I went in Nando’s Vauxhall and the atmosphere was of peace, and happiness. The food as always was great, fast, and delicious. Special mention to Pascal the Italian man. He was superbly amazing.

Excellent service provided by Charles. Very polite, friendly and chatty. The food was excellent and came very quickly. The atmosphere. The deco is quirky and inspiring.

We went at the time the cricket finished in the area. Very busy, but great and quick service with friendly staff. Well organised. We were impressed.

I wanted to give a massive shout out to Mark and the team. They were incredible. They were attentive and friendly despite having five members of staff unwell.

Mark went above and beyond. He was so kind and delivered 5* customer service. Thank you for making our already amazing and emotional day, unforgettable.

I know we're all getting used to this new normal but there needs to be better organisation between customers who want to eat in and one's who are picking up orders. I was waiting in a queue unnecessarily for 15 mins as I had already ordered, just wanted to pick up. Better signage and more proactive staff would be great.

Waited for my food (whole chicken and fries) for a ridiculous 40 min. On the 30 min mark we asked a floor staff if she could go and check the status of our food. She never got back to us. The next time we saw her she returned with another customer's food, who was 10 waiting number behind us. When I stated that this was unacceptable, she gave me the sighing, rolling eye ATTITUDE and blurted "I told you I am going to the kitchen to check" and ran off to the kitchen.

The food was nice. A couple of hiccups initially however was served by a very nice and polite young man named Teo who was extremely helpful. He had such great customer service skills that it inclined me to write this review.

Also, it is interesting that the Nando’s is under the ark by Vauxhall’s train station and very unique.

I tried the new sunset burger and it was delicious.

My daughter has got a severe allergy to milk, when I order our meals I mentioned this to the cashier (Vinny, I think he's the manager) he advised on what to eat and left the till after I made the order and cleaned the kitchen facilities and personally made my daughter meal himself. I really appreciate what he did and It made my day. I will defiantly go back to Nandoes in Vauxhall again.

Thanks Vinny

RYN6 approached, and having visited this outlet before when it was quiet, and receiving excellent service, I looked forward to visiting this outlet again with the RYN team.

My 1st visit to this branch, for the RYN 6th Birthday reviewers dinner. it's very easy to find from both the South-West train station and the underground station. Look out for the massive sign pointing you in the right direction, through the walkway/tunnel under the main line tracks. The branch is massive with a beautiful curved ceiling covered in small wooden panel/tiles. As we were a large group, the staff put us into a side section of the branch.

I didn't ask where the food was, but staff were very apologetic due to the length of time I waited. They weren't to know I was second last to order behind about 20+ other people from the RYN 6th Birthday dinner party gang.

This RYN reviewers would be my first time at Vauxhall arches Nandos which is only 30 seconds stroll from Vauxhall station.

The first thing to say is that Vauxhall arches is a beautiful location that make the most of its space. The arched ceilings and bright signs really make this location unique, cosy and it’s very well done.

I really enjoyed this Nando's, thought it was in a great location, near tube/train stations. And we had our own secret booths which was cool. Food took a little long to come but that's nothing out of the ordinary. Another successful RYN event.

Hello! Today I wish to tell you of my excellent experience at the 6th birthday party for Rate Your Nando's. Returning to this Nando's was a highly nostalgic experience as this was the location of my first ever Reviewer Dinner, an encounter that led me to fall in love with the co-founder of Rate Your Nando's and to engage in a long-term romantic and spiritual relationship together. And thus, I expected to have an excellent time at Vauxhall Arches Nando's.

I attended my first Rate Your Nandos event at Vauxhall Arches. On entering it is a gorgeous Nandos and I love the arched ceilings. We were placed in little side rooms for our event, which were very small and rather cramped and as the evening went on it got rather hot and stuffy in there. I do understand why they put us there but I'd like to go back and sit in the main restaurant area. The food took quite a while to come, but we were a big group so that is fair enough.

Went for my parents 30th wedding anniversary. First time visiting this branch, from when we entered the restaurant we received 5* service. Was shown to the table straight away. Was served at the till within 2 minutes. Very friendly cashier. The food came within 5 minutes of sitting down. We didn't even get to finish our olives yet and food had already come!! Chicken was nicely cooked (not burnt like in other nandos) big portions, lots of chips! and fresh coleslaw.

