10 Best restaurants for Chicken in London

Nando's Gatwick - South Terminal

This is a kind of oasis within Gatwick airport. Once you get it you get the usual Nando's world: well and warm decorate south african style. You might like the menu and their sauces better or not, yet the environment is really nice and comfortable.

This is a Nando where you scan the QR, pay and the you get the menu served. In the meantimw you gather your fork, knife, napkin and sauces -this is the only reason for the low service score... everything else was totally Ok-.

Chicken wings with mid hot sauce were amazingly good! I did not like any other sauce, but this is a personal opinion about Nando' sauces.

Not overpriced at all.

Recommended!

The breakfast veggie sandwich was delicious, if a little too spicy for me. Orange juice was great with bits. Newt also enjoyed his coffee. It was a kind he’d never tried before :)

Everything was so amazing!! The host “Tadiaw” was lovely and let us know about how much time we have for the breakfast. The Patrao “Darren” was superb!! So kind and helpful!! The nicest man I have seen in Nandos !! The food came so quickly and it was so tasty! 100% Recommend it !!

The food is amazing, absolutely love the Portuguese inspired grilled chicken! The spices are super good, the easy way to order  and how fast the food arrives its really a very good experience.

Roast chicken that can only be found in the UK. It's a memory from my school days. Their sauce is unique. You can buy it to go. I love their roast chicken liver, garlic bread, roast corn, and unlimited soft drinks. It's great! If you have enough time at Gatwick Airport, you can try it. Of course, they also have many stores in various parts of the UK.

Nando's

Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's The O2

Great visit to Nando’s! The service was really good and the restaurant wasn’t too crowded, which made the experience even better.

I tried the vegan option - went for the spicy rice bowl, and it was really tasty. Everything came out quickly, and the prices are still affordable, which is always a plus.

Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.  Highly recommend!

This place gets really busy in the evenings, especially when there’s a show at the O2, but the team keeps things moving—our dishes arrived surprisingly fast! The service is warm and upbeat, the décor is absolutely stunning, and the food delivers that classic Nando’s goodness we all love. A great spot for a pre-show meal!

Not bad but definitely could get the similar forms of peri peri chicken elsewhere for cheaper and better taste. The food is always pretty good and the customisability of the sauces and sides is great. Unfortunately, I just find their prices to not just a bit too high especially given the somewhat conservative portions of chicken. You know what you’re going to get visiting Nando’s so at least it’s always consistent.

Its such a shame that on a quiet day this was not done right.
Customer service was rude and brash at the till, chicken  was on the grill before I was even halfway through my order so I couldnt ask for livers which would have delayed chicken and made it dry.Menu knowledge was poor. No one checked in on us.Had to send food back as it was cooked to what we ordered.Also take away sauces out of date… something that has been an oversight for nearly two weeks .. Just basics. most disappointing nandos I have been too considering there was only around 10 tables , Dont want to imagine what its like when theres a concert on 😭

Big shoutout to Sagar on the Nando’s team, really friendly and made the visit so much more special. Food was great and received the meal within a few minutes of ordering. One of the best Nando’s in London for sure

Nando's Westfield Stratford City

Nando’s at Westfield Stratford is truly outstanding! The management is professional and attentive, and the staff are always polite, respectful, and welcoming. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. The food is beautifully presented, with excellent design and style, and tastes absolutely delicious. Every detail shows great care and quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was so hungry that I completely forgot to take a photo before starting to eat!

This experience was deeply upsetting and extremely disappointing, especially as it was meant to be our first visit to Nando’s. 😡

My friend and I arrived very close to 10:00 PM, which we later understood to be the restaurant’s closing time. Had we been told honestly at the entrance that the tills were about to close or that the restaurant was closing imminently, we would have gladly chosen another day. We wanted a calm, enjoyable first experience and completely respect staff wanting a smooth close.

However, once we were allowed inside, what followed was unacceptable and distressing.

We were immediately told we were the last customers and then rushed aggressively. Before we even had the chance to sit properly, we were told we had only five minutes to place our order because the tills were closing and that we must go to the till ourselves. As first-time customers unfamiliar with the menu or ordering process, this created instant pressure and anxiety. We were not even given two minutes to properly read the menu or understand how ordering works.

At the till, the behaviour of staff members Ibukun and Anna was particularly poor. Our basic questions were ignored, and the attitude we were met with was cold, dismissive, and unprofessional. There was no patience, no explanation, and no willingness to help. We were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than customers who had just been allowed into the restaurant.

Despite feeling uncomfortable, we chose not to argue and proceeded with the order. When the food arrived, it was placed on the table without a single word no indication of where to find cutlery, napkins, sauces, or what to do if we needed anything. The server simply walked away. As first-time customers, this lack of basic guidance was frustrating and embarrassing.

To be absolutely clear: we understand closing-time pressures. What we do not understand and cannot accept is being allowed entry and then treated with such rushed, careless, and indifferent service. If staff are unwilling to serve customers arriving close to closing time, the respectful and professional approach is to politely refuse entry. We would not have minded that at all.

Instead, we were left feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and genuinely upset. This experience was not just disappointing it ruined what should have been an enjoyable first impression of a well-known brand. The level of service we received falls far below what is acceptable for Nando’s.

Management seriously needs to review staff behaviour and how late-evening customers are handled at this location. No customer deserves to be made to feel like a burden simply for walking in.

⭐☆☆☆☆ – Very Disappointing Experience

Visited Nando’s at Westfield Stratford around 9:55 PM after shopping and a movie. Although we were allowed in as the “last customers,” the service was rushed and unwelcoming from the start.

We were told to order at the till without explanation. The staff member at the till was dismissive, avoided eye contact, and ignored questions about portion sizes. No drinks menu was offered, and we weren’t given time to apply a Perkbox discount due to how rushed the interaction was.

When food arrived, it was dropped at the table and the staff walked away immediately. We were not told where to find sauces, cutlery, or tissues, and the sauce station was already being cleaned. There were no spoons available either.

Despite paying full price, we felt rushed, ignored, and treated like an inconvenience, while other customers appeared to receive better service. We left still hungry and very disappointed. This was my first visit to Nando’s, and unfortunately it will also be my last at this location.

I usually love nandos but this place was chaotic, soo crowded, soo many people. The food was ok, chicken was a bit burnt, but the food came quickly after we ordered.

Been living nearby and noticed loads of locals come here, so had to give Nando’s a try. Totally get the hype now — loads of sauce options and you can really customise the flavour.
That said, the chicken breast was a bit on the dry side and kinda stuck in my teeth, which was a shame. Still, it’s a solid, reliable spot for a casual meal, especially if you’re in the area.

Afrikana Ilford

We discovered Afrikana as its on our local takeout list.

The food is always always top notch.

So we decided to celebrate a birthday at Afrikana, we had to book by email as we were a larger party (7 people). We then turned up early to boot. But everyone was welcoming and our table was ready for us immediately.

We ordered the ‘meat again’ as a shared plate, the ‘just kebabin’ with lamb and ‘we goat your back’ which is a family favourite and so delicious. We also ordered the loaded mac n cheese for the pasta freak in the group (who was also the birthday person). And extra plantain because I love plantain, and hummus which was served with the softest most delicious pita. We also had pretty much one of every mocktail, they were all delicious.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was not too loud, so we could hear eachother and talk comfortably, the food was fresh and tasty. We ate till we almost popped. Shout out for the desserts, we had one of each of those too. They were all a taste sensation.

