History of Nando’s Islamabad

Nando’s was founded in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1987. The restaurant chain quickly became popular for its flame-grilled peri-peri chicken, and opened its first international location in 1992 in Ealing, London.

Today, Nando’s has over 1,000 restaurants in 35 countries around the world, including a branch in the heart of Islamabad. It is located in the buzzing and popular F-6 markaz Islamabad

 

Signature Dishes

 

 

Nando’s Islamabad is famous for its peri-peri chicken, which is marinated for 24 hours in a blend of herbs and spices before being grilled to perfection. The chicken is served on or off the bone, and diners can choose from a variety of cuts, including a quarter chicken, half chicken, or a full chicken.

One of the restaurant’s most popular dishes is the chicken butterfly, a succulent double chicken breast with crispy skin that is served on a bed of spicy rice. The espetada – flame-grilled chicken thighs skewered between layers of fresh peppers – is also a favourite among regulars.

For those who love wings, the restaurant has a variety of options to choose from. The wings roulette is a fun and adventurous option, with ten full, juicy chicken wings in a variety of surprise flavours. Alternatively, you can opt for five full chicken wings in your choice of peri-peri flavour.

 

Sides and Sharing Platters

 

 

In addition to its signature chicken dishes, this famous restaurant offers a variety of sides and sharing platters to accompany your meal. Regular sides include peri-peri fries, garlic bread, and corn on the cob, while premium sides like spicy rice and macho peas are also available.

If you’re looking to share your meal with friends or family, there are a range of sharing platters to choose from. The Full Chicken Platter comes with your choice of two, four, or six regular sides, while the No Bones Platter includes a chicken butterfly and espetada, along with four regular sides.