Vauxhall Arches

Possibly one of the randomest and stylish outlets I have been too, is Vauxhall arches.

Approaching from Vauxhall station, you are guided by bright neon signs, taking you right to the front. You enter through a revolving door, and after a short interlude, I was given a hand gesture to suggest "pick your own table". After choosing a central table, I sat down and perused the menu.

I had initially planned to dine at the euston branch but when the guy at the train station said the nando's was a two minute walk i thought why not have my 72nd nando's there! On exiting the train station i saw Nando's hanging at the side of the bridge and followed the tunnel to the other side. Situated like southwark arches the site incorporates the tunnel.

Since the last time I went to Vauxhall it was closed for a private do (which was fine as went to the great Clink Street one), I was keen to get back to this Nando's as soon as possible - and today was that time!

This is under the railway arches, so is right by both Vauxhall tube and rail stops - and it also just half a mile walk from The Oval cricket ground, so easily found.

The day had come: free whole chicken day. Had spent the whole morning salivating at the prospect and it was Vauxhall branch which had the honour/misfortune of watching me devour it. It was the first and only time I'd been to this branch since the RYN event dinner, so was interested to see how different my experience would be.

Google maps and Nokia maps have real issues on where this store is and how to get to it, in reality it is in a railway arch on a major road to the eastern (away from river) side of the railway line. To assist you to get to it when you come out of the Vauxhall train/underground/bus stations you will see iluminated neon signs directing you through the pedestrian tunnel under the railway lines to the other side where you will find the Nandos on the left.

Went to the RYN event and it was fantastic! Free goody bag, starter and I got a free (bottomless) drink too!

Can't fault the dinner in anyway - even the '3' for Speed of Service is more than acceptable due to the number of us there. Great stuff.

This visit was of course for the Rate Your Nando's contributor meal, I hadn't been to this branch before so I was excited to see it, It's quite easy to find from the tube station, as there is a sign just over the street directing you through a tunnel which has Nando's on the other side just to the left, I arrived a bit late and found everybody sitting in a private little room with different sections and even its own cutlery and sauce area, we also got awesome goody bags with cool Nando's stuf

Glad to win half of Ricky's full platter in the raffle and enjoyed being in the private room. It sure was different from your average Nando's. We had a slight problem with the voucher but it got resolved in the end. I also enjoyed becoming the person to have attended most RYN reviewer dinners apart from the team, 7/9!

Table too small, we had to move for dessert. How good is halloumi!

Wasn't my favourite Nandos experience. We were put in a tiny enclosed booth which made us feel squashed and claustrophobic. This wasn't the fault of the organisers, but the restaurant itself. The decor was quirky, but not to my taste. It seemed cold, dingy and soulless, like worn-out service station. This was accompanied by the sewage smell when I entered.

Deep in its cavernous surroundings, I had a Nando's epiphany. As I was handing out the raffle tickets and forcing Marc Joss' friends to give him money for things he already had for free, I realised I needed another side and became most discombobulated with the options I could retrieve. Should it be halloumi? Should it be some variety of salade? I realised the only choice was to embark down the route of macho peas and what a fantastic choice I have made!

Another exceptional contributors' event. One of the biggest turnouts so it was a very fun evening. That being said, it wasn't it without some speed bumps along the way. The food was good, as expected. I remember the wings being particularly spicy, which I enjoyed. There was an above average waiting time, which didn't get people too rowdy as there was plenty of conversation with such a large group. It was a great event but could have been that much greater with impeccable service.

Welcome one and all to the Uber King Of All Nandos ... the much hallowed and talked about Vauxhall branch. Yes this branch really is peri peri good! And here's why it hits the spot ... from the moment you walk through the revolving doors you feel like Clarke Kent changing into Superman as you are indeed greeted like a superhero by the many attentive and extremely good looking staff, whisked to your table where that all important cock on a stick is placed down to signify you have arrived.

A trip to the recently opened Vauxhall Nando's was a fitting way to end a brilliant day of football which saw Arsenal beat Spurs at the Emirates. Vauxhall Nando's had opened earlier in the week and it really is something special. There's a revolving door as you go in, something I don't remember seeing anywhere else!

Marc has already described the excellent decoration at this Nando's so I won't go into too much detail, but suffice to say, this Nando's is truly unique.
