to
the
nearest
Nando’s

And
like
most

it’s
more
or
less
just

of

Now
if
you
aren’t
from
the
UK,
what
is
Nando’s?
Nando’s
is
a
popular
fast-casual
restaurant
chain
originating
in
South
Africa
and
is
known
for
its
Portuguese-African-inspired
flame-grilled
chicken,
seasoned
primarily
with
peri-peri
sauce.
This
spicy,
tangy
sauce
is
made
from
African
bird’s
eye
chili
peppers,
garlic,
lemon,
and
herbs,
giving
Nando’s
chicken
its
distinctive
taste
and
heat.
Diners
typically
choose
their
spice
level:
ranging
from
mild
to
extra-hot
(just
like
the
chilli
used
in
the
map
above)
customizing
their
meal
according
to
their
tolerance
or
preference.
Common
menu
items
include:
-
Flame-grilled
peri-peri
chicken
(half,
quarter,
or
whole
chickens) -
Chicken
burgers
(sandwiches) -
Wraps,
salads,
and
sides
like
peri-peri
fries
(fries
seasoned
with
peri-peri
spice),
rice,
coleslaw,
grilled
corn,
and
spicy
peas.
The
chain
is
notable
for
its
laid-back
atmosphere
and
eclectic
decor
with
African
and
Portuguese
influences,
and
a
reputation
for
being
a
relaxed
spot
popular
with
young
people
and
groups
of
friends.
What
does
“Cheeky
Nando’s”
mean?
The
phrase
“Cheeky
Nando’s”
is
a
distinctly
British
slang
expression
referring
to
casually
heading
to
Nando’s,
often
spontaneously,
usually
with
friends.
The
term
“cheeky”
here
implies
something
mildly
indulgent,
playful,
or
mischievous,
like
doing
something
fun
or
satisfying
on
a
whim.
In
American
terms,
it’s
somewhat
similar
to
saying
“Let’s
grab
a
quick
bite”
or
“a
casual
hangout,”
but
with
a
playful
twist
and
specifically
tied
to
Nando’s.
For
example,
a
typical
use
of
the
phrase:
“Fancy
a
cheeky
Nando’s
tonight?”
Translates
roughly
to
American
English
as:
“Hey,
wanna
grab
a
casual
meal
at
Nando’s
tonight?”
Overall,
a
“cheeky
Nando’s”
is
essentially
a
relaxed,
informal,
and
spontaneous
gathering
with
friends,
enjoying
casual,
flavourful
food
in
a
laid-back
environment.
