Wanted to try their veggie menu. Ordered veggie burger and sweet potato wrap with sweet potato fries on side and corn on cob. We chose medium spicy but that was very blend in taste burger bun was dry and thick , patty was made of beans but seasoning was missing , no sauces did not liked it . Wrap was ok ok. Cheese added saved it otherwise it was also not that good. Corn on cob was not as expected it smells bad . Overall not a good experience being a vegetarian.

Overall, the restaurant was amazing. The chicken was cooked a perfection with the right amount of robust flavors. We ordered the family platter with the lemon and herb sauce. We also got three large sides, which was the fries, garlic bread, and corn on the cob. We also ordered the rainbow bowl with a side of Mac and cheese. The mac & cheese was amazing and so was the rainbow bowl. It was like a burrito bowl, but much better as well as healthier in my opinion. The corn was very nice and sweet and grilled, but the other sides could also be grilled better. The garlic bread had the best crunchiness along with the fries and was cooked to perfection. The chicken was grilled with the best colored and flavorful chicken. They also give bottles of sauces to add flavors, which is the best idea a restaurant could do because the food became so much better along with this. The sauce complemented everything from the garlic bread to the chicken. We also got the bottomless fountain drinks along with the strawberry and mint lemonade, which tasted amazing. The atmosphere of the whole restaurant was pretty solid and looked like a very upscale restaurant in my favorite thing along with it was there was a sink on the outside where people can wash their hands because eating chicken does get messy and that was very thoughtful and very helpful. The workers there were very nice and they were attentive, and they always helped us and checked in on us too. Overall, this restaurant deserves a 4.37/5 and I would highly recommend this place.

Expensive for what was received. Here’s the “large” family coleslaw. Box wasn’t even half full, same with the other 3 sides which we upgraded. Overall good was ok, not the premium experience I was hoping for based on the price. I will say the white meat in our whole chicken was juicy and not at all dry. Skewers were weak for the 16$ they sell them for. Service crew was super nice

I’ve been to this place about a dozen times in the last ten years. The food is always delicious and healthy and the staff is lovely. Best coleslaw ever- and they make their own. Great fries and wonderful salad bowls.
The staff could not be more accommodating. Will keep eating here as long as it is open!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nando’s in Gainesville with a group of 20 friends, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere.
The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the incredible taste of the food. The peri-peri chicken was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy, leaving all of us craving for more. The sides were equally delicious, and the flavors were simply out of this world. Nando’s has truly mastered the art of delivering mouthwatering meals that satisfy every palate.
A special shoutout to the store manager, Steven Richard, who went above and beyond to ensure our large group was well taken care of. His professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. Steven consistently checked on us throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed and that our dining experience was flawless.
In conclusion, Nando’s Gainesville offers an unforgettable dining experience with amazing food and exceptional service. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy great flavors and top-notch hospitality, this is the spot to be. We’ll definitely be back for more!

FAMILY-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT
This restaurant is an excellent choice for families! They offer multiple high chairs, so even larger groups with young children are well accommodated. Crayons and activity sheets are provided, making it easy to keep kids entertained while waiting for the meal. The colorful decor adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere, and there’s even outdoor patio seating for those who prefer dining outside.
EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE
Ryan, the team lead, and his staff did a wonderful job ensuring everything ran smoothly. They were actively working to keep customers well-fed and hydrated, which really added to the experience. Kailey, our server, was friendly and cheerful, checking in with us several times to make sure everything was perfect. Sand was also working hard, keeping tables clean and the space tidy. The entire team’s efficiency and positive attitudes stood out.
TASTY FOOD AND GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS
The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The chicken can be served plain or with various flavors and sauces, catering to different preferences. Gluten-free options and flavored juices were available, which added variety to the menu.
ORDERING OPTIONS & ATMOSPHERE
You can scan and order or head to the counter, but we chose to order in person since there were no lineups. The atmosphere was relaxing, with music playing in the background at a comfortable volume that didn’t overpower conversations. Booths are available for those who prefer a cozier dining experience, and a self-service beverage station is conveniently located on the side.
CLEAN AND WELL-MAINTAINED
The bathrooms were clean and tidy, which is always appreciated. Overall, the service was prompt and courteous, with Kailey making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal.
We had a great time and will definitely plan to return! Thank you Ryan, Kailey and Sand for your outstanding service!

Honestly, I tried Nando’s multiple times to ensure consistency, and they are always on par every time! The chicken is fresh and juicy, full of flavor. Definitely best chicken out there. If you haven’t tried it, it’s a must! The lemon and herbs is my favorite. There are a number of levels for hot sauce on the side for your preference 🙂

absolutely delicious! We love Nando’s and this location is similar to all the others. Chicken is amazing, perfect level of flavor and spice. Garlic bread and peri fries are bomb with the seasoning.
No issues with service. Prices pretty reasonable.
I’ve been to this location many times, occasional hiccups, but staff and management have always taken care of it.

My parents lived in the UK for a few years and told me I had to try nandos if I ever got the chance.
The food was amazing. It was the first time my kids (6,5,3) ate almost all their food in one setting. The original wasn’t too spiced, and the medium had some good heat without over the top.
The service was very lacking and hands off. You got seated, then had to go to the bar to order, and they brought you your food, but the drinks, sauces, or anything extra was on you.
The atmosphere outside was good, and traffic noise couldn’t be helped, but definitely, the smell of sewage wasn’t great. Inside the music was very loud and the bathrooms weren’t very clean with trash overflowing.
