Okay , this should be my second review as my son wanted to eat here twice during Belfast stay. The people , food , atmosphere and all around cleanness and ambiance was once again great. We need more of these in the US ! And the sauces are great from mild to hot ! Thanks again , we will be back for sure. And price was very reasonable for sure. Big shout out to this establishment ! read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 2018 - # 98/100 Might have been that it was extra hectic because it was dinner time on a weekend, there were a few mistakes with our order but no biggie. Was excited to eat at Nando's again but this place was a little underwhelming compared to the one in Windsor. The bold flavors that made me a believer in Nando's was kinda lacking here. The rice was undercooked. No such thing as al dente rice for this Asian. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Nando's - Fast Food Near Me - Belfast, BFS

Highly recommend if you're looking for food with actual taste. The chicken wings are freshly made, the hot sauce that was used gave it an exquisite taste but it wasn't hot as they claim it is, at least for a person that loves spicy food. Peri-salted chips had a seasoning that is made with crunchy almonds, cashews, and macadamia nuts in a fiery PERi-PERi seasoning (I may be wrong about the recipe so just verify with an employee) which gives the fries an amazing flavor in my opinion, almost like Wingstop's seasoned fries if you ever been to the US. Don't get me started on the free refills which are amazing and so far Nando's is the only place that has refills. Overall service isn't something you really get in Belfast, or the UK in general, it's more of a get it yourself type of country. The vibe of the place is great, nice atmosphere. The restaurant was very clean, and everything was just great. This is my first time and I it is rare that I give you a review on the first visit, but this place was great and I will most likely go and try different food on the menu.

Nando's - 10 piece wings w/ chips and mashed potatoes - Fast Food Near Me - Belfast, BFS

This place was a surprise from the norm ( it has good reviews online). Each day was a challenge for us, to eat in Northern Ireland/ Belfast (Pubs and bars were plenty) so it was not always kid friendly. Also, some establishments looked good but were not open for dinner and definitely not open past 9pm. That in itself was a challenge given our sightseeing itinerary and family of four. This place is tucked away on the upper floors of the popular Victoria Mall. Steps from City Hall and many trails, located alongside other restaurants in the mall. However, this was a one of a kind find. Peri Peri Chicken is what to order here! South African style chicken and spices make this place unique. The chicken, no matter platter style or in a sandwich, it was excellent. Moist, tender pieces of chicken, plenty of sides and drinks on the menu to compliment the meal. The sauces are great here, not that the chicken needs it but it's for those that want to add flavors or for dipping. The Peri Peri sauce is what makes them so popular. It's a South African hot pepper and made in sauce form. Packs some heat! Great compliment to all of the menu items offered. I would totally recommend this place. It's also casual dining so you don't have to worry that you look tourist-y. Hee hee Do be sure you order at the counter and they'll bring the rest to your table. read more

Easy delicious dinning. If you like chicken you should definitely try Nando's. I had the chicken burger with Pineapple. To play it safe, I stayed with the Lemon Herb seasoning and it had a peppery background, it was nice and flavorful. The bun was ok, but the chicken, cheese and pineapple really made the sandwich. Chips were decent, ketchup helps especially as they cool down. The office gents I went with had a variety of chicken choices from the boneless butterfly to 1/4 and 1/2 chickens. They all raved about the seasoning and then began to dare each other to try the sauces on the table. The one that caused an immediate reaction (Coughing, Running Noise and Watery Eyes) the one in the black bottle. Make sure you have food to chase it down, it may burn the throat :) in a good way. Service was very friendly and accommodating to our work group - 10 of us. The bill came out to be $203 USD, not bad for full plates and sodas for everyone. No one...NO ONE left hungry. I look forward to trying the boneless butterfly chicken with medium heat next time! read more

