Chicken, wraps and burgers with Peri Peri seasoning

Nando's Goodmayes Retail Park

Was greeted at the door and seated quickly. Ordered at the till. Food was cooked and served to the table within 25 minutes. I had chicken thighs with a couple of sides. All tasted great. My only criticism was that the portion of chips was on the small side. Staff were polite and helpful. Toilets were clean to a good standard.

The manager “Riz” doesn’t have any respect and is clearly racist! They take their own people before everyone else. We tried to argue about it and the rude skin headed manager told us to not come considering it’s our local. Whenever we attend, we never have any issues. I’ve only ever experienced issues with this fella, last time he told us the wait was 45-60 minutes but we agreed and we were called within 3 minutes (not sure why he was turning anyone that wasn’t of Asian ethnicity away). A young lady named Mari tried to get involved in his defence and without trying to hear us out or ask us what the problem is, she automatically told us to leave also. Will make a complaint directly to Nando’s and hope he faces some serious consequences cause it’s just not nice or on. My wife is pregnant and we also had a 1 year old with us, told to wait whilst everyone else were being offered seats!

Incredible service!
Jake showed amazing customer service. He was attentive. And made sure we were happy and looked after
Also staff very friendly. Food delicious, lovely family atmosphere

Me and my wife have enjoyed eating at Nandos for many years and we tend to order the 4 thighs and mash. So we're accustomed to the portion sizes. First time visiting the Goodmayes branch on 15/02/23 and we ordered the same. We were suprised by the smaller portion from this branch. We're usually full by the end of our meal, but we were left hungry and had to buy elsewhere.

I thought it was just in my head, but the diners either side of me made the same comments. If this is a change from Nandos, then this is a shame. Either this or the branch is trying to shave portions for margins.

I was served by Dani, whose service was fantastic. I questioned the portion size with Dani and he gave me a fair response and I respect him for the way he spoke to me.

He called his Manager over and that was a different experience altogether. We were told his name is Luis. As he came over, without a greeting, he just hovered over us and stared at us intimidatingly and did not say a word. Acting oblivious to the issue I've raised, there was an awkward silence until I started talking. Completely lacked professionalism and empathy. Regardless of whether it was his fault or the brand's fault for the change in portion size, I accepted the response I had from Dani. Luis could definitely benefit from customer service training from either an accredited course or from Dani.

Quality food today.  Very friendly staff, especially Rima was amazing. She made us sit down, brought selection of dips for my take away order. Thank you will visit again soon.

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.

KFC Seven Kings - High Street

Went at a time where it was not busy. Service is okay, prices are expensive unless you use the app. We ordered 2 zinger tower boxed meals from the app for £12. The burger is nice but small compared to the KFC down the road. Chips were nice. Will go again, parking outside is free for 1 hour via the RingGo app or on the machines. Not much seating, tables messy.  Only 3 stars given.

Such a shame on you. KFC the worlds largest company made me vomit after eating your fried chicken feather got when I bought chicken wings from you. This will be the last ever KFC I eat in my whole life.

I'm not giving them any stars. Absolutely horrible. The other chicken shops are far better in taste and less expensive too.
I'm never going to KFC here again. Unfortunately,  to go ahead. I have to give them one star!!!!!

What’s wrong with this place? Everything! I ordered a zinger burger meal, vegan burger and chips.
My vegan burger had a tiny piece of lettuce and a dollop of mayo in it. It also looked like a pathetic version of what they advertise online.
Please do not get me started on the chips. There were 8 burnt mini excuse for chips in the packet. And the zinger burger looked like it was on a diet.
The only saving grace was the corn on cob.
I’ve ordered from here twice now and thought that they might have improved. Hell no! Folks avoid this branch at all costs.
Seven kings branch, get your act together. You are charging a lot of money for terrible food.

Terrible chicken in my zinger burger was raw pink. No dink. Poor delivery guy had no clue. Sort it out guys! At one time you were good .🤮

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.

Delicious fresh food, tasted a few different things off the menu, Brunch breakfast is 10/10 so are the pancakes and burgers. Lovely friendly staff, very welcoming would 100% recommend to anyone looking to go somewhere to eat. Best new brunch/restaurant in ilford.

Food was good, service was however average. Food arrived at the table without cutlery had to wait more than 5 minutes before asking for cutlery again in which time food had gone cold. They need a bigger seating area to cope with demand and more staff with attention to detail.

The cute little cafe is a great place to have breakfast, brunch or even lunch. The presentation of the food is the best I have seen so far. The flavour of the beans in the full english is lovely and not just the usual plain baked beans. The French toast is the best I've tasted and so crunchy too! The staff were very accommodating and service was lovely. I would highly recommend an expansion if possible as seating is limited and they do get quite busy.

Genuinely impressed by this place...I mean it is very busy (which is a good thing for them)  but sometimes you have to wait 5mins or so. It's definitely worth the wait...the beef brisket, is soooo good, one of the best I have had, having visited a number of breakfast places.

The single English is tasty and fresh, by that I mean the sausage isn't your typical out of the box, and eggs cooked nicely.

Latte and coffee as you would expect. Will be back, just for the brisket, it's worth the trip.

The atmosphere was nice, staff are all very friendly and the food came very quickly. Tastes as good as it looks, amazing food bursting with flavour! Will definitely visit again.

This place is amazing! Iv popped in several times since they have opened and thought it definitely deserves a review. The drinks and food were all tasty and deserts were delicious also very well priced, showed the best attitude to their customers. Honestly it has a good ambiance love the great interior all over the place, If you’re up for a fresh place this is a must to visit. I will definitely rate them a five-star six-stars if i could for everything that they provided. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food. Excellent service.Highly recommend it. The management and staff are to be commended for their expertise and professionalism. I wish the staff and management all the best for the future

Lovely food. Had a great time today with family. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Clean and modern decor.  This cafe will be one of my favourite places. Would definitely go again and recommend to others.

Amazing breakfasts . Th french toast was the best I have had around...
Took a while to come, but the wait was definitely worth it.
The karak chai was really good, and not milky brown syrup like in some places.
Will be going back soon.

Stumbled upon this place whilst driving stopped here for breakfast with my mate. There's a massive carpark directly opposite. Looks like a brand new establishment looked very nice and fancy. Food was absolutely tasty and delicious. Customer service was top notch. Will definitely visit here again.

Five Lads Goodmayes

Great service yesterday ! Was very impressed with the phone customer service! Took my order and have me a realistic time scale for order. Went into collect my order the receptionist was a amazing and I could even see the chef in the back he seemed very passionate about the food. Over all a great place with great food. The team are great at what they do. All the staff had a smile on their faces. I felt really welcomed! I definitely recommend them

You gotta eat here. Hands down the best grill chicken around. I love the sauce they use..nice big portion of chips and generous amount of chicken in the variety platter. 

To the owners: please please keep to this kind of cooking and portions. We will always come here to get out treat.

Amazing food. Great staff. Tasty food well cooked and awsome flavours. 100% Halal.

My boyfriend and I decided to try Five Lads for the first time today and we couldn't be happier with the food!

The food tasted incredible, it was better than Nandos. The peri chips were unreal and chicken had lovely flavour. Really liked the Peri mayo.

My boyfriend said that was the best chicken wrap he has ever had. 

Only negative was that there could be a bigger selection of sugar free fizzy drinks.

Will DEFINITELY order again!

Staff and customer service were pleasant. Ordered the 15 wings platter and about 5 wings were under cooked which didn't taste nice. The lamb chops were over cooked and lost it's moisture and tenderness. The only decent food was my child's food. Might visit again but not anytime soon.
