Nandos

A few hundred years later (in 1987 to be exact), it was the same PERi-PERi sauce that inspired Fernando Duarte to invite his friend Robbie Brozin to a humble Portuguese eatery in the heart of Rosettenville, South Africa to try some mouth-watering PERi-PERi marinated and basted chicken.

It wasn’t just the best chicken Robbie had ever tasted; it was love at first bite!

The success of the business in South Africa led to it spreading its wings and opening the very first franchise in Zimbabwe. Today Zimbabwe boasts of 11 Nando’s restaurants across the country, with over 1137 restaurants open in 23 countries.
