    It's a weird concept for ordering. You go in and then get seated or have to wait for a table. Then someone shows you over the menu and tells you to order at the counter. But then the food is brought to your table. Very confusing but so what. We came in on a Saturday evening and had to wait 15 minutes. After we ordered our food was there within 10 minutes. But now to the food... The chicken is good, I had the mango&lime and the marinade was great. The chicken was tender but still a little room for improvement. The fries were cut thick and where very soft. Some people like it while some won't like it. Overall it's a cool place to eat but I don't think it's worth all the hype.

    In all my time in Glasgow there are many places that l have still try or go to, Nando's was one of them. Stopped by for lunch and not knowing the concept it was explained simply by the server Scott, all the staff that l met where polite and welcoming. I sometimes like to see what others have ordered to maybe tempt me to buy that dish, but from my position everyone's back was towards me and saw nothing. I do like the design and layout of the restaurant makes it look simple. A bit like JD Weatherspoon where you receive a menu and order and pay at the bar quoting the table number, the only problem with that is the queue goes through the dining area as there is only one person at the till, making the self service drinks dispenser impossible to get to. For my order l chose the double chicken breast burger a side of peri peri fries and coleslaw had to send back the chicken burger due to it not being at the right temperature the chicken was served Luke warm, with the replacement not being that warm either. I would recommend going at the beginning of the week as it would be less busy.

    Another great experience here at Nando's. i'm so glad I finally decided to eat here, and even more glad that I have friends who also have a love for Nandos. The concept is pretty simple. You're seated at a table with a number and handed menus. Once you've decided on what to order, you head to the till and place your order, mentioning your table number. You grab a glass, fill it up with drink and grab your cutlery and whatever sauces you fancy out of the at least 10 they offer for your table. Once your order is ready, the food is brought to your table and you're good to go. My most recent trip here, was, again, with a few friends of mine who love some Nando's. I ended up (after being told the 1/4 chicken was only ONE piece of chicken, ie. a drumstick or a wing, etc.) ordering a half chicken, which, to my shock was literally half a bird sitting on my plate. No complaints really, because I polished it off like it was my job, but I would have felt more like a lady rather than a caveman eating a smaller portion. One of my friends ordered the 1/4 chicken (blast!!) and another ordered a chicken sandwich. All came with sides, I opted for the rice and cole slaw, where my friends opted for chips. This particular location is awesome, bright, and huge. The windows are from floor to ceiling and lots of natural light is able to get in. We got in just before the lunch rush and thankfully so, as the place gets pretty busy pretty quickly. I really enjoyed my lunch here and will be back many times, I'm sure.

    How can you not love a cheeky Nandos once a while! It was ages since last time i had it, so yesterday after gym my boyfriend and i decided to pop in and have something to eat (we also had the red rewards on our Nandos card = free full chicken, yay!). I particularly love the interior of the restaurant in Sauchiehall Street, it is so original and different from any other places. Staff were nice and attentive and as always i enjoyed the atmosphere and the music. We had a light dinner and shared the whole chicken between the two of us, and then had a side each (he went for chips, i went for the sweet potato wedges). Next time i will try something from the new menu, there are a few healthy additions which seem really nice!

    New salad dressing! Tastes like pakora sauce hahaha

    Piripiri heaven of a chicken - spicy and cheerful - but the place was a little dirty

    I'm on vacation here in Scotland and when I spotted the Nando's last night, I knew I had to have it again before I left Glasgow.

    Wow what a major disappointment! I have never given a bad review of a Brazilian rodizio style steak…read morehouse. Viva is a mess the minute you walk in. Playing their music really loud and I'm deaf as hell so when I say loud I mean loud. Or 20 min wait ended up being 45 min even though there were lots of empty tables that needed to be cleaned. Once we were sat it was 18 mins before any server came over to ask about drinks. The salad bar area was in disarray. Options looked like bad cafeteria food. Now the meats. Can you say over cooked! , rubbery, dry and no flavor! The picana was almost un eatable. Seriously don't know how this place stays open. It's a far cry from a real churrascaria Thumbs down!

    In a word: meh. I…read morehad been looking forward to visiting Viva Brazil for ages after hearing so many good things about it, yet I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed. We had a table booked for 7:30, and we arrived about 10 minutes early. The staff asked us to take a seat in the bar area and we would be escorted to our table shortly. We then waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drinks orders, and another 5 for us to be taken to our table so we weren't actually seated until 7:40. Not a great start. A member of staff came over and explained the procedure: staff would come round with the different cuts of meat for us to try, it was all you can eat and when you can't eat any more, you flip a sign so they know to stop bringing you food. I headed over to the 'salad' bar to grab some sides, but most of the sides were stews, risottos and quite heavy dishes. I tried some of the pork stew, which was lovely, and grabbed some traditional Brazilian cheese rolls which were so moreish. There are 15 different meats to try, and we were determined to sample every one. We had been told that the meat was served medium rare, but I found that most of the beef either came totally rare, or very well done. There was no inbetween. The roast gammon was probably my favourite - it was salty, smokey and delicious. I wasn't really wowed by any of the other meats, although I didn't sample the Chicken Hearts - that was a bit much for me! For the full rodizio, which includes the salad bar and all the meat, it cost £24.95 per person. It's fair that by the end of it, you are ridiculously full and there is a novelty element to the meat being carved right at your table, but it seemed a bit much to me. The staff were very chatty and friendly, and often checked which meats you hadn't tried yet so they could get them over to you, I just found it all a bit lack-lustre. I don't think I would go rushing back, but I'm glad I experienced it.

    We love Nando's generally, and two families decided to,enjoy an impromptu Saturday night out at…read moreIntu/Soar/Xscape or whatever they're calling it these days! As usual, Nando's did us proud. We didn't get starters, and no puddings, but we really enjoyed the selection and choice for mains. My wife and I had the boneless platter and the kids each had 10 wings (one plain, one roulette!). The selection of sauces allowed me to hot the up on my plate. I love the garlic, mixed with lemon and extra hot. The perfect blend of heat and flavor. Most of us had chips, but we also had really creamy coleslaw and the mucho peas (gorgeous, by the way!). I do love the fact that they have unlimited drinks. Without that it can add a lot to your bill at the end of the day. Tip: As we work for the NHS, they gave us a generous discount on our bill! Excellent food, great value for money.

    This is the same as the last review I just stupidly reviewd X-scape not Nandos. My bad…read more I worked here for 2 years so I'm a wee bit biased. It does mean I know what goes into the food here and how it's prepped. I know the quality of the chicken is top notch never frozen and very fresh. Veggie stuff not so great as it is frozen and halal chicken at the quay well that depends who the manager is ehh Mike. Here with a group of 5 another birthday dinner. Seated straight away, we arrived about half 6 on a Monday night so I wouldn't expect a wait and it was fairly quiet. I had a half chicken extra hot with piri chips and garlic bread. Garlic bread probably my least favourite side but it's been a while since I had it and it still is nice. Been a while since I've had a nandos so the extra hot was hard to take. But I triumphed in the end and enjoyed every minute of it. Delicious as ever, the consistency of nandos is great,they have a simple formula and they do it well. The piri chips are a must youre mad if you don't make that one of your sides. Nandos has steadily gone up in price and isn't as good value for money as it once was. But it still is cheaper than most place and when the chicken quality is as good as it is you can complain. All in all nice ambience decent service, though it is limited as its not table service, I'll be back soon.