We visited for lunch one day during the week while we were in Belfast with the two kids on mid term. We had to queue to get in, as we hadn't realised it wasn't open until 12. It was quite busy, and the queue was quite long but we were seated very fast once they opened the doors. Staff were friendly, service was very quick but I have to say that the food quality just wasn't up to par. It was a typical Nando's really, but, the wraps we got were soggy and had too much chilli-jam in them. We ate them, no complaints but it wasn't anything to rave about. Kids enjoyed their meals though, so I guess that's the main thing for us but I wouldn't return in a hurry. read more

LOVE Nando's!! Haven't been since my student days and forgot how good it tasted. For anyone who has never experienced Nando's its basically just chicken, chicken and more chicken cooked in a variety of spice! It comes in platters of chicken wings, 1/2, 1/4 and full chicken breasts, burgers, wraps and pittas! You can also choose a side or two to go with it, my fav being spicy rice and peri peri chips! The most amazing thing about Nando's is their vast array of deliciously spicy sauces! I would recommend all of them especially the garlic and herb. Today i tried the lemon and herb which had a nice kick to it and i will definitely be using this when i go back! For anyone who is that little bit more daring with hot food try the XX hot sauce and you won't be disappointed! Service was great and the waitresses were pleasant and on hand to make sure everything was good with our meal!! Everyone should go and embrace the Nando's (thumbs up emoji) read more

Nando's is nice, just not really my cup of tea. They do offer a few veggie options and I recently lunched on their portobello mushroom and halloumi burger. It was good but I found the medium sauce even too spicy for my tastes. However the price is good, service efficiently pleasant and the Portuguese wine tasty so I will return. Next time I'll just investigate super mild sauces without the chilli kick. Spice fiends will love this place. read more

Although I quite enjoyed the food at Nandos, I think I may be getting too old for this kind of dining experience. We got off to a shaky start by not knowing the ropes. How was I supposed to know that you queue up, order and pay and then go and sit down and wait for your food?? The waiter explained this to us slowly in a 'dear God not another one' fashion. Noted for next time, which there probably will be now that I have got with the system. So we settled ourselves after that departure from traditional ordering and waited for the food. Not too long which gets a thumbs up as this isn't the sort of restaurant I would go to to spend the whole evening. I like to match my drinks with my food so I went mad and had a Portugese beer. Didn't order a second. Oh and for fellow Nandos virgins, Nandos serves Portugese food. It seemed only right to have the signature peri peri chicken and I liked it. Not loved it, liked it. The husband opted out of the sauce and cutlery gathering slot completely so I did that which I found a bit faffy. We had garlic bread and chips on the side, after I had actually laughed aloud at the very thought of paying £3.75 for corn on the cob. How amusing. I think the side orders and sauces would be where you need to be careful, especially if you take the whole family. A large portion of chips is £3.75 and extra peri peri sauce is 50p a shot so keep an eye on those things if you are budget conscious. Nandos defo has the novelty factor and there are burgers and wraps for anyone with an aversion to peri peri sauce. There were lots of over-excited noisy teenagers there when we went (Saturday tea time) but we didn't get too bent out of shape as we just wanted a casual bite to eat before the cinema. I will definitely give it another go. read more

Nando's - Fast Food Near Me - Belfast, BFS

This is a perfect place to go out in a big group. Lets get one thing straight at the beginning. This restaurant is by no means fine dining, it is cheap and good value. It is rather quirky which will have you wanting more. It mainly offer burgers and chicken. The chicken is its best dish and you can choose the degree of spice or heat you desire. It is the kind of place that you pay before you eat then the servers will deliver your food to you. I like eating here because you can enjoy your food knowing that you have paid for it whilst enjoying free drink refills. They have a club card which you can get stamped and sooner or later earn a free meal. Love this place read more

I've been wanting to try Nando's for a bit ever since a friend told me about it (they just happened to open a location in Chicago!). I got their hot-spiced Peri Peri chicken with a side of Peri fries and coleslaw. I really enjoyed the 1/4 chicken and the coleslaw (and I NEVER like coleslaw). I thought it was a really big portion for one person which I would never complain about! Even though it's a bit pricey (but what isn't in the UK?), I would go back. read more

