Nando's Octagon in Dunedin

You can put together a pretty tasty and healthy vegan meal here. I was impressed. Also, really nice staff.

Great experience, clean, friendly great food.

The food tastes amazing but the waiting time is way too high

Good food for a good mood. Ha Ha.!

Went here for the first time. I love Nandos ( In Hamilton but on this visit the lemon and herb flavor on my 1/4 and my wifes was no there . There was more flavor on my sons kids meal bbq tenders.

Great chicken and chips and friendly staff

Delicious good and friendly staff. Wouldve given it a 5 start but the toilets were very dirty and disgusting.

Poor food, slow service, overpriced food. Will not be going back again.

Bad service, food delayed, horrible attitude, they prioritize uber orders over dinning orders..definitely not coming here ever again

We ordered takeaways on Thursday night and were advised the 1/2 chicken would be 25minutes to cook. No problems with that, it was fairly early on in the evening.However, when we received our meal, the fries and 1/2 chicken were the only items that were hot and that even looked heated. The other chicken items were cold and looked marginally cooked. These were completely inedible and thrown out. If chicken is the basis of your menu then theres no excuse for getting it so wrong!

It was good nice ambiance, good food great quality and quantity was hygienic good for dinner.

Good place to try quality food

Absolutely love the Peri Peri Chicken Tenders and Burgers. Cooked to perfection thank you. Highly recommend.

Fast service, tasty food at a great price. Its a regular dine out for us.

I been to Dunedin nandos with my partner on reception staff have no sense off humer as he asked me to show my vaccine pass which I have shown them as it in present and my wife she flown from overseas last month and not able to get the pass as this is getting over on 4 th off April in New Zealand so she can’t get a pass in here but she’s fully vaccinated as it’s shown on her passport. I asked to staff to let her in as she’s vaccinated and if needed we can speak to the council as we have all the proves .And more over in store dinning there was no social distance protocol followed and the guy was so rude to us . Is it only because Dunedin got only 1 Nando’s store in town .Really disappointedNo sense off hummer to such kind off human beings n

Its fine... yummy... more staff? Needs to get a bit quicker

Dont know why this place is considered a fast food place but definitely better than most fast food places. Nicely seasoned juicy chicken and sides. Love the peri peri sauce. Ive been there quite a few times and definitely will still come back.

I love Nandos Peri Peri grilled chicken as a flavourful and spicy food. However, this particular Nandos as an outlet (only branch in Dunedinis quite average, compared to many other Nandos I have tried, especially in Australia they seem to have much higher standards, by comparison.Usually, this brand of restaurants are privately owned franchise stores, but this one is actually a company owned store. Which makes it even more unbelievable, to consistently have an average experience every time I have dined here.At the self service kiosk, either plates or water glasses or cutlery or Peri Peri sauce bottles or paper towls, one or the other are always missing. Theyre never full / properly replenished. Nothing to take away from staff though, they usually seem welcoming and sincere enough and they seem to try their best, but the fact that every time I go there, there are new staff, trying to do things the Nandos way. Also, theyre always advertising for staff. I cant understand, why do they have such high turnover of staff? That too, for a restaurant in a prime location like this particular one?Perhaps, they need to lease this store to a franchisee, who can give it the personal commitment it needs, to lift it from the current mediocrity to a future excellence.

BBQ ribs were grilled perfectly! Manager did so well juggling g vaccine pass checks, uber orders, a full restaurant and the cooking! 4 stars are for her snd the chook. What a lady boss!!

Closing at 10 pm but not taking orders from 8.45 pm when we tried to place a order online for pick upAfter trying every option and the page telling us the timeslots werent time enough to complete the order my husband drove there to order in person and was turned away at 9 pmUnfortunately never got to try the food so cant comment on that.If the kitchen closes way before the restaurant let people know on you web page.Its misleading, frustrating and annoying

Got there at 3pm today 4 January 22. Wanted to order half a chicken. I was told it will take half hour to cook my food and I should order something else. My wife and I left.

Great place and fantastic service, very helpful and friendly staff. Great experience to having dinner here

Spot on hot chicken with peri peri chips. Great service and inviting ambience. Not sure why bacon is in the menu as many Muslims dont eat at places that might claim halal food but has pork products at premises. Bad decision team

Understaffed? Food was fine but when I visited on Friday night poor girl at the front was running around looking like she was expected to do more than one person can handle. She was such a pleasure though so well done to her! I would be questioning management on this as place looks understaffed and the staff seemed overworked. As somebody who works in hospitality myself, it is so important to take care of your workers. Cannot support places that cant support their staff.

We arrived around 6pm and were told by the staff that they were out of half the menu and it would be over an half hour wait if we wanted to order any of those items. The resturant was fairly empty so they couldnt have run out! Really disappointing experience.

Nice chicken wrap and pleasant staff.Only problem is I could have eaten 3 of the wraps/burgers, but that would have been almost $40. Nice snack though.

Stunned at how small the paella rice was for a whopping $17.00 on ubereats, much smaller than the burger pictured next to it which was $14.50. Burgers were soggy and slippery to eat. So disappointed at the portion size for the rice, cannot understand how this is reasonable, we thought they gave us the kids menu size. Unacceptable. What a sorry sight. Save your money and get a takeaway fried rice for half the money and triple the size of the same quality.

Food was fantastic. Restaurant decor is amazing and lively.My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Nandos. Thanks to the team👍

Love the chicken, the spices get in to the bone. Yellow rice is ok, peri peri chips is nice, cooked well. The garden salad is below the standard, the lettuce wasnt fresh, they should check it first before serving to customers. You can have a lot of sauce to choose as an addition. Anyway the place is quite clean and cozy. Ill back next time.

