Experienced and witnessed by Shreshth Jaiswal, TheStyle.World Team
Nando’s has always been a name I have associated with bold flavours and its famous flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken. So, when I recently visited the brand’s newest Casa at Sarath City Capital Mall in Hyderabad, I was curious to see what made it such a global favourite. By the end of the afternoon, I had my answer.
The experience began even before the food arrived. As soon as we entered, the team welcomed us with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. The atmosphere was immediately relaxed and comfortable. The staff patiently walked us through the menu, explained the different heat levels, and shared recommendations based on our preferences. It felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being hosted by people who truly wanted us to enjoy our meal.
One of the most exciting parts of the visit was discovering the range of PERi-PERi sauces available at the table. While I had heard about Nando’s legendary sauces before, seeing them lined up and ready for us to explore was an experience in itself. From milder flavours that offered a subtle kick to fiery options that challenged even seasoned spice lovers, every sauce brought its own unique personality to the meal. Naturally, we spent a considerable amount of time mixing, matching, and debating our favourite sauces.
Then came the food.
The signature flame-grilled chicken arrived beautifully presented, carrying that unmistakable smoky aroma that instantly builds anticipation. The first bite delivered exactly what Nando’s is known for—tender, juicy chicken infused with flavour from its 24-hour marinade and finished with the perfect balance of spice. Paired with refreshing beverages and delicious sides, every element on the table complemented the other effortlessly.
What made the visit even more special was learning that this outlet marks Nando’s second Casa in Hyderabad, following the success of its RMZ Nexcity location. Situated within Sarath City Capital Mall, the restaurant brings the brand’s globally loved dining experience to one of the city’s most vibrant destinations.
The space itself reflects Nando’s personality. Contemporary African-inspired artwork, warm interiors, upbeat music, and a relaxed atmosphere create an environment where conversations flow naturally. It is the kind of place where a quick lunch can easily turn into a long afternoon spent catching up with friends and family.
During our visit, we also got a glimpse of Nando’s newly introduced weekday lunch offering, available across its Hyderabad locations. With complete flame-grilled meals starting at ₹239 and free bottomless Coke from Monday to Friday, it adds even more reason for diners to stop by.
Looking back, what stayed with me wasn’t just the food. It was the combination of flavours, hospitality, and the overall experience that really stayed with me. Nando’s manages to create something that goes beyond a typical restaurant visit. It invites guests to personalise their meal, explore different flavour profiles, and enjoy food in a welcoming setting.
For anyone in Hyderabad who enjoys bold flavours and memorable dining experiences, Nando’s Sarath City is definitely worth a visit. I walked in expecting good food; I left with a dining experience that was far more memorable than I anticipated.
