The expansion comprises a location at Terminal 2 of Mumbai Airport and several shopping malls across the city.

Nando’s India chief executive officer Sameer Bhasin was quoted by Businessoffood.in: “It’s a moment of great pride for us to launch Nando’s into Mumbai, a city that thrives on bold flavours and which has been asking for it for some time now.”

“PERi-PERi – made with African bird eye chilli – is the heart and soul of Nando’s unique flavour, and the perfect match for spice-lovers in Mumbai. This is only the start of an exciting journey in this vibrant city, with many more locations to come!”

Nando’s uses natural ingredients in its bastings, marinades and sauces, which are made without artificial flavours or colourants.

The brand offers a customisable dining experience, allowing guests to choose their preferred level of heat and flavour with the range of PERi-PERi options.

Nando’s joint-venture partner in India, K Hospitality Corp executive director Karan Kapur, said: “We’re confident that Mumbai will love Nando’s signature flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, burgers, veggie dishes and more.

“But in true Nando’s style, there is a lot more to it than just the chicken. Our vibrant Afro-Portuguese heritage comes alive in every aspect of the guest experience. From Southern African inspired restaurant design, décor and art, to curated Afro-Luso music, and everything in between.”
