Especially on Sundays in the city centre. I was both hungover and tired which made it even better. I needed food, every single place selling food was busy. Bad times. We went over to the Printworks because everywhere else was absolutely rammed. We walked through and surveyed the chain restaurants around us, settling on Nandos as the best of a bad bunch. My friend I was with is a fussy eater and Nandos let you pick exactly what you want so it was a winner in our eyes. You know what to expect in Nandos, you pretty much seat and serve yourself, they just do the cooking. I think that's why I was surprised to be met at the door by a very happy and friendly door host who escorted us upstairs to the child-free area (what a great idea, other restaurants take note!) and gave us some menus. Of course we still had to go to the till and order ourselves but the guy there was equally as happy and helpful despite things getting really busy. Our food was served promptly and was really good, exactly what I needed. The other servers were dead helpful too, you really expect minimal service here and what we received was above and beyond. I went back on Wednesday and it was just as good again. Maybe this branch is just a lot better than others but I know for sure I'll be back again before I actually finish my Christmas shopping!

From the outside the store does look quite nice, however it is only accessed through a series of large steps making it impossible to come here with wheelchairs or prams. The staff seemed unwilling to help and quite poor service overall. Inside, it is pretty much a typical Subway store in terms of décor, it doesn't feel the nicest or most modern of places, it is just okay if of course you've managed to get into the store. This store is below average in terms of most qualities, which also considering the access to this store being terrible and the poor service, I sadly feel this branch deserves a single one star rating.

I usually get slightly overwhelmed with so much choice, but for some reason that is never the fact here, maybe it is because there is literally a food for every mood! there is... Pakistani, Chinese, Italian, Mexican American and British. It is also quite an attractive place to dine, there are huge glass windows to two sides of the restaurant which let in alot of light during the day, the atmosphere has always been chilled when I have gone, never noisy or rammed.. all in all quite a tranquil setting, even I suppose for the lobsters awaiting their demise in a tank by the entrance! The service is friendly but sometimes seems a little chaotic in busy periods, this have never detracted from my experience though, as the food is good... not earth shattering though. Considering the surrounds and choice, put that together with the reasonable pricing, and you are on to a winner! Expect to pay around £7 for a main course! Certainly a nice place to go with a group of friends, especially in no one cab decide what type of food to plump for! You can order take away food from here too.

The music seemed slightly disjointed with the Mexican food we ordered. The food came promptly and the portions were generous. We shared a three starter dishes for £12.99 which I thought was a nice touch; enabling us to try 3 different dishes for a reasonable price. The crispy chicken bites were particularly good. My friend was disappointed at the small number of wraps he got with his fajita but was given more on request with no extra charge. His fajita mix (I tried it) was delicious. My steak enchiladas were decent but didn't pack as big of a flavour punch as I was hoping for. On the whole it was a decent and filling meal for a not unreasonable price but I do not think I'll be rushing back.

As described to me, this is basically like a Subway for Mexican food and burritos, but with the pricing of Marks and Spencer for food which is basically like the scrapings from the left over meal you give to your dog. It is quite expensive here, and I don't think they took my allergy as seriously when I physically entered the store, although my server seemed okay, she could have done more to convince me it was a good place to eat for gluten free, like what happened on my phone call with the store. I ordered a naked burrito with mild salsa, and some of the add-ons, honestly with the lack of a menu, with it being "Do you want this? That?", I basically didn't have a clue what I was ordering or getting, I actually though I was getting some sort of burrit, rather than something that looked like a pile of scraps worth pennies, rather than £8.75, without a drink! The salsa was probably the only thing nice in the meal, and they wasn't a lot of it, the beans didn't taste very nice and the meat and combination of everything else, just simply tasted cheap and tacky and like scraps, and quite poor. I also ordered some chips / nachos, which were okay but they also were not what I was expecting, I was expecting more like chips as on the menu, which adds to it being more confusing. I ordered cheese sauce for extra, and she said she would bring it over to me, but I had nearly finished my meal for when it arrived, and what I did taste of it, simply tasted cheap and sickly, which considering it was "freshly-made and straight out the pan" , that is unacceptable. I certainly won't be rushing back here, or to any other branches in the future, with poor service, a confusing menu, low quality food and high pricing being the main reasons for the 1 star.

Booking the monthly girly night we had originally planned to visit Bembrasil. However after…read morereading Mark B review he has said he wouldn have rated it higher if he had not attended Fazenda. Looking at the website I thought it was worth spending that extra fiver as it looked swisher. Using the websites booking system it was very simple to pick out slot for 19:30. On arrival there was a reception desk who immediately acknowledged us and a waitress who I felt had been waiting for us led us immediately to a comfy leather booth. The waiter who served us for the rest of the evening queried whether we has been before. When we all shook our heads he explained that after helping ourselves to the salad bar we would simply flip this carded disk to green when we wanted meat and red to stop. After choosing a fazenda cocktail and malbec we waited for our drinks before we set off. The booth was stunning we were walled in by bottles of wine . In front lay the well presented salad bar and the lighting in general made it feel eloquent. Browsing the salad bar made me happy it consisted of various cheeses, sushi, stuffed peppers, dolmas, asparagus, stir fry, mushroom and other rices, roast potatoes, pork stews, prawns in mango, whitebait, chorizo and many others . Basically it wasn't your average salad bar it was creative and hard not to go mad with it. Sitting down with our catch we flipped the disk to green and let the meat commence. The service was so frequent and attentive there were no gaps on waiting for meat when it was set to green. We had beef skirt, pork belly, chicken hearts (thought I would give it a go!) Rib eye steak and various other cuts of meat cooked to my standard I.e rare. However my friend was a well done person so the waiters would cut bits from different parts to ensure this. After devouring some minted lamb the waiter asked if there were anything else on the meat menu that we had not tried. Spying the chicken and bacon, black pudding and Gammon with pineapple we selected these. What I noticed is that they do have a veggie option of pumpkin and goats cheese risotto and gnocchi. They also offered tuna steak for pescaterians. To finish I chose a light sorbet consisting of raspberry, scoop of mango and a third scoop of lemon and lime. Overall I could not fault the service so we agreed to the service charge. The ambiance was great and the food. For £32.60 A head I would say it's worth it. I would suggest it's good for groups and couples.

After my last dining experience here, I began to feel unwell I originally put this down to new medication causing gluten like syntomns but after trying the gluten-free pizza again, which looked similar (nothing special in presentation) - it tasted doughy, chewy and disgusting with the toppings sliding off - Maybe the 'best pizza outside of Italy' was made with gluten by mistake? I then tried the gluten-free carbonara, this took a really long time and when it was served it was even worse, the thick sauce was so rich and sickly that I couldnt even have more than one spoonfull and I began to feel sick straight away, it was probably the worst pasta sauce I've taster - perhaps they added more to take away the fact the pasta was bland and the meat burnt/chewy? The staff then proceeded to block me into the restaurant while speaking about me in italian knowing I don't speak it which just topped up my vile experience which would even be embarassing for a chain.
