Additional comments: Second time i have ordered takeout, they have repeated my order back when the food has arrived. I haven't understood a word they said as they talked to quickly and realised on return home that they had left out half the order.

Additional Comments: Terrible service, terrible food. I have been to Camden Nandos before on a weekday and have always expected to wait, but waiting up to 40 minutes for food to arrive at the table is appalling. I ordred my usual Chicken Burger and peri chips. When the food arrived the chips were soggy and the chicken was dry and inedible.
Had to rush off after the meal so didn't have to time to complain. The whole experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth!

Additional Comments: Stood at the counter for more than 15 minutes without acknowledgement while the manager walked around like a doorman providing no help to the person on the counter. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness |

Number of Visits?: This was my first visit.
Additional Comments: The branch is a 3 minute walk from Chalk Farm tube and around 7 or 8 minutes from Camden Town tube. You are instantly greeted with a unique circular mirror which is surrounded by empty bottles of Nando's sauce in the shape of a sun. This piece of decor is worthy of a visit!
I was pleasantly surprised to be seated straight away on a Saturday night at peak dinner time and there was hardly a queue to order either. Food arrived promptly and was of a high standard.
I recognised one of the assistant managers who had worked in my local branch (Edgware) for many years but explained to me that change was necessary in order to move up the Nando's ladder. Central London branches are clearly regarded as more important than ones in the suburbs!
All in all, an excellent Nando's and it is the perfect one before a night out in any of the wild bars or clubs in the Camden area. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness |

Additional Comments: I cannot even begin to describe how disappointed I was with my meal at this Nandos - I visit Nandos all the time back home in South Africa, and was super excited to experience a taste of home in the UK, never again. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness |
