Nando's Cork - Mahon Point

"Everything was overall great! Very tasty and well cooked. Most of the beverages were bottomless and you can choose among different sauces. You have to set up your table. And here the only “bad” thing: I ordered a can of iced tea, which I didn’t like but it’s my personal taste, because I wanted still water but there wasn’t on the online menù. I discovered too late it was free and infinitely refillable."

"I don't know what it is about this particular Nando's branch, but they literally attract the BEST staff? As in, compared to all the dining establishments I've been to EVER, the staff here are seriously some of the best. It's mind-blowing. And I would have visited here, four times over nearly two years? All different staff members, all of them ranging from very pleasant to 11/10. This time, Nadia was the standout. I can't really remember the last time I experienced such amazing customer service at a restaurant, so absolutely kudos to you, girl! Staff aside (like they aren't reason enough to visit) this Nando's tends not to be that busy, AND they tend to be stocked with everything, which can be a real problem at some branches. Everything came out quickly, it was hot and it's Nando's so like, what's to complain about? The location is fab too, perfect for grabbing a meal before or after a film, especially if it's one of the slightly later ones as most days, they're open until 10. The loos are always clean, and they've even gotten rid of the QR codes, which is great because they never worked for me. So now, you can just order off the menu directly at the till! It really is the little things. 5 stars!"

"At very first day (somewhere in July) their food was nice, but later we felt that they are not as good as it was. Their online ordering system is a hassle. Nandos free WiFi is very slow and it takes more than 20mins to place an order or impossible to place an order via their online system. We get to starve before we get our food everytime we visit there. So, we try to avoid this place now."

"A disappointing visit to a well known food chain restaurant. An online ordering system that has so many problems it's not worth the hassle, the WiFi and the phone service in the restaurant isn't sufficient enough to handle such a system, spent 15 minutes trying untill eventually we asked staff for another option but unfortunately the staff were less than helpful also and were like please show us that its not working, have you tried this? Tried that? Etc untill I eventually asked if someone can just take our order please, even that wasn't easy enough for them, they proceeded to tell us,yes we can but our managers have to see that we tried to help you use online first, and when I again remarked the problems this staff member said ok,let me find someone who isn't a manager, are the staff scared of their managers or something? Eventually after a combined length of half an hour trying to order, we eventually had to go to the counter to order(they couldn't even take it at the table). If I was going on service alone this would be a 1 star review, however the food that followed had brought it up to 3. It was above average but not great food. The chicken burgers were nice, and had a good mixture of taste and spice, and the sides were tasty but nothing out of this world and we have definitely tasted nicer chicken burgers in Cork. Overall a poor experience with poor organisation, unhelpful staff but food that just about allows them to get away with it. Won't be rushing back."
