"With ingenious delicious food, some of the best service in NI, and a stylish, relaxing atmosphere, there is no way this restaurant should be hidden in any way. I had the sandwich of the Ploughman, and it was huge, filled with taste, and not on ingredients as a vegan option, with a generous serving of vegan cheese. There were also so many vegan options that it was hard to choose, and I wish I was in Derry for more than one day trip so I could eat here again! You have a huge beverage menu with some delicious options that I wish I could have tried. The side salad had what was probably the most tasty salad dressing I've ever eaten: a dill pickle Mayo that sounds strange for a salad, but was so prone that at the end I ordered a salad to take home for dinner so I could eat some more of it. The service was a wonderful cherry on the top: my waitress was warm and friendly, and went over and over with my to-go order, packing everything separately to keep it fresh until consumption, carefully sticky typing the dressings so that they don't spill, and even handwriting me a note about the best way to heat up and the side. It was so sweet. I don't come from a tipping culture and typing isn't the norm in NI, but I'm sure I tipped the way it deserved. The location is centrally located in the city, directly above the main statue and about 5 minutes walk from the town hall and the square. You have well furnished tables so you can have privacy and stay a bit of Covid safe. You have a large wheelchair accessible toilet. I can't recommend it very much."

"Initial thought after looking at the restaurant was, wow.. the setup is very good and the restaurant interior is top class. There was waiting so had to wait in a queue but it cleared up in 15 to 20 min and then we were directed to our table. Now each table has a number and a QR code sticker on it so you need to have a QR Scanner app installed on your mobile and you need to scan the table QR code sticker. Once you scan that sticker it will redirect you to Nandos menu and now you can start adding the items to your virtual basket on the app. When done hit pay and once the payment is successful you will receive the order number for your table and the order details will go directly to the staff and in next 10 minutes you should have your ordered dishes. Experience was quite different, at start didn't feel that comfortable but then I got used to it and ordered 3 different orders in next 30 minutes. Now coming to food, we enjoyed the Vegan food and below were the dishes which we had ordered 2 Houmous with PERi-PERi Drizzle The Great Imitator Burger Garlic Bread Chips NIX and KIX Cucumber Mint They will ask you what Peri-Peri sauces you need and they have 4 to 5 options out of which you can select and they will get it for you (these are complimentary). The Peri-Peri sauce adds the extra taste and kick to the food. The service was fantastic and they kept on checking if we were good and enjoying our food."
