I've given the friendless of staff a 4 based on my first interactions (the greeter and the person taking the order) who were great at entertaining my little one and had great knowledge of allergy containing products we would need to avoid.

Would love to write this review with Nando’s Southwark Arches Staff Lorna In mind. She was absolutely fantastic, friendly, warm and performed a successful delightful service for me and my friend. Would recommend her for a promotion on her fast paced, accurate service and infectious, vibrant personality. Love Aches it’s my go to Nando’s and good food and service as usual and if not perfect staff are always willing to speedily amend with a good attitude.

The staff were very friendly especially Joe and Yaz who were very welcoming and gave me and my friends tips about parking. The environment was also very nice and staff seemed helpful and very happy. Food was great and the wait was not too long. It was my first visit however I think it's the best Nando's experience I've ever had which is why I choose to give my first ever review. Definetly will be back again. Hope to see Joe and Yaz again.

RYN7 was at the always-eye-catching Southwark Arches branch and proved to be quite a mixed bag. Décor was great as usual, place seemed clean enough and there were plenty of sauces available.

A fanfare and applause for Marc and James! What a cracking, calm and comfortable event at Southwark Nando's. When we arrived, we were greeted pleasantly by the Nandocas and shown to our tables. The company was great as usual and the food laid on by the boys was delicious. After a surprising win in the raffle, I was already in fine fettle and when my salad arrived, I was on cloud 9. It was scrumptious!

The original plan was to meet Blayne for lunch in Canary Wharf (near me) but he ended up working late into the break so I had to come up to meet him. Had the choice of either St Paul’s or Southwark and he suggested Southwark, as it’s a bigger branch and less busy. It’s also easier for me to get over, straight on the Jubilee line. The branch is just by the station and it’s one of the railway arch restaurants with lots of different seating, including circular bays to sit in.

The outlet due to its location, receives a considerable amount of trade at lunch times, and just about manages to cope with the large demand. I waited around 20 minutes for a table, 20 minutes in a queue to order, and a further 20 minutes for the food to arrive.

The staff were rushing, therefore there wasn't much chance for them to engage properly with you. Not their fault, just doesn't allow the full experience.

New job means a new local Nando's, which is Southwark Arches. As such, a trip was to be had!

Arrived, and was greeted, being advised of a 10 minute wait for a table. In reality it ended up being almost double this, and eventually we were seated.

My girlfriend has a dairy allergy and specifically asked for no mayo in her veggie burger. The burger came and it was with mayo. She took a bite before realising. We took it back and a staff member calls Yass was so helpful. He bought out a new meal for her (without Mayo) he gave us vouchers for a meal on the house as well as some cute little nandos badges. He even offered me a glass of red wine on the house!

Having walked past this branch a number of times I can testify that this is a busy Nando's. On a tuesday evening in early November the wait for a table under the arches was only 10 minutes long. The food arrived in regular time the only delay being the queue to the tills.

My second visit to the lovely Southwark Nandos and what a treat - we got seated in one of the pods which is nice. You feel like chicken kings raised up above the "normal" diners! Ordering was straightforward and the food came quickly despite being given an ETA of ten minutes. It was lunch time and fairly quiet - but still a good atmosphere. The toilets are quite a trek to get to, and up flights of stairs, but once you get there its like shangri-la ...

Every body's been here so there's not much that i need to write about this branch. Two minutes walk from the train station. No waiting for a table. I cancelled the garlic bread cos i didn't want carbs. In Twelve minutes exactly as predicted the food arrived although the mash looked like someone played around with it. Great food, great service.

I'd been working round the corner for a couple of weeks (pretty much dead middle of Stamford Street and this branch) so headed down for lunch to the Southwark branch takeaway.

When you come out of Southwark Tube station look over the road for the neon Nandos and follow the light down the forecourt (which I am guessing might have tables during summer?) to this store built under the railway arches in a manner similar to Vauxhall Arches and Clink street which are also 2 top stores. Upon entering the double height glass fronted side attachment we were impressed. Lots of artwork and of a good quality span this store.

I had a free half chicken and somehow ended up with 2 legs and no breast and there wasn't enough peri on the chips. Definite 5 for decor though.

A fantastic new(ish) Nando's, stuningly clean, and beautifully designed.
Everything about it was perfect, with the staff spotting my Nando's loyalty and being chatty, and even stretched to an accidental bonus stamp.
From where I was sitting I could see a double rainbow!! see photo! ;)
Lovely seats to the right, although I went for the standard seats handy for refills.. The chicken was beyond perfect and melted cheese, YES!!

The food was excellent!!!
I ordered a chicken burger with chips and a coke. I really liked the unlimited refill system.
The restaurant was beautiful.
Marc recommended Nando's to me so I went with my father when I was in London on holiday.
I would like to return with my father one day.

3 months had passed since the team's last Nando's together and it was time to end the drought and tick off a new central London branch on a pleasant Sunday evening alongside some Italian friends, Sophie and new Nando's fan, Maria.

This time was the best because I was with my best friends and I had the best food. I really love Nando's!

I visited Southwark Arches Nando's during work lunchtime the day after the grand opening.
On the 63 and several other bus routes, and just over the road from Southwark Jubille Line station, it’s in a prime place for business, if possibly a little close to two other Nando’s restaurants.
It was clear the place was new. Not only was the spacious repurposed railway arch well-decorated with fancy furniture and bright-looking art, it also smelt like a hardware store.
