Americans try Nando's for the FIRST TIME

Today we are trying Nando's PERi-PERi Chicken for the very first time, including some of the sauces, chicken, and sides like chips with PERi-PERi salt and Nando's Portuguese Spicy Rice. It's our first time ever trying Nando's, which is very popular in the UK. We recently learned that we have a few locations in the US, so we stopped at one. If you have any recommendations for what we should try in the future, please let us know!

I’m not sure if you have been told already but I work for nandos in the UK and we aren’t actually affiliated with the US version. Hence why it is called Nandos Peri Peri in the US and just Nandos in the UK. Ingredients are similar but different over in the US and you just have to try the UK version for the real authentic cheeky Nandos 😍 also the bottled sauces in the shops are created by food teams for shelf life and are not as tasty as the help yourself bottles we have when you get dine in - again worth re-trying every bottle when you get to dine in the UK 😍 my favourite sauce for dine in is the peri vusa! It’s comes in a smaller bottle to help yourself and is bright orange in colour! It’s one of our spiciest but also so much flavour! Please try the vusa on a UK visit!

Look at the Americans trying to cut food with their fork.
Nandos is legendary, glad you like it!

[lukeharper]

I follow a few American reacts channels and notice non seem to have mastered the use of a knife 🍴 🤣 everything’s done with the fork, love the videos especially my home county ones like York and Whitby 👍🏼

Glad you enjoyed Nando’s. Or as we say in the UK ‘Going for a cheeky Nando’s!’ 😉

Not sure if you know but Halloumi is a semi hard cheese normally made from Goat’s and Sheep’s milk. It’s mainly associated with the country Cyprus. Being half Cypriot myself, I was raised on the stuff and pretty biased about how much I love it. 😂

Peas & mint is a classic taste combo😀 Real mushy peas are not made with crushed garden peas but dried marrowfat peas (dried to preserve them through winter) - very different. Nice video.

You have mentioned in other videos how UK viewers think you use a knife and fork oddly. Since then I have made an effort to watch you use cutlery. In some videos your method reminds we of the way my children use them, as in it is not yet an ingrained skill that they do not have to concentrate on. This video I noticed you cutting chicken with a fork even though it was clearly difficult and took two attempts. Fascinating 🤣

I’m from london ❤️
My fave Nando’s order is medium butterfly chicken. Peri salted chips. Spicy rice and some halloumi. So good 🍗

Just discovered your channel a few days ago and we are loving watching through your videos. You guys are awesome. Keep it up!

Love this vid! I am from South Africa, so my experience will be different but one of my fav Nando's sauces here that I buy bottled and use on everything is Mozambican Paprika which is a smoked Peri- Peri sauce with lots of flavour in it and one of my fav local dishes here definitely I get the most is Spicy Rice with Chicken Strips and Roasted Veg on top (added Feta Cheese and Pineapple as extra) and their food is wonderful for someone like me.

My go-to is 1/2 a chicken medium spice, chips with peri peri salt, and corn on the cob as a side. Here in the UK, you can buy all the Nando's sauces etc at the supermarket. My cupboard is always well stocked. Home made Nando's is great!

[kitkatie]

Now I’m craving a Nando’s ha! Glad you enjoyed it, it all looks pretty similar to the UK except we don’t have those fancy lemonades which is a shame as they sound delicious.
My go to order is a mango and lime wrap with halloumi and pineapple (potentially controversial with the pineapple) with a side of corn 😊

[sharij]

I didn’t know Nando’s had locations here! I used to eat there while living in England and now I miss it. Great video, friends!

You should have tried their Chicken Livers Peri Peri and Portuguese roll. That one is my favourite.

[AViewFromTheMiddle]

I love finding those new things you want to put on everything. I finally broke down and tried Irish butter recently, and I would weigh 500 pounds if I lived in Ireland because I would be putting butter on everything. The food looked great. I think I have heard of Nando's. It's the Peri-Peri chicken that really rings a bell, but I have never been to one.

[Imreadingthisaloud]

Half chicken is the way to go. Medium spice, rice and macho peas!

[iSquidgy]

You too seem so shy but so happy. I really enjoy watching your videos. I enjoy your enthusiasm for things you like.

[seancotter]

Medium chicken thighs with rice and peas! 🤤 I do love a “cheeky” Nandos! Peri peri fries on treat days 😆

[amnril]

Nando’s Half Chicken, hot sauce, fries and either coleslaw or the spicy rice is my go to……bottomless drink and one of their Portuguese Egg custards (forget what they are called)…. All good, decent portions and price. Hello from the UK 👍🙂

[dawndouglas]

Glad you loved Nandos, looks better portions in the states! Hope you guts are having fun? Thanks for your regular updates. Come to the UK 😊😉👍xxxx

I visit Nando's a few times on every visit I make to the UK which is once or twice a year. I use up every minute of the 6 months of each year the UK allows Americans to stay. During Covid I got stuck there because either the UK was locked down or the country I live in was locked down or travel was restricted so I ended up in the Uk for nearly 2 full years. I fell in love with Nando's up in St. Andrews, Scotland in 2015 My go-to is the Half Chicken Extra-Hot with 2 sides, either the Spicy Rice and Corn-on-the-Cob, a double side of Corn-on-the-Cob, or Spicy Rice and Chips (Fries) are used to let you order the Corn-on-the-Cob at your favourite spice level also but now it seems not. I usually get two bottles of Hot Sauce at my table The Black Bottle of Extra-Extra Hot and their supposedly even hotter sauce, Vusa. I use them to dip the chicken and the chips in instead of Ketchup. If they have malt vinegar that will be on the chips too. It's unfortunate that your first visit to a Nando's was during the Covid or post-Covid restrictions. I remember what that was like and yes you had to buy the bottles which for me was no big deal because I buy them anyways.
