Nando's Tokai Drive Thru, Chicken restaurant at Tokai Junction, Cape Town, South Africa.
Nando's Tokai Drive Thru is a chicken restaurant on Main Road in Tokai that serves flame-grilled chicken with peri-peri sauce, offering both sit-down dining and drive-through service. The location has an indoor seating area for those who want to eat on site and a separate drive lane for customers who prefer to take their meal away.
The restaurant continues the tradition that started in 1987 with the first location in Johannesburg under Robert Brozin and Fernando Duarte. Since then, the concept has expanded across South Africa and become a well-known restaurant chain.
The place brings together South African and Portuguese cooking traditions through local spices and techniques that you notice in every chicken dish served. The way meals are prepared here reflects a real connection between these two food cultures.
The place is located at Tokai Junction and easy to reach, with options for both drive-through and sit-down dining. You can look around and choose the format that works best for you depending on whether you want a quick meal or prefer to stay longer.
The chicken is marinated for 24 hours before grilling in a blend of African bird's eye chili, herbs, garlic, and lemon juice. This long process gives the meat its distinctive taste and makes it particularly tender.
