Nando's Peri Peri coming to Wheaton (Photos)

One of the most-popular and fastest-growing restaurants in the DC region is finally coming to Wheaton. Nando's Peri-Peri is opening a new location at Westfield Wheaton Plaza, next to Tutti Fruitti.

Nando's spicy chicken resulted from a culinary collision of Portugal and South Africa, fueled by the discovery of the PERi-PERi chili - the "secret ingredient" in Nando's overnight marinade and basting process.

Their first American location opened in Washington, D.C. in 2008.
