We were born in South Africa, with a blend of Portuguese and British culture along the way. It all started in Mozambique, home of the hot sun, rich soil... and African Bird’s Eye Chillies. Also known as PERi-PERi. Small but mighty, these chillies have been used for centuries in local Mozambiquan cooking. The Portuguese then added a squeeze of lemon and kick of garlic to make the first PERi-PERi sauce. Used on just about anything, they found it was the ultimate baste for flame-grilling spatchcocked chicken. And it wasn’t long before two friends in Johannesburg came to experience the taste of PERi-PERi chicken and Nando’s was born. Fast forward a few years, restaurants and Fino Pittas and today, the Nando’s PERi-PERi you know and love still pays homage to those roots.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. From the management: 'Our halal chicken is authorised by leading Halal Food Authorities. The quality, welfare and health of our chicken is a priority and our UK suppliers follow the strict Red Tractor Farm Assurance Standards. Our halal chickens are pre-stunned to minimise suffering and fear before they're hand-slaughtered. All our halal products are kept separate at our suppliers and in our distribution centres. And our restaurants with halal-friendly options are only allowed to receive chicken from our approved distribution centre. In these restaurants, we only serve chicken that's certified halal. And as we don’t handle any pork ingredients, there’s no chance of cross-contamination'
Score reflects a halal certificate on file.
Nandos offers value for money on their platter meals. Note however that their desserts are not halal after confirmation with the branch manager who showed me the ingredients used in preparation of these including gelatine. Mods please add to other Nandos postings.
I recently visited Nando’s and ordered the Whole Chicken Family Platter along with a variety of sides: chili mash potatoes, piri-piri chips, regular fries, rice, and a fresh salad. For a starter, we chose halloumi sticks. The whole chicken was cooked perfectly…juicy, tender, and full of flavor, with that classic Nando’s peri-peri kick. The chili mash potatoes were creamy and well-seasoned, the piri-piri chips had a nice spicy crunch, and the regular fries were golden and crisp. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the salad was fresh and crisp, adding a light balance to the hearty meal. The only issue was with the halloumi starter, which arrived after our main course was finished. Halloumi is best enjoyed hot and fresh, so getting it at the end slightly disrupted the flow of the meal. Overall, the food quality was excellent, the portions generous, and the flavors spot on. Just a small note for the staff to serve starters on time…it would make the experience even better.
