The PERi-PERi Chicken Menu

The heart of the Nando's experience lies in its flame-grilled chicken, but the menu extends far beyond the classic bird. Every dish is infused with the unique, spicy-tangy flavor of the African Bird's Eye Chilli, known as PERi-PERi. This ingredient is sourced from Southern Africa and forms the backbone of the restaurant's renowned sauces and bastes.

The kitchen produces a wide range of crowd-pleasers, from quarter, half, and whole chickens to innovative burgers, wraps, and salads. For those who want a feast, the platters combine generous portions of chicken with a selection of regular or spicy sides. A dedicated kids' menu ensures even the youngest guests find something to smile about, while the dessert menu offers a sweet conclusion to a fiery meal.
