It varies by country. Nando’s is famous for peri-peri chicken, and in the UK a large share of its restaurants are halal-certified, with halal chicken and pork removed. In the US, Nando’s does not operate a halal program, so US locations are not halal. So the answer depends entirely on the country and the specific restaurant.
HalalVouch presents evidence and does not issue religious rulings — you decide.
The short version
Nando's is country-specific. Many UK restaurants are halal-certified; US restaurants are not.
The UK — largely halal
In the UK, a large share of Nando's restaurants serve halal-certified chicken, with pork removed at those locations. Nando's publishes which UK restaurants are halal, so it is one of the better-known halal options there.
The US — not halal
In the US, Nando's does not run a halal program, and its chicken is conventionally sourced. So US Nando's is not halal.
How to check
Because it is restaurant-specific even within a country, check Nando's own halal restaurant list (in the UK) or confirm with the specific location.
