Sauce Bottles
Bottle Sauce XX Hot
We salute you. With eyes streaming and mouth burning, you'll fall for fire that doesn't flinch from flavor. Balanced with PERi-PERi, lemon, garlic, onion and spices, you will be coming back for more.
Bottle PERinaise Hot
Hot PERinaise is the perfect blend of the creaminess of mayonnaise and the spiciness of PERi-PERi.
Bottle Sauce Garlic
Garlic is many things, but it isn't subtle. Just like this sauce, a blend of PERi-PERi with its sweet waves of garlicky goodness. If you're on a first date, pour this on both of your plates. You'll thank us later.
Bottle PERinaise Original
Our great tasting and famous PERi-PERi blended mayo that you've learnt to love in our restaurants.
Bottle Sauce Lemon Herb
Our PERi-PERi sauce is made with African Bird's eye Chilli and a blend of ingredients-onion, sun-ripened lemons, garlic and spices.
Bottle Sauce Medium
This is our gateway sauce: a good dollop of PERi-PERi with spices. For a while, it will be enough. But soon you'll want them all. Just go with it.
Bottle Sauce Hot
If you're after a bite of heat, you've come to the right sauce. Bursting with PERi-PERi, a kick of garlic and lemon, this is how hardcore PERi-PERi fans get caught in the heat of the moment.
Bottle PERinaise Garlic
Our great-tasting and famous PERi-PERi blended mayo that you've learned to love in our restaurants.

My first Nando’s was in 1998 in London. Let me just say it made an impact. We are lucky to have them in Oak Park. Their food prep is fantastic. The sauces are next level and the restaurant and service are really really great. Do yourself a favor have a party here. They also serve beer and wine. It’s next level good chicken. We’re lucky to have them in Oak Park. Insider tip get the olives.

This was my first time at the restaurant accompanied by my friend, also a first time guest. We dined in the restaurant. We each had dietary restrictions and needed guidance in our selections. The manager, Serkan Cetin, stepped in to help us. I selected chicken with medium spice and brussel sprouts, it was delicious. We enjoyed our experience at the restaurant and appreciate the attention provided to us by Serkan.

Yummmmmm!!!
First time here…I was craving chicken wings. These are absolutely delicious. I ordered 12 and ate them all lol I like super hot spicy sauce and theirs was pretty good but not hot enough lol however the chicken was just melting off the bone. It was sooooo good.
The gentleman that greeted us was very accommodating. I did not get his name, unfortunately,
The guy who delivered our food seem to have some sort of disability, and unfortunately,...
