This Nandos is great, staff are always kind and friendly. Chips have always been fully and completely seasoned evenly. I have never been leant over either, however, if I was, then that would be fine because its literally a Nandos and why would I care? I think some people should receive some customer etiquette training, its not like you’re paying to dine at the Savoy.

If you love chicken, this place is awesome!! They have a variety of sauces with different levels of spiciness to suit every one. Food is amazing. Deco is chic and fun and toilets were clean. Bottomless soft drinks and frozen yogurt.

Great food as always and staff really pleasant but what got this place 5 stars was the way they are dealing with the latest covid restrictions. They have a 'virtual queue' where you scan into the q and they let you know when your table is ready. Meanwhile ypu can shop or whatever. Once in its full table service.

Staff was very nice and helpful. The food was also so amazing. It was my first time eating at this restaurant but I really enjoyed it and I would like to come back again and try the other menus.

It's Nando's so if you're familiar with their restaurants, you know what to expect. Their chicken is definitely tasty, so are their sides. Some gravy with the mash would be good. Prices are fair, especially for set meals.

Food is good although when searching halal food in St Andrews Nando’s comes up but when I asks the person on front desk she confirmed that is was not halal at this restaurant.

Best nandos I have ever had, staff are really friendly helpful and attentive, always going out of their way to make our experience special. We could go to any Nandos but choose St Andrews as our number 1 place every time!

Authentic portuguese/African food! The chicken was delicious and very juicy. All the sauces are amazing. Definitely a different experience, the place is very well decorated, has an amazing atmosphere and great service.
