Nando's flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken has a cult following from Johannesburg to London. We pulled the current Nando's menu prices from our database for its home market, South Africa, where we hold the most complete real pricing and calorie data. All prices below are in South African rand (R).
Note: prices and currency are specific to South Africa. Nando's prices differ significantly in the UK, Australia and other markets — we publish only the real, verified data we hold.
Because Nando's is built around grilled chicken rather than burgers, the full Nando's chicken prices below come with calorie counts wherever we have them, which makes this one of the easier fast-casual menus to plan around if you're watching what you eat.

Understanding the Nando's chicken pricing
The heart of any Nando's order is how much chicken you want and how it's portioned. On its own, a 1/4 Chicken is R75, a 1/2 Chicken is R125 and a Full Chicken is R256 — so size scales roughly in line with portion. The smarter buys are the combos: a 1/4 Chicken + any Single Side is R89, only R14 more than the chicken alone, and a 1/2 Chicken + Single Side is R150. Winglets are the budget entry point, with 6 Regular Winglets at R69 and 10 Regular Winglets at R99. If you'd rather have chicken in a handheld format, the Chicken Burger, Chicken Wrap and Chicken Pita all sit around R100–R109, while the Pulled Chicken Burger with Cheese is the cheapest of the lot at R78.
Sides and sharing platters
Every single side on the menu — from the Nando's Salad to PERi-PERi Chips — is R45, with only Mac 'n Cheese (R51) and the Grilled Chicken Salad (R113) priced differently, which makes mixing and matching simple. For groups, the platters are where the per-person cost drops: a Full Chicken + 3 Sharing Sides is R398, a Full Chicken + 4 Sharing Sides is R431, and the big sharing boards — The More the PERi-er and Hands-on Delicious — top out at R890 each. The Cabo Sosatie Snack Platter sits in between at R480.
Eating light at Nando's
One of Nando's biggest strengths is that flame-grilled chicken is naturally lean. A 1/4 Chicken is just 206 kcal, and the Nando's Salad is only 38 kcal, so a quarter chicken with salad and PERi-Spinach lands well under 350 calories. That makes Nando's one of the better sit-down fast-casual options for anyone counting calories — see more in our best fast food for weight loss guide.

For value, the 1/4 Chicken + a Single Side at R89 is the classic order. Sharing? A Full Chicken + 2 Sharing Sides (R354) feeds a small group.
