Love Nando’s? The Chain Introduces Three Gourmet Burgers Featuring Flame-Grilled Chicken

Nando’s, renowned for its flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken is venturing into new culinary territory with the introduction of three innovative PERi-PERi chicken burgers. These new offerings aim to redefine the burger landscape, blending traditional elements with Nando’s distinctive spicy flair. The lineup includes the Big Bwana Burger, the Peri-Bomba Burger, and the Pesto Boujee Burger, each designed to cater to diverse palates and preferences. By incorporating its famous PERi-PERi chicken into these burgers, Nando’s is setting a new standard in the burger domain, challenging the typical beef and fried chicken paradigms with its bold flavors.

George Kunnappally, Managing Director at Nando’s UAE, emphasized the brand’s commitment to culinary innovation, stating, "At Nando’s, we believe that great flavour transcends tradition. With our new burgers, we're flipping the script on what makes a burger truly special. We've taken the elements people love about Nando’s – our flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, generous portions, and big flavours – and put them into burgers that challenge the status quo." This approach signifies Nando’s intention to shake up the burger market by introducing products that are not only flavorful but also distinctively different from the conventional offerings.

The Big Bwana Burger, drawing inspiration from the Swahili term "Bwana" which translates to "boss," promises a commanding presence in the burger world. It is a fusion of Nando’s flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken thighs, melted cheese, pickles, tomato, red onion, and butter lettuce, all tucked inside a toasted potato bun and finished with PERinaise and garlic aioli. This burger aims to deliver an authoritative and flavorful eating experience.

For those with a penchant for heat, the Peri-Bomba Burger offers an explosive taste sensation. It combines the fiery zest of PERi-PERi chicken thighs with crispy onion rings and the spicy kick of African Bird's Eye chilli. The toasted potato bun, butter lettuce, and smooth cream cheese add layers of flavor and texture to this spicy delight.

The lineup is completed by the Pesto Boujee Burger, which targets those seeking a luxurious and rich flavor profile. This burger pairs the spicy kick of Nando’s PERi-PERi chicken with the sumptuous taste of pesto sauce. It is further enhanced with Nando’s Chili Jam, peppery rocket leaves, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, all served on a toasted potato bun for a truly indulgent burger experience.

By integrating its signature flame-grilled chicken with high-quality ingredients in a soft, lightly toasted potato bun, Nando’s aims to captivate the taste buds of burger enthusiasts. Available in variations featuring chicken thighs or a double chicken breast, these burgers offer flexibility, ensuring that there’s a perfect match for every diner's preference.

Nando’s is making these innovative burgers available across all its UAE locations, inviting everyone from heat seekers to those desiring a bit of indulgence to find their ideal burger match. This launch is not just about expanding the menu but also about reinforcing Nando’s reputation as a trailblazer in the realm of flame-grilled chicken.
