Nando’s, a chain of
casual dining restaurants based in South Africa, has opened its third franchise
of Flame Grilled Peri-Peri Chicken restaurant in Connaught Place here Thursday
night.
The Nando’s flame
landed in India in 2010 and since then, the brand has got two franchises in
Delhi including the first Vasant Kunj and second at Gurgaon.
The restaurant is
know for it’s chicken and that is the reason other type of meat or even fish
remains elusive from the menu. The emphasis is on chicken and it can seen when
the dish is served.
The restaurant, which
was started in South Africa in 1987, also keeps health quotient in mind as the
chicken is not fried but grilled.
“Nando’s stand for
chicken and chips and we are not diluting it to come to India. The product is
the same across the world. The popularity has increased immensely with people
getting over fast food and moving towards a healthier choice,” said Deepinder
Singh Batth, CEO, Nando’s Delhi.
With eclectic
interiors done in all-natural shades of wood and Afro music playing in the
background, the restaurant promises to give a glimpse of the African side to
the customers.
The dish not to miss
out is Peri-Peri chicken which happens to be their signature dish. Their
formula is to marinate chicken for 24 hours and grill it with the addition of
various levels of chilli for a spicy style. One can choose from variety of
sauces like lemon and herb, mild, hot and extra hot.
However, vegetarians
need to get gloomy as there is also an array of decent vegetarian dishes too
like Peri-Peri paneer kebabs. The place goes easy on the pocket with fairly
priced menu.
“The idea is to
provide a good and filling meal at a good price. Hence we have priced our food
accordingly,” Batth said.
