Part of the Nandos chain — see all 100 locationsWe 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.

Very lovely atmosphere, great service, food came super quickly- loaded fries were my fav. Chicken cooked to perfection, all the food was really delicious. Unfortunately the tenderstem broccoli was abit tough- it felt like biting into a rock. The flavour was very nice minus the fact that I felt as though my teeth were going to fall out.
