This was the best Nandos I’ve been to in a very long time. Manager and staff were attentive and quick. I asked for peri tamer sauce and that was given considering how difficult it’s been to get that in the last few years. Honestly one of the best food experiences I’ve had in a minute.

Me and my partner came to the restaurant for dinner, we are from Northern Ireland and have eaten at Nando’s at home however our experience in London is as totally different. We were greeted at sat by a member of the team who was called Blue, he asked if we had visited recently before explaining the COVID protocols, he was extremely welcoming and made us feel very comfortable! His attitude to his work was commendable and I’d be great full if you could pass on our thanks!

Marcie Queen and Lisa are always amazing! My partner and I are regulars and they are always so friendly and make our day. Their service is amazing and they are always smiling and happy. We love going in there to see them and the rest of the staff are also so lovely. They know our orders off by heart, i always go for the fino pitta!

Thank you everyone! Xx

It was a nice way to round off a weekend of birthday celebrations which I had started the Sunday two weeks before. Mine and Jackie's monthly Nando's brought us to the Castle though I've been here twice before being on the website.. The branch is easy enough to find however not knowing which exit your friends are coming out from could be havoc on planning to meet before getting to the branch.

This branch is very close to the Elephant and Castle Tube Station. However it’s necessary to negotiate a VERY busy roundabout/junction, once you exit the station, to reach it.
The staff member who greeted us on arrival was extremely pleasant & seated us immediately in a window seat. It’s a shame the view is very depressing.

I love going out with my family, I think it is very important. What was the first spot my dad thought of? NANDO'S of course! When we got there we immediately got a table. The lady who served us was really lovely, she asked us how good we wanted our chicken, asked if we wanted olives and she even helped my dad get the best bargain we could. Later on in the night, I went to the toilet with my sister.

This was a half-planned, half-spontaneous Nando's visit with http://www.rateyournandos.com/users/oliviarosemh and, as such, didn't have my Nando's RYN gift cards to use (that said, I actually need to look for them).

An impromptu decision to go for Nando's resulted in http://www.rateyournandos.com/users/blaynos and I ending up in the Elephant & Castle branch. Having never been before, it took a while for us to get there – the tube station is a maze and it's a few minutes walk to the restaurant.

Brixton, Camberwell and now Elephant and Castle? I really do know how to live it up in style. Anyway, I really wanted to see this one, as I'd just read in the Standard that the night before a car had flipped into the subway of the roundabout - so it was like visiting a tourist spot.

This central London store is on a very well known roundabout and as such doesn't really have scope for parking but is relatively well serviced by public transport.

The chicken was so burnt it was quite unbeleivable how on earth they though it was OK to serve it.

My half chicken was a bit crispy, with a few burnt bits but the chicken was very chewwy and dry - it had obviously been left somewhere for ages. My friends half chicken looked OK, but once turned over the whole chicken was completely charred black carbon - not possible to eat. We were in a rush and so I ate my dish - but they replaced my friends once he turned it over! Bad show.

I went to this branch for a late lunch, about 3pm. It’s pretty easy to find from Elephant and Castle tube station, easy to see, but hard to get too. It’s on the other side of a huge roundabout which is seemingly impassable, me and my girlfriend nearly went the wrong way before we realised there was a big subway going under the roundabout, once we found that it was easy to get to.

This branch is fairly close to the station, and easy to find once we got onto the right side of the road. We were enthusiastically welcomed and seated straight away. Although the branch seemed hygienic, the décor was archaic and made the whole restaurant feel gloomy and enclosed. When ordering my food I felt disregarded as the server answered questions from customers behind me, and stopped to ask other workers questions irrelevant to my order.

I am yet to have a disappointing experience here... this is a great Nandos.

On my recent visit I had an extra hot chicken burger of outstanding quality and the attractive staff were super-friendly... even offering table service for drink orders.

This establishment is a beacon of light in a very dreary area of London.

My first time to the Elephant and Castle branch and its safe to say I won't be coming back - almost to the point where I would seek a different branch even if I was in the area. The area itself isn't great. The huge roundabout makes getting from the station to the Nando's unnecessarily difficult (I realise this isn't Nando's' fault), and there is nothing to speak of in the immediate area other than Ministry of Sound, which would be arrived at too late to make this Nando's practical.
