When people think Nando’s, they think chicken. Proper flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken that’s got a kick (or not, if you play it safe). The place has kinda become the go-to spot for mates hanging out, family dinners, or even quick lunches. They’ve got veggie stuff, halal options in loads of branches, and new bits popping up on the menu every now and then, so you never get bored.
Not in the mood to cook? Nando’s makes it easy—sit down inside, grab a takeaway on the go, or order straight off their site or app and let it come to you. The prices aren’t wild either, especially with the portions they hand out.
And hey, if you’re after something more low-key, ASDA Café does a pretty solid job too. Their dinner menu is cheap, cozy, and actually decent for the price. Check the hours before you go though—you don’t want to rock up hungry and find it shut.

Nando’s PERi-PERi Chicken

- Plain…ish – no real heat, just flavour.
- Lemon & Herb – fresh and zingy.
- Medium – a nice balance.
- Hot – gets you sweating.
- Extra Hot – brave only if you can handle it.

FAQs
Q1. What is Nando’s famous dish?
Hands down, the PERi-PERi chicken. That’s literally what Nando’s is all about. People usually go for the half chicken or the chicken burger with their spice of choice. The Katsu-style stuff? Nah, it’s the flame-grilled chicken that made them big.
Q2. How to make Nando’s cheaper?
Go for sharing platters if you’re with mates—it’s way better value than ordering solo meals. Also, don’t sleep on the loyalty card (Nando’s Rewards). Collect chillies, get free food later. Students sometimes get discounts too.
Q3. How can I get a discount at Nando’s?
Sign up for their app or rewards card—that’s the main one. Some student discount apps like UNiDAYS or Student Beans also throw deals your way. And honestly, keep an eye out for free chicken giveaways—they do them once in a while.
Q4. What is the healthiest meal at Nando’s?
The salads or the grilled chicken without chips drowning in sauce. The Rainbow Bowl is one of the lighter options. If you’re watching calories, avoid the creamy sides and go for spicy rice or corn on the cob instead.
Q5. Is Nando’s expensive in the UK?
Depends how you order. If you grab a wrap and side, it’s not too bad—around £10-12. But if you start adding extras, drinks, desserts, it climbs quick. Not crazy expensive, but not “cheap eats” either.
