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

Having tried to get a table for 2 on the Friday evening and being faced with a 25 minute wait, we opted to return on Saturday lunchtime which was a good decision as the wait for a table was just over 5 minutes.

This branch is located in the heart of Newcastle town centre and is within walking distance of St James' Park so for a pre/post-match meal, look no further!

After having explained to manager Lensi about the website, I was rewarded with a 20% discount which went down well! Alex, who took my order, was rather enthused about the website and confidently claimed that Durham Nando's is the best which is backed up by its high rating! The food was of a good standard although I would have liked more peri chips. It should be said that 'extra hot' did actually appear to be spicy unlike most other recent visits!

All in all, a good Nando's which has increased my desire to visit Durham!
