The beautiful young lady with the black and blonde hair was very friendly kind and considerate towards my young children. Good sense of humour and very responsive. I think her name was aisha or alishbah but she was very good and someone who values her role.

I ordered online and after 19 minutes that they do not have even one full chicken and we replaced some of it with wings wings. Ten minutes later they said that they do not have chicken and we will have to wait for another 30 minutes so I cancelled my order so left that place without food after 30 minutes . Which is the worst service I have seen so far in any restaurant.

I ate a burger and I drank water because I was expecting ice cream but I found out the ice cream was only mango and I hate mango ice cream so they gave me mango gelato and it was a milkshake not ice cream and it tasted like the chicken I expected more because I used to love Nando I’m never coming again please change the ice cream flavours and clean the table I hope this message can help improve thx for reading

I ate a half chicken and mash and it was lush. Mainly wanted to shout out the young blonde lady and her supervisor who I believe was called Mike? (Didn’t read his name tag properly) for their exceptional service and give apologies of how they had to deal with my uncle’s unfair treatment. Your service was more than great and I’d recommend this Nandos to as many people I know near the area to go and eat!

Waited for 45 minutes for my full chicken mango and lime. Not happy.

When I did take it away to eat at home found that it was a plain chicken with no marinate.

Will not go to this Nandos again will use the queensmare branch instead.

Stay well away.

We had 1/4 chicken with peri chips and sweet potato mash and 1/2 chicken

Disappointed with lack of acknowledgement from staff when entering the restaurant- they saw us but decided to let us stand for about 5 minutes, not bothering to seat us (even when the restaurant was quiet) or offer a menu at least!
Lady/girl at till just seemed so disinterested in taking the order - no smile at all!

When food arrived, the chicken was so dry! Needed A LOT of sauce.

. Peri peri chicken
. Peri peri chips
.Mushroom wrap (it’s horrible)
. Salad
I m vegetarian and I usually eat the beanie wrap which is very tasty. There have discontinued at this branch in Slough high street.
I went to collect the food and as I picked the bag and all the food fell down on the floor near the cashier.
No one bothered to help me at the restaurant
I asked for help as the food was on the floor.

After a 40 minute drive through Slough traffic, finding a parking space right outside Nandos was just what we needed at 6.30pm on a Saturday! I have been to this Nandos many a time, we prefer this Nandos as its slightly bigger than the one near us and as we have a 10 month old baby , we find the space is much more comfortable for us and very accommodating.

We got there just after 9pm for a late evening dinner after a gym session. it's not lit up like other branches so we nearly walked right past it. We entered and there was a guy there to meet us straight away which was good, but then he tried to give us table 3 which was squished between a couple and their baby and a mother and son on the other side. We opted for table 7 instead which we later regretted because it is in direct path of the open door which at that time of night was not great.

The main thing about this Nandos that made it stand out was the staff.
The guys there were funny, polite attentive and compared to other nandos where staff just take your order with a blank face this made a really refreshing change.
I have been here 3 times now and all 3 times the staff have been brilliant. They have engaged in banter and just been very nice to talk to.

This is my 100th UK Nando's store that I've been to and it didn't disappoint. The store is on the high street on the corner of The Grove where we were able to get free on street parking after 5pm. The store is under a modern building but is very well kept and painted on the outside and has a covering over the pavement around the perimeter.

There are three branches within walking distance of me. This is my favourite of the three. The atmosphere is the best of any Nando's I've been to anywhere.

Outrageously... having never been to Slough before, I find myself here twice in a fortnight?? This time, just a detour because the M40 was closed - so a good excuse for some chicken!

Slough's high street Nando's was the 19th Nando's to open in the UK, and notable for being the chain's first venture outside of the capital.

Not far from the free parking on the main shopping centre, the restaurant is situated beneath a typically slough-esque concrete office structure.

The place was pretty barren for a Saturday lunchtime, but that was good, as the service was lightning fast, and the food was exceptionally hot and spicy.

Looked SEXAY inside, the tribal theme and rail way beams dotted around really make the place stand out. THERE IS A CINEMA NEARBY! Perfect Place! The train station is just down the high street too.

Really pleased with my local Nandos. Staff are always pleasant and food is always of a really great standard, although there has been the odd occasion it has taken a while.
