Item Description

Nando's is the home of legendary, flame-grilled, Mozambican-Portuguese chicken.

A "Full Platter" includes a whole chicken and two large sides, enough food for 2-3 people. Our chickens are marinated for 24 hours and then flame-grilled in front of you, while being basted in your choice of flavor.

In addition to the Silver Spring Nando's (on Ellsworth), there are Nando locations in DC, Annapolis, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Gambrills, National Harbor, Arlington and Alexandria.

Everything we do is
rooted in PERi-PERi!!

It's a Pepper

PERi-PERi, also known as the African Bird’s Eye Chilli, is the key to our legendary, flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. It’s grown in the African soil, so the magic starts from the ground up. It tastes amazing, but the benefits don’t stop there:
PERi-PERi chilli seeds are rich in Vitamins A, B, and C.
They also have capsaicin, which enhances mood: your pupils dilate, your metabolic rate increases, and there’s a rush of endorphins when you consume it!
PERi-PERi is a natural preservative that prevents us from adding weird or unnatural ingredients to our sauces.

It's a Sauce

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 and serve it at our restaurants across the globe. PERi-PERi sauce combines unmistakable flavor with a kick of heat that gently builds on the tongue and culminates in a full-body experience. It’s magic in a bottle.

It Comes From Mozambique

Nando’s originated in South Africa, but we grow our PERi-PERi throughout Southern Africa—especially in Mozambique. Responsibility is core to our business, so we choose to empower more than 1,400 farmers by growing our own PERi-PERi across nearly 500 acres in the region. PERi-PERi is an important part of Mozambique’s history, as the sauce reflects the blend of cultures present in the country for centuries. PERi-PERi chicken eventually made its way across the border to South Africa, but it all started in Mozambique.
