Nando’s PERi-PERi is the heart & soul of Nando’s
Nando’s Peri-Peri has been around since 1987 when it was founded by two brothers who wanted to bring their favourite dish to South Africa. It became an instant hit as soon as they opened up shop on Long Street in Cape Town. The restaurant quickly grew into one of the most popular restaurants in the country and today there are more than 1 000 branches around the world.
The name ‘peri-peri chicken’ comes from the Portuguese word periquinho which means little bird or young rooster. This refers to a small red coloured gamebird that can be found throughout southern Europe. In Portugal this bird is known for its delicious taste and tender meat.
In fact, peri-peri chicken is so famous that many people believe it originated in Portugal! But actually, it came about because of the popularity of the original recipe with locals in Mozambique where it was first introduced.
