As a night shift RN, I had ordered delivery but the driver didn’t deliver it (long story). I was about to work 13 hours without food, because we have no canteen at night. I called Yolanda at Earl’s Court panicked. She went above and beyond and got it re-delivered. Humanity is still alive! Thanks Yolanda for getting this RN fed. I realize the struggle you had. Angel!!!

2nd time this week that items were left out of bag for take away order. One only discovers this when you get home and it's very frustrating!

In 1992, this was one of the first two Nando's to open in the UK (the other was in Ealing). Twenty three years later, it remains a stalwart of the Earls Court Road, unflinching in the face of more recent openings in the area (Byron, GBK, Wagamama, Zizzi etc) whilst continuing to stare down an ageing KFC on the other side of the road.

It was my second time at Nando's, but the very first for my friends. I had to make them try it. We were there in the evening on a weekday, but it was very busy. We had to wait for a table, but the staff was nice and after ordering, the food was served pretty quickly. It was delicious and my friends also love it.
Again a very nice experience. :)

Went onto my second Nando's of the night and this took me to Earl's Court, which was easily found as it's just a hop and a skip from the tube station. There is a Tesco Superstore just a few minutes walk away too, which does offer two hours free parking for customers. Not sure what the minimum spend is though.

this has to be one of the smallest Nando's right? I mean there's hardly any seats and wherever they put you, you're still kind of at the front door.

Very easy Nando's to find - just make sure you come out of the main exit at Earl's Court station (and turn left), it's a stone's throw away. My first impression of the branch was that I couldn't believe how small it was! There's two distinct seating areas, one at the front and one at the back with a narrow walkway connecting them - the drinks/sauce station are well placed in this gap. However, when a queue forms at the counter, space constraints make it a bit awkward!

My first visit to the 2nd ever UK Nando's was rather pleasant on a tranquil Friday afternoon. As I walked in, I had the impression there had not been a refurb in a while (or ever) but that was not necessarily a problem as whoever did the original job did a good one in my opinion. Tables line the restaurant on either side with the counter straight ahead on the right and drinks station on the left.

This is one of the older stores in the Nandos chain and its feeling the strain. Its very close to Earls court tube station and Earls court exhibition centre itself is not too far. From the outside it is quite a small store very much decorated in black but it makes the best of the large windows in the seating area around this corner store. The inside did have some good artwork and makes use of bottle decoration a lot.

Well, how should I start, it was in July this summer when I traveled to London with EF and I was lucky getting Marc Joss as a teacher. The first thing he proudly told me on the very first day of my stay, was that he and his friend had founded this website. Of course I had no idea what Nando's was (unfortunately we dont have it in Austria yet.) but I got interested.

This branch totally surprised me, I had no idea what to expect from it, but boy was I surprised and amazed! It’s pretty easy to find if you manage to find your way out of Earls Court Station…. It’s crazy, but if you find the Earls Court Road exit and turn left you should see it. It’s right on the corner of a block of buildings, it’s a tiny branch! Luckily it was pretty empty when we arrived.

I was in the UK as visitor and the first think I wanted to go was Nando's. I thinnk I have Nandomania! If there is Nando's in any of the cities or countries I visit I have to go! So, my hotel was in chelsea and when I got out of Earl's court station just heading to my hotel I saw it! I could not believe my luck so I just dropped in. the food was excellent grilled and juicy.

You need to be a permit holder to park in the vicinity otherwise parking is available for a reasonable amount.
The branch itself is quite small and tight for space.
