Nando’s

Everybody about 2 years ago was raving about Nandos.
I dont know why !
We where placed at our seats and then just left there.
We looked at he prices and i was shocked at by how expensive it seemed to be but people rave about it so it must be good.
This being our first time we waited and waited until i managed to get a waiters attention and said we were ready to order, too which he told me you order at the desk.
So ok its one of them places…
I go to the desk and order.
When my meal came i was again shocked at the overall presentation of the meal (i had a chicken burger).
I dont know if Stevie Wonder worked at Nandos Ashton but if he did then all is forgiven and i understand.
I’m no meal snob at all but if i had to pay the high prices, order the food myself i’d expect the food to
: Taste nice
: Look good
: Be value for money
Both myself and my partner only ticked one of these boxes. (i’ll let you guess which one it was.)
It wasn’t a very good experience and i have been told that we must have just got unlucky.
I’m willing to give them another try but my partner isn’t.
So my rating is based on this one time experience.

I generally enjoy going to a Nando’s. I’ve eaten in them for 15 years, from Cape Town to Cardiff and have mostly enjoyed every meal even though some restaurants might be a bit more worn than others.
But this establishment was atrocious. I’m used to waiting for a table and the busy atmosphere but I cannot abide queueing to make a reservation only to be ignored for a larger party behind me. If this is how the Ashton-​under-​Lyne franchise is run it is about time Head Office management were made aware.
Regarding this restaurant, save yourself the effort and a stack of cash by going to the Eat Inn opposite!

This is my local Nandos and it’s one of the best Nandos I’ve been in as far as atmosphere, service and style of the place.
Everytime I go here, it’s really busy and if we haven’t booked we’ve always got a bit of a wait but they have nice comfy sofas for you to sit on while you wait.
I always have a chicken pitta with spicy rice, my boyfriend and I always share a portion of chips with Perinaise sauce. We usually get Red Pepper Dip for starters, there’s plenty for two people.
Mostly with this Nandos we’ll ring up and order some food then go down to collect it, the food is just the same quality and it’s great eating Nandos at home while you watch telly!

I love chicken to I love going to Nandos. I have been to loads of them all over the country but my local these days is this one and I try to go as often as I can. When old friends come to visit we always go hear, its only ten minutes in the car and really easy to get to. I have always found the service to be great and the staff really take care of you. As always the chicken is the best, I normally just get the chicken burger but it is always great, mouth watering and leaves you wanting more. Nandos can be quite expensive because you get carried away but the food is well worth it. This is not the biggest Nandos I have been to but you always get seated straight away and the drinks and brought to you in a matter of minutes, the staff always check on you throughout the meal an are really quick to cater for you

My family love this place. Set on a multi complex of other places to eat, cinema and bowling alley.
The music filtering out reminds you of a past holiday. The kids love it. Always seated straight away. Chicken excellent and plates always empty when we a re ready to leave.
