After trying the chicken, cooked in piri piri, a Portuguese chilli sauce made from a pepper with the same name found in Mozambique, they bought the restaurant for about 80,000 rand ( equivalent of about £ 25,000 at the time ). They renamed the restaurant Nando 's after Fernando 's first born son. After two years, the restaurant had four outlets : three in Johannesburg and one in Portugal. By 2013, around 1,000 Nando 's branches were in 35 countries. In 2010, Advertising Age magazine named Nando 's as one of the world 's top 30 hottest marketing brands. As of July 2014, the Nando 's restaurant group is ultimately owned by South African businessman Dick Enthoven and his family. Enthoven 's son, Robby Enthoven, was responsible for expanding the Nando 's chain in the United Kingdom. Worldwide locations This section needs additional citations for verification.

Nando 's opened its first UK restaurant in 1992 in the west London suburbs of Ealing and Earls Court, initially focusing on takeaway food. The UK arm, owned by the Enthoven family via a private equity company, struggled until chairman Dick Enthoven put his son Robert in control. The focus then moved from takeaways to a mixed service ( counter ordering and table service ) model. Branches also chose individual design and decor to move away from a restaurant - chain image. The company employs around 8,000 staff in the UK and, as of 2013, had over 280 branches in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, with some 60 being halal. In 2010, Nando 's UK won the Sunday Times 's best place to work award in the big company category. Its sauces and marinades were also retailed in UK supermarkets. Nando 's claims to have the largest collection of South African art in the UK, with over 5,000 works displayed in restaurants ; original artworks are commissioned by the company.

New Zealand Nando 's opened their first store in Glenfield in 2000. As of February 2013 there are 31 Nando 's outlets in New Zealand. Controversies Advertising Australian refugee advertisement In Australia, Nando 's ran an advertising campaign based around the 2002 political controversy regarding the mandatory detention of refugees. The detainees had been waging a hunger strike campaign, even resorting to physically sewing their lips closed. Nando 's adverts proclaimed that the strikers `` decided to unsew their lips after hearing the news that with every Nando 's quarter chicken combo, Nando 's are giving away an extra quarter chicken free ''. Melbourne 's Sphere Advertising said that the ad was designed to spark controversy, saying that they knew that `` there 's a section of our audience that 's going to be uncomfortable... but we want to evoke a response ''. Malema advertisement During the South African national elections of 2009, Nando 's made an advert lampooning African National Congress Youth League then president Julius Malema by using a puppet that resembled him. Malema 's lawyers sued Nando 's and the original advert was removed. However, an altered version was released, with the puppet 's face pixelated and the voice altered. The puppet used in the advert was later sold at auction for R100, 000 which was donated to an educational charity. Last dictator advertisement In 2011 Nando 's launched a `` Last dictators '' advert in South Africa. The 60 - second commercial shows a sad Robert Mugabe dining alone at Christmas in a large mansion while he reminisces about `` happier times '' with former dictators, such as playing water tag with Muammar Gaddafi, making snow angels in the sand with Saddam Hussein, singing Karaoke with Mao Zedong, pushing P.W. Botha on a swing set, and riding a tank with Idi Amin in a similar fashion to Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet embracing each other from the movie Titanic while the music from `` Those Were the Days '' is being played. Musekiwa Kumbula, holder of the Nando 's franchise in Zimbabwe, said his group `` strongly feels the advertisement is insensitive and in poor taste ''. The advert also offended Chipangano, a Zimbabwean youth militia loyal to Mugabe, who then demanded an apology from Nando 's, threatened to boycott the South Africa - based chain, and demanded the ad be withdrawn or the restaurant face retribution. Nando 's South Africa subsequently withdrew the advert citing threats to its staff in Zimbabwe from a youth group. Tax haven Both The Guardian newspaper ( UK ) and the American non-profit publication ICIJ received documents in July 2014 revealing the details of past and present offshore clients of wealth managers Kleinwort Benson, including the Nando 's restaurant group. The Guardian published its belief that, through the use of businesses in Malta, Guernsey and the Netherlands, Enthoven legally reduces the group 's UK corporation tax bill by `` up to a third ''. According to the British newspaper, Enthoven 's profits eventually accumulate in the Kleinwort Benson - managed `` Taro III Trust '' that is based in Jersey and contains at least £ 750 million. While no member of the Enthoven family agreed to speak with The Guardian, a company representative responded to the publication 's invitation to respond and explained that UK tax laws are not applicable to Enthoven, as `` He ( Enthoven ) is not resident in the US or the UK. '' The spokesperson also stated that, in the UK, Nando 's paid corporation tax of £ 12.6 million on a profit of £ 58.2 million for the year ending February 2013. Nando 's Black Card For several years Nando 's repeatedly denied that numerous celebrities were issued with a special ' Black Card ' enabling free meals and soft drinks for five people at any time. Nando 's false denials on social media were unwittingly revealed by two musicians who were donating free food to the homeless in Manchester, UK.
