According to recent reporting in Eater, Nando’s PERi-PERi, the renowned South African restaurant famous for its flavorful flame-grilled chicken, is expanding to Austin.
Slated to open at 1825 McBee St, the 2,500-square-foot space will become the brand’s first Austin.
“Nando’s menu makes use of piri piri (which is also spelled out as “peri peri” and also known as African Bird’s Eye chiles) in a marinade for its chicken. There are whole chickens, wings, thighs, legs, livers, and boneless breasts. And then the meats can be used in salads, wraps, bowls, and sandwiches. Sides include honey sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, chips (aka fries), mashed potatoes, hummus, and halloumi cheese sticks.”
“Desserts include Portuguese custard tarts, raspberry cheesecakes, carrot cakes, and more. For drinks, there are alcoholic sangrias and lemonades, beers, and wines, as well as canned sodas and the such,” Eater states.
The restaurant will open sometime in November.