Special thanks to the amazing wait staff, who were friendly and welcoming and couldn’t do enough, even tho we turned up early with a massive party (really sorry about that).

The food was amazing atmosphere was lovely, and all at a very reasonable price. If you’re celebrating or want to eat out somewhere that makes delicious food this is the place for you. Special mention for the Afrikana fries, if you like slightly hot piquant sauce this ones for you

Thanks Semih for the great and personable service. Overall great quality food! My only recommendation is for the chicken to have been cooked better as it was quite hard and not as nice or wholesome as the chicken we had at the stepney Afrikana.

Exceptional service. Our hostess Fatima was very kind, friendly and helpful. She offered choices, recommended sides and other things. We ordered We meat again platters with Afrikaana sauce and few drinks. We were served deep fried crispy okra with mango chutney as appetizer. Food took some time to come. The chicken was moist and very flavorful. So were lamp chops, prawns and meat. The drinks were chilled and yummy. The manager on duty/owner was also very kind. All in all great experience and great Halal spot in Ilford, London. Keep up the good work!!!

The service here is phenomenal (particularly Fatima!) straight onto a table, food within 10 mins. The drinks were nice, sweet (non alcoholic) but not sickly. Be aware - food is spicy, but in a good way. Will come again for the fried chicken.

Afrikana has been on my list for a while and I am glad I have finally been able to visit. I had the Knockout Box which is chicken breast served over jollof rice and topped with spring onions. The Afrikana sauce was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy and I would highly recommend. My sister had the We Goat Your Back which is a slow cooked Mutton curry served with rice with beans and plantain. She said the lamb was extremely tender and also enjoyed her meal. I was a bit skeptical whether Afrikana is another of the social media hype, but this was not the case. The food was delicious and I would definitely return to try their other dishes.

Whilst we're not HMC approved, all our chicken and meat is HMC approved only.

Afrikana

Afrikana Wembley

have visited this branch a few times now, the food and service has always been lovely. our server Taha, was polite and helpful.

the menu is huge, with loads to choose from. my personal favourites are the Afrikana fries and their loaded mac and cheese. the pulled beef tacos were not the one! but I guess it’s good to try everything lol. also love their mocktails.

only downside is that they’re defo on the pricey side. but can’t wait to go back and try more off the menu!

Went around lunch time on Wednesday. Wasn't busy but food somewhat great.
The meat dish and mac was amazing and a must to order. The special chips were weird and felt like boiled potatos and not chips. The jollof rice was nice but had a strong taste of thyme.

Drinks amazing and staff great.

Great ambience! Very polite staff service with a smile. Great tasting food, great value for money. Beats a nandos anyday!! Was my first time here but won't be my last. It was busy, had to ask staff a few times about my 2nd drink I ordered hence 4*. Plenty of seating, recommended highly.

I did my baby shower party on 27/10/2025. The staff were amazing. #Lorraine was very helpful with helping out with the organisation. The party was smooth, cool music, and wonderful team of staffs. My wife was excited with the whole party. The food was great.
We sure had a great time. If you think of that party, just think of Afrikana, they surely deliver
Thanks Lorraine and the whole team of Afrikana for making my baby shower party smooth and fab

I have visited this restaurant for the 3rd time now, and boy oh boy! The reception from the staff members the minute you walk-in is always exciting and welcoming! I had the best time of my life last night with my friends, our waitress was EUNICE and she was amazing! 😃 She was serving us good food, nice drinks and desserts right on time, she was also checking in on us and making sure we still having a good time! We truly appreciate her excellent service including the other waiters/waitresses who came in to check on us as well. AFRIKANA YOU OWE ME NOTHING!! 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

Slim Chickens

First time visiting Slim Chickens and it was absolutely delicious.
The speed at which our food arrived was impeccable. I ordered the honey chicken burger with a bottomless drink and it did not disappoint.

Pro tip: mix Fanta Cherry with Dr Pepper Cherry — trust me.

Sorry I dug into the food before I could actually get a good picture!

Shout-out to Troy for being an amazing server today. Thanks for the great experience!

I’m disappointed it’s taken me so long to eat here. Easily the best Fried Chicken I’ve eaten this decade. The service has been top notch, from being greeted when I entered to how quick my order came, the flavours in the food were delightful, a chicken n chip shop where the food is actually seasoned and flavoursome. Everything about this experience will have me running back sooner rather than later

Found this to be a complete rip-off. Not only the serving size was actually only good for a kids meal (i am a size S petite and the chicken sandwich was smaller than my hand), but the taste is mediocre (nothing to justify £14 for a chicken sandwich) and the service was slow and sloppy (took ages to come, didnt bring sauce, then didnt bring kids drink which comes with the meal and had to be reminded). No wonder it was not busy. Had a kitchen roll instead of napkins. No sauce in the sandwich. Very VERY disappointing

Tasty chicken tenders and wings with a variety of sauces. Liked the Gravy Mayo best. The toast is a nice and unique touch. Really good. Recommend.

I recently visited Slims Chicken at the O2 and had a really good experience. I tried the tender meal and the honey barbecue pickle sandwich, and both were spot on. The chicken tenders were hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside, with great seasoning. The honey barbecue pickle sandwich was a standout — the sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and smoky, and the pickles added a nice tang that worked really well with the crispy chicken. Service was quick considering how busy the O2 gets, and the food felt fresh. Definitely a solid choice if you’re at the O2 and craving good chicken.

We serve chicken from a supplier certified as Halal by HFA.

🐔 NANDOS, anyone? 😋 #twopeasfakeaway

I whipped up a Nandos style iftaar a couple of days ago as we were all craving some juicy peri peri chicken 🤤 Initially, I wanted to use the Nandos marinade but it seems like everyone else had the same idea as me as I couldn’t find it anywhere! So I ended up making my own 😊 The best thing about cooking chicken like is that there are no steps; just whack everything in a blender to make the marinade! 
You will need:
6 chicken legs (including thighs)
1/2 an onion (medium size)
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2tbsp lemon juice
1tsp salt
1tsp peri peri seasoning
2tsp chilli powder (or less if you prefer your chicken mild!)
1/2tsp paprika
1/2tsp ground black pepper
1/4tsp red food colouring
1 whole scotch bonnet pepper

Once you’ve got your sauce, evenly coat the chicken in it and pop into the oven at 180C for around 40 minutes, turning them over half way. Make sure you make a few gashes in your chicken first in order for it to absorb more flavour! 👌🏽

@twopeasfoodies's review of Nando's Whitechapel on Instagram

Nando's Whitechapel

I recently visited Nando’s and ordered the Whole Chicken Family Platter along with a variety of sides: chili mash potatoes, piri-piri chips, regular fries, rice, and a fresh salad. For a starter, we chose halloumi sticks.

The whole chicken was cooked perfectly…juicy, tender, and full of flavor, with that classic Nando’s peri-peri kick. The chili mash potatoes were creamy and well-seasoned, the piri-piri chips had a nice spicy crunch, and the regular fries were golden and crisp. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the salad was fresh and crisp, adding a light balance to the hearty meal.

