Welcome to Nando's Penn Quarter, home of the legendary South African flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken restaurants. Whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout, or prefer delivery, our restaurant is the best place to eat in Washington for spicy flame-grilled chicken, flavorful sandwiches, refreshing salads and more. Always fresh, never frozen, our chicken is marinated in PERi-PERi chili peppers for 24-hours, and flame-grilled to order in the heat level of your choice. Nando's originated in South Africa in 1987 and has grown to include locations across the globe, including our Nando's Penn Quarter restaurant in Washington. The vibrant ambience in our restaurant is great for last-minute dinner ideas. Don't forget to check out our lunch specials.
We've got a little secret-and it's too good to keep to ourselves for long. Starting on July 14th, loyalty is about to be rewarded. No spoilers (yet), but think: more reasons to visit, more chances to earn, and more of the PERi-PERi you crave. It's coming soon... and it's bringing the heat. Sign up today to be the first to know

We tried this place out, while visiting Washington DC in April 2025. Although we were just 'hungry', the menu was quite appealing and simple. The server (Aki) seated us right away and explained...
