T
he Nandos PERi PERi story began in the 15th Century, in the rich soils and intense heat of South Africa. Many centuries ago, our Portuguese forefathers set sail for new lands, and after months on the high seas they were called ashore by the winds of East Africa. Here they were introduced to the fiery little African Birds Eye Chilli which we now know as PERi PERi. A spice like no other, it put fire in their bellies and ignited passion in their hearts. To this chilli, they added a handful of herbs, a squeeze of fresh lemon and a touch of garlic. Their love for life, friends, fun and

good food created the first great taste of PERi PERi sauce, and today the inspiration for our restaurants. Nandos own PERi PERi recipe remains a closelyguarded secret, but its no secret that we give each of our guests the same great PERi PERi taste and tradition of great hospitality. Whether its flame-grilled to order, as a breast filet in a Portuguese bun, pita or wrap whether seasoned with lemon and herb for the less spicy, medium for the more adventurous, or hot and extra hot for those with savvy reckless bravado you always get to choose the baste for your own taste.
