Wouldn't it be great if they were already waiting for us to return home the whole time? Thought of another way, wouldn't it be incredible if you experienced something special while traveling far from home, only to happily cross paths with it once again years in the future? The latter is exactly what happened to @heyhannahchandler. A California native, she embarked on a world wind tour that included a visit to South Africa. She enjoyed her meal at "Nando's PERi-PERi" and likely thought the only souvenir she'd take home with her were her fond memories. Well imagine her surprise when years later she moved to Canada and found a "Nando's" already waiting for her! With a lineage like theirs, "Nando's" is a friend that you really ought to endeavor to stay in touch with. Their dishes are largely based upon the PERi-PERi chilli that was born in Mozambique, spent its influential teenage years being influenced by Portuguese explorers, and later found its home and settled down in Rosettenville, South Africa. And you thought you had an interesting origin story! Although their Afro-Portuguese chicken creations taste already deliciously marinated, you are more than welcome to supplement your meal from a selection of choices at their "spicy chilli sauce bar." However, be for-warned that their Extra Hot PERi-PERi is self-described as, "Like tackling a ferociously fiery dragon." Fear not about wading into these molten waters of entree flavor because you'll be able to successfully douse those flames with an order of either "Naughty Natas" or "Nando's Kisses" from their dessert menu. (Out of an abundance of caution, we ordered both. ) In addition to wonderful food, this place also offers an excellent staff that is attentive and friendly. And that's...Henry's Take. #periperi

The fries were slightly too hard for my soft mouth and there was barely any seasoning on them. Hoping it's a one-time mishap! They're usually crispy and deliciously seasoned with their peri powder.

A combo meal consisting of double chicken legs, one side, and soda is available for $17. Our selections included the veri peri chicken legs combo with Caesar salad and coke; the chicken exhibited a slight spiciness but was fresh, hot, and juicy. The Caesar salad featured a substantial amount of dressing. The super peri chicken legs paired with peri fries and ice tea were also a highlight, with the peri fries being especially flavorful. Furthermore, the chicken Caesar wrap with Caesar salad contained a multitude of tasty ingredients. It is also worth noting that the restaurant provides complimentary refills on soda drinks.

I believe it's a new branch so we are not sure if the service is as good as other Barcelos branches. I must say, this is the best branch of Barcelos when it comes to customer service. We asked about the promos that they do have, and the cashier, which happened to be one of the owners too, went beyond their offer and gave us extra. Food was really great and the owner always updates us about the status of the order. The place very nice and clean too. A very pleasant place to dine in with your family.

I remember when Nandos first landed in Canada…read more It was back in 1994 & it set up shop in Richmond on Aykroyd Rd. I made several pilgrimages there while it remained open. Sadly it closed after a few years. Rest easy, Richmond has several other Nandos locations. In fact Nandos is located throughout Metro Vancouver. The first Canadian location had been open for a few weeks but it took an out of town acquaintance for me to seriously take notice of it. He was freaking out over this Nandos chicken. In fact on the way to the airport for his return home, he made us stop at Nandos. I was like - it's just chicken!? After he left I went & tried it out for the first time. I soon discovered a sensational tasting chicken like none I'd ever had before. Originating out of South Africa, with Portuguese roots, Nandos has taken over the world. It's not uncommon to actually find a local Nandos in most big urban cities worldwide. Nandos, Kerrisdale was originally located on 41st Ave near East Boulevard, but due to a fire (next door) it ended up closing back in 2023. It has now reopened & is still on 41st Ave, about a 200 metres west of its previous location. I had stopped by the old location several times over the years when I was in the area. I've had my chicken (usually leg & thigh hot) & rice or salad, & really enjoy the newer Rainbow Bowl. Nandos chicken is marinated in Peri-Peri chilli peppers for 24 hours. When you place an order, you can pick your spice level - mild, medium or hot. You can even buy a bottle of Peri-Peri sauce to take home. If you're confused about the spice level you'd be comfortable with, just ask the person taking your order for recommendations. Try the Portuguese Tarts for dessert - be warned they're very addictive. I was impressed with the layout & decor of the old location, but let me tell you - the new location has stepped up the design game. Very swanky indeed. Come eat some hearty chicken & check out the new Kerrisdale neighbourhood location, which just opened up in March.

They're very polite and respectful. They treated me very well, and as if they knew that this was my first time here. Since I don't like spicy food at all, I got the lemon and herb spice, which isn't really spicy. It had just enough flavour to taste. My meal took a little bit of time, but the waiter had acknowledged it and apologized for the wait. Nando's is clean, nice wall art work, clean and tidy sauce station, and great customer service. I will come back again!
