Fun fact from an ex-nandos employee: Extra hot is literally just more of the hot sauce applied when it's on the grill. It's not actually a different sauce or spice level.

I’ve been to the Nandos in Maryland. The chicken is good and I’ve had the livers as well, also good. The thing that I like about Nandos is that it’s marinated and grilled/broiled.

[@armaniquintas]

@@swayfitness5777 Nando's has been in South Africa since the late 1980's and has grown to be almost as popular here as the other big fast food franchises like KFC. The only thing stopping it from being as big as other chicken fast food places like KFC is their price. Nandos is considerably more expensive than KFC, mostly because they are much healthier than KFC, and so KFC has a competitive advantage in that regard. South Africa has a large population of Portuguese that came over in high numbers from Mozambique in the 1970's (when the Mozambican civil war started after they got independence from Portugal) and there are now 3rd and 4th generation Portuguese citizens who grew up in South Africa and our culture is well known in SA, further contributing to Nando's popularity. The main difference I can see between Nando's in SA and the UK is that here it's fast food chain. It's fancier and a bit more upmarket than a typical fast food restaurant but fast food nonetheless. In the UK it seems to be more of typical sit down restaurant kind of experience. But believe me when we say it's highly appreciated here. It's become a big part of SA culture even though it's roots are Portuguese/Mozambican in origin.

Nando’s is South African in origin but it sells Mozambiquan food. And as a dual citizen Portuguese South African, most of the things on the UK/US menu are neither Portuguese nor Mozambiquan. They still sound delicious. I’d love to try them. But they’re not authentic. They just pour peri peri over random dishes and it’s “Mozambiquan styled” whatever. South African Nando’s is more authentically Mozambiquan. If they weren’t, the large Portuguese/Mozambiquan population in SA would call them out on it because we’d know better, hence why our menu is smaller. The US/UK restaurants cater to a more international customer who likely wouldn’t know the difference between authentic Mozambiquan food and a bad copy.
