It depends on the country. Nando's is famous for its peri-peri chicken. In the UK, a large share of its restaurants are halal-certified, serving halal chicken with pork removed. In the United States, Nando's does not run a halal program, so US locations are not halal. So the answer depends completely on the country and the specific restaurant.

The short answer
Whether Nando's is halal depends on the country. Many restaurants in the UK are halal-certified. Restaurants in the United States are not.
Is Nando's halal in the UK?
Largely, yes. In the UK, a large share of Nando's restaurants serve halal-certified chicken, with pork removed at those locations. Nando's publishes a list of which UK restaurants are halal, so it is one of the better-known halal options there.
Is Nando's halal in the United States?
No. In the United States, Nando's does not run a halal program, and its chicken comes from ordinary suppliers. So Nando's in the US is not halal.
How can you check a Nando's restaurant?
Even within one country, the answer depends on the restaurant. In the UK, check Nando's own list of halal restaurants. Elsewhere, confirm with the specific location.