The only issue was with the halloumi starter, which arrived after our main course was finished. Halloumi is best enjoyed hot and fresh, so getting it at the end slightly disrupted the flow of the meal.

Overall, the food quality was excellent, the portions generous, and the flavors spot on. Just a small note for the staff to serve starters on time…it would make the experience even better.

I visited Nando’s last week and had an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a lovely girl in a red shirt with a bright smile who seated us comfortably. Since we were quite hungry and ordered a bit more, she kindly arranged a bigger table for us. The food was served promptly and with care.

Another staff member, a tall girl in a light green T-shirt, kindly checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect. The service throughout was both professional and friendly.

As always, the food was delicious—I especially love the sweet potatoes and corn on the cob! 🙏

Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience. We had a great time!

I came down to nandos whitechapel for a quick lunch, and overall the food quality was great and food was given to us so quickly! Shoutout to those chefs! However, I think the front of house staff could do a bit better, they were not very friendly and looked sad to be there tbh.. There wasn’t many sauces available and it wasn’t that busy, sauces should deffo be more stocked. And cleanliness was a huge issue for sure! The place wasn’t that clean and one of the forks we picked up had a rice grain stuck in it! Gross! Overall the food at this nandos was amazing but a few things have to be fixed!

The Supervisor(introduced him as assistant manager bengali guy during 15:30 shift on friday 22/8/25 )was too rude and not welcoming.We went there with colleagues to have regular Nandos experience and because of the rude behavior while taking order from us we felt ashamed of coming to this branch again.
Even the rice we ordered was fried and he refuse to give us change(picture attached).
Though we get beautiful welcoming vibe in farrigdon and goodmayes branch.

Good location, good facilities, nice vibe. Food was ok, but the spicy was a bit too starchy for me. I couldn't eat it.

We have 385 restaurants, 72 of which serve only Halal chicken and are signposted both in the restaurant and online. A small proportion of chicken sold in our other restaurants may also be Halal.

Nando's Ilford

We are regular customers at Whitechapel Nandos, we decided to try the Ilford Nandos for the first time. We had to wait over ten minutes to be seated, even though there were no other customers and the staff kept walking past us if we weren't even there. Finally I managed to get attention of one of the staff and had to ask if we can get a table! Once seated everything else went quite well. The staff really need to work on their customer services!

Nando’s is always a great choice! The peri-peri chicken is flavorful and perfectly cooked every time. The menu has a good variety and the sides are just as delicious. I especially recommend the mac and cheese—it’s absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, the restaurant was very clean, and the staff were really great. Definitely recommend for a meal with friends or family.

Honestly, this was the worst Nando’s experience I’ve ever had. I’m a big fan of Nando’s and usually enjoy the food and service, but Ilford Nando’s was extremely disappointing.

From the start, there was no one to greet or welcome us. We stood at the counter but none of the staff made eye contact, so we ended up seating ourselves. After ordering through the app, we could clearly see our food sitting on the counter for over 10 minutes before anyone brought it over. By the time it reached our table, it was warm at best, not hot.

The food itself was tasty as always, but the service completely let it down. Even when we ordered dessert, it took around 20 minutes to arrive, which is far too long.

It’s obvious the staff need proper customer service training. Someone from Nando’s head office should really review the operations at this branch because it’s well below the standard expected. Sadly, we won’t be returning to Ilford Nando’s.

I had a great experience at Ilford Nando’s thanks to Misbah. The customer service was excellent from start to finish — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was absolutely lovely, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Misbah handled everything professionally and made sure we were well looked after, which really made a difference to our visit. I highly recommend him to become manager who would clearly care about both the customers and the quality of service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Decided to stop for lunch with my wife and mother-in-law, and we walked past Nando’s. I was a bit hesitant at first, as I hadn’t been for a while and my last experience wasn’t great. However, as soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the manager, Charlotte, who was incredibly welcoming and showed us to our seats.

After ordering, our food arrived promptly, and Charlotte checked in to make sure everything was perfect and it absolutely was. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was spotless.

We’ll definitely be coming back again, largely thanks to the outstanding service and friendly staff and lovely food.

Nando's Baker Street

Went to Nando’s and had the Chicken Platter plus a soft drink. The food was tasty, and the chicken was cooked well. Sides like corn and broccoli were fresh and nicely grilled. Service was good, and we were lucky not to wait too long for a table. The bill for two of us came to £33, which felt reasonable. Overall, a positive experience. I’d come back again!

Came here the other day to catch up with my colleagues after work. We had to wait for 10-20 minutes since it was super busy. But it was worth it! The food was 10/10! Defo recommend the loaded fries and the festive brownie! Did I mention it’s halal too?

Food is good, but you have to order it online, and they serve it late. The waiters rarly came to our table. Service slow .

This was our second visit to Nandos and we ordered Boneless platter. It was really good and the sauces were excellent. With the complimentary slides with the platter, it was enough for two people. Although we waited for the table, the service was fast.

We were seated in the glass corner near the entrance, which was extremely chilly and felt almost like sitting outside. A heater near the large glass window would have made a big difference.
The wine we ordered was not chilled and actually felt warmer than room temperature. Ironically, because the seating area was so cold, the wine reached the proper temperature within a few minutes.
Since we had to wait to be seated, we were not informed where the plates and cutlery were kept. After our food and drinks arrived, we waited for quite some time expecting cutlery and dishes to be brought to us. Nobody told us that we were supposed to get them ourselves.
We were disappointed with the service we received.

Nando's Barking

Ordered for takeaway yesterday, I think I need to just get the message and stop ordering from Nando’s overall. Do you think it’s acceptable to serve food in this state? As expected the sunset burger was very dry and just loaded with mayonnaise. Barely any chilli jam and a very dry chicken thigh with no sauce. Highly disappointed and won’t be wasting another penny here.

I recently visited Nando’s Barking, and I have to say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Khan was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout my visit. His warm attitude and great customer service made the meal even more enjoyable.
The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. With staff like Khan and such delicious dishes, Nando’s Barking truly stands out. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others!

I went to your place last night to have dinner and I was surprised how good the dish looked but the taste left me wanting, it had a burnt taste, the chicken was not crispy, as I told the one I ordered to be crispy not burnt, the puree was ok and the potatoes and corn. I don't think I'll cross the threshold again, I'll have to think about it.

I was greeted by Abu At the door, He Welcome us with so much Energy and love. And made sure we were okay and had everything on the table. He made us feel really comfortable And the service was 10/10 thank you .  Would definitely recommend

We visited Nando’s in Barking and really enjoyed our experience. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The waiter who served us talked about the food with such enthusiasm that we immediately wanted to try it. And once we did, it was so delicious that we finished everything. We will definitely come back again!

Nando's Beckton

Will I pay £6 for sweet potato wedges and £9 for a wrap again ? No. Those who don’t hear must feel.. and I felt. Because this portion size in this economy should count as a white collar crime on the company’s part. This big packaging to receive half a handful of chips and half a wrap is CRAZY ! Things like this really teach you how to start making your own food for real ! Really put the cheeky in Nandos.

