Comments - Stand out in our monthly competition! What did you eat? Unique aspects? Parking/transport tips?: 

Our second Nandos in as many days and this one wasn't quite as good as yesterday. The restaurant is conveniently located right in the heart of the city centre, and luckily had a few outside tables which meant we didn't have to leave the dog in the car. A few drops of rain made it less than ideal though, but that wasn't Nandos' fault!

The restaurant was full inside, and the service was quite slow as a result. We were sat for some time before the food came out, and it was fairly average overall. My fino pitta had dry thighs, and the halloumi was stuffed at the end which meant I ended up eating it separately. My rice portion was also strangely small, though as tasty as I'd expect.

Staff score a 3 not 4 because the Nandoca I asked for more peri spice never csme back with it.
