The Nando’s story started centuries ago, when the Portuguese explorers set sail for the East in search of adventure and the legendary spice route.

The winds of Africa called them ashore and it was there, under the warm sun, in the rich soil that they discovered the African Bird’s Eye Chilli or PERi-PERi.   A spice like no other, they used it to create a unique sauce that put fire in their bellies and ignited passion in their souls.

Peri-Peri is the heart & soul of Nando’s and the secret ingredient behind the Nando’s restaurants worldwide. This marinade if a blend of onion, lemon, garlic and African Bird’s Eye Chill.
