At Nando's, the menu boasts an array of tantalizing options that cater to every palate.

It is wonderful experience, I am happy they have various selection for vegetarian food. I was order avo & halloumi bowl, I like the strips it is very delicious.

A decent quality Nando's with good food. Very busy, so be prepared for long lines and a wait. Missing a variety of drinks like appletizer.

They are very fast and efficient. I wish they queues were not as long but its becuase their food is amazing. They also one of the only restaurants in the food court that have a private dining area , its a bit small but its a nice alternative to an otherwise packed food court

Great food in general however, my portion size this time was quite small and disappointing. Service and staff were great but when you're in a mall, it's a given that some customers will mess and not clean up after themselves.

The food was delicous!! The chicken was flame grilled perfectly as the chicken was still moist and not dry. The staff were very friendly and helpful! Will definitely come back !!

If you have a big family then this is the perfect place for a quick, affordable meal (R50 per person). You can never go wrong with chicken every kid will finish their food Just be cautious of the seagulls after the waiter brought our order the gulls tried to swoop in & grab chips off our plate (Jersey seagulls do the same thing )
