Is Nandos a South African brand?
Nando’s started way back in 1987, when the first restaurant opened in Rosettenville in Johannesburg, South Africa. We’ve come a long way since then, but we’ve never forgotten our humble beginnings. So, to remind us of our roots, all our headings are tilted at an 87 degree angle across all of our designs.

What is Nandos most famous for?
Nando’s Chicken
Flame-grilled, juicy, spicy… there’s a reason Nando’s chicken is legendary. Always fresh and never frozen, we marinate our chicken in PERi-PERi for 24 hours before it’s basted. All our sauces, bastes and marinades are made with fresh, real ingredients and have no artificial flavours or colourants.
