Nando's

Nando's is a known quantity. You know the peri peri chicken, you know the sauces, you know the format. The halal option here is appreciated, and the food is decent. The main gripe is portion sizes — you don't always feel like you got your money's worth. But for the peri peri experience, it's solid.

Halal status: Nando's states all its Ontario restaurants serve halal chicken. However, some GTA locations are licensed and serve beer and wine, which is why we list this as halal options rather than fully halal — if an alcohol-free room matters to you, confirm with this location directly.

What to Order

The peri peri chicken — pick your heat and your cut. The sides like coleslaw and corn round out the meal well.

Must Try

Half chicken with a side or two — that's the classic Nando's order.

Our take from the visit

You get what you pay for, and you know exactly what Nando's is. Good for halal peri peri chicken in a familiar, consistent environment. Portion sizes could be more generous, but the flavour is reliably good.
