1956gooner My experience here was a welcome surprise. Both the food and service were excellent. For starters I had the prawn puri (£6.95), the prawns were cooked perfectly, nice and soft. For mains I had Goan green chicken curry (£11.95), on the sweeter and milder side but delicious. Accompanied by special fried rice (£4.95) and a dryish saag bhaji (£4.95). All washed down with a double whisky (£9.50 ish). A restaurant I will return to.

Ankit Kailaswar Nando’s Wood Green offers a familiar, casual dining experience with a few ups and downs. Located in a small complex near Wood Green tube station, it’s easy to spot and fairly accessible. According to locals, this branch is halal, which helps broaden its appeal. Inside, the space is modest and can feel cramped when busy. Some reviews mention that the place is “quite small” for a Nando’s and could benefit from more room. The layout is typical: counter ordering up front, seating in the dining area, with décor reflecting the brand’s signature look. Cleanliness is generally acceptable. Service is one of the stronger aspects. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful. Many reviews praise how quickly orders are handled. However, there are occasional negative comments about undercooked food, soggy sides, or poor beverage quality when ordering via apps or delivery. Some customers also report inconsistent portion sizes and occasionally rude staff experiences. In terms of food, what you expect from a Nando’s is mostly delivered: grilled chicken with peri-peri seasoning, sides, and their signature sauces. Many guests consider the food “well prepared.” But there are mixed reports: some say the chicken was undercooked, and some sides (like chips) were soggy. Overall, Nando’s Wood Green is a solid choice for a quick, reliably familiar meal. If you go during non-peak hours, you’ll likely get better comfort, more space, and smoother service.

Madison Ross A very quiet and lovely place to go in the morning. Im sure things get much livelier at night, but for a breakfast date its perfect! The staff are lovely, polite and accommodating, and happy to help with a few small menu changes when it comes to dietary preferences. I would recommend them to anyone in the area, and will be coming back to try out the lunch and dinner menus soon enough!

Bahar Ali A lovely local café with a great atmosphere and good food. Always feels clean, welcoming, and relaxed — perfect for bringing young children. I enjoyed a scrambled egg on toast with salmon. My toddler described the paste for kids as delicious and they even smashed some avocado for my baby to try. We all enjoyed a bit of the extra chocolatey muffins! One of those places you can genuinely feel comfortable and enjoy your time. Highly recommend.

Martin Cohen OMG.....The locally sourced venison steak was unbelievable! Tender, juicy and unbelievably flavoursome, and a mousse desert to die for. That and the warm and friendly welcome from our server, Shannon who couldnt do enough for us gave us the meal highlight of our weekend away. Shame we live 2 hours away otherwise wed be back all the time. Remarkable value as well...great quality and quantity.

Bulubulu Family run Italian restaurant in North London, authentic feel, Umberto Tozzis Gloria playing in the background while an old Italian couple sitting up front watched the world go by. Amazing food, service hot and quick. Highly recommended.
