Dreadful experience today. I'm not prompted to leave reviews unless I've had an excellent or a terrible experience. We come here regularly enough and it's usually meh, hence the first time review. Placed our order as normal today at 12:47pm, nothing special, chicken thighs, Great imitator wrap, chips, rice. We were waiting over 20 mins and people who came in after us were already munching away on their food. Asked the server and said he'd check and see what he could do.

I was mostly awake for this Nando's, but still a bit early for me to get into the chicken at four months! The staff were friendly and Mummy and Daddy had a cracking munch-up! Lots of parent and baby parking spaces right outside the Mahon Point entrance, you love to see it.

Cork Mahon Point Nando's was beautifully decorated for Easter and was the perfect place for an Easter Sunday lunch before heading to Cork airport to fly home. Even Barci made a festive appearance!

There is free parking outside the shopping centre which contains a huge Tesco and a cinema so many birds can be killed with the proverbial stone here.

Food is lovely, but I wish the prep staff wore gloves when handling the food!

This store is part of the Mahon point shopping centre which has a 24 hour Tescos at one end as an anchor store amongst many clothing and modern life stores including a Omniplex cinema. The store is on the ground floor next to the centre's toilets. Fortunately the store has it’s own toilets inside.

There are some seats out the front of the large glass windows but I have never been a fan of sitting in a shopping centre.

Best visit yet, speed of service was very good, but the constant ''upselling'' by staff got annoying, even as we were half way through our meals we were asked if we would like extra chips. That becomes annoys.

Expensive compared to a few visits I made to Westfields in London..Paid about £11 for a double burger, chips and bottomless.. €18.50 for the same in Ireland..Quite higher than exchange rates.
