Chennai, 30th April: The wait is over! Nando’s, the internationally-loved, flame-grilled, PERi-PERi chicken restaurant has officially landed in Chennai, with its first Casa (the name affectionately given to Nando’s restaurants which means “home” in Portuguese) in Phoenix Marketcity mall!
A South African brand known for its signature PERi-PERi flavour, is bringing its bold taste to the city. After winning hearts in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai and more, Nando’s is now bringing its PERi-PERi to the city that loves spice.
“Chennai has a deep-rooted love for bold, authentic flavours—and we couldn’t think of a better city for our next Casa,” said Sameer Bhasin, CEO of Nando’s India. “The city’s rich culinary heritage, its appreciation for spice, and its sense of community align perfectly with everything Nando’s stands for. Our flame-grilled PERi-PERi chickenis here to add a new kind of spice & flavour to Chennai’s culinary scene. And this is just the beginning—Chennai is a key part of our growth story in India”.
All Nando’s bastings, marinades and sauces are made with fresh, real ingredients and have no artificial flavours or colourants. The chicken is flame-grilled because it just tastes better, and the range of PERi-PERi flavours allow guests to customize their meal to the heat level oftheir choosing all the way to extra hot- for those who can handle the heat.
Every Nando’s Casa is thoughtfully designed to reflect their Afro-Portuguese roots—through bold colours, handcrafted artwork, and Afro-Luso music in the background that brings the soul of Southern Africa to life.
Nando’s will also soon open its second location at Express Avenue Mall, continuing its exciting expansion in Chennai and bringing its unique food and signature taste to even more food lovers across the city.
Nando’s is blazing a trail across India — now serving its iconic flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken in 16 Casas across 7 major cities and is on track to scale up with 12 new Casas set to fire up their grills this year.