Nando's - 1/4 chicken with piri fries and coleslaw. - Fast Food Near Me - Belfast, BFS

Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE Nando's! Our 'usual' is Bedford street, but I have eaten in this branch a number of times. They have a good layout which is all on one level and tables to suit groups of most sizes. Service is friendly and efficient and the food is up to the usual great Nando's standard! I absolutely adore the butterfly chicken with creamy mash! I only knocked a star off for this one due to location. If you're in Victoria Square then it's perfect, but if you're going out especially to go to Nando's, the Bedford Street one is the better choice as parking in Victoria Square is expensive! read more

Nandos is my favourite place to eat when I go to Belfast. Every time I go to Victoria square with friends we don't even talk about where we are going to eat we just know we are going to nandos. The food is brilliant for the price you have to pay and the staff are very helpful, if you aren't a fan of spicy foods I wouldn't get and hotter than medium spice on your chicken or medium sauce. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in Belfast and looking for somewhere nice to eat read more

The food here was tasty and filling. It was well presented and very fresh. However, as a group of 4, two people got their food first, then we waited 10mins for the other two meals. I went up to check and didn't get so much as an apology. Nando's in itself is overpriced for what you get. Self service and semi-fast food should bring down the ludicrously high prices you would think. read more

Oh Nando's, you were a beacon amongst the fog. You saved us from the impending danger of the rocks...aka McDonald's...and you came through brilliantly. After a long night (and early/late morning as well) of drinking, our stomach was calling for food. As soon as we saw that black and red cock above our heads, we knew we had found the spot to get a good portion of food in us. Nando's delivered. Consistent as the tides. There was an actual line of people waiting for them to open at 1pm on a Sunday, that's how much people like their chicken...and we were no exception! read more

"There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright oh-Nando(s)". Abba always were a band with such great taste, and they certainly do not fail with these fantastic lyrics, which although do not directly refer to this great restaurant, could almost be written in awe and wonderment of Nando's. I have to admit, I've been a fair few times to Nando's. It's the 'old reliable', but I am constantly excited each time I venture into the tantalisingly aromatic restaurant. The smell (or perhaps 'scent' would be more apt), wafts up ones nostrils, and the happy, joyous Portugese music helps to create a wonderful atmosphere upon entering Nando's. The friendly staff are always on hand to aid you should you be a Nando novice, and the self-service layout, is in my eyes, a much quicker and handier way of doing things. On this particular occasion, I arrived at Nando's on a beautifully sunny evening with my boyfriend, having been turned away from another, unmentionable restaurant, who threatened to keep us waiting 45 minutes for food. And so to Nando's it was. Both of us being Nando experts, we sailed in, picked a lovely wee table on the outside of the restaurant, immediately chose what we wanted and queued. As I searched frantically for my Nando's loyalty card (no prizes for guessing just how close to that free whole chicken I am...), my boyfriend questioned the number of our table, having evidently forgotten to check. A quick scarper back to table 44 (on my behalf naturally), and we were ready to go. Let this be a lesson to all you newbies...do not forget the numero de table! It will have a detrimental affect, not least to your poor growling stomach. A short wait in the queue, a well-recited demand for choice of food and a green stamp on my card later, we returned to our seats. A mere 5 minutes after, our food arrives. I'm exceedingly 'boring' when it comes to Nando's - chicken wings always do it for me! Lemon and herb...yum yum yum. Another note to you inexperienced Nando visitors, 'medium' peri-peri chicken is really rather hot. I have found that the milder flavoured chicken works rather well with lashings of 'medium' peri-peri sauce. It also aids in the testing of such a flavour, for it may not be to everyone's tastes. And so, back to dinner. Except it's pretty much all gone...wings, coleslaw and chips, washed down with two large glasses of tap water (a mere £7.80 some-odds...I know, you'd think I'd remember!). Well, one trip to the toliet later and we are done. No room for a dessert, although the chocolate cups are highly recommended. There we have yet another satisfying trip to Nando's. I'd probably have shares in it if I could... read more

