This place is always packed and for good reason!
The food is lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful and atmosphere is buzzing. Great place to meet with friends or even eat out with family and kids.
We ordered the sunset burger and loaded fries and I have to say it was packed with flavour.
As always the service was friendly and attentive.
I'd happily go again 👍🏻☺️

Went to Nandos this evening with my family and grandchildren for a meal. Have to say I’ve been to a few different Nandos but this place really delivered. The staff were very polite , professional and welcoming
The restaurant was busy but the staff were great. The meals for the family were well cooked and served in good time with staff checking in to make sure everything was good. A huge thank to all the staff and especially TJ and Farhan including the rest of their team.

Definitely recommend this Nandos branch. ( Halal too).

The service was quick and food was tender and flavourful. Would suggest to try 1/2 chicken and rice. Perfectly cooked with perfect amount of sauces and flavour used. The staff were great with the service as well and patient with taking orders. Perfect for a get together.

I’ve been a regular at this place for a number of years and must say even compared to other Nandos this branch is head and shoulders above for both the food quality and service.

Special shout out to Laila who served us a few times, really kind, bubbly, and attentive. Laila makes sure to treat us like VIPs and feel like valued customers even when the place is really incredibly busy.

Also must shout out the manager who always ensures we have had a great experience.

Couldn’t think more highly of this place, so good we travel from a different town to come here.

Thanks Laila and team.
