Waiting for our food 1 hour when the restaurant is almost empty.
When asked the staff how long for our food they didn’t even turn up to answer.
My husband come back to the till and the the lady said that my husband said 16 instead or 21 when I was next to him and both of us said 21.
If the staff can see empty table waiting for long could politely ask if everything is okey. Is a joke!

Please please make bluwater Nando's halal. There is s no halal Nando's in Kent or south east London. And there is large halal eating population. I know you said you can't change it but please pass it on to someone who can change it. Thanks.

I have always loved Nandos especially as I come from South Africa where Nandos was born.
I have to say though recently I have been very disappointed with my favourite meal. The problem is that there is absolutely no sauce in the bowl. The livers where slightly overcooked which was made ever more evident due to no sauce. Where has all the sauce gone? And what do you now expect me to do with the very dry Portuguese roll?
