Nando’s Menu Price in Canada [2026 UPDATED]

Nando’s prices in Canada generally run from about $13.57 for a basic individual main to $20.11 for larger handheld mains, while a whole chicken costs $33.92 and the largest sharing platter reaches $95.19. This Nando’s Menu with Prices in Canada guide breaks down what you’ll actually pay before tax, from a quick side and PERi-PERi chicken fix to a full family-style order.

Nando’s flame-grilled chicken gets its character from the smoky char, citrus-garlic marinade and Bird’s Eye chilli heat in its PERi-PERi sauces. I’ve focused on the prices that matter when you’re deciding what to order, including the cheaper add-ons and bigger meals.

At a Glance: Key Price Anchors

• Cheapest Bite: Naughty Nata custard tart — $3.56
• Standard Solo Meal: ¼ Chicken Leg + Thigh — $13.57
• Top-End Sharing Platter: Jumbo Chicken Platter — $95.19, serving 4–6 people

Classic sides such as PERi-Fries, Spiced Rice and Coleslaw are around $5.34, while extra dips and drizzles start at $1.77. We regularly cross-check official Nando’s Canadian menus and active locations across Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, but branch pricing can shift slightly with local overhead, delivery-app pricing and GST/HST/PST.

Nando’s Menu With Prices in Canada

Nando’s PERi-PERi Chicken

If you’re weighing this against classic Canadian rotisserie, a whole bird here sits slightly higher than the Swiss Chalet menu, though what you’re really paying for is the slow marinade and open-flame char over standard roasting.

Nando’s Handhelds

At roughly $15 to $20, these handhelds lean closer to casual sit-down pub prices than quick-service grabs. They carry a noticeable markup over items on the Chick-fil-A Canada menu, though the chargrilled thigh fillets offer far more heft than standard fast-food patties.

Nando’s Bowls & Salads

Crossing the $20 threshold makes these some of the priciest items per plate. If you’re purely chasing grains and greens rather than heavy protein, you’ll find more pocket-friendly options across the Freshii menu, though Nando’s definitely delivers bigger portions of actual grilled chicken.

Nando’s Sharing Platters

Group pricing here climbs fast upfront, but the per-person math works out. When feeding four or more, these spreads match the value of the family combos on the St-Hubert menu and save you from ordering individual $25 plates.

The Best Items on Nando’s Menu: Ranked & Reviewed

Everyone has a Nando’s order they’ll defend to the death, but a few dishes consistently earn repeat-order status. These are the ones I’d point a friend towards when they want the full PERi-PERi experience rather than just something to fill a plate.

1/2 Chicken — Around $18–$20 [Editor’s Pick]

The half chicken is where Nando’s makes the most sense to me. It gets the full 24-hour marinade treatment, then hits the flame grill until the skin picks up that smoky, slightly charred crust while the bone-in meat stays juicy.

I wouldn’t go below Medium here. Mild sauce is fine if you’re avoiding heat, but the stronger PERi-PERi levels bring out the citrus, garlic and chilli much better; Extra Hot, though, can turn a relaxed lunch into a sweaty negotiation.

You’ll need your hands, and yes, sauce will find its way under your nails. That’s part of the deal. I usually add two sides and save a little chicken to drag through whatever PERi-PERi sauce is left on the plate.

Boneless Chicken Thighs — Around $18–$20

For regular Nando’s diners, boneless thighs are the easy choice. They’re juicy, richly flavoured and far less fiddly than picking meat from a bone, especially when you’re eating quickly over lunch.

My move is thighs with PERi-Fries and a little extra sauce. The chips pick up the salty PERi-PERi seasoning, while the dark meat can handle a proper chilli kick without drying out.

Best for: People who want maximum chicken flavour without the bones.
Not ideal for: Anyone specifically chasing that smoky bone-in chicken experience.

Hummus with PERi-PERi Drizzle — Around $8–$10

This looks like the sensible starter until that little bottle of PERi-PERi drizzle gets involved. The hummus is creamy, the warm pita gives you something soft and chewy to scoop it up with, and the spicy oil cuts through the richness.

Order extra pita. I’m serious.

Once the bowl is nearly empty, you’ll find yourself scraping the edges for every last bit of hummus and chilli oil. It’s a starter, but I’ve seen it disappear before the mains even hit the table.

PERi-PERi Whole Wings — Around $14–$17

These wings are messy in exactly the right way: crisp edges, sticky sauce and enough chilli to leave your fingertips coated. They aren’t the cheapest wings around, but I’d take their smoky grilled flavour over a generic fast-food wing any day.

Keep napkins nearby. Not ideal for: First dates when you’re trying to look composed.

Grilled Halloumi Cheese — Around $7–$9 [Top Vegetarian Choice]

Halloumi is my favourite Nando’s add-on when I want to make a regular meal feel less predictable. It’s salty, springy and squeaks against your teeth in that unmistakable halloumi way, with the grill adding a browned edge that works brilliantly with PERi-PERi sauce.

It’s also a useful menu hack: add it to a sandwich, eat it alongside chicken, or put it between two pieces of garlic bread and make your own chaotic little grilled-cheese situation.

Macho Peas or Spicy Rice — Around $5

These sides are easy to overlook when the chicken gets all the attention, but I wouldn’t build a Nando’s order without one. Macho Peas bring a soft, slightly spicy contrast to the grilled chicken, while Spicy Rice is the better pick when I want something more filling.

