Ordered a Full Chicken Meal for £21, had 2 bites and asked to speak to manager to let them know that the Chicken was dry. Manager offered to change the chicken to a dessert (God knows how she got the idea to replace a dry chicken with Dessert). At least expect better customer service when they cant do anything about food. Came back hungry and £21 in bin.

Nando’s 93 was all the way back up North in Sunderland. Being a Saturday afternoon in December, I expected the city centre to be heaving, but when we arrived by car at about 4PM, we stepped in to what can only be described as a windy ghost town. The Nando’s is less than a minute’s walk from the multistorey car park, a giant illuminated Comic Sans sign pointing the way past the cinema and Frankie & Benny’s.

A mammoth journey from London to Sunderland came to a close once we found this standard city-centre Nando's in a busy area with a cinema, lots of bars and other restaurants nearby. Some key local knowledge helped us get free parking in the multi-story car park just up the road after validating our parking ticket in Nando's. Otherwise it was 90p an hour if my memory serves me right.

Having driven almost 5 hours the arrival at Sunderland Nando's was a welcomed relief. There was a bit of a queue to get in but that was all because the grand master was working on getting us a table for 10. Unfortunately this was not possible due to a real communication breakdown and the booth that should've been our was given away. Anyway we split up into groups and began the feast.

This store located on the edge of the town centre takes up 2 store fronts but has a number of businesses that have gone under surrounding it. It is quite a small store and is only on one level though there is a large enough space for a mezzanine storey but this has been used for a large wooden arch reminiscent of a railway arch. The toilets are at the back and to the right, the service area is to the left and there is a number of booths along the right.

This had some of the best decor I had ever seen in a Nando's. The tall ceilings and the chandeliers really evoked a feeling of the Med which truly made the evening a delight.

The drinks/frozen yogurt area could've done with being moved to a place where you won't have to keep moving due to people going to and from the cashier. Definitely worth a look!

Arrived at this branch around 7:45pm on a Wednesday night - and it was packed! It's located on Sunniside Leisure complex and also houses a Tenpin and an Empire with other restaurants too, so seems like the place to go in Sunderland!

After 6pm (or maybe it was 5:30pm), parking at Sunniside multi-storey was only 50p per hour, so really great value.
