Halal: 
No
Nearby: 
New Street Station is just a couple minutes walk away.
Parking: 
The further out you can park, the cheaper it is - and those that are well-signposted are the most expensive. For example, parking at The Mailbox is £2.50/1hr, £5/2hrs, £6.50/3hrs and up from there. Edgbaston Street is £1.50/1hr, £4/2hrs, £6/3hrs and up. New Street is £2.50/hr. If you are familiar to Birmingham and don't mind a 5-10 minute walk into the centre, then park over by Moor Street Station, where places like Coventry Street, New Canal Street and Bordesley Street offer 70p/hr up to maximum of £2.20 all day parking

So I had a burger and 2 sides, the chips was the best thing about the meal, the garlic bread was average, just tasted like buttered toast.

Im sorry to say that the service was poor. First the waitress rudely pointed out what table number we were as there wasn’t one on our table.
Table was soaked with water and we asked for some tissue to dry it. Felt like we were bothering them and we felt uncomfortable to ask.
The. Our food came out in 3 stages. Which meant we couldn’t even eat together since the food we received wasn’t even warm. But after the way we were treated we didn’t even complain.

I have Never been so humiliated by any people in my Life!!
Rude and Unhelpful staff called Chris and Hollie should never work anywhere with people if cannot complete a simple change of food order without humiliating the customer and getting them so upset they empty their pockets onto the counter as they feel so attacked!!!!!

DISGRACE OF AN ESTABLISHMENT AND HORRENDOUS STAFF!!!

Worse nandos ever. To start with this place was pretty much empty. We waited 35 minutes for food because once I asked where it was they told us they was waiting for the wings, in that time they had left my pitta under lights for around 10 minutes so by the time it got to me it was cold. I told them to then be meeted by a very rude member of staff that told me that I was lying.

This Nando's is located right on the edge of Victoria Square where the Halifax used to be. This means it's only a couple minutes walk from New Street Station. Being a city centre, parking can be expensive. The further out you can park, the cheaper it is - and those that are well-signposted are the most expensive. For example, parking at The Mailbox is £2.50/1hr, £5/2hrs, £6.50/3hrs and up from there. Edgbaston Street is £1.50/1hr, £4/2hrs, £6/3hrs and up. New Street is £2.50/hr.