The portions aren’t enormous, so don’t expect one side to carry your whole meal. Pair either with chicken and you’ve got a much more balanced plate.

Thigh & Mighty Sandwich / Nandoca’s Choice — Around $20.11

When I’m eating on the go, the Thigh & Mighty is the kind of order I want: tender chicken, sauce and enough heft to keep lunch from becoming a snack. Just accept that the first few bites can get messy, particularly when the filling starts sliding toward the back of the bun.

At roughly $20.11, this isn’t a cheap handheld. You’re paying for a proper Nando’s portion rather than a basic fast-food burger, so I’d save it for when you actually want a substantial lunch rather than chasing the lowest price.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nando’s Canadian Menu & Prices

How much do vegetarian menu items cost at Nando’s Canada?

Vegetarian mains currently range from $15.11 to $22.60. The Veggie Burger is $15.11, the Portobello Mushroom & Halloumi Wrap is $15.71, the Mediterranean Salad is $19.03, and the Rainbow Bowl reaches $22.60.

For sharing or adding to a meal, Grilled Halloumi Sticks & Dip cost $11.89, while the PERi Mac side is $7.13. Regular sides such as Fries, Spiced Rice and Coleslaw are $5.34.

Does Nando’s Canada offer a kids’ menu, and what are the prices?

Yes. The Nandinos menu is $11.29 for the core kids’ meals, including the Mac & Cheese Meal and Grilled Chicken Breast Strips Meal.

That makes it a fairly straightforward family option: one fixed price, a choice between cheesy comfort food or grilled chicken, and no need to pay adult-main prices for a smaller appetite.

Does Nando’s Canada offer gluten-free options, and how much do they cost?

Yes, there are gluten-aware choices, although Nando’s isn’t a certified gluten-free kitchen because shared grill surfaces can create cross-contact. Plain flame-grilled chicken options include a ¼ Chicken at $13.57, ½ Chicken at $17.73, and Boneless Butterfly Breast at $17.73.

Spiced Rice and Casa Salad are also listed at $5.34 each. If you have celiac disease or a serious allergy, I’d tell the crew clearly before ordering so they can explain the current preparation and cross-contact risks.

Are Nando’s menu prices the same across all Canadian locations?

Not exactly. We regularly check Nando’s pricing across Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, and the core prices are generally aligned, but individual locations can differ slightly.

The final bill can move because of downtown rent and other local costs, provincial taxes, and delivery-app pricing. Alberta has 5% GST, Ontario has 13% HST, while BC combines GST and PST at 12%; DoorDash and Uber Eats can also add roughly 15–25% to menu pricing.

Does Nando’s Canada offer limited-time menu items, and what do they usually cost?

Yes, Nando’s occasionally rotates seasonal marinades, special sauces, feature bowls and drinks. A feature such as the Chickle has been priced at $18.92, while Watermelon Lemonade has ranged from $4.75 to $9.51 depending on size.

In practice, I’d expect limited-time handhelds and bowls to land around $16–$22, although the exact price depends on the promotion and location.

What are the best value meal combinations at Nando’s Canada?

For one person, the numbers are pretty simple: a ¼ Chicken Leg + Thigh at $13.57 plus a regular side at $5.34 comes to $18.91 before tax. That gives you flame-grilled chicken and a proper side without pushing into the price of Nando’s larger mains.

For groups, the maths changes. Sharing platters cost more upfront but spread the chicken and sides across several people, so they can make more sense than buying multiple individual mains.

What are the most expensive menu items at Nando’s Canada?

The top end is dominated by sharing platters rather than individual meals:

• Jumbo Chicken Platter — $95.19
• Family Platter — $77.34
• Full Platter — $59.49
• Whole Chicken — $33.92

These prices make more sense once you look at the portions. The platters are designed for roughly 3–6 people and include multiple chickens and substantial sides, while the $33.92 Whole Chicken is a standalone larger chicken order.

What are the cheapest items on the Nando’s menu in Canada?

The Naughty Nata custard tart at $3.56 is the cheapest proper food item in the current pricing set. Regular sides such as Fries, Spiced Rice and Coleslaw cost $5.34, while Garlic Bread is $5.94.

For drinks, canned sodas and water fall around $4.27–$4.51, depending on the item. If you only want extra flavour, PERi-PERi drizzles and cheese slices start at $1.77, making them the smallest add-on hit to your bill.

Planning Your Next Nando’s Run

Nando’s prices can shift once you reach the checkout. Dine-in pricing is one thing, while DoorDash or Uber Eats may carry delivery markups, and your final bill also changes with provincial tax—5% GST in Alberta, 13% HST in Ontario, or 12% GST/PST in British Columbia.

I regularly check Nando’s Canadian menu prices across Ontario, BC and Alberta, and we revisit this guide as prices and menu items change. That matters because a price list is only useful if it still resembles what you’ll see at your local restaurant.

For a solo order, my pick is the ½ Chicken with Medium heat and PERi-Fries. At about $17.73 for the chicken and $5.34 for the side, you get juicy bone-in meat, proper flame-grilled char and enough PERi-PERi kick without turning dinner into a chilli endurance test.

If you’re ordering for a group, splitting a Full Platter at $59.49 can make more sense than buying several individual mains.
