Nando's Canary Wharf Cabot Place

18.12.22 at 18:05 I arrived to Nando’s . Place is almost empty . Waited for a minute to be seated but no staff approached me . Lady sorting out take away bags can see that I am waiting , but not approaching me. I decided not to wait for staff as no one is there, and chosen a table to seat, and was about to scan the QR code to make my order. That lady who was ignoring me at the entrance and packing take away bags, approached me at my table and started telling me off for not waiting for her to give me the table. I explained that I waited for a minute and no one is there so I chosen to seat at the available table and it is almost empty restaurant, so what is the problem. She wasn’t happy with my explanation and kept telling me off that they have policy. I explained that I am sitting at the table already so what is the problem, staff was not there and I waited no one came. She kept arguing that staff were busy and I should have waited patiently before she would give me the table. I said, it is not a big deal I am already sitting so please leave me alone and don’t spoil my mood as I came here to eat and not to argue. She is not leaving me alone and keeps arguing and accusing me of being rude. I corrected her that not me is rude but her, as she is not making me feel welcome by telling me off and going on and on. Can you believe me and she is still there not leaving and keeps arguing. I repeatedly insisted that she must now leave me alone as I was already quite annoyed by such greeting. She ended that argument by saying that now that I know for the future and walked away. I left immediately as I won’t be eating here after she created me such a nice atmosphere. I better spend my money elsewhere. I went to Seoul Bird in canary wharf Jubily line shopping centre and had my dinner there instead , and was so pleased to discover this place as their grilled chicken is so much more delicious, it is nicely marinated before they grill it, and tastes so much better that Nando’s. And staff didn’t mind me walking in and choosing the table I want and were welcome and greeted me at the entrance and were polite at all times. Highly recommend Seoul Bird Korean street food restaurant. My stomach was very pleased with their healthy options of fresh salads and delicious grilled chicken. Nando’s staff should keep their attitude and welcome guests especially was so empty . No one wants this attitude.

We had a very pleasant meal here. The new orange and maple flavour was definitely good. Speed of service was very good too. Less good was the rainbow slaw which was quite tasteless and the garlic bread was tough and not warm. I wasn't happy that there was no corn on the cob on offer. I was initially irritated that normal Fanta has gone too but it turns out that Fanta zero tastes identical! Overall, despite the irritants, the food was good and I enjoyed the meal.

We had lunch here on a Saturday in this Nandos branch and had a subpar experience. The fries were not good at all, probably frozen. The desserts were bad: the brownie was stale and tasteless. The frozen yogurt (with vanilla as todays taste… machine was broken. Rest of the food was average at best, tasted like regular Nandos

Worlds smallest burger? Maybe it tastes good….? No. So thank god it’s small!

It's Nando's: the food is consistently good. Just a heads up—when ordering as a group, be aware that even if you order simultaneously (especially with the app), the food may arrive at different times. Our meals rarely came out together. We visited during lunchtime and were seated quickly, but it does get quite busy, so be prepared for a wait during peak hours.