A very lively Nando's! Staff are extremely helpful and friendly,
Food is 10/10 and even though it is busy, each time we have visited we did not have to wait too long for a table, nor food to come to us.
Chicken is always cooked to perfection and the chips are always crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. If you are a sauce addict like us then you will appreciate the vast variety of peri peri condiments that they provide there for you to grab.
Worth the visit!

I normally don't do reviews, but just had to with the excellent customer service I received by a young lady named Inaaya, she made sure we was ok all throughout our meal, she was nice friendly with my 2 children, offered them colouring pens and colouring page and a Nandi sticker. Massive thank you to her, customer service at this standard is very rare. Nando's you have real gem in your hands. Manager Niayaz was also really helpful, he is really nice to his staff and made sure the restaurant was running fine.

Restaurants is nice and clean, very spacious. I liked the round seating as it gives feeling 'everyone is involved'; however, not like round table in King Arthur's time - everyone is equal - as the people at the ends are the ones bringing refills for everyone else. ( pure convenience  as it's hard to move from the middle) The food was tasty and warm ( the only common feature across all Nando's restaurants is that the chickens are getting smaller - the leg part particularly), even though not brought at the same time. The one thing I was missing was more friendliness from the staff. We left before dessert ( even though it was a birthday dinner) as it just didn't feel like a place where we wanted to sing 'Happy birthday' on that night.

Excellent food and excellent service by the team! Always greets with smile, and gave us good seating spots as we had many groceries with us! Environment is very friendly! People from all color and texture ❤️

Nando's Park Royal

I’m honestly so upset with my experience here. The food came out completely burnt — not just a little overdone, but genuinely charred to the point where it ruined the whole meal. For a place that usually prides itself on consistency, this was such a let-down.

I was looking forward to enjoying my food, but it was dry, blackened, and not edible. When you’re paying for a meal out, the bare minimum is that the food isn’t burnt.

Nando’s Acton really needs to step up the quality control because this wasn’t it. I left disappointed and definitely won’t be rushing back.
Very noisy

Food was great and the service by the staff was excellent.

Only negative was they sat a loud group next to us which made the atmosphere and conversation impossible

Special thanks to Maria!

Had such a lovely experience at Nando’s thanks to Maria! She was absolutely amazing — super kind, attentive, and made sure everything was on time and just right. Even though the restaurant was really busy, she stayed calm and professional, and her service didn’t slip for a second. She checked in on us at just the right moments — helpful without being overbearing — which made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. People like Marie really make a difference. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable!

It's not often I have a negative review but when one sticks out like a sore thumb I think it's only fair others know.

Usually I would order via the qr code on table but as I had a gift card, I could only use it at the till.

There were 3 tills in total and only 1 being operated whilst a manager was having a debate with a customer on a 2nd till.
Once this "debate" was done, the manager looked up and could clearly see there were 4 or 5 customers waiting but instead of delegating another team member he decides to walk off and pick up sauces from tables.
Meanwhile, another employee is busy in the kitchen taking pictures of the queue to show his friends how busy it is instead of using initiative to jump on a till.
To the lovely lady at the till who did use her initiative and quickly reduced the queue, thank you.

I then needed to take my 3yr old son to the toilet and upon arrival, the baby changing facility was in use, or so I thought. 10 long minutes of waiting and around 10+ staff members had passed by us until one employee asked me if we were waiting for the toilet. It turns out they had not remembered to open the lock on the door and it was 6.45pm... inside, no toilet roll in sight.

Our food arrives in decent time but my word did Nandos let themselves down. Chicken overcooked and not tasting nice at all but as we had 2 small children with us and knowing how slow everything was, it just was not worth our time to complain. Reluctantly we ate and luckily our son's meal was cooked slightly better.

All in all, not impressed at all by the Park Royal branch and I do not think we would visit here again unfortunately.

Nando's food consistency, as expected. In a large retail park with lot's of other food outlets and large car park. So the surrounding is mainly concrete and cars. Atmosphere tended to have more noises of children, perhaps due to school holidays. Ordering via code on table or counter and as usual once ordered food arrives fast. We were able to chat for about 3 hours without being asked for the table back and car parking is good for 5 hours (at the time of writing).

Nando's Kensington High Street

Nando’s never disappoints. The peri-peri chicken is always perfectly cooked—juicy, full of flavour, and with just the right level of spice (plus the heat options mean there’s something for everyone). The sides are just as good, especially the peri-salted chips and spicy rice, which honestly steal the show.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to eat with friends or family, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. Everything feels fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care.

Overall, Nando’s is one of those places you can rely on for great food, good vibes, and a satisfying meal every time. Definitely one of my go-to restaurants.

By pure coincidence, I found myself at Nando’s in London. The atmosphere was fantastic and lively. Very many thanks to Mr. Teja for the food recommendation. The combination of the Peri-Peri Garlic and Peri Lemon & Herb sauces with the chicken and spice was absolutely phenomenal.

Gluten-intolerant diners, beware!

When I walked into Nando’s Kensington High Street and mentioned I’m gluten-intolerant, the look of panic on the staff’s faces was both funny and ridiculous. They froze, huddled, and then said, “Wait here, our manager will take your order.” The waitress even asked aloud, “Do we have a manager?” — I almost laughed out loud.

After ten minutes, a sleepy-looking girl reluctantly appeared from behind the counter to take my order. I was very clear that I wanted my chicken well done — but she didn’t ask a single question about gluten options, nor did she explain what was safe for me to eat. Sure enough, I was served undercooked chicken. I sent it back, and after another fifteen-minute wait, what arrived was even worse (see photo attached).

To top it off, when I politely asked a waiter if I could leave my laptop on the table while I used the toilet for three minutes, he said, “I’m not responsible.” Really? In a restaurant full of cameras?

Overall, totally poor service — untrained staff, zero awareness about dietary needs, and a manager who seemed half-asleep. Nando’s needs to seriously retrain their Kensington High team.

Good old Nando’s.They got it down in this one👍
Good service, food was all good, cooked well and didn’t wait too long.

Happy days

I went to Nando’s to order/ take away . The place was very organised & menu is easy to read and find what you fancy

Straight to the till , welcomed by lovely member of the staff ordered our food , swiped my Nando card for points , paid and sat on a small waiting area which has wooden stools to sit on and wait for ur order

Restaurant is on the main road , you need to find parking on the streets near by , has a large seating area

Less than 25 minutes and order was ready , the lady brought our food , explained each box and made sure I am happy then offered me sauces like ketchup , mayo etc . She was generous & polite

Food was delicious & fresh , we really enjoyed it

Nando's Goodmayes Retail Park

Nice place to go. Good atmosphere. Good service when you're in there. My only issue is that it can get really busy on evenings and weekends and you have to wait ages. That's not really something they can sort out though

I recently ate at Nando’s and the food was excellent. The chicken was flavorful and cooked just right, and the sides were just as enjoyable. The small meal for kids was also a nice surprise — well-portioned and tasty, making it a great option for families. The only downside was that the restaurant could have been cleaner. The tables and floor needed more attention, which took away slightly from the overall experience. That said, if you’re going for the food, Nando’s definitely delivers

⭐ Review of Nando’s Goodmayes ⭐

Nando’s Goodmayes has become my family’s go-to restaurant, and for very good reason. While the food is consistently delicious and the team always welcoming, there is one member of staff who truly elevates our experience every single time – Veronica.

