Is Nandos Sauce Vegan?

Have you embarked on a vegan diet? Are you wondering whether you can consume Nandos sauces or if they are off the menu? Well, here is what you are going to be pleased to know.

So, is Nandos sauce vegan? Nandos sauces are vegan; this includes their Peri-Peri sauces and Marinades across all flavors and varieties. The only exception is Perinaise (which is made from mayonnaise/eggs). Thankfully, Nandos has introduced a Vegainaise alternative for this particular sauce.

In fact, Nandos as a restaurant chain is still a largely viable place for you to eat.

With caveats of course!

That being said, this particular restaurant chain is aware of the growing demand for vegan food and has started to make arrangements accordingly.

The sauces are even dairy-free and gluten-free, too (by the way)!

Let us now explore the options if you were to decide to eat in, or take away!

And what’s more, they’ve made it really easy to see what menu items are suitable by indicating what food is ‘plant-based’ on their menu on their site!
