Nearby: 
just a few minutes walk from Great Victoria Street train station and just round the corner from the National Trust pub - owned by Nicholsons (The Crown). A ten minute walk will also get you to most places in the City Centre - St Anne's Cathedral, City Hall, Titanic etc. This Nando's is up on the third floor of the Victoria Centre. It is well worth going right to the top of the centre for a 360 Belfast view from the atrium.
Parking: 
Parking is wildly different and many car parks have very different opening times. For example, if you don't mind the 10 minute walk, park over the river by Titanic/Odyssey for approx 90p/hr - but park in Victoria shopping centre for £3/hr!

We were instantly greeted by a friendly very helpful young lady called Lisa who helped me through the menu and laced our order for us. She wa very friendly and fill of chat and made us feel special with her helpful attitude. load is what's missing from a lot of restraints. Customer care and feel good factor all delivered to us with dignity and a smile.

I was served by a girl named Rosie in the Belfast Victoria Square store. I've never had nicer customer service wherever I've been, she even gave me suggestions on different sauces as I usually stick to the same one. She is a credit to the store and I will be returning a lot more due to her service.

I have always enjoyed coming to nandos wether I'm with friends or family and whatever the occasion. This time I was just having a nice cheeky nandos with the lads as my friends call it.

So... another 26.2 miles down and what better way to comfort eat than another Nando's??

Had an excellent customer service experience from your server, David! Extremely polite and went out of his way to suggest rearranging my order to a platter to make it a reduced price but the same food! He was very helpful, very knowledgeable of the menus and making me feel happy to eat here.

This was my first visit to the Victoria Square branch, my first visit to a Nando's in Ireland and made me the first of my friends to visit a Nando's in Ireland too. For those that don't know, it's located on the top floor of a rather large Shopping Centre called Victoria Square. Victoria Square has excellent parking facilities in the form of a huge underground car park, the parking itself can be expensive depending on how long you are there for though.

*parking tips- park after 6pm as its prohibitively expensive before - £8:40 for three hours

*I got a Nando's transfer/tattoo. My friends are soooo jealous. I posted it on facebook and everyone was dying to know where I got it.

*Outdoor seating - a very nice touch. Sadly too cold to sit at it on Sunday

*Friendly staff, fast service, lovely food.

Situated in Victoria Square shopping mall in heart of Belfast, this restaurant is ideally placed for shopping, going to the cinema (Odeon) or sightseeing etc.. For cheaper parking consider the Park & Ride at Queens Bridge, it's only a short stroll across the bridge to Victoria Square, and you'll get the chance as you walk to get up close and personal with one of Belfast's largest pieces of public art "The Ring of Thanksgiving" lovingly known locally as "Nuala with the Hula".
