visiting Nando’s, but this experience left me feeling disappointed. I hope management will remind staff of the importance of treating customers with courtesy and respect when addressing any issues.”
