Nando’s PERi-PERi chicken restaurant now open at Seef mall

Manama 

The tongue-tantalising story of Nando’s, started in the small Johannesburg suburb of Rosettenville in South Africa in 1987, when 27-year old Robbie Brozin was invited by his good friend Fernando Duarte to a small Portuguese restaurant called Chickenland so that he could taste their flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken.

Brozin was smitten. “I knew nothing about the food business, I just knew that it was the best chicken I had ever tasted,”he says. 

The two were so impressed with the taste that they decided to buy the restaurant – and change the way theworld thinks about chicken too.

Although that “love at first taste” has turned into one of the world’s leading, emerging fast casualrestaurant brands, the spirit of that humble eatery in Rosettenville still remains today.

The fire and passion of Nando’s soon spread to all corners of the globe.

It was no coincidence that the Barcelos Cockerel was chosen as the symbol to identify Nando’s around the world. Like the Portuguese explorers of yesteryear, Nando’s believes in the legend of Barcelos Cockerel and its association with faith, justice and good luck. But it was not just good luck that would help spread the Nando’s flame – it is the good people that Nando’s attractedalong the way that made it all possible (not forgetting the exceptional PERi-PERi Chicken that everyone loves).

Nando’s PERi-PERi chicken restaurant is now open at Seef Mall, Seef District-first floor Near to Magic Island.