I have been enjoying Nando’s for over two decades, and visiting this branch since it first opened, more than six years ago. In all that time, Veronica has stood out as an exceptional professional whose warmth, attentiveness, and impeccable customer service skills make every visit memorable. She doesn’t just serve food – she creates an atmosphere where families like mine feel genuinely valued. My child, in particular, lights up when Veronica is the one looking after our table, which speaks volumes about the positive impact she has.

The restaurant itself is excellent: halal poultry is served (with certification on display), there is ample parking, and the venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users both in the car park and inside the restaurant. The addition of Dr Pepper to the drinks menu has been a welcome touch, and the food is almost always spot on. Since the pandemic, the service has been seamless – I’ve never had to queue, and the team’s efficiency has been faultless.

What makes this branch truly special, however, is the people. Staff like Veronica transform a good meal into an outstanding experience. She embodies the very best of what Nando’s represents – dedication, kindness, and professionalism. It is my sincere hope that her managers and the wider company recognise the extraordinary contribution she makes, because employees like her are the heartbeat of the brand.

Thank you, Nando’s Goodmayes, and thank you, Veronica, for giving myself and my family such consistently wonderful experiences. Our visits would not be the same without you, and we are deeply grateful for the joy and care you bring to every meal.

We visited Nando’s recently and, as always, the food was tasty and full of flavour, you really can’t go wrong with their chicken, chips, and rice. However, it did take quite a while for our order to arrive, and when it finally did, the food was a little colder than expected.

The restaurant itself was very busy and felt a bit crowded, which made the dining experience slightly less relaxing. It also got quite messy around our table, though one of the staff members was really helpful in assisting with the clean-up, which was appreciated and showed great service.

plenty of empty tables, i was waiting for over an hour and still no table. service is poor and staff is rude, manager is so bad and clueless blind short hair high ponytail. They wait to sit the big tables first even though there’s plenty of smaller seats available and we have been waiting longer for smaller parties is ridiculous higher better staff who work with urgency rather than laziness

Slims chicken is known for their fresh crispy chicken & their wide range of sauces from ranch to blue cheese & to buffalo sauce.

The chicken was crispy, tender and cooked to perfection😍 we ordered two burgers, chicken tenders, wings and a wrap. The portion sizes were decent and filling. This is a cute lunch spot.

@syrianfoodies's review of Slim Chickens Marylebone on Instagram

Lush!! I always re-visit this Slims because it's clean, decent food and never a long wait - even though it can be quite busy.

Slim Chickens is one of my personal favourite chicken places in the UK.

I love that they have plenty of choice of dipping sauces and the Texas Toast is per perfection!

I always get the Hot Buffalo Sandwich with a side of chips and gravy 😍

My partner tried the new Sleigh burger, which he said was ok, it didn't taste festive enough, if that makes sense.

I hate the fact that all the syrups are sugar free though, we should be able to make a choice if we want sugar or not!

I'd eat piles of Texas Toast though, all day everyday!

Dear Reynold, thank you for serving us a nice and halal meal. I express my heartfelt appreciation for your outstanding customer service and your commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. You have a unique way of customer service and customer inquiry, which creates a bond and customer retention. You ensure the environment is tidy and after-sales service is provided.
We appreciate your hard work and commitment to making us, your customers, feel valued. Thank you for all you do!"

Amazing place, the food was fresh and hot. The staff were super friendly and the place was in excellent condition, we had the original chicken fillet and the mix platter (3 wing and 3 strips). The food is halal 👍🏼

Amazing food! The everything is really well seasoned, and the have some unique sauces like the Cayenne Ranch, Gravy Mayo and Slims sauce that are delicious!

I had honey BBQ sandwich, it was delicious and well done cooked! Really enjoyed them.

Moreover, I’d like to suggest offering the option to order the sandwiches without fries. We’re not big fans of fries in large quantities, and it’s unfortunate to see so much go to waste. I hope the management considers adding a no-fries or alternative side option like salad in the future.

Nando's Shepherd's Bush

This meal never disappoints. It's reliable, it's customizable to your exact spice craving, and it delivers that rich, comforting, yet fresh flavor that only Nando's can manage. I thoroughly enjoyed every flavorful bite of the chicken; it was a completely satisfying indulgence!👍👍🤩

Short walk away from Shepherd’s Bush market station. Staff were helpful and quick. Easy order process, great food, vibe was nice and cosy during the evening. Can’t go wrong with a Nando’s

First time visited this restaurant and I must say it's very nice, good was served quick and hot, usually you don't get hot nowadays at nandos, usually Luke warm but this restaurant served us verr nicely. Staff very good and well trained and helpful. Parking is restricted 8am till 9pm, but there are few pay n display but you have to look around as some road have it and some don't.

Had an absolutely disgusting meal delivered, inedible, chicken was hard and calloused over, definitely the day befores food and only fit for the bin. Avocado looked like it had been punched and left outside for 3 days. Customer service took 9 days to respond and offered me £15 to spend on eat in … so basically either have some hoummus and a coke on my own, or drag a mate and have a meal and end up giving them more £! Having a laugh. Won’t bother ordering again, £40 down the toilet and customer service could not give two hoots

First time visiting this place, not impressed. The food is good, but the staff are so busy they won't entertain you. I don't know where to order and had to wait for a long time for the staff to take my order. You can order online by scanning the QR code.

Nando's Stratford

I recently visited Nando’s stratford and overall had a great experience. The food was excellent – fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. The restaurant was quite busy and a little crowded, which may have contributed to the service being a bit slow. That said, the staff were friendly, and the lively atmosphere made it enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving delicious chicken!

Fantastic staff and warm hospitality at Nando’s Stratford. Great food and excellent service. A great family experience that made our evening a memorable one. Big thanks to Marzo for his generosity and attention; it made the visit memorable.

My visit to Nando’s Stratford was a lively and satisfying experience that delivered exactly what the brand is known for – bold flavors, casual comfort, and a buzzing atmosphere. The restaurant itself was spacious and modern, with a vibrant energy that made it ideal for both quick meals and relaxed gatherings with friends.

The food was excellent. The famous peri‑peri chicken was perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor, with the spice levels offering something for every palate. The sides – from peri‑salted fries to spicy rice and creamy coleslaw – were generous and complemented the mains beautifully. Vegetarian options were also available, showing thoughtful inclusivity.

The drinks selection added to the fun, with refreshing bottomless soft drinks and a mix of wines and beers that paired well with the food.

Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff kept everything moving smoothly and maintained a welcoming attitude throughout.

What made the visit special was the combination of signature peri‑peri flavors, lively atmosphere, and reliable hospitality. Dining at Nando’s Stratford felt less like a routine meal and more like a flavorful ritual that always delivers comfort and satisfaction.

Overall, Nando’s Stratford is a must‑visit in East London – a place where bold food, casual fun, and great service come together in perfect balance.

The customer service here is top-notch! The staff is attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction (Farhiz & Bilal, Sha, Gonzalo) . Their dedication to providing a positive experience truly sets them apart.

