Nando's, Chicken restaurant in Glasgow City, Great Britain
Nando's is a chicken restaurant in central Glasgow serving flame-grilled poultry prepared with Portuguese techniques and a range of peri-peri sauce options at different heat levels. The menu centers on this grilled bird paired with various sides and accompaniments tailored to different preferences.
The brand started in Johannesburg in 1987 when Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin converted a local takeaway into their inaugural establishment. This foundation led to a wider expansion that eventually brought the concept to many countries worldwide.
South African artwork decorates the space, reflecting the brand's ties to where it began. These pieces give the restaurant a distinct character that connects diners to the wider story of its origins.
The restaurant welcomes both walk-in customers and those with advance reservations, operating from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Visiting during quieter daytime hours helps avoid crowds, though booking ahead is wise if you prefer a guaranteed table during evening rushes.
The chicken undergoes a 24-hour marinade in peri-peri sauce before grilling, following Portuguese-Mozambican traditions that most diners never notice. This extended preparation time is what gives the meat its distinctive flavor that sets it apart from other grilled poultry.
