Nando's - Ipinda

Got there an hour before closing so was glad we still were able to get seated. the wings were very good, had double the meat than in the u.s. which is appreciated. the fries were very well seasoned and the perinaise just went well with everything.

Nando's have many branches around Manchester city centre, their Manchester Arndale location, as you would expect from a location inside a busy shopping centre, is probably their busiest. For a mall location, they've still made this store look pretty good, with the usual Nando's vibes and decor, there is also a good amount of seating, but at peak times (weekends, dinner time), you might have to wait a little while to be seated. The staff here are great, including one of the manager's, Wayne, who has even remembered my Nando's card number and order, and always delivers fantastic and friendly service! My food is generally quite good from here and up to the usual Nando's mistakes, a few minor mistakes here and there, but this is mainly when they are busy which is understandable. 4* A pretty good Nando's location, while I do prefer their location at Manchester Spinningfields, this certainly isn't a bad alternative.

Nando 's at the Manchester Arndale was previously one of the busiest and worse locations Nando 's have in the city, but it is getting back on track in my opinion. On a regular day, you should be prepared to wait longer than Nando 's other locations here if you 're visiting at the weekend or a peak time and you might want to visit another Nando 's location but that still doesn 't mean it 's bad at all. They had no problem letting me have two breast pieces for the 1/2 chickens I 've ordered which some stores normally dislike doing as it causes an imbalance between breast and leg pieces. The chicken is pretty good quality. The staff are pretty friendly too and two of the managers, especially Wayne and Anoushka are some of the best employees I 've ever met who work at a chain restaurant. TIP: Keep an eye out for promotions as this often signs up when Manchester Arndale does specific offers and promotions including the student days in Spring and Autumn, which can make it cheaper than other branches around the city! 3*

They atmosphere is pleasant, the staff attentive and the food hot! I had the sweet potato and butternut squash pita and chips. I found the flavor a bit bland but well done. They have many different sauces to compensate. Overall...Good Dining experience. Picture does no justice...

Nice butterfly chicken! The chips and the coleslaw were also tasty :