I have to say, I was expecting some fast food quality, but I got surprised when I actually got my chicken. It was delicious and super fast to arrive. The service was non existent, cause you can do everything through app. And that’s very comfortable:) no need to split bill by yourself if you go with a lot of friends!

The sauces are delicious

Only the place is kinda loud. I was expecting that, of course, but sometimes very much.

Tiger's Diner

My friend and I had a great experience at Tiger’s Diner in Shepherd’s Bush. We ordered the whole roasted chicken marinated with garlic, lemon and herbs. It was incredibly tasty, juicy, and really hit our taste buds. The set came with chips, rice and coleslaw, and the portion was generous.

The price is definitely worth it for the quality and flavour. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the dining area felt cozy and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious roasted chicken!

Tiger Diner is an absolute gem! The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions and great presentation. The flavors are bold and satisfying, whether you’re enjoying their signature dishes or trying something new. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, perfect for a quick meal or a relaxed dinner with friends. Highly recommend

Food was really nice and the meat was very soft and tender. The dynamite prawn was very big and juicy! Staff were also very kind and accommodating, they gave my baby cousin a free juice which was also very kind. Thank you very much we would definitely come again.

Food and service was great. Would recommend the chips 🍟 done differently as they tasted like McDonald's chips with peri peri seasoning.
The burgers were great. So much meat you could make 2 burgers out of one.
Well worth the money. Would love to host a large group there. Plenty of seating.

When I saw the this place was highly rated, I wasn't sure if it would live up to its hype. But it actually did. When we got there it was pretty busy and most tables were already full. I was impressed by the service and quickly we were seated and served. Food didn't take too long to come out either. We ordered the lamb shank and chicken loaded fries. I actually loved them both, lamb was cooked really well, nice tender and fell off the bone and the loaded fries were very tasty.

Magic Masala Greenford

Had an amazing experience. Service was excellent, food was served just on time. Best Kebab in town. Instead of repeat what other reviews have already stated I’ll simply say pay them a visit. They can accommodate large groups so take friends and family and order a large sharing platter. Reasonable prices to boot.
Best part live Music...
Lovely family atmosphere.

This was honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had in a long time. Nobody bothered to tell us the kitchen was closing, and the staff didn’t check on us even once. We literally sat there waiting, only to find out much later that we wouldn’t be getting any food at all. Completely unacceptable.

When we tried to raise the issue, the owner, Vijay, was unbelievably rude and dismissive. Instead of trying to fix the situation or even apologise, he acted like we were the problem. The attitude was shocking for someone running a business.

To make things worse, we watched other customers getting into arguments with the staff too, so clearly this wasn’t just us — the place seems to have serious customer service issues.

Terrible communication, terrible service, and an owner who clearly doesn’t care. I definitely won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Brilliant restaurant. Food was very tasty, very well presented and reasonably priced along with being served in  good portion sizes. The place was clean, very comfortable and cozy atmosphere, and the staff was very polite and attentive. 10/10

I am a real fan of Indian cuisine and I have to say that all food which I ordered in this restaurant was delicious! In addition the atmosphere and interior of Magic Masala is special, the place is clean and cosy  - you feel here an good atmosphere. I recommend  this restaurant for couples and families

Wow I bought the chilli chicken for lunch and it was delicious I have previously tried their panini and beef burger. I would highly recommend this place as they do a variety of different foods.

Chilli Flames

The thing I find annoying about @boxparkcroydon is you can access the menu from your phone and place an online order, but there’s no info on which retailers serve halal food, so then you have to walk around to each retailer to enquire separately. After a couple of mins of poking around each eatery I decided to just play it safe and go for Coqfighters, which in my opinion is best option on offer.

We went for the original and green chilli cheese burgers with the buffalo wings and dashi & smoked paprika fries. It didn’t disappoint and needless to say we didn’t require any dinner that night! We were stuffed, especially since we rounded off our meal with some raspberry and peanut butter cookie dough from @humbledough_

Love the vibe at Boxpark Croydon and we had some amazing company seeing friends too. Nothing beats the vibe of my hometown ❤️

@thehalalplug's review of Coqfighter Croydon on Instagram

Coqfighter Croydon

Best chips we’ve ever had!!!!!!!!!!

The chicken bites were lovely! Garlic Mayo was very strong, full of flavour - very very nice.
Bf had the burger which he said was lovely, really good but it was just dripping from the beetroot unfortunately. So he left some due to the water absorption. But otherwise the overall taste was brilliant!

Delicious chicken and toppings, and service was nice and quick. Everything fresh and tasty. Only thing is the portions could do with a tweak in parallel with price. I spent about 15 quid and the burger seemed tiny in my hand, almost a slider! Also the fries were just enough for a handful and were basic thin cut frozen chips you could get anywhere else.

I’d totally go again, though. They’ve certainly got their own unique recipes and know how to cook chicken well. I’ll just need to bring a sandwich with me to fill me up properly next time! And maybe take out a mortgage 🤣

Truely terrible food the wings tasted like they were off and had a awful smell spat out straight away! Chips were cold and undercooked all at the same time and Burgers had almost nothing in them. Keep the money ill never come back

Had the honey ginger burger which was nice enough, a little small for the money but not outrageous…

The chips on the other hand, that was daylight robbery! I added chips for £4 and I got 26 chips - so few I actually bothered to count them. I had to do a double take when I looked in the chip bag.

I’ve never had a problem here (eat in or take away). I love the burgers. My only feedback is that the fries portions are now tiny!

All our chicken is sourced from UK farms and is Halal certified. Since remocing the vodka from our k-wings. Our entire menu is now Halal.

Chicken Kitchen Camden

I came here with my friends and had a fantastic time! The atmosphere was quite warm and friendly, and everything seemed to be in great order. One of the staff, Aisha, was really nice and went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed the entire time. We will definitely be making a return!

I don’t understand how a shop can mess up an order back to back. They first missed out my 2 drinks then the next day they missed out 2 fries. I had 2 in complete meals back to back.

Was pretty relaxed with the food having a slight, welcomed, spicy kick. For Central London, you're also paying a decently low price for unique types of food like Fried Jerk Chicken Burgers.

Would definitely return to.

Great costumer service especially from a girl named aisha she was very patient despite my indecisiveness and our order came rather quickly would definitely visit again!!food was good

The place is super clean, with great food and super friendly staff! in particular, Aisha was extremely kind and helpful, thank you!!!

Chicken Kitchen

Popeyes Louisiana Chicken

I got the stacker burger with consists of chicken fillet, hash brown, cheese and mayo. Very crispy outside and juicy inside. With chicken tenders that were really chunky and well seasoned tenders. Fries were surprisingly tasty, better than any on the high street.
My only critique was a strange smell in the restaurant that smelled abit like a dirty mop.

Normally it’s good from here but on this occasion it was very poor the fries seemed old and like thay have been reheated or something .it was like eating thin strips of cardboard also the tenders were tiny I have never had tenders that small before . Maybe it’s because I ordered them via just eat

Great visit to Popeyes Romford and a tasty cold treat on a hot day!

The Popeyes stores are currently doing a special promotion where you can get a Whipz (ice cream) for 99p which is a saving of a few pounds off a normal sized ice cream! It’s tempted me in and I ordered a Biscoff Whipz.

