Excellent service for all members of staff, however I find that I receive especially outstanding service from Finn. Everytime I enter the restaurant he is there to greet me with a smile on his face, no ask is too big, he is the definition of perfect customer service. I think the world could do with a few more Finns.

I had to get up and go to the tills to ask after l’y order. Waited 25 minutes only to be told they didn’t get the order. I showed them my confirmation email that the order was placed and got told it “ got stuck in the system ”. There were 4 customers in the restaurant. Not impressed!

Was up in Edinburgh on a stag weekend and, having spent the entire train journey from London drinking, figured Nando’s would a good pre-dinner to start the weekend (it proved to be a smart tactic too). Looked at Google Maps and opted for the Omni Centre as it was just a few minutes walk from Waverley (as was Chambers Street, but that was nearer our hostel so would’ve been easier to visit during the weekend if time had prevailed).

Onto my third and final Nando's of the day and this tool me to the Omni Centre. This is in the city centre and is less than half a mile walk from Waverley train station. This means it's also within a mile walk of the Castle, National Museum of Scotland, Palace of Holyroodhouse, The Playhouse, The Old Town etc. Also in the Omni Centre are other eateries (including a 'Spoons), a Virgin Active and a Vue Cinema.

A visit to Edinburgh brought a chance to sample another new outlet, and with plenty to choose from, Edinburgh - Omni centre was the lucky store!

After a battle against the elements to get to this Nando's for an early dinner before my flight back to London, I was warmly welcomed into a modern, booth-filled Nando's with impressive lighting and a happy feel to it. My girlfriend and I managed to squeeze our suitcases under our table before going up to order.

This store shares the Onmi centre on Leith road in a modern part of Edinburgh with a Vue cinema, Frankie and bennies, a Virgin active gym and other food outlets. It is close to the Playhouse and also shopping in the large John Lewis over the road.
