founder  Nando's Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin

The restaurant was founded in 1987 in the Johannesburg mining suburb Rosettenville when Portuguese-born audio engineer Fernando Duarte took his entrepreneur friend Robert Brozin to a Portuguese takeaway called Chickenland for a meal. After trying the chicken cooked in peri peri, a chilli sauce originating in Mozambique, they bought the restaurant for about 80,000 Rand (equivalent of about £25,000 at the time)

Nando's specializes in chicken dishes with lemon and herb, mango and lime, medium, hot, extra hot or extra extra hot peri-peri marinades (properly known  as Galinha à Africana). in some countries, Nandos has other flavour options such as mediterranean.

History in Malaysia

The Nando’s cockerel landed on the tropical land of Malaysia in 1998 at Jalan Telawi, Bangsar – the 1st Nando’s restaurant in Malaysia officially opened on 29 June 1998. (The restaurant has since been relocated to Bangsar Village 1)

It didn’t take long for the word to get around or for the people of Malaysia to get addicted to spicing things up with a fix of flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken.

Thanks to their passion for PERi-PERi, Nando’s spread across the length and breadth of Malaysia, and today, there are more than 50 Nando’s restaurants serving succulent flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken with Afro-Portuguese inspired side dishes.

Franchisor Management

Mac Chung Lynn, the Group CEO of Nando’s Malaysia and Singapore said, “Due to the success of the brand in Peninsula Malaysia, we feel that it will also be well received in East Malaysia. We have been receiving a lot of feedback from our customers and followers on the Nando’s Facebook and Twitter, requesting for us to open in East Malaysia. This is one of the factors which encouraged us to expand and we feel that now is the best time to enter the East Malaysia market.”

A spicy journey like this isn’t something you do alone and Nando's has grown around the world by choosing partners that reflect our core values, ones that we know will treasure the Nando's brand in the same way that we do. Obviously we also choose partners who have access to financial resources, and who are prepared to put in the long hours that the restaurant industry demands. We will work with individuals or organisations that have an intimate understanding of their markets, and importantly, who surround themselves with a network of passionate and hard-working people.

Most importantly, any prospective franchisee must love Nando's Chicken.
