They were all very welcoming, kind and respectful, there were two people in particular who stood out to me, one was a petit white woman, who I did not get to ask what her name was, she was wearing a red shirt and I think one of those waitress robes that go around the waist and the other one was a black person named Ashley, she had good vibes from when I came to order, she was upbeat, cheerful and very kind. Even came over to ask if we were enjoying our dinner.

For such an experience, i don't even know where to start. I came hungry for food and i left with a feelling of attachment to the whole damn establishment. was it the food? was it the staff and their manners? was it the manager? was it the environment? I did my usual order nice plain and simple 4 thighs and 1 side & 1 starter. the timing couldn't have been more perfect due to my pace of eating so maybe they got lucky idk. From my first bite to the last, it was just sensational.

As rated above food was good. But Ishaque took incredible care of me. Came in and told it was my first time at Nando's. My guy laid out the whole menu for me, gave me recommendations and everything. He made sure I knew what do to getting takeaway there and was super friendly. If I ever come back to London I hope he'll be there again.

This is one of the best Nandos I have ever been to. The welcome from Sarah was exceptional. She made us feel like we were family. The Manager was lovely, and in fact all the people working there were friendly, and kind. One of the young guys working behind the front counter was so sweet that he gifted us some cakes when we complimented the staff. Thank you so much x

I came to holloway Nando’s on a busy Friday evening. I booked a collection beforehand. There were many people and all the seats were filled. Staff were working hard and fast to complete the orders. Delivery drivers kept coming and queuing up. It was exceptionally busy. Nevertheless the staff attended to everyone within their capacity and answered any queries.

Always nice to have a new Nando's open in North London, and we have been spoilt recently with Southgate and now Holloway Road!

Parking was very on a nearby yellow line after 6.30pm, however I wouldn't fancy bringing a car here during working hours.

Stopped into this Nando's for a mid-afternoon treat! It's on Holloway road, which means it's Arsenal territory... so just be aware... you get me fam? It's just a minute walk from Holloway Road tube station and if you don't mind a few minutes walk, you can get two hours free parking at either Morrisons or Waitrose juts up the road.
