We do go there frequently & that is not without reason. It is a franchise restaurant and therefore could be seen as predictable. However the predictability probably revolves around always getting a good mean which is served with a friendly smile. Staff always efficient and well mannered

A Nandos restaurant can rest on its franchise status but on several visits to this one, service is good and food is tarty. Well done.

What is there to say. When did you ever get a bad meal from Nando's? Me? Never. Service may be of differing standards between the restaurant's, but the food never is. Keep it up Nando's.

4. Little Magia Mozambique Restaurant
Reviewed By pierre_fromuk
Authentic, fresh and beautifully prepared food. Good selection of starters. Amazing prawns - butterflyed, grilled and covered in great choice of sauces. Lovely desserts. Attentive staff and a FOH manager who adds an authentic Mozambiquan/Portuguese touch. Just don't expect wine or beer (they're not licenced). Or any ambience or production values in the decor. Just go there to eat and enjoy - and there's an off-licence a few doors down with a fairly decent selection of wines!

Maybe Tim should think about moving to the new "Circle" centre when it opens! I am sure that some people are put off by Invesco Centre. We had another great meal there. The starter pork belly is just a perfect sized meal if you add a delish portion of veg to it. I always feel happy after spending time there. Also love the comp garlic foccacia - thanks!

Olive and Oil is my go-to restaurant for special occasions. I went for my birthday with family. We had 7 different mains, and they were all excellent. We all tasted each otherâs, and it was a challenge to decide the winner. For me the stand out was the prawn pasta with gamberi sauce. The 4 children also had different dishes, and were licking there plates. Service as always was fantastic