Oh yes, at last I get to review somewhere that I had a truely shocking experience. I had been to this place a couple of times and had no real problems but the last time I was here it was a shocker and I simply couldn't believe how long it took to get our food. We were sitting with a group of other people and we were all having a bit of banter. We all ordered at the same time but the others had got their food, eaten it and finished by the time we got our food. When we said to our waitress about it she seemed completely uninterested and in no way able to help us. She sent over a manageress who, to be fair, apologised but it really was a shocker. Lots of people have given this place 5/5 but I really can't see why. The food is so basic and just about has a taste never mind even thinks about being tasty. Bad stuff. read more

Ate here on a sunday, busy spot for sure.... The staff are so nice , all so obliging to help... and are all really cool to talk to. It was my first time ever in Nandos and I will defo be returning.. It was myself and 2 of my work mates, we had the wings platter and wow the garlic bread and wings with (lime sauce i think and the medium sauce) delish... the chips could have been a lil better with a bit of a peri peri powder woulda melted me but awesome!!!! The staff were all so nice, the manager Lynne wow she couldnt do any more for us. We ate like kings... The atmosphere was so good in the place... I wish i had room for dessert thats all i can say.... read more

If you like waiting long periods of time for mediocre food this is the place for you!

Nando's - Fast Food Near Me - Belfast, BFS

Oh Victoria Square, why did you do this to me? When you have a love for chicken and are very hungry and crave some chicken but don't want to go to KFC, you can often be stuck for somewhere to go. And then like a cocaine addict looking for a fix, Victoria Square sold me some Nandos. And now I can't get enough. Nandos is a terrific place. You have a huge choice of food and more importantly than that, you have an even better choice of sauces. The Peri Peri is a favourite of mine but I found if you mix a few you can create something magic. The first time I went here, I was a bit confused as to what to do because it involves more than pointing to a menu and waiting for food. But once you have a hold of it, the experience becomes a bit more enjoyable and a bit more personal. Plus when you have food this good and a bill that is no where near as high as you first though, chances are you are going to want to come back. And I did. Many many times. The one on Bedford Street is really good, possibly even better than here. But Nandos in itself is well worth a visit. read more

Just had a 1/2 chicken for £7 because had a hankering for some Peri-Peri... Ordered and paid for online, technology...! However, while the sauce (extra-hot, go on I dare you) really is the bee's knees, I really do not see the big deal and why everyone raves about it. Yeah the chicken is pretty good I do admit but let's be perfectly honestly, the chips aren't great and the sides tend to be quite small and it's extremely overpriced for what you actually get and one my visit I've found the staff member I dealt with to be a bit rude, something that should not be happening in a big chain restaurant like this! Takeaway service may make me use it now but I wouldn't go in and deal with the hectic environment. read more

I love Nando's, don't get me wrong. In most instances I often settle for mediocre vegetarian dishes and accept them as an unfortunate consequence of eating out. Nando's, as a relatively cheap dining option, has a vegetarian fare that is a joy to behold. However, this particular restaurant made almost had me question my previously unquestioning faith in all things Portuguese chicken restaurant related. The service was nothing short of abysmal. The wait times before and during the meal were especially frustrating due to the fact that my visit had by no means coincided with anything suggestive of an evening rush. Now I don't expect a Zagat-rated dining experience at Nando's, but there's a definite problem with the service when it takes nearly three quarters of an hour and a couple of polite reminders just to get coffee and dessert. read more

I love going to Nando's with my family, we all love spicy food. If there is one thing I noticed is that when I tried the "Hot" hot sauce, it was more spicy than the "XX Hot" hot sauce to me. I dunno why it was. read more

