Nando's Peri-Peri

PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird's Eye Chili, is the key to our legendary, South African flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. We mix PERi-PERi with salt, garlic, lemon, onion, oil, and vinegar to make our signature sauce. Then we marinate our chicken in it for 24 hours. You choose the heat!

Try Nandocas' Choice (Peri-Peri chicken breast topped w/ coleslaw b/w 2 slices of garlic bread ). Sandwich comes w/ fries . So yummy!!! I recommend the mango - lime flavor.

The food is amazing! Try the medium chicken , but also dare to try it hot. The flavors are phenomenal and take you back to a simpler, nostalgic era filled with friendly smiles and cheerful laughter.

Alharith

Order any 1/4 chicken with bone it’ll be amazing, I recommend you order paranaense sauce on the side.

My chicken was absolutely amazing with the red bliss potatoes & corn on the cob! sauces are delicious! Homemade chick peas are great too!! Feta salad was yummy too!

Samar Hamdan

You must try this restaurant . Great for chicken lovers! Although it is an african restaurant but the Medetrian salad are exceptional specially with added halomi cheese

Bobby

Decided to try something new and got the Chicken and Baby Kale Salad . It was delicious and had the yummy famous chicken #cleaneats

The frozen yogurt only comes in chocolate ...and it is amazing. Think Wendy's Frosty...just a bit more decadent in flavor. Get the fries ...seasoned to perfection-not too salty. Yummy cheap eats!

Keely Carrigan

Note that this is partially a self-serve place. Be seated by the hostess , then order for yourself at the counter. Grab your own utensils and dressings , then sit and wait for your food. Hope this helps

Tori Metzger

The fries and perinaise are the best. The chicken breast sandwich is also a really good alternative to just getting the chicken

Samar Hamdan

Great costumer service, they forgot to give me my french fries with my online pick up order once but after i told them i got a voucher for a free meal. I was so happy :)

JonElle L.

The chips w Peri-naise mayo ?! The sure shot! Oh and the chocolate spoon cake . Yum! Oh and the sangria too! Sangria Happy Hour until 6p.

Martina

Try the veggie burger with fries and a side salad . A very satisfying vegetarian meal . -M

Was told today they now only offer a military discount if you're in uniform. So...effectively the clothes you're wearing determine your price. Weird. Won't come here as often.

Sarah O

The sheer variety of soda flavors is amazing! Something for everyone for sure!

Rotimi A. Williams

I'm quite partial to mango lime on my 1/2 chicken . Smashed peas and rice round out a solid dinner .

Lizz C.

If you like spicy food but don't know whether to get medium or hot try the Hot! Makes me sweat and is sooo delicious!

Nicolas Pratt

The best meal consists of: 5 medium wings , Portuguese medley and garlic bread .

Katie Pirolt

Lots of healthy options ! Try the mango ice tea & chicken breast pita . Nutritional info is avail on their website.

Kristin

Try the mashed potatoes or their "chips " french fries . Unbelievable! Great prices for a ton of food.

OMAR Mukharesh

OMAR Mukharesh

A must try hot dishes

Rebecca Neal

Great food, horrible layout and ordering system. Come prepared.

Dolores Gomez

Sit by window, watch ice skaters & enjoy a Sagres

Rebecca M.

Urgh... I never get the ordering process down...why do I get seated only to get back up to order? Not a full service or fast food restaurant ...instead it's a frustrating hybrid. Good fries , though.

Maggie MacG

Love the greek chicken salad .

Pablo Aramburu

Olives, livers and mashed !

Adria Holder

Half priced sangria 4 to 6 and its good!

Natalie Rigoglioso

Get the peri-peri drizzle.

Michael Mulcahy

The seating here is horrible. Some comfortable seating would be nice after a long day.

Smiley

Livers chicken

Деси Слава

Big disappointment. Chicken is ok. I think El Pollo Rico is much better taste and money wise.

Eric Breese

Try the chicken .

Ivan Racadag

The bathrooms are pimp!

Rayed ????

احلا شي عندهم (thigh skewers) ... أو نص دجاجة ...المطعم رائع..

Lidianne Salvatierra

Se tivesse feijão seria perfeito. Galinha assada com gosto de galinha assada ( comida sem sabor do que vc tá comendo é especialidade dos EUA). Sem suco natural :/

Cesar Pazinatto

Médio. Não voltaria apesar da simpatia dos funcionários
