This week I was invited by Nando’s to try out their Nando’s App which now also features a kerbside experience. Now you can order your meal on the app and when you get to your nearest Nando’s look out for the kerbside signs and park in their parking bays. One of the friendly Nando’s staff will then come out with your order and you are good to go.

When you place your order on the App you also give them your car details so they can look out for you when you arrive for your next Nando’s fix.
The free app is pretty refreshing and does not take up much space on your device.
You can download it from your nearest App store.
The first step is to sign up and you can enter your cellphone number and a juicy password. Then you should be good to go to order your meal.
Nice options in the menu section include gift cards, your nearest store and more.

All the favourites are there and some great specials. It offers you some great options right down to how many pieces you want your chicken cut into, whether you want it well done and even if you want the skin on.

You can even choose how hot you want your chicken. Tasty options include Tangy Tomato, Lemon & Herb, Mozam Paprika, Mild, Hot and of course Xtra Hot for those that like to live dangerously.
A nice touch is that you can also see the nutritional info for each meal.

If you are a fan of Boujee bowls you will be delighted to see that Nando’s now have some tantalising options for you.
If you are wanting something for Family & Friends try the Full chicken with 2 sharing sides which works out great value. You can choose sides that include spicy rice, salads, Nando’s rolls, Chips, Coleslaw and more.

I like the fact that you can schedule when you want to collect your order so you can organise your lunch or supper early in the day and pick it up on the way home. What a concept!
I also like the fact that you can select which Nando’s store you want to collect at and the App search function works pretty well in picking up your nearest Nando’s.
Once you have ordered you should also get a SMS confirming your order.
Payment options include card or cash which comes in handy.
Another nice touch is that if you want to collect immediately the App will give you an ETA of when your order will be ready.
When I arrived at my nearest Nando’s I didn’t have to wait long at the kerbside parking. A friendly Nando’s staff member wearing PPE, mask and more came out and even sanitized my hands before she gave me my parcel. She even asked me to check that everything was correct in the order which was a nice touch.

So now you have a handy option for weekend meals. You can either use the Kerbside functionality on the Nando’s App or Website or through their call centre.
Simply order, drive to Nando’s and collect…without leaving your car. They bring your order to your car window. No more waiting in long queues.
The Nando’s Kerbside Experience easy user guide
1. Download the Nando’s app on the Android or iOS app store (it’s FREE)
OR
2. Call 087 997 1955 to place your order for Kerbside collection
3. Give them your car deets (Car make, colour and registration) so they know how to find you when you pull up
4. Drive to Nando’s and follow their Kerbside signs
5. Park at the Kerbside parking or as close as possible to Nando’s so they know where to find you
6. They will meet you in the parking lot and bring your food to your car window.
In the spirit of social distancing, you don’t even have to leave the safety of your car. All their employees continue to follow the strictest hygiene and social distancing precautions by wearing masks and regularly sanitising their hands.
If that doesn’t work for you but you’ve been missing them, use the Nando’s Drive-Thru and takeaway services. So get in the car (or mask up and take a walk), put foot and get your PERi-PERi on! If you’d like to stay home, you can continue to order your food for delivery using the Nando’s app or use their partners Mr D, and Uber Eats platforms.

For those of you wondering how good a Nando’s meal is, well let me put it to you this way. Somebody tried to phone me while I was eating my Nando’s and I didn’t bother to answer. So yeah, it’s that good.
The app is certainly worth the download when next you want to order lunch or supper.
Unless you are chicken?
Rating: Highly recommended.

Have you tried: Visiting Port Elizabeth?
Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Appropriately named “South Africa’s Garden Province”, the lush and green KwaZulu-Natal province forms the east coast of South Africa from the Mozambique boundary southwards to Port Edward. The coastline is dotted with small towns, many of which serve as seasonal recreational hubs. The climate of the coastal areas is humid and subtropical, comparable to southern Florida in the United States, but not quite as hot and rainy in the summer. As one moves further north, up the coast towards the border of Mozambique, the climate becomes almost purely tropical. North of Durban is locally referred to as “The North Coast”, while south is known as “The South Coast”. The Kwazulu-Natal Tourist board includes towns like Margate, Port Shepstone, Scottburgh and Port Edward in its definition of what constitutes the South Coast, while Ballito, Umhlanga and Salt Rock are quintessentially North Coast resort towns.