I highly recommend it, the portion size was good and flavour was lovely! I very rarely visit Popeyes but this promotion was very good and one I’ve been doing when they put it on for a limited time only!

The staff were very friendly and I was approached by a happy member of staff in the dining area who encouraged me to complete a Google Review!

The ordering process was easy because of the self-service kiosks to place your order and there is the ability to pay cash at a till too! The dining area was clean and tidy which impressed me and the atmosphere was good.

I’d definitely return to this store and recommend it to friends and family! Thank you.

went there for the first time got the chicken box everything. service was quick but that was the only good thing. the whole place was dirty we had to get a worker to clean our tables she gave us attitude. after 5 minutes into my meal a worker came to us and basically forced us to give a review. she took my phone then gave a review that wasn't even my own opinion. and she had so much attitude too. after that it was a little awkward. i soon took a bite out of my wing it was raw. so i put it in the bin. i needed to go toilet and all of them were dirty.

I am a loyal customer of popeyes Romford, however after today’s experience I won’t visit them ever..
I ordered a spicy Chicken wrap which was cold upon touching . I took it back to the server and requested if they can warm it.
I was told that lettuce and tomatoes in the wrap are needed to be kept cold to retain their freshness so when these veggies are put in the wrap it makes the wrap cold. I asked if they can warm the wrap for me but I was told that they are not allowed to do that.

KFC Ilford - High Road

Food was okay but fry portion was too small. Food was little warm. Expected to be much more hot. The food was not fresh as well. We ordered Dirty Louisiana , 1 bucket of 10 wings and loaded fries. It was busy but the tables were dirty and there was no attendant or stuff to clean them. There was only one disable toilet but that was also out of order. The manager was rude to the customers . Overall , I would not recommend anyone to go there . Try to avoid KFC Illford

Salman delivered outstanding service during my visit to KFC Ilford High Road yesterday. From the moment I approached the counter, he greeted me with genuine warmth and professionalism, instantly making the experience feel more personal and welcoming. His communication was clear, friendly, and patient, which made ordering feel effortless even during a busy time.

What really stood out was the pride he took in his role. Salman made sure my order was prepared correctly and handled everything with care and efficiency. He checked everything before handing it over, and his attention to detail showed that he genuinely cared about customer satisfaction. It’s rare to meet someone who balances speed with quality so perfectly.

Overall, Salman transformed an ordinary fast-food visit into a genuinely pleasant experience. His positive attitude, respect, and customer-first mindset make him a great asset to the store. I left feeling appreciated and well-served, and I will definitely return thanks to the level of service he provided.

Thank you Salman.

no tray

very bad
more than two month toilet is not working
one toilet is for family also is not for use

Extremely disappointed with my recent KFC Ilford order on 10/06/2025 — the chicken was dry, bland, had a bad smell, and lacked the usual KFC flavour. As a long-time customer, I expected much better quality. This was the worst meal I’ve had from this brand.
Not recommended.

I visited this store to ask a few info  but the experience was very disappointing. When we approached the counter, the restaurant manager abdur was on a phone call on the floor and didn’t acknowledge us at all—not even a quick “I’ll be right with you.” We waited, expecting at least some basic courtesy, but he continued his call without offering any help or even making eye contact.when we are trying to ask him to call the team lead or manager then he responded im the manager wait for 2 minutes in a very rude way ,He suddenly went back to talk with some other guy who came from outside . Then he returned back saying yes what do you want? He’s to arrogant ,even he being in a manager position not able to give response .
It felt unprofessional and disrespectful, especially since we were there genuinely trying to get information. Customer service is a big part of any business, and this experience fell far below expectations.
I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves communication and professionalism moving forward. Thank you

HFA has certified KFC's products in these stores, and the store environments, as halal. KFC has also ensured that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards employed in the UK, and has consulted leading animal welfare groups about this. KFC insists that all poultry is stunned before slaughter. HFA allows the use of a technique called 'stun-to-stun' - a pain free process that makes the animal insensible to pain and suffering. A verse is also recited from the Quran at the point of slaughter by an appropriate person and the poultry will not come into contact with non-halal meat at any point in the supply chain. KFC only buys high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, and this will not change.

KFC London

Very disappointing experience. The location and restaurant design are great — such potential — but the quality of the food was far below KFC’s usual standard. The chicken was extremely salty, and when I mentioned it to the staff, I was told that all KFCs in the UK are the same, which isn’t true since I’ve had much better meals at other branches. There were also no serviettes or straws available. Overall, it seems to be poorly managed, which is a shame given how nice the place looks.

First time I have been to this KFC and i'm was  satisfied with the service and the food. The Place it was very clean, including the restrooms, the atmosphere was great and as there wasn't many seating customers it was very peaceful. I had to wait for a few minutes for the chicken but it was worth it as it was pipping hot, and crispy.The staff were attentive so overall a good fast food outlet.
The only thing I with that it was a choice of water with the meal deals as I don't drink fizzy drinks.

I went searching for a KFC Stuffing Burger for lunch today. Bishopsgate had sold out, so I walked to Tower Hill, determined, and they had one. First impression of the burger upon opening the box was dreadful. The bun looked plain, the chicken and stuffing looked uninspiring, but it was then surprisingly good. The stuffing was really juicy, just the right amount of cranberry. I opted against the double chicken Stuffing Stacker and went for the solitary Stuffing Tower, but made it a box meal. In hindsight, the 1 piece original chicken was unnecessary as it added nothing to the meal, and a Stuffing Stacker would've been preferable. I'd give it an 7/10 for taste and 3/10 for how it looked.

The service in the restaurant was quick and well mannered.

The restaurant itself is a strange place, in the arches underground, with the sound of the London Underground trains rattling close by. It was clean and tidy though, and looked to have a barrier entry system for the toilets.

Food was good but the ladies toilet was disgusting. It was dirty, there was hardly any toilet paper, wet tissue left on the floor, the walls and ceiling were filthy and the ceiling is also very low in places and should have a notice advising this.

All, please avoid this place. One of their team members came to the toilets from the kitchen and used the standing urinals then left without washing his hand. This was today 25/11/2025 at 17:15. Manager should immediately fire this guy I don’t know his name but he had a dark hair and brown skin. I first used the bathroom to wash my hands first before eating but then left immediately when I saw that.
I was shocked and disgusted.

KFC Whitechapel - High Street

I am extremely disappointed with my recent visit to KFC experience was unacceptable from start to finish.
The restaurant was filthy. The seating area and floor were covered in spilled food, stains, and litter that staff made no effort to clean. It was unhygienic and off-putting to even sit down.
The chicken was served cold and tasted undercooked. It had a strong smell of palm oil, which was unpleasant and made it inedible.The fries were soggy, greasy, and clearly not fresh.
Overall, the food quality was far below the standard one would expect from KFC.
I did not feel comfortable eating the meal and left most of it uneaten. For a global brand like KFC, this level of poor hygiene, food safety concerns, and lack of quality control is shocking.

