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.
-----
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.
-----

We have a unique relaxed informal service style and atmosphere in our restaurants. You are encouraged to make yourself at home whilst we get on with the important business of grilling and serving chicken.
-----
And remember, our soft drinks and frozen yogurt are bottomless.

-----

We live according to a set of values, which are core to everything we do. These values are pride, passion, courage, integrity and family. They help us to deliver a truly great Nando's experience. We never take ourselves too seriously and our fun approach to life means that you fully relax when you visit Nando's without any airs and graces.

Nando's PERi-PERi Flame-Grilled Chicken could be considered a miracle of life but it didn't fall out of the sky! This natural wonder of the culinary world has much more
of a story behind it. A story that dates back centuries, to
a time when brave men and women (it's true, there were women explorers; they just never got the credit they deserved) set out from Portugal to explore new worlds
and to discover new sea routes to lands of promise.
-----
The explorers were trying to establish a sea route to the East where it was rumoured that many treasures could be found. The explorers realised that they would never make
it around the tip of Africa all the way to the East without a stop-over to replenish and rest for their long journey ahead. They came across a spectacular landing spot in Southern Africa now known as Mozambique. It was there that they established a port. The rich and fertile lands of this sub-tropical region enticed many explorers and their families
to settle far from the cold climes of a congested Europe.
-----
The Portuguese settlement began to flourish and life soon revolved around early evening feasts, with good food, good wine and lots of laughter.

-----

The Portuguese explorers came into contact with African people who introduced them to the African Bird's Eye Chilli. Whether this fiery little chilli was indigenous to Africa or introduced was not certain, but it is certain that the rich and fertile climates were perfect for the Bird's Eye chilli to grow with wild abandon.
-----
The African people called this fiery little chilli, Pili-Pili, which means Pepper-Pepper in the African language of Swahili. The explorers tried in vain to pronounce Pili-Pili but ended up calling it PERi-PERi. The settlers immediately exPERi-PERimented with PERi-PERi in their cooking and because much of life revolved around food, PERi-PERi became an integral part of their lives. The women were
also delighted with the effect that PERi-PERi had on
their men; they were amazed that something so small could be so satisfying. -----
