Nando's, South African restaurant chain in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Nando's is a South African restaurant chain located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The restaurant serves flame-grilled chicken marinated in African peri-peri chili peppers, accompanied by a range of side dishes and signature sauces.
The opening in Riyadh marked the South African chain's expansion into the Middle Eastern market. The establishment adapted its menu and operations to meet local preferences and religious requirements.
The restaurant combines South African cooking traditions with local dining customs by offering halal-certified chicken dishes. Visitors can taste the African spices and how the menu has been adapted for the region in every plate.
The restaurant is located near King Khalid Airport and accommodates both individual diners and large groups. Staff can help guide you through the different marinade intensities and side dish combinations available.
The chicken undergoes a distinctive preparation process using a dedicated marinade room where it sits in peri-peri sauce for 24 hours. This extended infusion time gives the meat its characteristic flavor profile before it reaches the grill.
