Nando's
Nando's is a casual restaurant located on the high street of Kingston upon Thames that specializes in flame-grilled chicken dishes. The kitchen uses a 24-hour marinating process with PERi-PERi sauce made from fresh herbs, spices, and chilis, while offering diners a choice of heat levels from mild to extra hot.
The restaurant began in South Africa during the 1980s and expanded into an international chain known for blending Portuguese and Southern African cooking methods. This combination of two culinary traditions established the foundation for what the brand offers worldwide today.
The name Nando's reflects its Portuguese and Southern African culinary roots, which visitors experience through the distinctive spice blends and flame-grilling method. The casual atmosphere here encourages people to gather and share meals together, creating a relaxed social space where groups of friends and families enjoy food without formality.
The location on the high street makes it easy to reach and accessible with wheelchair access and baby changing facilities available. You can dine in, take food away, or have it delivered, and the restaurant offers free Wi-Fi for customers who want to stay connected.
The meat is continuously basted during grilling, keeping it moist while allowing spices to penetrate deeply into the flesh. This hands-on technique is a craft that kitchen staff practice daily, and it noticeably affects the final taste and texture of the chicken.
