The tongue-tantalizing story of succulently grilled chicken in lemon and herb or PERi-PERi has become the hottest story in Pakistan. 

With 13 restaurants nationwide divided in 5 restaurants in Karachi, 5 in Lahore, 1 in Islamabad, 1 in Rawalpindi and 1 in Faisalabad, Nando’s has taken the country by storm since its arrival in 2001. This specialty flame-grilled chicken restaurant has people addicted to the taste of PERi-PERi.

One of the most often heard phrases to echo through the corridors of Nando’s is that Nando’s is not just about chicken. It’s never been just about chicken. It is about pride, passion, courage, integrity and family. The Nando’s restaurants have a very casual setting making it the place for a quick business lunch, a lunch with friends or a place to take the family out. For those who like a little fire in their belly, Nando’s serves the best chicken with a touch of spice.

At Nando’s the experience is very personal and the staff at all their restaurants are committed to outstanding service. A great eating place is a place where people look forward to the experience, not just the food. And so, at the heart of Nando’s is one absolute belief: We don’t sell chicken. We sell experiences. Nando’s pride may have arisen from a dream, but the product that comes from that pride is no dream at all. It has been said to be the eighth wonder of the world – the taste that dreams are made of, an experience like no other.

Nando’s in Pakistan belongs to the casual dining category and is therefore different from any fast food franchises. Each restaurant has been uniquely and vibrantly designed and decorated with South African art and artifacts. Nando’s is a place where people can feel relaxed so that they can enjoy their chicken to the fullest.

The increasingly health conscious consumer worldwide is facing the problem of having to choose between the convenience of fast food or the importance of good nutrition, limited cholesterol and saturated fat intake. Not so at Nando’s… at Nando’s you will find yourself enjoying delicious food with a comparably low calorie intake. We understand that people have the need to eat at a home away from home and that’s the environment that you find at any of the Nando’s stores. In addition, hygiene and cleanliness in the restaurants are of utmost importance and a complete operating manual of audits and practices is in place as mandatory by the franchiser to guarantee a healthful experience every time.

The secret ingredient used at Nando’s- the Bird’s Eye chili, PERi-PERi a fiery ingredient, with a blend of herbs and spices serves great many health benefits. Not only is it rich in vitamin C, it is an excellent purifying agent, provides a natural high by releasing endorphins and a tremendous source of vitamin A, folic acid and potassium. The secret marinade that gives Nando’s chicken its delicious flavor (marinated for 24 hours) is made from real and natural ingredients including our famous PERi-PERi chilies. The chickens at Nando’s are the leanest chickens in town and with the flame grilling technique the chickens lose the rest of their fat during the grilling.
