The Water Gardens
CM20 1HL
01279 639509
Halal: 
No
Nearby: 
It's a retail outlet, so the nearest cinema is 1.5 miles away - with the nearest train station (Harlow Town) being 1.5 miles walk away.
Parking: 
Parking is at The Water Gardens complex and can be claimed back for up to two hours for anyone using Asda or Matalan - otherwise it is priced at 50p for the evening (8pm-6am) and all day Sunday - or Monday-Friday daytime at 90p/2hrs, £1/3hrs, £3/4hrs and upwards from there and a little dearer than that on Saturdays.

As a single diner I have never been made to feel so welcome and looked after by any restaurant but the staff especially the manager Gary deserve recognition for how well they work together as a team to have such a smooth running restaurant which has a lovely atmosphere and for making people feel so looked after. I’m honestly speechless for the service and food quality I received today.

I ordered a nandinos meal for my daughter. 1/4 chicken and two sides for myself. Staff was extremely helpful and well mannered. Two people stood out extremely were Erasmus & Clifford. Customer service was at its best with them both. I felt very happy with the service.

Food is below mediocre, every time I've been I've received a dry bit of chicken surrounded sides that are equally disappointing.
There is no guidance or help from employees in regards to taking orders, instead an app which then takes the attention off your dining experience so there's no waitering which could improve your experience. U are also expected to get your own drinks so it looks like the restaurant staff are there just to carry food and clear tables.

The staff were exceptionally good. Very polite and helpful, I had an issue with ordering due to my phone playing up and the staff went out of their way to help. The restaurant was busy yet my food arrived promptly and was delicious. This was my first time visiting Nando’s since the pandemic and I was very impressed.

I made an order online whilst in Water Gardens of Harlow Essex around 17:45. It stated that the order would be ready for collection at 18:20. We arrived at the restaurant for collection after 18:20 unfortunately we found out while waiting that the order had been unsuccessful. JAY (Male staff) stopped us on our way out and heard a quick chat with us before we left the restaurant. He encouraged us to order again whilst in restaurant.

Tony and the team in Harlow were extremely helpful since only opening a few days ago due to lockdown. They had a difficult customer to deal with while we were there that I think was handled superbly! The customer placed an order online but didn’t wait for the confirmation email as the website states like three times (we’re on your side!) thank you :-)

This was the first time going back to Nando’s after Lockdown. There were a few teething problems with ordering online, as the lady behind me in the queue hadn’t checked for her email confirmation and her order hadn’t been logged. She was incredibly rude to the staff, and had to be asked to leave by a member of staff (Tony). He handled the situation very professionally, attempted to explain the issue but had to ask the customer to leave after her swearing and verbally abusing him.

This is the best Nando's I've been to and I've been to many. The staff are extremely friendly and so helpful. I went with my toddler and got table service even though I said I could take her with me to order so that was a bonus. Harlow is by far my favourite Nando's to got go. Lovely food and excellent staff.

This branch is a bit of a trek for us, we needed to use the car then the tube and finally the train that runs to Stansted from 7 Sisters.
It's 15 minutes’ walk from the station, there may be a bus but we didn’t bother checking. We used a phone app, well one of us did, me and Gerry just followed instructions!
it's situated on the edge of retail park , facing out over a water feature and a massive car park.

I was at Nandos (Harlow) last week. Few people were working around the cashier desk...they kept talking on another language till I paid for my dinner.And they didnt pay much attention as they were so busy with their own conversation. It was annoying as I felt might they were talking about me or costume.

Tonight I have had my favourite Nando's peri tamer butterfly chicken with chips & corn as the amount of chicken that you get is fanonminal & the chips are my treat at the end of the week! The staff were so helpful & friendly as they always are, with great service. Parking is made easy as there is a big supermarket/shopping centre very close by with lots of space which makes access easy too.

Me and my partner took a quick bite to eat at the Harlow NANDOS, we like to have a good bit of chicken before our gym session at the gym next door, the restaurant is always busy but all staff are always on board and ready to help! #CHICKENISLIFE #NANDOSLOVE We are obsessed with Nandos! 5* for the teams effort to handle chicken lovers!

I live nando's food but don't go as often as I used too the potions size has got a lot smaller. The price has gone up,not worth the money any more.sorry as do love the food. Other restaurants are better value for money with a young family.

I came into Nando's a few weeks back with my daughter and partner and was greeted at the door by a lovely girl with pink hair. I didn't catch her name but she really made the entire experience for us. After visiting in the past we had terrible food and service! The store has since had a makeover and it seems it's gotten itself together. Our chicken was cooked lovely however I didn't finish it as I found out that hot is too hot for me! Next time I'll have the medium.

Parking near by is easy, unless the town is busy. This restaurant is one of the best I have been to, this is because its clean, staff are friendly and helpful and the food is usually very good. On this occasion the food took longer than expected but It was a Saturday afternoon and very busy so I could understand why.

This Nando's is located on the Water Gardens complex, which is well sign-posted by road. Parking is can be claimed back for up to two hours for anyone using Asda or Matalan - otherwise it is priced at 50p for the evening (8pm-6am) and all day Sunday - or Monday-Friday 90p/2hrs, £1/3hrs, £3/4hrs and upwards from there and a little dearer than that on Saturdays.

The Harlow Nandos is my local branch even though it's 9 miles away and I usually eat there around 4-5 times a month. Unfortunately I'm away at University now and there isn't a Nandos near me as I'm studying in Eastbourne (if there was a Nandos here it would be very popular among the students!)

Popped in on a Wednesday afternoon. Restaurant was probably about half full. Luckily we got given a table that could sit four (there was two of us) which gave us a bit more room as we find the 2 seated tables a bit tight for space, especially in this branch.

Now before I begin my review I have to say that I have visited this Nando's probably more than any other Nando's in the UK. This was my first visit in a good year due to not visiting the area as much as I once did and have had very mixed experiences in previous years with both the service, friendliness of staff & the overall experience in the restaurant.

A pleasant Nando's with outside dining available. Next to a huge Asda with ample parking day or night. The staff were mostly very friendly and happy to help, while the food arrived quickly and to an above average standard. Nicely furnished and close to many high street shops in the usually bustling town centre. Station was quite far from the town centre so expect a decent walk if coming by train. Overall a good Nando's.

Parking was free in the complex. Good visit overall at a time when the team began its mission to rate every UK Nando's!