A typical Nandos restaurant, however I think this is one of the most popular ones I have ever been to as there is often a queue out the door. Staff are always friendly and helpful. As much as I like spicy food I tend to get my Nandos plain and then add a sauce to it for that kick, although sometimes I think the sauce is hotter than the peri peri spice in the chicken. Love the fact there is free refills on soft drinks which is good when I being my nieces here as they always want more. read more

Although I have only been a carnivore for the past year and a half I have to say, I have been coming to nandos for years. They do the peri peri well, it may be a franchise but the food is always an excellent standard and if you are not a meat eater, they have great alternatives. I always went for their beanie pita burger with chilli jam, the patty was tasty and the jam gave it a great kick. Their sides and salad are excellent too with the portions being big. Since becoming a carnivore it have expended my options, the wings are very tasty, not lashings of hot sauce but it's like they are fresh off the bbq, and grilled to perfection. And if you are feeling adventurous they have a wing roulette with each variety of peri spice, all their way up to their Extra hot. It pricey enough, but their loyalty scheme means you will get the odd free meal if you are a regular, and with their free soft drink refills you feel like they are not totally shafting you. They serve beer, wine and sangria, I would recommend their Super Bock beer, it's a portugese and whenever I go to Portugal I pretty much drink it instead of water, it's so refreshing!! (I don't advise replacing water with alcohol, it can't be good for you!) read more

If half stars were available, I would probably put Nando's at 3 and a 1/2 but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy this place. Nando's has a fun vibe, is kept clean and a great place to take the family. When you are ready to order, you go to the counter and give your details. The food and drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but you do get free re-fills, access to all of the sauces you need and we have always had great service.Of course, some find it annoying that you are greeted and seated, yet you have to go and put in your own order, get your drinks, cutlery, etc. We have found that the best deal for our tastes is the ten wing platter (we get the mild mango marinade then add one of the hotter sauces at the table). For fifteen quid you get ten freshly grilled wings, and two large or four small sides. The smashed minted peas are my favourite. The chips are average, but they do make a nice coleslaw and a good spicy rice. This along with drinks feed two and a baby however, we often add an order of hummus (the peri peri drizzle makes the starter) and pita and munch on it before the chicken arrives. If you enjoy grilled halloumi cheese or would like to give it a try, it only costs a pound. If you enjoy chicken, give this place a try. It is a nice change of pace and a slightly healthier option. read more

Called in today with the kids first time eating here. I have to say It will be the only time. Food when arrived was cold. The fact of having to que for 20 mins then be told it would be another 10 for a table when there was clearly 2 tables cleared?? Having then to que again to order your food sorry I was over it. The kids chicken strips that where meant to be plane were not so my daughter ended up eating chips. Never again. Each to there own but not my cup of tea read more

It was my first time and boy oh boy was I confused... You choose your spice, then your main, and you are offered then the choice of 2 sides or 1 extra special side. Then you queue up at the till a bit like McDonald's, order and pay. Its a cross between a fast food outlet and a restaurant. The 'waiter' looked at me blankly when I asked to place an order 'You no been here before??' he asked with a curious expression on his face. No I said obviously not of I would know how the whole secret system works. Some customers were obviously practised in ordering and they were rewarded with fancy bottles of intriguing looking sauces, we just got the bare bones what we ordered and were not offered any sauce. Obviously sauce is not for Nandos virgins. Food came out with speed, I had a burger, chips (with fancy salt according to the menu, but it looked like plain old saxa to me) and corn on the cob. My aunt had quarter chicken, rice and garlic bread. I don't know where they get their chicken from but honey that ain't never no quarter chicken! It was a drumstick with a bit of excess flesh hanging off it. Quarter chicken my arse! Chips were cold, burger was OK, but not all that tasty really, the corn on the cob was great but then again it would be hard to get wrong! The best part was the little bowl of spiced assorted nuts we had for a starter, but man they were salty, I was up all night after sucking the water out of the tap. Just OK. I am beginning to think most of the restaurants in the Victoria square are total crap. Should have gone to Pizza Express. read more

