Shout to a lovely staff member named Fayiza who without even asking noticed my friend’s food hadn’t arrived and quickly went to find out the delay and within a minute was their food. She even gave a complimentary ice cream for the inconvenience to my friend as well which was very nice for her to do. Thank you Fayiza.

The staff that took our food order and served food were amazing , however Ricardo the manager did not have a good attitude . We waited over an hour for our food and Ricardo claimed he did not know we were waiting , after asking Ricardo what he can do to compensate he said nothing .Our food was served separately and by the time it all arrived most of the other food was cold . The only reason i am giving 4 starts is because of the guys in the black T-shirts their service was excellent .

This is my first time writing a review for Nandos Brixton and I must admit that it was an amazing experience! The order was easy to make, and the staff were extremely helpful in accommodating my special needs child. The ambiance was great, and the food definitely lived up to my expectations. My child has severe autism and was on a tantrum when we got at the restaurant. Fortunately, the Manager in charge gave us an empty glass so we could serve her a drink while waiting for the order.

I find the staff there improved significantly from the security to the assistance. So well fine. Awal given me great service . They are always accommodating customer requests. And to be honest the security are more like hosts. Which at Brixton THAT MAKES A GREAT CHANGE. I know they are agency but still a good word perhaps to retain them.

I have been to Nando’s Brixton many times, but this time, Vera made our visit special with exceptional customer service. I want to thank her for her service and friendliness.

So my visit at the Nando’s in Brixton was amazing. But in particular it was one member of staff that made it 10 times better. Janos made my Nando’s experience a delight. From great customer service to excellent catering he did an amazing job. I’m a Nando’s card member and I believe that he should get a pay rise for the amazing persona he brings to the restaurant.

Super-friendly and kind staff! Food delicious as always, and we didn’t have to wait long for it. Brixton isn’t my nearest Nando’s, but it is my favourite! :)

I was at Nando's Brixton while waiting for my girls. I ordered Halloumi Sticks, Quinoa salad, spicy mixed olives & diet coke. I'm happy that they've vegetarian options and taste amazing. The guy who served my table is called Ese; he's very friendly and polite., with amazing customer service. Thank you.

If you're ever going to Brixton Nando's please look for Janos. He is hands down the best till worker there! Very welcoming, very helpful with the menu, makes you feel at home. Myself and my lady were very pleased with the customer service. Best Nandos experience we've had ever thanks to Janos!

ok, I decided to take my daughter, Godchildren and their mother for a meal as we had an afternoon out in the west end.

I needed a table of 9, we waited 30 mins for the table however we were able to entertain the children during this time.

5 year old birthday party. A manager came over and demanded that we stopped what we were doing and took control of a 2 year old who screamed. As other people were eating. Standing over me telling me that I must make him stop the noise to not realise that I wasn't even his mother. To make it worst he did not even realise that the child was autistic.

This store opposite the O2 Academy in Brixton is most famous for its destruction during the Brixton riots when thugs, chavs and scum of the earth marauded and attacked this bastion of civilisation. As such it has been recently refurbished and its decoration is great and it has a lovely patio area out the front.

Exit right at Brixton tube station and head to the O2 academy which this branch is opposite. They have security there which is funny if they're trying to stop people running off with sauce bottles or plates.

Happened to stumble across this Nando's as my bus stopped right outside it, so had to pop in for dinner. Had extra-hot butterfly breast with rice and peas, which was great but not enough - next time I'll have to remember that the rice is only small! The service was good, staff were really friendly and cleaned a table right away so me and my friends could sit down.

This visit to Nando's turned out to be the first of four in a jam packed evening of peri-peri and chicken! And with this being my 250th different branch, what nicer place to visit than Brixton?

I arrived here at about 6pm after finding the restaurant easily, with just a few minutes walk from the tube station. This Nando's is next door to a Fitness First and opposite Brixton O2 Academy. Also just down from the tube stop is the Ritzy Cinema and Electric Avenue.

A great Nando's, perfect atmosphere, felt like a place people come to socialise rather than just a meeting place, lots of character. Good Nando's food that we all expect and love.

Pre gig dinner with James, long wait to be even asked for our name for table list, James had to ask after 15minutes, but then manager swiftly got us a table, once ordered waited at least 15mins until again asked manager who very swiftly dealt with the food himself, which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Definitely got my spicy taste buds going with my hot double wrap and hummus to start, satisfied to say the least.

This Nandos branch is opposite the O2 Academy in Brixton so there's no excuse not to eat there before going to Brixton academy!

Looks amazing in there now! The best Nandos in the country. No doubt in my mind.

Nice to see the new decoration after the riot damage back in August. Still, despite being new and clean, the decoration is pretty average compared to other recently opened branches, and I wouldn't say Nando's went all-out on this one. There was no eye-catching artwork and nothing unique about the tables and their setup (perhaps Nando's don't want to invest too heavily incase more riots happen in the area!).

I always get the best service here - greeted at the door with a friendly smile and a 'how are you?'

Spacious restaurant. The chicken is always cooked to perfection here, never overcooked. Love sitting outside the front in the sunshine, love sitting in the window in the winter.

The only bad thing is that I have to avoid it when there's a gig on at Brixton Academy as the queues are massive.

Not bad at all. It's right across the road from the Brixton Academy (cynically now called the O2), so dinner before the gig is usual making it very busy at times. This can be annoying if you're not going to the gig. Otherwise enjoyable.
