    It's a nice view seeing traffic while there is quietness indoors. Service is quick and also you could just pick up your Nandos take away in a matter of minutes if not seconds. The cashiers are upto the task. The new renovations make it more cozy and relaxing. Great atmosphere for dates, business meetings and family meetings esp family

    It's the same old Nandos we all love, perfect drilled chicken and perfect service. It's awesome for just two ✌🏽 or a crowd. Ordered two half chicken which were great, chips, Greek Salad with Pineapple and Feta, with their designer drinks. Lovely atmosphere. I don't regret it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    The fries need 100% new recipe please. Hmm they are hard. The chicken is great. Lack of stuff on the menu. No milkshake available. Poor service by the cashier : attitude. The waiters were great.

    I love Nandos Chicken 🙌👌. I make sure I buy it every time I travel to Harare. Parking is sometimes a hustle especially during peak periods. I wish some of the ladies serving at the tills were more polite n welcoming though.

    When one orders a half chicken 🐔 😋 of breasts why then should they be given a leg potion. In addition to mix up a take away with a sitting. Thank you for taking visa cards anyway the place is packed frequently.

    Good lighting & deco - but we had a horrible service- The tables were dirty, & the beverages we wanted were not in stock. We ended up drinking the only ones that were available- Icy coco pine - Music was way to loud. Conclusion: Standards have gone down here!

  • 5/5 Tadana Tafadzwa M. 5 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    Absolutely loved the place. The Till Operators were super friendly and patient, the waiter didn't hesitate to bring the drinks we ordered as we sat down and the food arrived in less than 10 mins. I ordered a half chicken meal with a coke and a Boujee Bowl with extra haulomi cheese with a minute made. All for $17 The portion sizes are fair. The Boujee Bowl is a must have, the Haloumi cheese is incredible, I suggest you introduce Haloumi sticks, like in the UK branches. Its not a busy area and there is great ventilation, highly recommend!

    Wow. I had one of the best experiences at this place. I'm intrigued with their attention to datail, everything is just perfectly designed for a best experience. A very beautiful place and exceptional waiters. The food is very good.

    I simply love their food, always good and never changes a bit in taste.

  • 3/5 Tracitee K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nandos is a niche market takeout/restaurant They offer succulent Portuguese chicken served with vegetables, rice,salad or fresh chips . I have tried their chicken wrap which is quite juicy. Im yet to try their burgers though. The location of this particular branch does not resonate well with the brand. The outside is often crowded with vendors ,touts etc. The safety of the parking is questionable. Their service is good though

  • 5/5 Lancelot G. 2 years ago on Google
    I am partial to Nando's, I do not know if I should be doing this review. But, if you really want to know. Nando's remains unbeaten as far as fast food outlets go. And the same goes for this outlet. It's spacious. Perfect for family meals. Furthermore, the service is always top notch.

  • 3/5 Leonorah K. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is beautiful.l was well served .l was quite disappointed because they were supposed to give me garlic bread but instead they gave me plain bread . Truly speaking l was disappointed.The main reason l even bought the food was because l love loved their garlic bread.Besides that only it's a very wonderful place to get delicious food 😊

  • 3/5 Anthony G. 2 years ago on Google
    A good branch that is now undergoing a much needed renovation

  • 3/5 AC (. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 David M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very well prepared chicken. Good service.

  • 4/5 Simon T M. 2 years ago on Google
    Convenient spot when most outlets are closed but slow service during peek hours. One can rather preorder on the Dial a delivery app for good lead times during times like lunch hour

  • 4/5 Thato hilda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an issue here but it was fixed Pronto. And their meals are great👍

  • 5/5 Midiah M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best, if not the best Nandos I have seen so far comparing it with Nandos Byo, Nandos Gweru and the ones in the CBD (Harare) The arrangement is just clean and good.

  • 4/5 clara m. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place delicious food😋 Air corn is too chilly though 😂🙌🏽

  • 4/5 Philip C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Wallace N. 2 years ago on Google
    Overally Great meals, parking is a hustle tough... City Council is always on your back

  • 1/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Waited for over 90 minutes to have our takeaway food prepared. Worst Nandos I have ever been to in Zimbabwe and internationally. There is a lot that they can improve on in terms of their Service.

  • 5/5 Sandra-Anne G. 2 years ago on Google
    Thd place has been renovated and is very clean and eye catching. Staff needs to talk more to clients though because not everyone is aware of the new ordering system.

  • 3/5 Natasha kuda M. 1 year ago on Google
    it's alright, spacious i like the designer drinks, just that the salt shakers should be filled up more often Went there a couple of more times, well the more I go the less I'd recommend, one of the few experiences I wanted to but lunch for the team in the office the phone wasn't reachable and later they were not picking, we went and ordered the order took forever and the orders were captured right but dispatched WRONG, i engaged them and I was given a ref number and nothing was done, went back again for twice lunch date and they always dispatch wrong. I have about 4 experiences where I had to just compromise to save time.

  • 2/5 Ndini C. 2 years ago on Google
    Do not go there if you are not patient enough to wait for an unimaginably long time. Went there, ordered , was told to wait 10 to 15 minutes and waited THIRTY WHOLE MINUTES for a simple Chicken Prego order. And to add insult to the injury, they only started processing the order when I went to complain. 2nd time, a week apart, had to wait over 45 minutes for a ¼ chicken and chips. You'd swear they are slaughtering their poultry in the back room themselves👎🏾 Might only find myself ordering there as a last resort and only because it is Nandos

  • 4/5 Kundishora M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best place when you want good fast foods and even traditional pap/sadza. Rice , quarter chickens, chips ,wraps etc.