Good nandos but I'm a. It biased, as the one on Bedford st is much nicer in terms of location and ambiance. Either way thus one is grand and the food is delicious! read more

Nandos is probably my favorite place to eat in victoria square. Its well organised and the service is fast, perfect if you only have a short lunch break. My personal fave is their chicken burger which is done in a pitta style bap with medium Peri-Peri sauce. This is a great place to visit but you need to like chicken as most of their menu is chicken dishes. read more

Tasty chicken but at the end of the day it is just an expensive variation on KFC with more chillis. Ambience is also a bit school dining room as well. read more

I don't know what the huge deal is with Nandos. After hearing about people droan on about it for months, I decided to visit and give it a try - and left disappointed. Anyway, service wasn't great, they didn't explain the system very well and it took forever for our food to come, and it wasn't even busy. They actually mixed up our orders - some chicken dish came and the waiter ran off quickly and disappeared before we had a chance - the dish remained on your table untouched, for about 10 minutes until we were able to alert someone. It was for the guy beside us. They actually lifted it and handed it to the man - how vile. Surely that isn't good health and safety practice? A newly prepared dish should have been given to the man, and he should have been given an apology as well. The food - not great personally. I thought the sauce was actually vile! Not my thing at all, and I'm not fussy! The chicken is chicken. What can I say? It's also expensive for what you get.. Wouldn't come back here in a hurry. The only thing I liked were the free refills for your drink.. read more

I went a month are so ago in Victoria square Belfast and I loved it never had been before ,the food delicious and the staff where so friendly just awesome loved it love Nando's :) read more

Well, it would seem like I'm late to the party with people who can say they've had a 'cheeky Nando's'. But, better fashionably late than not getting there at all. We popped in looking for somewhere to grab a bite late Sunday evening while trying to put in a few hours waiting for the Titanic Halloween fireworks display. I was slightly unpleasantly surprised by the prices beside everything but went ahead with it anyway. It didn't take long after the food arrived to bring me round to the idea that although a little expensive, since it's a once in a while treat it would be A-OK as far as I'm concerned. We got one of the whole chicken platters between the 3 of us and everyone loved it. For the price the portion of chips (Nando's special salt and peri peri) was a little small but very (VERY) tasty, the bottomless drinks were pretty good and I did my utmost to claw back value in diet Coke alone!!!! Finally the star of the show (well...... plate) was the whole chicken. This was sectioned into 4 and had been cooked to tender perfection itself. My wife picked the medium heat marinade and I picked the hot sauce for the table, when put together this made for some of the tastiest chicken I've had in a while. Thoroughly enjoyable all round. Id always discounted the Victoria Centre for food outlets as overpriced and not great, but Nando's has broken the mould for me in this respect, looking forward to another read more

I'm from the States and this was by far my favorite restaurant in Belfast!! The food was cooked perfectly, the sauces flavorful, service was great!! The atmosphere has a fun vibe to it! I'd recommend Nando's to anyone!! read more

I've heard good things about Nandos but was not impressed when I visited. It appears to be attempting to do Portuguese style fast food. The food was average at best and the portions were quite small. The chips/fries aren't great and I did not enjoy the corn in the cob and sweet potato mash at all. I've been twice and I don't think I'll go again. read more

average sides nothing to write home about , Chicken well cooked and tasty .Nando's sauces are obviously what you're paying for as without them it's overpriced chicken and chips . Best advice i could offer is buy the sauces and cook it at home . Staff are pleasant and helpful and deserve a tip . The atmosphere is relaxed and the facilities are spotless . read more

I haven't eaten here in a while but I found the food to be good and the staff to be friendly. No complaints here!

Have to admit. Great fun atmosphere and good, tasty food. slightly gimicky but it adds to the charm
