Number of Visits?: 2-5 How busy was it? Half full Time of day? Weekday lunch Additional Comments: I was in a huge hurry to get to university but I was so hungry I decided to pop in Euston branch on my way there, since it’s in such an easy location just opposite the station. I only had an hour so I had to rely on this branch being fast!
The staff were nice and friendly, greeting us, showing us to table, the usual. The Nandoca who served me was smiley and happy as were the rest of the staff, so no complaints there with 4/5 for friendliness.
The speed of the service (which I was relying on being fast) was thankfully really fast! The food arrived in just over 5 minutes! Really fast! Though there was a few minutes between my food and my girlfriends being brought over, so I had to sit there waiting with my food in front of me… Also they forgot to bring her perinaise so she had to go up and ask for it, after which they brought it over quickly and apologised. I’ll give the speed 3/5 because they forgot the perinaise.
The food tasted pretty good, my usual butterfly chicken with peri chips and garlic bread. The chicken was delicious, covered in extra hot sauce. The garlic bread was also awesome, crispy and garlicy. The portion of chips though was tiny, with the tiniest sprinkle of peri-spice on them, I’ve had other regular portions of chips twice the size of this one, they were nice though but not nearly filling enough. So I’m going to have to give food 3.5/5 it would be higher if not for the tiny portion of chips that massively disappointed me.
The décor is pretty average in this branch, though it has a wide variety of tables. Including large tables in the middle which are separated by rows of different Peri-Peri sauces, this is convenient in the ways that people sat at the table have easier access to them and also because it will be large groups of people at these tables they have their own sauces and there will still be plenty of sauces left for everyone else. It also has the high table which is along the window, I really like these seats, you can just sit and people watch while waiting for food/eating, and since it’s opposite the train station there’s always plenty of interesting people to observe. Because of these table features that I haven’t seen in any other branches I’ve been to I’ll give the décor 4/5
So overall, a good visit to this branch, really good that I can rely on it to be quick when I’m rushing to Uni! I was in and out in half an hour. So get yourself to Euston Nando’s! | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 4 | 3 | 3.5 | 4 | Meaning | Good stuff.

Additional Comments: Saved the day for a birthday night out. Needed somewhere close to Euston station and this was AT the station; the neighbouring Cafe Rouge turned out to be just that - a red cafe - and not a restaurant, so Nandos stepped in at the last minute.
Nandos at Euston Station is a proper restaurant - constantly busy with the footfall of a bustling station, but able to seat you without much delay and serve you food quickly enough to catch your train, without hassling you to vacate the table if you're just enjoying the evening.
There's plenty of yellow-line parking in neighbouring side-streets for evenings, but for daylight hours you'd be better off taking public transport - but given where it is, that's not a problem. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | Meaning | Not bad.

Number of Visits?: My first visit! How busy was it? Half full Time of day? Mid-afternoon or Late Evening Additional Comments: This branch was really easy to find, I was just about to get my phone out to search for it when I saw it right there over the street outside the station. I went in, asked for a table for one and got shown to a high table facing out the window, something I'd never experienced at Nando's before! It was interesting lots of one person seats in a row.. But unfortunately as I got up to order they sat somebody RIGHT next to me, even though there was other free seats! This annoyed me a bit as I had little space for my food. I ordered my usual food, Butterfly chicken extra hot with two chips and garlic bread. I did not ask for peri-peri spice on my chips. I got my drink and went back to my seat, the first thing I noticed was that my coke seemed more watered down and less tasty than usual which was disappointing, however I sat and waited for my food, my stomach rumbling! I enjoyed the high table in front of the window, it was fun to watch all the people walking by outside. When they brought my food I noticed that they had put peri-peri spice on my chips, I hadn't asked or paid for this, obviously the spice is delicious but I'm not sure what to think of them putting it on without asking me... The garlic bread was undercooked and not burnt enough for me... The chicken itself was delicious covered in extra hot sauce.. mmm.. and It was a very big piece. There was plenty of chips and by the end of the meal I was so full I could barely get up, but eventually I had to stand up (squeeze through a tiny gap with a person sat right next to me) and leave the restaurant, with the waitress at the door giving me a smile and the usual Thank You. It was a good branch but not the best I've been to, I would recommend it. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Meaning | Good stuff.

Number of Visits?: 2-5 How busy was it? 10-25 minute wait Time of day? Weekday dinner Additional Comments: I say N/A for parking but there is in fact a car park at Euston station! I'm guessing it is expensive, but in theory it could be used for a visit to this branch.
My second visit here in as many weeks, the main thing that stood out was Peter the doorman. He was very attentive and you could tell he was taking a lot of pride in what he was doing - much better than the average door staff who blandly ask 'have you been to Nando's before'. The rest of the staff were rather average so this visit can have a 4/5 overall.
Decoration has been described before so I'll get straight on to the food. It was very tasty and my burger was a decent size. Chips were abundant and the rice was just right and not clumped together.
This is a solid branch which can get very busy during peak times due to it being right outside Euston overground station. This is also a convenient location to start a night out (especially when meeting a friend who has just got off the train), and what better way to start a night than with a Nando's?! | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Meaning | Good stuff.

