First of all, the managers are poor. Small girl names Ellen was quite rude to other staff and also ignored me and my partner, twice! Other than the decor it was a shocking experience. This manager clearly has other things on her mind

I love everything about Nando’s in junction one, except the fact that when sitting in it is always freezing and you are eating your food while u are feeling cold.

Food was extremely underwhelming for the price, burger was tiny and bun looked like a McDonald’s McMuffin. Wouldn’t return to Nando’s

The manager stands out as being exceptionally customer focused, always on hand to alleviate any issues or qualm any hunger pangs from delayed orders.

I would like to commend Ella Beth for her brilliant customer service. She could have not been any better this evening-it was my Mums birthday and she bent over backwards to accommodate us! Thank you Ella Beth-I hope all Nando’s have one of her! Thank you

Staying in Belfast, so had the short drive to Antrim to visit his Nando's. It's on the Junction retail park (signposted as Outlet Centre if driving) and offers free parking (couldn't see any signs suggesting a limit) and has hundreds of spaces. Nando's is by the Omniplex cinema. The nearest train station is Antrim, which is about 1.5 miles away.

Good parking and well placed for convenience although busy road during peak periods, allow for time to exit park. Very friendly and helpful greeting staff, till staff seemed interested in pushing some reward scheme rather than organising order despite being told no. As restaurant wasn't overly busy the wait for food seemed quite long. This wait was apologised for though no reason given. The chicken burger was cold when it arrived and the meal was returned.
