Sauce Bottles
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 PERinaise Original
Our great tasting and famous PERi-PERi blended mayo that you've learnt to love in our restaurants.
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 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 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 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.

My wife and I were lucky to find this place. The food is tasty and service is excellent. We recommend the spicy chicken Caesar wrap and cold slaw. The staff is very friendly. August and Omar made our visit fun. We will be back. Five stars Nando's PERi-PERi.

Visiting DC and stayed in Ballston. Tried Nando's. Oh my what a great experience. The entire staff was so nice. We really had a good experience with Omar who took our order at the counter and August really stepped up and helped. August brought us our food and went out of his way to make sure everything was right. We enjoyed our conversation with him. Overall awesome staff. Restaurant is extremely clean and everyone working here are eager to help and make your visit...

I visited on my my own during a quiet lunch time on a Sunday and was greeted by Ferdi (perhaps spelt differently my apologies) who was so welcoming and friendly throughout and helpful with what I needed. I wanted to recognise his hospitality. Thank you!