KFC is perfect for anyone craving crispy fried chicken.
The chicken is juicy inside and has a flavorful crunchy coating.
The secret seasoning makes it taste unique and addictive.
Sides like fries, coleslaw and mashed potatoes complement the meal.
Delivery and dine-in are both convenient.
Portions are generous and filling.
Staff are usually polite and efficient.
A go-to place for comfort food lovers.

visited the Whitechapel KFC shortly after their posted opening time of 9:30 AM. Despite arriving at 9:33, the store was still closed. A staff member told me it would take 5 minutes, but when i returned at 9:40, another staff member said it would be another 10 minutes. When the store finally opened, instead of offering an apology for the delay, the staff showed attitude toward customers, which made the experience even more disappointing.

The quality has been getting bad anyway but today was the limit, i got the new honey burger and the chicken was raw inside it, literally hard and raw with batter on top, they are selling unsafe stuff now, extremely pathetic, KFC has lost its quality now.
I am a doctor myself  and I think this food can cause diseases , they should be reported to food regulatory authorities. I don’t know how to do it yet but i will find out and do it. Criminal negligence.

Recently, I’ve been visiting KFC, and the experience has been consistently disappointing. Every time I ordered wings, chips, and a wrap, the quality was extremely poor. The wings were always soaked in oil and seemed undercooked, as if they hadn’t been fried properly. The chips were soggy instead of crisp.
The wrap was the worst part. The lady who prepared it didn’t make it properly at all—there wasn’t enough chicken, and half of the wrap was just empty tortilla. She didn’t even toast the wrap, which made it even more unappetizing.
Overall, the service and food quality were unacceptable. Very disappointing and definitely not what I expect from KFC.

I checked out @afrikanakitchen a new addition to the food court at Lakeside shopping centre in Essex. 

They have a restaurant which I've not been to, so I was happy to check out this new version that offers up food inspired from regions of Central Africa. The menu has different options from wraps, burgers and chicken. Here's what I ordered. 

Lady Fingers £4.95
High on Halloumi £5.95

We goat your back £12.95
Phat Chicken Box £15.95

Mocktails £3.95 each
Island Dream
Passion Please

Pistachio Bombe £5.95

I really liked the flavours of the goat curry, it was reminiscent of a traditional bengali homemade curry, the meat was soft and tender and full of flavour. Really liked this. 

The phat box what filled with loads of elements, massive bit of fried chicken, mac n cheese, spicy prawns, Grilled chicken wings, jollof rice, Steamed tender stem broccoli and fried plantain. This was good, the wings and mac N cheese were a bit average, but the large chicken, rice and prawns were yum. 

Liked the lady Fingers a lot and the Halloumi was massive. I enjoyed all the food I ate, but do feel that the price on the mains are reflective of a restaurant and not a food court, a bit too expensive but the cost of everything has risen lately. 

The Mocktails, under £4 were really nice, a bit too much ice but the balance of sweetsness and fruit flavour was good. 

Overall a good addition to the food court at Lakeside and worth checking out. All food is halal. No alcohol is present in the food court area. My meal was complimentary.

@halalfoodguy's review of Afrikana Lakeside on Instagram

Afrikana Restaurant Lakeside

This is my first time at afrikana and I am absolutely blown away. The service was bang on with attentive staff which helped with my choice and selection. And I can seriously say this is some of the best chicken you can ever taste. I would suggest going for the africana flavor. It hits differently.

I was happy to see the recyclable packaging also.

Great food, really enjoyed the spice and flavours. Recommend the goat curry with plantain. Kids enjoyed the wings with the milder lemon and leaves sauce. Jollof rice side had a nice kick to it. Friendly service and not a long wait for food to be prepared.

Delicious food with rich flavors and amazing presentation. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout. A fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Had a free chicken rice box (with jerk BBQ sauce) today, as they were celebrating their anniversary. The taste and quality were amazing. Thank you so much. Looking forward to trying the goat curry one day soon.

If I could give 0* I would. Everytime I come here the service is very dismissive. I ordered something different as a recommendation from my colleagues. My food looked completely different to theirs even though it was the same thing. Not sure if its because I am a female and they are males. My food took 15 minutes, was not even fresh, was very very stale.

Asked for a bag, was dismissed and told only for uber eats and deliveroo they give bags but again my colleagues always get bags. On top of that the man was speaking to me with airpods in his ears which I find very rude.

KFC Stratford - The Broadway

I visited KFC recently and was disappointed to find that they had no ketchup or mayonnaise available. I asked the staff, and they told me they had completely run out. Sauces are a basic part of the meal experience, and it really affected the enjoyment of the food. I hope they improve their stock management so this doesn’t happen again.

Worst eating experience!  We usually pop in and the manager (guy) is super nice and service is on point. Today this lady, the (team leader) was so rude after being served poorly for a mega box. She instead to argue with us about fries quantity instead of solving the issue professionally and politely. Do not promote her to management! Worst skills peoples skills ever !

probably my worst experience i had as a regular, i got myself a take out after i got home straight away the quality of the meat was off it was completely dry and im sure they suppose to disposed of these meat and make fresh one to serve, the rest what you see on the photo had to be thrown away…

Worst experience in KFC!! I spent more than 10£ and in return i got wrost chicken which smell so raw and feels so uncooked, waste of money.

I know the place is always busy but the hygiene is zero on the outside, so I can only imagine how it is at the back where we can't see. Staff are also timid, unhelpful with no customer care experience at all. My review is based on my 3rd visit to make sure it wasn't based on a short term lack of what I mentioned, but its safe to say that I'll never set foot in there ever again.

Casa do Frango Mayfair

Ate here tonight for my anniversary.
First time here and what a surprise.
Beautiful and homely interior with an array of Poruguese sharing plates.
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening and a special thanks to our server, such a nice young guy and on hand the whole time to answer any questions and offer to remove the onions from the rice as I can’t eat them, rather than us changing our order.
Definitely worth a visit, can’t ever imagine you’ll be disappointed.

New menu at this Portuguese chain and I'm not sure it's quite as it used to be. Food was good for starters but mains were a little disappointing. I had new pork chop with red pepper sauce and crackling crumb. It sounded good but I was really surprised when I tasted the fish as the crackling crumb tasted like it had been fried in very old oil which ruined the taste of the whole dish. They exchanged it excluding the crumb and it was better but it shouldn't of even got sent out from the kitchen...not sure who is tasting food before it left the kitchen. Anyway wine was good and sides quite nice. Service was also very odd, we must of had at least three different servers and we were brought food from another table and then asked if we wanted to move outside which another table had obviously requested. So basically some training is required, which was disappointing. I really love this chain so overall felt a bit let down. Maybe it was just this outpost as London bridge is normally v good.

Really great food and atmosphere. Spacious, doesn’t feel cramped. Staff really friendly, always speaks to you with a smile. Prices reasonable. Toilets clean.

Had dinner with friends and had an amazing time. Will be back for sure. Thank you!

Lovely experience with amazing food. Almost didn’t order the chicken but it was delicious. The casa rice was amazing too.
Would have preferred if the iberico croquettes and almond cake was warmer then it was.

Fantastic.
My first time and no REGRETS.
The atmosphere is serene and friendly and clean and absolutely serene. Decoration is LOVELY.

Chicken cooked to perfection, suculenta and tender and tasty.
Love it!

Our chicken is Halal but we do not operate a fully Halal kitchen, as we use ingredients such as pork and alcohol in other dishes.