Number of visits?: 5-10 How busy was it? Almost full Time of day? Weekday dinner Additional comments: As my party and I entered this Nandos, we were greeted after sometime waiting by the draughty door with a very average "How many" followed by being seated. All seemed very distinctly average, besides the added bonus of having the sauces already set out neatly right on our table, which saved us from grappling with the standard Nandos problem of how to carry the cutlery / sauce / soft drink / napkins / extra plate in as few as possible trips. My party also admired some of the more unusual wall decorations, definitely ups the decor score.
Once we ordered our food, the problem of slow service began. An apparent mother's meeting had been arranged by the staff at the very time everyone (including other table's) food finished being prepared. We sat, called upon our waiter, no reply. Chit chat chit chat. I saw my medium hot Portobello mushroom halluomi wrap awaiting my consumption on the 'hot plate' equivalent waiting to be served. Alas it sat there for 15 minutes, along with all my friends food, whilst we attempted to beckon our waiter over. Some people even went and picked up their own food! A few disgruntled minutes later they grudgingly put the food on our table - how dare we disturb their chat.
Besides this fiasco, the food was just perfect, especially or medium; there was just enough spice / peri peri on my chips to satisfy the spice level I needed without needing additional spice sauces or without burning my mouth out. Brilliant!
This is an easily accessible Nandos; during the day the bustling Euston station serves up customers in quick succession, whilst after the congestion charge ends and parking becomes free (after 6.30pm) one can park across the Ring Road with only a 2 minute walk to Nandos. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Meaning | Quite rude, Ignored me as they walked past | 15 - 25 mins - Where is the food?

It happened to me when i was opening the door to a new world namely to a new class.
I walked into the room full of students . After a busy day, our teacher invited us to "Nando's" , paradise for gourmet.
I was impressed with "Nando's" , a breathtaking place with hospitable people.
Not to mention the delicious food , I felt that the food was made with love .
You feel that everything in "Nando's" is made for your comfort and convenience.
An adorable , outstanding , unforgettable place for parties with friends or just for lunch with your family.
We left "Nando's" with smiles on our faces , we were real friends .
I'm in Moscow right now, writing this review with great sadness because unfortunately we don't have "Nando's "here but
I'm sure that i will return to London with my friends and without a shadow of a doubt, we will go to Nando's. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Meaning | Wow, I feel incredibly welcome!

I had spent 3 weeks with these people and this lunch at Nando's was the perfect way to end it all! The food was great, even though it wasn't hot enough ;)
I ordered the half a chicken extra hot with extra extra hot sauce, and it could have been hotter!
But the food was really nice, tender and really delicious, a great experience!

Number of visits?: My first visit How busy was it? Almost full Time of day? Weekday lunch Additional comments: Euston Nando's is perfectly located for UCL students with it being right outside Euston Station and a couple of minutes from Gower Street. I was informed by the branch manager that having 3 toilets (all are unisex and one is disabled but all customers have access to all of them) in this particular section is a privilege held by Nando's (and not the neighbouring outlets) as the building is secluded.
This visit allowed me to finally introduce two Italian friends to Nando's and they were both impressed. One had a quarter, medium with peri chips and the other, a couscous salad. Service was good as their food arrived before I even sat down, within a matter of minutes, my half extra hot and 2 peri chips were sitting infront of me, waiting to be demolished too!
Portion sizes were good, the thought of dessert was inconceivable. My friends did indulge in some choc-a-lot and thoroughly enjoyed it even if the ice cream (one of them was convinced it was butter) was slightly below par.
This is the 2nd branch in the UK with sauces on the tables (the first being Broad Street). This is of course convenient and adds a nice touch. Will other branches be following suit? My extra extra hot sauce was not available however.
All in all, an excellent Nando's. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 4 | 4.5 | 4 | 4 | Meaning | Good stuff.

Number of visits?: My first visit How busy was it? 25+ minute wait - come on Nando's! Time of day? Weekend dinner Additional comments: Thoroughly enjoyable visit to Euston Nandos, despite waiting over 30 minutes. The delay was due to the influx of football fans as a result of the FA Cup Final (obviously they wanted Nandos before they jumped on their train home). The staff were very friendly, and apologetic about the wait. The decor was nice (especially the wide array of wine behind the cashiers). A large Nandos with space used extremely well. There were 2 toilets (not gender-specific) which made waiting times lengthy, however, me moaning about the toilets is nothing new. A highly recommended Nandos. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Meaning | Wow, I feel incredibly welcome!

Number of visits?: First visit! Additional comments: Popped into this Nando's at about 7pm on a Wednesday and it was packed. I was in a party of two and was advised there'd be a wait of 20 minutes for a table or a few minutes to sit on the stools by the window - so went and sat on the stools of course! I needed a peri-peri fix. It's a small Nando's that has a table squeezed into every space possible. There's no room to queue properly to order the food or while you wait for a table, so you end up queueing towards the entrace - which means you stand between other people's tables. If anybody wants to get past you to get to the toilet or deliver some food, it often meant in people being hit on the shoulder or back. Over on the stools by the window it was a little better - room to breath at least. I suppose it all adds to the atmos - but on this occasion I think it was a little too busy. There were park benches outside, but I'm not sure if you can sit at them with your Nando's! On this particular visit, because it was so busy I was expecting a little wait for the food and it took just over 15 minutes to come. The food was very average - I didn't expect a fresh batch of chips or anything as it was so busy, but it still satisfied my needs. Right by Euston station so great location for the Tube. | Friendliness of Staff | Speed of Service | Quality of Food | Decoration and Cleanliness | Rating | 3 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Meaning | Not bad.
