Nando’s

Nice friendly staff. Gets really busy so expect to wait when it is.
Sometimes pop in before the cinema.
Good lovely. Would recommend.

I love the taste of nandos food and you are always ensured the same quality no matter which branch you eat at.
The main problem with this location is that it is impossible to get a seat on a wednesday evening due to cinema goers and the orange wednesday promotion — the place is always packed and you have long waits for table. Also as with all nandos I have been in it does feel like fast food (but more expensive) and you do feel as if you are rushed off the minute your food is eaten. And the staff do seem like they would rather be doing anything else but serving you. I give 4 stars for food but 2 stars for service and waiting times.

My husband, daughter and I visited Nandos a couple of years back and it’s safe to say we won’t be returning! I had heard great reviews of the place so we decided to give it a try, as it is next to the cineworld cinema so ideally located for a post-​flick meal! We were seated at the back of the restaurant right outside the toilets, which was hardly an ideal location to enjoy a family meal! As a vegetarian I was not at all impressed with the menu; it was so limited that I ended up having a salad, which wasn’t nice at all, and a bowl of potato wedges, which were ok. My husband had the chicken with Piri Piri sauce which he thought was alright, but the portion size was far too small for a man-​sized appetite! My daughter also had the chicken but she didn’t enjoy it; although in fairness she’s a very picky eater so this is really no reflection on the food! I thought that the service was terrible, the waitress we had was rude and obviously hated her job. I really would not recommend nandos and will never return there as long as I live, it was very disappointing.

Speedy service here. Food is good however menu is all chicken. Situated right next door to the cineworld cinema so excellent location and parking nearby. Be warned though the hot chicken is very hot!

Nandos as a food chain is a pretty good experience. It’s a like a fast food set up in the way that you order your food from the counter and then help yourself to knifes, forks, drinks etc. The food is simple and mainly chicken based (it is a chicken restaurant) but they do do vegetarian options too. I love the sweet potato mash as a side and always have it.
The middlesbrough branch of nandos is right next to cineowrld cinemas so is great for a bite to eat before or after a movie.

I love Nandos. The only thing I would add is that when you first go and you get a choice of which chicken you would like and you don’t really know because you have never had them. I think they should do a sort of selection that you pay for and can have a little taste before you pay out money on a flavour you don’t like.

Nandos is located right near the cineworld cinema in Middlesbrough and so can often be very busy, especially Saturday and Friday nights. This is probably the only complaint as the restaurant is quite small. It is however quite a short wait to get a seat. The staff here are all very friendly, stopping by at appropriate moments to ask if the meal is ok. They are very happy to serve you. Parking is good as Nandos is classed as being part of the leisure park so you can park for free in blue spaces. White spaces are only free on weekends.
The prices are very good with you getting what you pay for and fill up an empty stomach!

As with all Nando’s, the food they serve is great. You get exactly what you pay for, and as you get to choose the accompanyments for your meal, rather than just getting given what they have, it means you get exactly what you want.
Compared to other chain restaurants this place is a little expensive, but it’s not too bad.
The only fault I have found that is on a couple of occasions the glasses they have given us have been quite dirty, and we have had to send them back and then wait for replacements (last time we waited 10 minutes for clean glasses).

I think Nandos is perhaps one of the biggest and best know chain of restaurants in the UK today. Nandos in Middlesbrough must have been open for about 4 year now. It is quite east to find as it sits on a main road, I go to the JJb gym next door so it is really tempting to nip in on the way home for a takeaway. Each time I have eaten at Nandos it has been an enjoyable experience. The staff are polite and friendly and always keen to suit you, the restaurant itself has one wall which consists of just huge windows and you can feel a little self conscious if you are seated there because everyone walks past and stares at you eating. It is quite a big complex so you and easily ask for a seat at the back. The only down side I found with Nandos was the price, it is surprisingly expensive so I tend to make this restaurant only on special occasions.
