Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great place and Lisa was an absolute gem of a server. She went round all tables to make sure they had all cutlery and sauces. George was a great head of house"
"My friends and I arrived at around 7:30pm and were seated immediately. Dining as a group of four, we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. The dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, we had main meals and sides, all being very tasty defo worth it! I was genuinely impressed by the quality and flavour. The restaurant itself has a modern, stylish interior that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Located conveniently near St Albans town centre, this Nando’s stands out for its excellent service and great food. The sauces were fantastic, especially the lemon and herb, which is my personal favourite. I used my NHS ID card to receive a 20% emergency services discount, which was a much-appreciated gesture. The food was served promptly, and every member of staff we encountered was polite, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!"
"Great food and service! The wings were tender enough to pull the bones out clean, and the burger was fantastic. The chips were served piping hot, and the staff were very accommodating. Plus, the coloring activities kept our toddler happy while we and he ate. We'll be back again, thank you."
"I'd like to give a warm, hearty shoutout to two excellent employees and, now, dear friends, Abdullah and Ranielle. My mission was vital. If I didn't pick up my butterfly chicken meal (medium spice) with sides (spicy rice and tomato salad) at an appropriate temperature, dire consequences may have befallen my already-fragile day. Luckily, these two guardian angels, freshly descended from the land above, shepherded my meal through the shadow of the valley of death (kept it warm) so I could pick it up safely, happily, and with my cortisol levels pleasantly regulated. Please promote these two gentlemen this instant and give them salary raises. Who knew angels could take the form of Nando's employees? Not I. With love, Sonny."
"As usual, Nando's didn't disappoint. Ordered food came on time and tasted great. We had the full platter, (which consists of whole chicken with 2 large or 4 regular sides). We went for 2 large sides of spicy rice and chips. Yum!"
"Nice lunch at Nando’s! Very tasty chicken with great BBQ flavours. We were warmly welcomed by Miguel, who has amazing customer service skills — he even came by to check that our food and experience were perfect. Highly recommend!"
"Having used to come here every lunch time back at school 16 years ago this time I visited with the kids and partner. the man who served us -I wish I got his name -because the food was standard Nando’s- don’t have much to say about it but the man was amazing. Great customer service, lovely friendly great man. Sorry I didn’t get his name. I got the vegan wrap which could have had extra filling and less wrap if I’m honest but the kids enjoyed their kids meal. My husband said the fino pitta was mediocre. Back in the day I used to love it but I think the standard of them have generally gone down. But the customer service today was great. Thank you for being so accommodating and warm."
"I ordered the 10 chicken wings with sides. The chicken wings are delicious for sure and the sauce makes it to another level. I also love their chips with the peri-peri powder. The dish is enough for two men as a meal."
