Stanmore underground station is a 5 minute walk away. (End of Jubilee line.)
Parking: 
Park in the Lidl car park just behind the main row of shops! It is free after 5.30pm, and cheap during the day. If you are lucky you might get some free parking right outside the restaurant itself, though these spaces are high demand.

Awful!!!
Have been before and excellent.
This time - really rude staff- manager did not listen to us. The waitress said “ do ya wann it the then?” When I complained the broccoli was raw and had to ask where it was when I sent it back and didn’t come back.
Food was not usual standard but the argumentative staff and ‘ manager’ made it even worse! What a shame as previously - lovely staff

Had fino chicken thighs with 2 sides. Was cooked to perfection. Manager was very helpful and polite. Staff were very friendly. Went beyond to help us. Will definitely visit again as was very spacious, very good lighting and a nice atmosphere. We'll done to Ali and his staff. See you next Saturday.

Hi Nando's, I'm Matteo, a guy from Italy that is in London for work experience. Italy are not in the World Cup, so I have all the time in the world to do what I want to do, and a few days ago I went to Nando's. It was my first time at Nando's so I was really excited for a "Nando's experience". I bought a fino pitta, but I took it home as a take-away. When I was back home I ate it. I loved it, it was really juicy and yummy, it was a very nice experience for me. Thank you very much, Nando's!

A big thank you to Marc and James of Rate Your Nando's for another lovely Reviewer Dinner, with good food and great friends all enveloped in Nando's love. What more could you need at this time of year?

I had a fantastic lunch at Stanmore Nando's which my mother and I decided to visit over the slightly closer but much more cramped Edgware branch. This Nando's is spacious and funky, with lots of varied seating and lighting throughout.

We were seated straight away but put on a table for 2 the size of a postage stamp near the window where they seemed to have crammed the majority of the patrons even though the more spacious area to the rear of the restaurant was almost empty.

Didn't know this branch was open until the day before so had to visit it after we'd done reconnaissance for it the month before. Just a half hour drive from Chiswick give or take though we did pick up some traffic via Kingsbury. Parking was an issue as there are limited spaces outside the shopping parade but two huge range rovers made a spot obsolete buy after the second time around we got a spot on the right hand side of the one way system.

A brand new Nando's in the Rate Your Nando's Team's home territory of North London is always exciting, so I made it a priority to get here ASAP after opening! Unfortunately Marc couldn't join me, but I know he will be stopping in soon.

Can only echo what James said in the first review - always good to see another Nando's in North West London. I also popped into this branch on Monday evening but didn't see him! (Although that's probably because I ordered mine as a takeaway online)
