Nando's has been spicing things up on the casual dining scene, since first opening in South Africa in 1987, when it brought the taste of its flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken and Afro-Portuguese style of food to the market. Since this time, Nando's operates over 1,000 outlets in 30 countries and continues to spice up dining with its flame-grilled PERi PERi chicken which is served in quarters, halves, wholes, and butterfly breasts. Nando's also serves burgers, pitas, salads, wings and wraps, chicken livers, Espetada (a large stand with a skewer of chicken breast and grilled peppers) and Cataplana (a chicken and rice dish served in a traditional Portuguese copper dish).
