Nando’s is one of the world’s largest chicken chains. It originated in South Africa and grew in popularity.
Soon, it started opening up worldwide and is now known and loved for its specialty: grilled chicken and the signature spicy, tangy, and flavorful Peri-Peri Sauce.
The chain has spread all over the world, almost all of Africa, in major cities of Asia and the Middle East, and scattered around Europe and the US.
They must be doing something right! Is it the food? The prices? The ambiance?
Well, it’s the combination of all these things that the chain has seen such growth and prosperity.
Let’s look at what they offer on their menu. First up is their signature Peri-Peri Chicken.
You can order it in any form: thighs, legs, breasts, boneless, wings, on a skewer, and even livers!
The chicken (or its livers) is thoroughly seasoned with their sauce and is cooked to juicy and tender perfection.
Next up are their Sandwiches, Wraps, and Pitas. These too, contain their signature chicken, and yet taste different because of the various combinations of toppings.
Nando’s also serves Platters that are of every size. They also have Salad Bowls that have fresh vegetables along with the chicken.
Nando’s also features appetizers under the menu section Snacks and Shareables. You can add a side or two to your main dishes.
There’s an abundance of choices: chips, sauces, corn on the cob, Portuguese rice, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, macho peas, coleslaw, salads, charred sweet potatoes, and many, many more.
They also have a menu called Nandinos, which features kid-friendly meals like grilled cheese and chicken drumsticks.
Nando’s menu also includes soft and hard drinks, and of course, desserts that feature classics like their raspberry cheesecake, carrot cake, and naughty natas. To organize a backyard party, choose Nandos Catering.
