Food was delicious, lots of nice lemon and herb sauces given in the bag and the staff member who served us Caitlin was very friendly. Thanks :)

Had quarter chicken and chips plus kids chicken strips and chips really long wait only one server taking plates to tables despite I would say a dozen meals ready at service area she kept taking dirty plates to kitchen could see my meals wanted to go and lift them myself no urgency too slow food average at best regretted not going to noodle bar or KFC outside won't be rushing back or recommending to my friends I'm afraid

This was my first visit to Nando’s and based on it I will not be back.My food was cold and I had to wait 25 minutes for it.NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.Have NEVER complained about food before but if the food doesn’t improve this restaurant will not last long.It doesn’t matter if the restaurant looks good and staff are friendly if the food is rubbish!!!

Our satisfaction mainly due to our brilliant server Shauna Giles .... excellent customer service in all aspects of our visit . Going again this evening . We visit nandoes regularly as a family and with friends. Victoria square , boucher rd and Dublin road. Usually eat fillet burgers, piitas , wraps and advocado and quinoa salads etc. Abbeycentre will now be our local restaurant as we live quite close ,so hopefully this high standard will continue !

Stopped into this Nando's on a Wednesday evening around 6pm - so it was pretty busy and mostly with parents and kids still in school uniform... so maybe there was a parent's evening just gone on... It's on Abbey Centre Retail Park, which is quite big. Nando's is easily spotted as you drive around the whole complex, so just pull in and park nearby. There are hundreds and hundreds of free parking spaces all around the retail park too.