  • 3/5 michelle j. 2 years ago on Google
    It was okay nothing bad or good just average maybe because it was a takeaway so I didn't seat to experience the place.

  • 4/5 Ben S. 2 years ago on Google
    The menu has changed. It had become much different from the usual fast food restaurants. Well done Nando's

  • 1/5 Ruben F. 2 years ago on Google
    Its so sad how Nandos is abusing its till operators buy taking money out of their pockets to pay for unreasonable, unethical policies they claim to have in place Nandos manager denied to give us the change the following day. He said it's your policy that when a client forgets his change when they come back they till operator will have to refund the money from their pockets even though the till operator declared an excess the day i forgot my change. I find this not ethical and looks like your stuff is stealing from till operators The till operator was about to cry as the manager insisted that Nandos dsnt refund any change left by clients hence to get the change the till operator will have to pay.

  • 4/5 Manica Healing S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and cheap beers.. See you again soon 😎

  • 4/5 Mpumelelo Lance D. 1 year ago on Google
    Since l last visited the place has changed but l totally love the decoration and the different colour themes they have gone for . We ordered full chicken and chips and it was tasty and this was after a drinking escapade so that we could kill the hangover.

  • 4/5 Learny N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good service and place is conveniently located in the Avenues area along Samora Machel. Place can be busy during peak hours like lunch so one needs to plan ahead when in need of buying food.

  • 5/5 maiguru p. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and service was superb. Will definitely visit more when am around.

  • 1/5 Nyasha G. 1 year ago on Google
    Well good cooked food and very tasty . But their overall service is poor . Very rude and slow service such a bore

  • 5/5 ChrisTopher M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places to have meals, if not my favourite. They make the meanest flame grilled chicken Chic update to the dining area

  • 2/5 Anthony M. 1 year ago on Google
    Slow service, cashier seemed absent minded. Some of the food was under cooked. Enjoyed the drinks though.

  • 1/5 Phill T Mhzhar (. 1 year ago on Google
    They don't have steak knives had to use my hands to it the butter knives can't cut the overdried chicken I had ordered something needs to be done with the service as it's poor took long to receive our order and tables don't have condiments. This establishment actually ruins Nandos for me.

  • 4/5 Grace T. 1 year ago on Google
    Love that it's open 24/7. Hate the touters outside especially at night. There's need for light and more security outside

  • 4/5 Abigail K. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved their service even late in the night. Ordered a late supper around 11pm, the food was fresh, hot and yummy. Good services and friendly staff 👍 there is very limited parking though

  • 5/5 Samuel Richard A. 1 year ago on Google
    Well, it was my second time at Nando's Samora Machel... that's when I bought The first time was when i was checking out available locations where I'd be able to get fast food that's also more natural as compared to other eating and takeaway places that simply bake chicken As a result, I landed on Nandos and realised their options were not baked, so you'd get a natural taste.. and had an option to choose the spice to be added to your natural grill Now, definitely, second time was today, and I ordered quarter chicken with mild pepper plus chips and it was a feeling away from the rest... All so delicious, and the natural taste surely made the difference as compared to all the other chicken places around town According to the location of Nandos, it's right on a street corner, so it has parking on both ends of the streets This provides ample parking space for more people as compared to when it's only one street

  • 3/5 bernard c. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordering queue very good, food serving appears to concentrate on eating in customers had to request fir my order since I was a take away customer. Excellent food

    Very busy Sunday at dinnertime, the Msasa Nando's is much calmer. However the rolls here were the freshest I've ever had from any Nando's.

  • 4/5 Shepherd M. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is spacious and good however it almost took forever to be served. When busy need for good management of orders

  • 5/5 Leencie 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Absolom M. 10 months ago on Google
    The service here is great that try to make sure that they serve you on time. The food is amazing.

  • 5/5 Tafadzwa Wilson M. 10 months ago on Google
    I think this is the most profitable nandos outlet in Zimbabwe. It's packed, but they still deliver on time service. The workers here deserve a pay raise

  • 3/5 Nephy 'Madd' M. 11 months ago on Google
    My first experience at Nandos Samora Machel is nothing to rave about. The food is always on point but the service we received was horrible. We ordered our food @ 13h41 and for 30mins we just sat there looking at each other. After multiple enquiries to 4 different personnel we eventually got our food, no sauces on the table and worse no cutlery. Nandos, please improve on your service. Nothing wrong with the food!

  • 5/5 Nash T. 10 months ago on Google
    Good nando's food but hey, this place is always packed and you have to wait a bit in a q. Love it though

  • 5/5 Blessing M. 9 months ago on Google
    Good food and great service and atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Violet Dambudzo Gondo T. 6 months ago on Google
    Nowadays lemon and herb chicken is served without the sauce. I don't know what is happening but it's more than 3 times now. I usually buy full chicken cut in 4. It will be plain or flat

  • 4/5 Santana M. 8 months ago on Google
    Typical Nandos however it can get a bit slow on a bad day so I don’t advise you Gi there in a hurry. However it’s Nandos and expect pretty much that. There’s a too pf decent seating to spend a few there. The parking can be a pain unfortunately and you would be lucky to get some at the wrong time

  • 1/5 Anderson C. 4 months ago on Google
