Canary Wharf - Jubilee Place

We came for a family lunch and Natalie the Manager was on the rolls she was absolutely wonderful and so friendly! She made us laugh and gave great service!! We will definitely be coming again!

The Nando’s Quest finally brought me to the first Nando’s that I ever ate at. Back in 2007, the restaurant was less than two years old and the chicken was pretty cheap. Almost a decade later, Nando’s #107 hasn’t changed that much aesthetically, but the price point is much higher. For several years, I lived a short walk from Canary Wharf, so Jubilee Place Nando’s was my local. I sometimes even ate here twice a day. Since moving away, I’ve been back a fair few times.

They say you always remember your first Nando’s. Canary Wharf was my first Nando’s, and one that I ended up frequenting around ten years ago. As a pre-cinema treat, we went there for a late Sunday lunch. This was my first time at this Nando’s in maybe five years, and not much had changed, other than the Jubilee Place mall which houses the restaurant now having a whole new floor of shops.

First visit back on re-opening day!

Having walked to a second nando's we were starving and had to wait ages to get a table, i was able to use my orange reward which meant i could have a free half chicken and a side of chips. That hit the spot and it was so filling but i was annoyed as it took a while to come and I had to rush back to work!

Shockingly I had never made it to this reasonably local London Nando's until the weekend after my birthday on a Nandventure with Saskia. The staff were brilliant although there was one unexpected display of loyalty to Wagamamas which will be discussed later.

I took my american friend to Nando's and he wanted to know what all the fuss was about. I had hyped up Nando's so much i did not want it to be a disappointment. He was rather confused upon ordering and how it worked but we got around that and i had my usual medium butterfly chicken! My friend had a half chicken and said it was the best meal he had had in the UK! I was very happy he had enjoyed it!

The Nando's service was very prompt and the food was up to its usual high standards!

This store is in the thoroughfare of a underground shopping centre in Canary wharf and as such I wouldn't say that parking is a affordable possibility. The store is Bleak and bland and is literally chairs and tables in the walkway surrounded by a low level barrier and you are looked down upon from the neighbouring Waggamamas store. There is a small amount of the store that isn't in the walk way and this section is dark and depressive.

Busy weekday lunch, had to wait for a table. Food was turned around surprisingly quickly given how busy the place was (table staff were certainly rushed off their feet). Perhaps lacked a bit of the usual Nando's flavour.

I had my standard Nandos fare for when I'm testing out a new restaurant; half chicken with rice and coleslaw plus a side of halloumi. Food took quite some time to arrive, but we literally took the last table in the place, it was rammed! First the halloumi, it was cooked to perfection and for that they have my respect. Getting it from the grill to the table in time is an art!

This is a nice Nando's that opens up into the shopping area. Can seem busier than it actually is due to that and is not somewhere to go if you want an intimate meal..
