We came here yesterday lunch time. I haven't been to Nandos in a few years as they have removed their Vegan options. I am vegan and not plant based so options are limited. I was excited to see they have recently introduced their chickpea burger which is vegan.

We arrived at the restaurant and it had the board outside for the chickpea burger. I was very excited to try this.

Lorenzo was amazing. He was our server tonight. So patient and charismatic. Genuinely felt like talking to a friend. I had the best time with my partner and we would highly recommend this Nando’s. Thank you :)

My salad was frozen, I told the waiter and then the manager came, he was very angry and rude and said they don't freeze the salad. It had ice crystals in it I told him to try it but he just took it away angrily and he basically brought me the same salad a minute later saying that it's new. All 6 of us thought he was rude and we heard him be rude to other customers as well. Not coming back here again rudeness really ruins my day.

My first time attending Nando's, so I did not know what to except. Many friends have told me Nando's is a good restaurant and that I needed to try their Peri-peri sauce. I went to the one in the Brunswick centre and ordered a chicken platter, two corn on the cob and chips. If you are wondering, yes, I did get some Peri-peri sauce. The food was average to be honest, nothing worth going back to unless I order something else the menu such as a sweet potato mash.

Apart from the 20 minute wait for the food, which was worth the wait, I can't complain.
The staff were amazing, friendly, attentive, and D'Artagnan, I mean Sebastian was an excellent host.

Thank you, Rate Your Nando's, for another fantastic reviewer dinner. It's always a treat to see all of my Nando's friends and enjoy a new Nando's at the same time. Although my food was perfectly fine, the outstanding feature of this particular Nando's was the manager, Sebastien, who was friendly, positive and shared our love for Nando's. He got involved in the quiz and supported us excitedly throughout our entire meal.

I travelled to my third RYN reviewer dinner on the train from Bedford to St. Pancras and then just one stop on the Piccadilly line to Russel Square. This Nandos at the Brunswick was to be a new one for me and I was very much looking forward to both trying a new restaurant with the RYN regulars and enjoying the peri-peri chicken on offer.

Catching up on a couple of reviews ahead of RYN6 - this is from the previous reviewer dinner. The front of the restaurant was somewhat obscured by work going on but, once inside, staff were fantastic (unfortunately I forget their names but both the main host and French(?) waitress were really friendly). We were sat at the deep end of the branch, pretty much having the area to ourselves; and I won a tenner gift card that paid for my meal, always good!

This reviewer nando's event was situated in a rewlly nice location. It is accessible by a number of tube lines, the closest being Russell Sq. I had to wait ages for my food which was annyoing because I was quite hungry. The art decor was your standard nando's. We had a lovely area which was more than enough to fit us alll in. Nevertheless it was good when it arrived and I believe we won the quiz, which got me another free bottle of sauce!

The Brunswick looks like nothing I've ever seen before in Central London. It's literally a stone's throw away from Russell Square station (Piccadilly) but it almost feels like you're in some Garden City when you get there. I believe the whole complex is a former post-modern multi-purpose complex, with extremely odd shaped residential housing above.

Hallelujah for reaching Nando's 91. Indiscriminately picking a Nando's branch and going there just to reach the triple numbers club by the end of the year!

So, after the disappointing grub at King Cross, I had a short walk to The Brunswick for my second chicken fillet burger and chips!

This one is located in The Brunswick centre, which is home to plenty of other restaurants and shops. It's just round the corner from Russell Square tube station and about a 10 minute walk from both Kings Cross and Euston train station.

This store is in the modernist area of the Brunswick centre which somewhat resembles a set out of clockwork orange with its tiered residential flats and balconies up above the piazza framed with shops restaurants and a Waitrose store at the far end. It is a conveniently close to the Russell Square tube station and I would say finding parking close by would most likely be hard to do so at reasonable cost.

We had a bit of a mixed bag with this Nando's - some chickens were overcooked, others under done - with no skin :s But service was pretty quick, which is a bonus at lunchtime.
The restaurant's been closed for a week for a refurb, but doesn't appear to have been changed very much - maybe a lick of paint.

Brunswick Nando's is a great place to have a meal with family and friends. It is located very close to Russell Square tube station and short walking distance from the main road and public transport. It's located in a small open top shopping centre, also nearby there is a lot of high street fashion shops like FCUK, NEW LOOK, RIVER ISLAND. Lovely place to have a meal when your out about doing a bit of shopping. There is also a cinema which is located few yards away from the Nando's.

Another great visit to The Brunswick, portion sizes here are great! I was unable to finish my half chicken and 2 peri chips after sharing houmous with peri drizzle to start and demolishing my side of Halloumi. I felt ashamed of myself but also glad that I was in such a position due to generous portion sizes unlike in recent visits to some other London branches.
Staff are fantastic and really make you feel welcome with genuine enthusiasm and passion for the Nando's brand!

Upon initial conversation with the woman behind the counter, she seemed a little miserable, but after a while she brightened up with a little smile here and there. However it is preferable when entering a restaurant to be greeted by chirpy and friendly staff. So that was a little disappointing, however the man that brought over our meal was very friendly and made a little recovery on behalf of his colleague.

The interior is rather impressive due to the carefully selected lighting and artwork which provide a warm and welcoming environment. Arriving at 9pm on a Saturday night was no problem as we were seated instantly and did not have to queue before ordering. Food arrived promptly and was of the expected standard. Parking was easy and free but Warren Street station is a short walk away if public transport is needed. There are many flash bars and shops in the vicinity in the heart of London.

The perfect accompaniment to a night out. The brunswick contains multiple shops, restaurants (obvi choose nandos) and a cinema. Near a park as well in the centre of town....ooo picnic!
