Orders the scallops and lamb chops and they were delightful. I wish I had more space to order another round of both. lol The gentleman who assisted me, informed me of a few items that were no longer on the menu from customer feedback and one item they were out of. The scallops were cooked perfectly and sooo juicy. The lamp chops had a great cook on the outside and lovely medium inside. The edamame along with paired nicely. I ordered the truffle mashed potatoes which also were seasoned well. I liked the Al La cart option since I wasn't going to do the all you can eat. Overall good experience and I'd return if in the area.

Maybe it was a bad day or the kitchen was understaffed, but the meat was overcooked to more than well done for a medium rare steak and the oysters were not fresh at all. I think it was just a bad day because I have heard great things from them.

Location is good. I haven't had Nandos for awhile so I was craving for the taste. The sauce, like…read morewhat everyone else noted, was kinda difficult to get out of the bottles. Chicken tastes amazing as usual. The app was hard to use, I had to reset our order three times. A touchscreen order screen at the front similar to McDonald's would probably have worked better. Otherwise, price point and taste is still good, and same as before.

Ah Nandos, its hard to know what to say about this place. I mean it is a fast food place at the end…read moreof the day!. We dropped in here one evening after shopping in Sylvia Park and we were feeling a little lazy about cooking. We ordered the quarter chicken and chips to share and 2 beers. The chips were terrible, really rubbery. I really thought it would be impossible to mess up chips but they did. The chicken was ok, but the lady never dropped down another plate or cutlery and so we looked like savages picking off the one plate! Also the sauces are like gold dust, so its very hard to get your hands on one if you are looking to try a few flavours Nandos is definitely not anything to write home about and is a little pricy for what you get. I will try not to look for a place when hungry again because you more often then not end up disappointed when you go for the quick option

The addition got out of hand when at one point, my boyfriend and I where eating there almost everyday. It took all my will power to cut down to once a week. After wondering about why I was so addicted I came to the conclusion that it was the service. The service there is out of this world. Nothing warms my heart more than when somebody remembers my order, enquires genuinely about my family and looks happy to see me.

No taste. They cook chicken like count down or paknsave. They should learn from Lincoln road Nandos.read more

Went here for lunch today because had never tried Nando's before and we were in the area. We ordered the Portuguese Paella (with MILD sauce) and the Chicken wrap with a side of fries (with HOT sauce). And then it all went downhill from there. Here's a list of things that went wrong: - We didn't get a table number, so the waitress didn't know which meals we ordered and got confused. - We received no water or glasses for the table, even though other groups had this. We had to wave our arms around to get the attention of the waitress. She finally brought over a bottle of water, but then disappeared. She didn't even bring water glasses! So, we had to get up and ask for some. No apology or anything. - The chicken in the wrap was dry, there was one slice of tomato and it was mostly just lettuce leaves. My friend had asked for 'HOT' sauce and there was absolutely no spice to it at all. - The presentation of the paella was not good, and so so incredibly spicy that after one mouthful, I had to stop eating it. Obviously, they got our orders mixed up! I told the waiter that the paella is not mild and my friend's wrap is not hot. He didn't really understand, but said he could make me another paella and put a 'lemon and herb' sauce on it instead. So, out came the new paella. Again, it was really spicy - the waiter didn't do what he just said! My mouth was on fire and my friend also agreed that it was really spicy. The waiter then came over to ask how it was. I said "it tastes just like the last paella and it is so spicy!" He then replied "oh we used the mild sauce but just used less of it". Poor miscommunication there!!! Overall, a really bad experience. I will not be eating at Nando's in Lunn Avenue ever again and I will definitely be spreading the word!!

I ordered my usual 8 BBQ ribs meal from this branch and I received my meal. It was totally overcooked and the chicken was rubbery. I confronted one of the staff about this. The cook had come out to query the problem and I told him the same thing. He argued with me and didn't want to accept responsibility for his rubbery chicken he plated and sent out to a paying customer! I have never complained about my BBQ ribs in the past, until I visited this particular restaurant. He cooked a new set of BBQ ribs and that was more satisfactory than the first inedible ribs he sent out. However wasn't the best that I have received comparing to the other restaurants I have been to. I WON'T be visiting this particular restaurant again!

I am absolutely disgusted with the treatment I have received over the last week or so from the manager at the branch a Mr Gejo Samuel. Previously on several occasions I have spoken the store manager that my request of extra crispy chips has not been completed even though I have double confirm this over the phone order what the staff member taking the order. What is the point to give instructions over the phone while making the order if they will simply be disregarded? I do not believe I am being unreasonable all I am requesting is for the chips to be cooked a bit longer so they can be crispy instead of the soggy style that they are currently producing. Mr Gejo has made it explicitly clear that I am no longer welcome in that store by using profound language. Mr Gejo actions clearly reflect on the brand integrity of Nando's New Zealand. It is simply disgusting to see that your management staff has absolutely no respect towards their customers. I strongly believe that Mr Gejo Samuel auctions today have proven he is a very rude and condescending person as he simply goes around showing his attitude and patronizing superiority. This is just not on !!!

We were SHOCKED to find that their main item (peri peri) was out of stock. The lady at the counter then proceeded to sell us a peri peri salt bottle for $6. We continued to order, and were told they are out of " burger buns" and "spicy rice" too. The lady at the counter, while friendly was clueless on how to offer customer service. If there are so many items out of stock at your restaurant, either mark it on your menu, or close down until you've replenished your items. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
