Nando's is bringing back its iconic PERi-PERi Saka Sauce

Nando's is bringing back one of its most iconic limited edition sauces after pleading from fans.

Yup, the PERi-PERi Saka sauce is officially back, landing in sauce stations across the UK and Ireland from today.

If you missed the chaos the first time round, the collab between England star Bukayo Saka and Nando's basically took on a life of its own.

We’re talking fans flying in from other countries just to try it, bottles mysteriously disappearing from tables, and resales popping up online. Not your average limited-edition sauce moment.

So what’s the deal with the flavour? It’s built around Saka’s go-to combo – tomato and BBQ – with that signature PERi-PERi kick layered in. It sits at a medium on the spice scale, so it’s got heat, but it’s not about to ruin your day.

This time, it’s not just a blink-and-you-miss-it drop either. The sauce is sticking around in restaurants for now, with plans to hit supermarket shelves across the UK in the coming months.

It’s also set to show up on the menu as a guest spice, which basically means you can start adding it to your usual order without overthinking it.

Saka himself seems pretty gassed about the return. He’s called Nando’s one of his “happy places,” which honestly tracks, and said he always planned to bring the sauce back after seeing how big it got the first time.

The rollout’s getting a bit of a glow-up too. Instead of just a quick promo, there’s a full campaign behind it, including a new launch video where Saka’s running the show in a distribution warehouse, making sure every bottle gets where it needs to go.

And then there’s the bottle itself, which has quietly become part of the hype. Designed by Reuben Dangoor, it’s all bold colours and standout graphics — the kind of thing you actually notice on a table.

For the comeback, those designs are going bigger, showing up on delivery lorries, restaurant windows, and more.

If you want in, it’s available now across all Nando’s locations in the UK and Ireland as of 2 April 2026. Retail launch is coming next, so you’ll soon be able to keep a bottle at home instead of debating whether it’s acceptable to “accidentally” take one with you.

Brb, we're off to Nando's!
