Stopped into this new Nando's late afternoon. It's located on the new Ely Leisure village just off the A10 - about 1.5 miles walk from Ely train station. Nando's is next door to Cineworld and there are other eateries on the leisure park. There is currently free parking without any restrictions (although understand this is subject to change).

New store therefore the only thing about this place was it looked new. The rest was appalling.

Ordered a takeaway livers. Staff were standing around like they on drugs before they would even take the ordered. When I got home (a 45 minute drive) I found a roll and a bag of sliced pittas.
