Nando's is a casual dining restaurant originating from South Africa with a Portuguese & Muzambican theme. I visited Nando's, church street, Bangalore to sample some of their dishes.
Peri-Peri is the core differentiator of Nando's. Almost all the dishes here are flavored using the peri-peri sauce. Nando's peri-peri sauce is made from African bird's eye chili and the recipe is a closely guarded secret...
The Altogether Now appetizer has Spicy Mixed Olives, Roasted veg dip, warm pita and Hummus. Hummus with a drizzle of peri-peri sauce was my favorite...
We could choose extra hot, hot, mild or lemon & herb peri-peri. I sampled all of them in the 9 Chicken wings...
Chicken Livers and Portuguese Roll...
Espetada Rustica is served on a skewer holder and comes with side dishes of your choice. In this case, fries, spicy rice and corn-on-cob. The taste is as special as the presentation...
Corn off cob is easier to eat...
Cataplana (also the name of the copper utensil) comes with peri peri chicken on a bed of spicy rice, bell pepper and chickpeas...
Nothing is complete without eating the Butterfly Chicken Breast meal. The Butterfly Chicken Breast is a unique A-grade, trimmed off excess fat, 24 hours marinated, flame grilled chicken served in your choice of PERi-PERi flavors. The portion of chicken is butterflied and off the bone. This distinctive flame grilled double breasted delight is served with Crispy Wedges, Fresh side salad and a Refreshing Designer Drink...
The designer drinks - Citrus Bliss and Madeira Red...
Creamy cheese cake - Dense baked cheese cake with real cream cheese and crunchy biscuit crumbs...
Even with so much crowd, the staff was very attentive and quick...
Great images, the salad with chicken especially looks brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI am in for the desserts. They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks delicious!

ReplyDeletewhat a feast! Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
It all looks so good. I don't think I'd have room for dessert after all that delicious savory fair.
ReplyDeleteYum! Looks all so delicious! Did you eat all of that?
ReplyDeleteThis spread is suggested for 2-3 people to share. Sampling each dish was a massive fill up.
DeleteYummy! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteGosh I don't eat chicken but even I'll admit that looks great and I bet it tastes fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks wonderful. I never heard of peri-peri sauce before. I lived in Brazil for a while, so if it has any Portuguese roots, I might have eaten it but perhaps it was called something else there.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try it, but I recently had a bleeding ulcer and I'm off spicy foods for a while. I looked it up and noticed it's on sale at Amazon.com ---isn't everything? ---so I might buy some commercially made sauce before attempting to make my own if I can ever eat spicy foods again.
I found your blog at Geometric Friday.
yummy. i tried nando's once when i was in UK...
ReplyDeletecorn off cob is my favorite.
great shots
Looks like a good restaurant, my kids would love it there they like spice. Popping by from Creative Mondays.
ReplyDeleteEvery thing looks delicious. Wonderful photos..
ReplyDeleteGreat food photos. It all looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteNow I am very hungry. I'll pass on the appetizer but one of each of the rest sound good to me! By the way my grand daughter would like to know if they use peanut oil.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
They don't use peanut oil in any of their dishes.
DeleteWow! all that lovely food and wonderfully presented, those photos were crystal clear :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's so cool seeing your picks of Nando's and Peri Peri sauce, real icons of South Africa. We have Peri Peri sauce in our fridge. It looks like they have something good going there in Bangalore.
ReplyDeleteI've tried Nando's before and their sauces are really very tasty but the Chicken is so-so only here in Singapore.
