Nando's Bedford — Restaurant in England

I would like to give my honest review based on these foods. I will put them in line;

Rice - Rice is actually good, taste good. It is more like the Nigerian jollof rice. I mean, though Nigerian jollof rice the one that my sister and mom make is superb but in general varies who make them. Not sure about Ghana jollof rice or any rice in particular. The size of the rice is small for its cost and to call it "regular food".

Garlic Bread - wow the garlic breads are good. Was not expecting to taste better than the Dominos version. Also good ingredients and sesamo plants, good good.

Chips - The chips are actually good, better than the Dominos chips if you asked me.

Chicken Grill - Wow the chicken is very delicious to the point tasting the deliciousness of the juicy bones is very exquisitely nice. The softness of the chicken with the black stripes made it much better. I really enjoyed but quite expensive though. They were not wrong when they said the chicken was delicious.

Chicken Wings - chicken wings are very delicious. Once again better than the one of Dominos and actually need to order more of these.

The Peach & Lemon Juice - I tried both, just normal, not too sugary. Actually it is like drinking hot tea but cold. They taste a bit like Italian Estathè, search it up what I mean.

I think I will have to eat for the 2nd time with my Bulgarian friend, even though he slightly a bit racist for disliking African foods without even trying. Let's see if I can persuade him to go to Nandos. He thought Nandos was a Mexican food until I mentioned South African he showed face expression in disgust.

I am pretty full and this is my 1st time ordering Nandos, I wasn't able to finish all when I initially complained that they look small each of them boxes lol. But the 2nd time am going there with my pal. The cost are quite reasonable but not for delivery. I just wanna give 4 stars because one drink was missing and the costs are quite much. I spent about £70 for myself and my sisters which they could not finish, I finished some theirs.

My sisters said they enjoyed the food and tasted the rice and chicken, they're happy, I think it is now their 5th time eating Nandos. One day in the future I may visit South Africa.

Well done...

Shocking!!! Placed order, was told "40 minutes to collect". Arrived to be told the food would be at least "10 to 15 mins extra", was fobbed of with 'help yourself to a drink" - A coke that costs them about 5p.

I waited, I asked a member of staff to talk to a manager was just ignored. I asked another member of staff to get the manager becasue I was starting to loose my patience waiting. He walked into the kitchen come out and walked stright past me. I then asked him again, the manager come over and said "well we're busy you have 2 options a refund or wait"!!

I said "I've not waited this long for nothing", his relpy, "we're waiting for your corn on the cob". 10 minutes after, he picks up the corn from grill without even looking at it he holds it up in the air and shouts at me "is this to burnt for you". (Of cause it is, becasue you've left it on there to burn). I asked him to put it in the bag as I wanted to leave.

Customer service is shocking and that's putting it lightly. The floor was dirty with bits of food everywhere and the general I dont give two S*'s attitude is ridiculous. I should have just walked out!!

I got home, the chicken was dry, burnt corn and cold chips (I put chicken in the bin). A compleate waste of time, money and effort. When you employ managers that dont give a s*, in the long run your business will start to fail.

I will not be going back to Nandos in bedford, I'd rather drive to Milton Keynes. On reflection, it would have been quicker to drive to Milton Keynes and have a sit down dinner there.

Not...

A bit of a mixed bag to be honest. We were seated promptly. Went to the counter as I politely started to order, I was suddenly interrupted with a lady that very unceremoniously barked "What is your table number".

Once we had that out the way, she snapped "We don't have that." When I asked for a salad...yes Nando's was out of salad (and two stars down).

After going back to my table to see what my wife would like as a replacement I went back to the counter and the obnoxious little lady had been replaced by a more polite gentleman who told me they had no broccoli either. Unamused I went back to see what my wife would like as a substitute again and...finally our order was complete.

The food was good but the music was loud and terrible. Nando's, music in a restaurant should be subtle and soft. It is after all a restaurant and not a bar or club. I also get that the owner is from South Africa but does that have to mean that the entire world must be subjected to blaring South African music when eating at Nando's? The music and decor would be fitting if Nando's served South African cuisine and not Portuguese cuisine. I mean Kentucky Fried Chicken don't play country music in their restaurants.

The highlight of my meal was the honesty of the staff who handed me a parcel I forgot when leaving for which I thank...