Pretty terrible service and the food isnt all that. Went on a sat evening and they only had 2 bottles of beer (other than the low /no alcohol stuff which they had plenty of because no one actually likes that stuff!). Will def never go again.

Very quick and friendly service. Chiken well prepared and really tasty.

Got a half chicken, says its marinated for 24 hours to soak in flavour but looked like a freshly cooked chicken on the inside. Nicely cooked but not that much meat when your paying the price of a whole large chicken at the supermarket to end up with only the skin flavoured. Always enjoy the sauces tho

Came here for lunch and got 1/4 chicken (mildand peri peri chips. Very tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff were very friendly and it was a nice setting. The only reason for 4/5 is that there was a lot of dust and some rubbish under the bar leaner along the front of the restaurant which could be seen from our table. I highly recommend coming here.

Love Nandos!! Great great great food. Not processed like Macdonalds and companions nor is it lacking flavor after eating the outside like KFC. Cheap for what you get. If you havent had Nandos you are missing out. Save money by buying the full chicken with combo. Sounds like I work for them but am truly just a big fan of their food.

Not impressed..always love Nandos..ordered family feast take away..one side coleslaw..that must have been.off..tasted aweful..we couldnt eat it. Also..I felt like we only received a 1/4 chicken..way too little..not a family feast..definately not value for money this time.

Lovely restaurant to go dining with your mates or for a date. You can choose your own level of spiciness, although I did find the level "hot" to be not too spicey. You can also always add the different sauces yourself afterwards.Another thing, if you order food as a group, its really easy to split the bill evenly between your mates. 10/10 services. Would go there again.

I went here with a group of 6 and our order was brought out very quickly, quite impressive considering it was relatively busy. I ordered a haloumi salad, and the haloumi was perfectly cooked and full of flavour, I was very pleased. Affordable prices! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The only thing I will say is that if you are celiac or gluten intolerant like me, there is little range and the menu does not indicate gluten free items very clearly

Love their new location. Good interior. Food is always good. I like that you can choose the level of spiciness of the food since I am not a fan of very hot and spicy meal; just mild to moderate. Don’t forget to have peri-peri sauce on the side! It complements the juicy, grilled chicken and fries. 😋

Probably the best grilled chicken, so juicy and flavourful!

Chicken was tender, juicy, and amazing. Was also very good pricing and a great atmosphere.

I really enjoyed this place. The food was marvellous

Chicken not grilled hot enough so no char lines.. haloumi had an unpleasant texture that was more like rubber than cheese. Not very impressive for a $20 salad

Only giving this star because of the girl who served us she was polite and friendly otherwise if their was an option I would had choosen minus(-rating option for our experience. When we placed our order she told us there was a wait of half an hour but we were happy to wait. After placing the order we went an seat on our table and the first dish took 50mins and than we were waiting for the rest of food to come so we can start eating but they completely forgot about the rest of the order and when the waitress realised that our table number is still with us she came an asked that were we waiting on something else then we showed her the recipet then she rushed back to kitchen and told to the grill person preparing the food and they panicked to get our means to ous. As we were seating right in front of the kitchen we noticed that they microwave the chicken and the hygiene stand were poor the girl who was cooking our meal she was eating something behind the counter and was keep on coming out to see her friend who was just sitting at the front of the counter she mucked up our order as I asked for the dish to be mild but it was hot bcoz she was way too busy paying attention to the other girl, she jumped out of the kitchen to talk to her friend numerous times and taking selfies, she was using cellphones and cooking our meals without following any food hygiene procedures and she was handling cash on the same time. By the time we’ve got our rest of the meal the first dish got cold we didn’t even enjoy our food at all. We were so hungry after waiting so long we didn’t ever care to complain on the spot. It was the worst dine in experience we have ever had. They were turning away the customers at 9:00pm STATING THEY WERE SHUT even tho the closing time was 9:30pm.

Great location. Can fit large groups. However, not much options besides "chicken" and chips.

So delicious!!! Wow Nando’s first-timers here, and I must say, it lives up to the hype. So yummy, fast, affordable and perfectly spicy! The interior is also really cool. And the bathrooms are spotless. Great place for lunch as you walk around the Octagon. Great location ! I am posting a pic of our empty plates- just to show how much we enjoyed our lunch!

Good food, tried the Supreme pita and quinoa.salad. Very long wait though..

Good food and atmosphere. Crazy busy with PINK on but order came out in good time and staff great. Tables hadnt been cleared but understandably and staff apologised.

Absolutely the best dining experience weve had in the last 12months. We went in with our two kids (of which one was asleepand were promptly taken to a table that we chose and sat down. Made an order for 3 different burgers (+ chips and drinkand sat back admiring the decor. Next thing, the manager is coming over with complimentary chicken thighs as a sampler before our meal arrived. Love it.This restaurant is brand new and absolutely perfectly decorated. Different seating options, from Booths, to tables and other areas.We loved it and will definitely be back - probably for some chicken thighs!

We had a dinner with another couple in this restaurant. It was different from what we were used to. I like the chicken dangling in the skewer and the rice. The taste of their food isnt that great and we have only ever been back once. It took quiet sometime to serve us. The atmosphere is nice and spacious for groups.

Popped in lunch, like I always do when Im in Dunedin and was served by Daniel. Looked like he might have been on his own, had a few other customers besides me. Served everyone promptly and politely. Food was ready quickly, everything was perfect. Very impressed with how nice and quick the service was.Cant say enough about the experience, thanks!
