"Their chicken is above average. Well done but still tender. Family meals are also available and the atmosphere is lovely. A shopping mall is also a few steps away making it convenient to eat and then do more shopping."

"This place is halal. Located street facing as a part of the Oceans mall. There is street parking. The decor is well lit and comfortable, but is close to each other for capacity. there is a sink to wash hands but soap not filled and broken paper towel dispenser. When I got there at 19:00 it was not busy, 2 minutes later there was dozens of people in. The service was kind and the service was prompt. There was not wedges or potato salad, which was disappointing but was a nice time out. The prices are on the high side but for the location and Nandos seems on target. Location is great."

"We managed to reserve a long table for our group. The food made was fresh and delicious. To be honest, it was probably the best Nandos I've had in Durban, very similar to what you'd get in London. The service was a bit bad but we were also a really big group. Atmosphere was good but because its quite busy it tends to be noisy."

"I usually don't rate fast food restaurants highly, but my experience at Nando's Oceans Mall deserves special mention. Consistently, this branch delivers a solid 4, even pushing towards 4.5 in my book. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is friendly, even during busy times. They ensure you're attended to promptly. The food quality is top-notch; every time I've dined here, the ingredients are fresh, and the meals are fantastic. It's a pleasure to keep coming back to this particular branch, especially when compared to others, which don't quite measure up. The location itself adds to the experience, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. However, the one downside is the neighboring club, Brown Sugar. If you're planning to dine after 7 PM, be prepared for the heavy bass from their subwoofers, which can be quite disruptive if you're looking for a quiet evening. Despite that, the Nando's experience here remains very satisfying, and it's a branch I highly recommend."
