Asked for a bowl for ice cream machine, was given a plate! Ice cream machine then didn't work properly as got a bowl of white liquid. Staff adjusted it and I hot some ice cream, then there were no spoons to eat it. Told it would be a 10minute wait. What a joke.

Outstanding customer service, very welcoming, bathroom door could do with lock and garlic bread could be crunchier, but chicken was fantastically tender and sauce excellent as usual, waiter Finlay was very polite and kind, and an excellent fast service and good value.

I loved the food, the new server who served us, Finlay, was incredibly friendly and had a lot of expertise on the food this place had to offer, he was very professional and made our day brighter. The chef cooked the food perfectly and I will be definitely returning to this place

Greeted and seated straight away.
Ordering was easy though the guy was a bit dippy.

Someone cocked up because when the girl brought the wrong food over, she asked me if I was sure it was incorrect. Saw her then take my food to another table which they rejected. Then took her an extra five minutes to work out which food was mine but that was 20 in total til it came to me.

This Nandos is close to the centre of Oxford and very near the coach station holding a corner place on a busy intersection.

Parking will be a problem in the centre as the misguided council of Oxford are very car hating and have deluded ideas of transport, I parked for free on a residential street on the outskirts and got the bus in.

Pretty quick service, chicken was lovely as usual. I had half a chicken, mash and chips. Very close to the centre of Oxford, with a car park across the road. Fairly small and usually quite busy but this time there were a lot of tables available!

The car park across the road is quite expensive 24-7. As Rhona has a blue badge, we parked on-street and trundled in using her wheelchair. The only level access doorway is up a cobbled street which is somewhat uncomfortable in a chair but worth it to get a Nando's.

We loved the main lighting which is formed out of (empty!) sauce bottles each of which has a light in it.

Good food as we'd expect and friendly staff who loved the roses...

I don't remember having to wait for a table in quite a while but this was no problem on what was a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon spent in Nando's. I introduced some foreign members of staff at the summer camp where I've been working to Nando's for the first time and the other Brits were of course well accustomed to the peri peri chili.

First time to Oxford for a few years so had forgotten about the one-way system throughout the town and campusses... Still, if you just follow the parking signs for "Central Areas" you'll eventually pop out at Worcester Street car park and this Nando's is right next to it. I think the parking tarriffs apply from 8am-8pm. I got here at around 7:35pm so had to pay £3.10... but I think for three hours it's only £4 or so anyway.

Nandos in Oxford is the perfect balance between fine dining and cheap and cheerful! It is very popular yet I have never had to wait for more then 15 minutes for a table. The Staff greet you at the door were there are comfy sofas you can sit on if you do have to wait, It is perfect if your a student, especially for a quality inexpensive date, I have even taken my parents there and they also loved it!

The staff would not let our friends sit with us which was hugely distressing and severely damaged the overall Nando's experience.
There is a car park opposite but not sure how expensive it is.
