The naans are perfectly round and soft. Not sweet at all like some of the other Bengali Indian restaurants where naan is more like dessert. The place is busy most of the time. Service is prompt. They allow you to BYOB which is a nice touch. The prices are great too. Dinner for two ran us a little over 20 pounds. I also hear they are open till midnight, which is great. During my visit, my only two gripes were that they didn't have Nihari (come to think of it, they don't have too many beef dishes which is typical of Pakistani restaurants), and they didn't have tea. No worries though, I don't hold it against them. Their food is way to good and I am a fan!

Very good service and food is way better than Nando's. Kid friendly and price is very reasonable.read more

Relatively cheap but this is reflected in both the decor of the restaurant and the food served. It is more suited as a take away where you are given a tin foil food container for a set price and can fill, as long as you aren't too over zealous - they do stipulate that the lid has to close on the container. Food is OK but does taste like it is mass produced and has been sitting under a hot plate - which it has. If you are looking for quantity over quality then this is the place. The staff are often slow to refill when available food is running low. There is no parking on site. However there is a large car park a few minutes away.

US visitor here trying one of the most popular traditional UK spots! This location is located in a little plaza/retail center. We parked in the Sainsbury's right next to the plaza and walked it. It was a Wednesday night at about 7 PM when we walked in, and we easily got a table for 4! The Nando's menu is extensive with prices between $9-$13. They're known for their Peri Peri sauces (have like 8) and of course...chicken! one of my favorite things about the place is the many veg and vegan options- sweet potato burger, a vegetable/curry rice bowl, vegan sides, etc. I ordered the sunset roll with the salted Peri Peri chips...and YUM! The portion was definitely smaller than something you'd get in the US (think of a large English muffin sandwich) and was filled with delicious grape jelly, warm cheddar, chicken thigh meat, and lettuce. The pero-naiyse sauce that we ordered separately (additional 60 cents) was delicious and a must-have. My favorite famous peri-peri sauce was probably the medium with garlic or the mild lemon pepper! Little tip: if you don't want to pay for peri-naiyse, mix some of the hot sauce with free request mayonnaise. Not the same, but close enough! Next time, I'll have to try the hummus. And yes, this location is zabiha/halal!

Had a late brunch here. We ordered:…read moreTriangle burger kid's meal, Fries Halloumi cheese, Bbq chicken wings, Ginger beer and Hot chocolate. Service person (Souhaya) had a scowl on her face; it was not that busy. Unfortunately, tipping here was automatic at 12.5%. I would not have tipped her....she will have a bigger scowl on her face...hahahaha. Anyhow, the ambiance is very American; a diner complete with a car banquette seating. Bbq chicken wings were really good and flavorful. Burger sucked and not worth its £6 price. Halloumi cheese was mediocre not worth £5 for 3 small rectangular pieces. I would come back for the bbq wings.

The place looked very promising but failed to deliver on so many levels... First - the wait staff…read more There is a service charge tacked onto your bill automatically, but you still have to order yourself online (the ordering process is a bit tedious - with a sometimes failing web form ) Then you need to walk to the counter and pay there, as there is no way to pay for your meal online either (or - as would be expected - pay for it AFTER you finished it). The place does not accept American Express. But then, the food is also rather lackluster. With lemonade being sickeningly sweet and having an odd, chemical flavor. The Budweiser Prohibition Brew we ordered was replaced with Budweiser Zero - a much poorer alternative. The food is edible and we did not get sick after eating it, but it is on the more expensive side, given the quality. In particular, everything was very greasy - which is not always a bad thing with a diner, but here it was not great. My steak - ordered medium-rare, came medium/well-done which I had to ask to be replaced. It did get replaced with a (nearly) properly cooked (more solidly medium, not rarer) one. I wish it was 14 oz ribeye I paid for, not a thin 8 oz, though. The meat was tasty, a bit lacking the flavor, and the bone was large - not worth the price. The fries were good. The place is halal certified. So the bacon you will get is chicken-based. The environment is very "movie 1950s" - unlike the true diners, but also lacking the atmosphere of the 50s. It would be very enjoyable for its ambiance, if not for the fact, that the place is filled with families with young kids, and as such gets kindergarten loud at times. I had high hopes, but I did not get a satisfactory meal. I did not have a great experience, and I did not get a bargain. On the other hand, it was not dreadful and perhaps I would come back again, with friends, later in the evening, as I enjoyed the tacky decor. If only they served beer or wine to go with the meal...

We were in London for a few days and we were really looking forward to eating in this restaurant. I…read morehad been previously many many years ago but not with my family. On arrival, we were 'greeted' by this sour bunch of three ladies, one who confirmed our reservation, one who took our coats and one who showed us to the table. We were put off by this but we were looking forward to our meal so we simply ignored this. Once we saw the exorbitant menu prices (around £29 per dish), we decided to just order a main course only to be asked by the waitress, "is that it? That's all you are going to order?" What we decide to order is our choice and do not expect to be 'judged' by a waitress! Again, we decided to 'brush this off' and ordered our meal. To describe this as a 'meal' is an understatement! The chicken in black bean sauce had maybe 6 small pieces of chicken, perhaps 50g at most. This was spongy and with no texture at all. I can honestly say that if I ate it blindfolded I would never guess that it was chicken! The spare ribs came absolutely drowned in a thick gloopy sauce and the meat was like a rubber boot and again with not enough to feed a kitten and the fried rice was way undercooked and hard. At this point I had had enough and decided to ask for the owner/manager. Two or three servers came in turn before the actual owner decided to grace us with his presence. At no point did I raise my voice as I had no intention of disturbing other diners. The owner, Norman his name was berated us in a loud voice that he had over 40 years experience in the restaurant business and that no one had ever complained about his food and that he only served prime cuts. He also said that this was kosher food and that we had no idea what kosher food was all about!! We eat kosher at home and when we eat out and he had no right whatsoever to judge us like this! All the other customers were now staring at us making the situation highly embarrassing to say the least! HE then literally threw us out of the restaurant. Norman, if you ever read this (and I think you should) please take heed. I will post this review on Tripadvisor and on all Kosher restaurant review sites I can find! Shame on you and shame on your establishment!
