Nando's Flame-Grilled PERi-PERi Chicken tantalizes tastebuds from London to Leeds, Bristol to Brighton. Here in UK the flames of Nando's are spreading like wild fire. But even as we grow, our aim is not to be another chain of restaurants. We want each Nando's restaurant to be individual reflecting the local characteristics of each area. Visit some of our restaurants and you will see that although they serve the same great chicken, each one has something unique. This includes 57 restaurants that serve halal chicken. We are known for our PERi-PERi chicken, which has a truly unique taste. Fresh, never frozen, A-grade chickens are butterfly-cut and immediately marinated in the top-secret Nando's marinade for a full 24 hours to ensure that the flavour penetrates right through the meat. The chicken is flame-grilled right in front of you and basted thoroughly in your choice of sauce: Lemon & Herb for the not so brave, Medium PERi-PERi for the slightly more adventurous and Hot or Extra Hot PERi-PERi for the real daredevils. Flame-grilling the chicken means that half the fat of the chicken literally disappears in the process, and the result - the finest tasting chicken in the world.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. Not all Nando's outlets offer halal chicken, but the outlets listed here have been known to do so. Please check with the individual outlet first.

Genuinely one of the worst managed Nandos in the country. I used to go to Nandos maybe 4 times a month. Now about 1-2 times a month. There is never a time you go to this Nandos and everything just works. They have either run out of straws, or their drinks machine isn’t working, or there is no chicken. Or the chicken is burnt because the grillers maybe forgot the f chicken it already steam cooked before it ever hits the grill. Needs to be on the grill only a couple of mins for grill lines. Sauce added and grilled a min then taken off. Sometimes utensils are missing or no tissues entirely. Have their management team not been trained in procurement and quality assessment? It’s frankly embarrassing to get chicken and chips this wrong. Consistently. The last straw for me were these sad over fried chips. They had run out of chicken the last 3 times I visited for instance, at a reasonable time too not late in the evening. The thing is there was a time where the value proposition was ok. Now with a refillable drink coming in at £4.25 for something I know costs about £0.20 per portion is beyond criminal. I encourage you to be more demanding with the staff. Send more food back unless it’s perfect and worthy of the price they are charging for basic chicken and chips. In 2016 an average half chicken with 2 sides and a drink was about £12.95, today it’s coming in at £19.45 a 50% increase. Do you feel the service or food has increased in quality by even 10% let alone 50%? It’s only got worse. The chicken is noticeably smaller the food and service is worse. I’d rather avoid going now or visit the Preston branch that has better availability and service if I do go. Clean up your act. It’s unacceptable for the price you’re charging and I encourage all of you to up your pressure on the brand and staff to be better for the price it’s at now. You want to charge more? Great. We expect more in return. It’s only fair.
