“ Friendly staff, and fresh food. The parking situation isn't great as there's no dedicated parking for Nandos customers, so you have to park in the parkade behind the Nandos, which you have to pay for, and then walk around to the front. Other than that it is a nice enough Nandos to sit and eat, or to just pop in and grab a takeaway from. It is easy to find as it is on Main Road. ”
“ What started as a disappointing experience turned into something unexpectedly decent — but only after some real frustration. The Bad (Round 1): Walked in for a quick Nando’s fix and got burned — literally. Garlic bread arrived burnt, chicken came out dry with no basting, and service? Non-existent. I was refused a plate, greeted with zero smiles, and left sitting in silence, completely unacknowledged. I left frustrated and felt the vibe at this store was way off. A true letdown, especially from a brand known for bold flavours and friendly energy. The Recovery: After lodging my complaint, I got a call from the manageress, Andisiwe, who personally invited me back. Credit to her — she took full ownership and made an effort to turn things around. The Good (Round 2): Returned to the store, and though the greeting again lacked warmth, Andisiwe approached me with professionalism and we had a decent chat. She brought my order personally: 1/2 Chicken Extra Hot – steaming, juicy, and finally properly basted Spicy Potato Wedges – crisp, golden and satisfying Small Apple Capparinha – chilled and refreshing This time, the meal hit the spot. Flavour was , portion was good, and everything arrived hot. Final Take: It shouldn’t take a complaint to get basic service, but I respect the effort made to fix it. The food redeemed itself in the second round — shoutout to Andisiwe for stepping up. ⭐ Rating: 3/5 Would I go back? Maybe — but only if I’m met with the level of service shown by the manager, not the staff on autopilot. #BiteScout #CapeTownEats #NandosReview ”
“ This was my first Nandos and it was a fun experience, especially because of the sauces. We were treated to lunch here by a business partner and it was an honor to get to try one of South Africa's most famous exports! Note that the portions run small (which is better for everyone anyway :)). ”
