"Brilliant experience with the food just being superb. Service was faster than I anticipated with Elias bringing the food to the table and making sure we are all okay. Very helpful member of staff (Elias) who checked in on us and made sure if we needed anything, he would be present. I will be returning."

"Really nice in here, was a last minute decision, and on a Sunday so we wasn't sure if was going to get a table for 4. Actually got a table really quick and once we ordered our food it arrived pretty quickly too. We just have an issue about no mayonnaise, my girls love it and couldn't find any. I tried the chicken liver dish, and really enjoyed it. Would definitely get it again."

"Went there st 1pm today with my partner. The staff on the floor were friendly which wasn't the same experience I had previously. But today we had lovely service. Food came out within 10 minutes. Restaurant was lovely and clean and very nicely ventilated. Staff were attentive and positive attitude. Makes all the difference. The new decor was inviting and spacious. Glad they got rid of the centred booths. We look forward to our next visit."

"Probably the best Nando’s that I’ve been to in Leicester! Had never been here previously but we will be returning. The restaurant itself wasn’t busy at all and was extremely quick, staff were really nice and friendly and the toilets were super clean."

"A well presented example of Nandos in the centre of Leicester. Good atmosphere and great, attentive staff. Food was of a high quality and quantity. It was a pity they didn't have the special chocolate pudding nor any espresso! Parking was free for 4 hours if you logged your car on the screen near the entrance."

"Came to Nando’s for some lunch at around 3:30pm with my family, the food was sooooo tasty. We got the family platter and everything was perfect. We tried the lemon and herb and wild herb flavours and they were both extremely flavoursome. Want to give a massive shout out to Denise and Jasmine, they were so friendly and made the experience even better. Wasn’t too busy at all, the atmosphere was great. Thank you everyone working here, we appreciate you!"
