Nando's, Portuguese restaurant in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, United Kingdom
Nando's is a restaurant serving flame-grilled chicken with peri-peri sauce available in multiple spice levels. Meals come with sides including coleslaw, mashed potatoes, and rice.
The restaurant chain began in 1987 in Johannesburg when Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin acquired a Portuguese-Mozambican takeaway called Chickenland. This founding led to the establishment becoming a major international brand.
The establishment features the Rooster of Barcelos as its symbol, referencing a Portuguese legend about faith and justice through this national emblem. The decor tells this story and creates a tangible link to Portuguese tradition for those dining here.
The restaurant stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, closing at 11:30 PM Sunday through Thursday. These extended weekend hours make it suitable for late evening dining.
This location holds the largest collection of South African art in the United Kingdom, with original works commissioned specifically for each restaurant site. The wall displays create a distinct visual character for each venue.
