Is Nando's Halal in the United Kingdom?

Rechecked www.nandos.co.uk/halal on 16 August 2026: the operator still says the restaurants aren’t Halal as a chain, listed dining rooms serve 100% Halal-certified chicken and do not handle pork, and chicken is authorised by ‘leading Halal Food Authorities’. Named examples still on that live list the same day (not exhaustive): Baker Street; Whitechapel; Birmingham New Street; Manchester Printworks; Cardiff Old Brewery Quarter. Look for the entrance sign. Alcohol at listed dining rooms is not verified here outlet by outlet.

Official listed restaurants only — use nandos.co.uk/halal

Operator claim Alcohol not verified Chicken only Peri-peri

Kitchen notes

Listed restaurants serve 100% Halal-certified chicken and do not handle pork, per Nando’s UK. That is not a full-restaurant Halal certificate and does not document alcohol service per branch. Chicken is pre-stunned then hand-slaughtered per the same page.

Examples present on the official list when fetched (not exhaustive, not a promise they remain listed): Baker Street; Whitechapel; Birmingham New Street; Manchester Printworks; Cardiff Old Brewery Quarter. Re-check the official page before travelling. Look for the entrance sign and supplier certificates.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nando's Halal in the UK?

Some restaurants are. Nando's UK lists the branches serving Halal-certified chicken at nandos.co.uk/halal, and that list is the source to check before you go. It changes, so a branch that was Halal on a past visit is worth re-checking.

Does Nando's serve alcohol at Halal branches?

Nando's restaurants in the UK are licensed, including branches on the Halal list. Whether you eat at a venue that serves alcohol is a separate question from whether the chicken is certified, and it is one the certification does not decide for you.

Is Nando's Halal in the US?

No. Nando's own US FAQ states that none of its US restaurants serve Halal chicken. As with the other chains here, the answer is set by the national operator rather than by the brand.
