From South Africa to Washington, DC – Nando’s Peri-Peri


If you love grilled Chicken and corn, Nando’s Peri-Peri: Home of the Original Peri-Peri Sauces is the place. They refer to it as grilled PERi-PERi Chicken.

I, first discovered the place when I used to live in London in 2003. I was so surprised to find them here in D.C. Their China town branch opened less than 2 years ago. But, their Dupont Circle branch just about 6 month ago. Their food is fantastic and very affordable. I attended their opening. Eat like a pig for free with a few friends :-)

The Chain was born in late 80’s in South Africa, They are in about 34 countries on five continents around the world. Their Chickens are fresh and not frozen, marinated for 24 hours in their PERi-PERi sauce. They grill it over an open flame to reduce fat content.

You can choose your heat — there are many ways to enjoy their chicken. Whether it be flame-grilled to order or as a breast fillet in a Portuguese roll, toasted pitta or wrap, you get to choose the baste to your own taste, whether that be lemon & herb for the less spicy option, medium for the more adventurous or hot and extra hot for the real daredevils!

As part of a well balanced diet it’s just as tasty as on a reckless uncontrolled binge! Flame-grilling the chicken means it loses lots of its fat. Their menu provides a varied choice of healthy and super delicious options which makes eating out healthily easy.

There are also plenty of alternatives to chicken. They offer steak Sandwich, Portobello Mushroom & Halloumi Cheese, Chicken Livers, Veggie Burgers & Pittas , and Wide Range of Salads.

Here is their Ad in Australian TV which I am sure it is band here in America. It is HOT!!! Nando’s Double Breasted Burgers

Here are a few pics of their food:
