Nando's opened its first restaurants within the United Kingdom, in 1992, in the west London suburbs of [[Ealing]] and [[Earls Court]], initially focusing on takeaway food.<ref name="DT Brown" /> The UK arm, owned by the Enthoven family via a private equity company, struggled until chairman Dick Enthoven put his son Robert in control. The focus then moved from takeaways to a mixed service (counter ordering and table service) model.<ref name="DT Brown" /> This decision was taken after Nando's partnered with Harrison, a branding and design agency. They also advised Nando's to design each restaurant individually so no two restaurants were the same, a brand characteristic of the chain. Nando's expanded in the UK in 1993.

=== Australian refugee advertisement ===
In 2002, Nando's ran an advertising campaign in Australia based around a political controversy regarding the [[Immigration detention in Australia|mandatory detention of refugees]]. The detainees had been waging a hunger strike campaign, even resorting to sewing their lips closed. Nando's adverts proclaimed that the strikers "decided to unsew their lips after hearing the news that with every Nando's quarter chicken combo, Nando's are giving away an extra quarter chicken free." Melbourne's Sphere Advertising said that the ad was designed to spark controversy, saying that they knew that "there's a section of our audience that's going to be uncomfortable... but we want to evoke a response."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/07/28/1027818485483.html |title=Asylum seekers' plight used to peddle chickens |date=29 July 2002 |author=Gotting, Peter |work=The Age |location=Melbourne |access-date=20 December 2012 |archive-date=18 December 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121218060949/http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/07/28/1027818485483.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Musekiwa Kumbula, holder of the Nando's franchise in Zimbabwe, said his group "strongly feels the advertisement is insensitive and in poor taste." The advert also offended Chipangano, a Zimbabwean youth militia loyal to Mugabe, who then demanded an apology from Nando's, threatened to boycott the South Africa-based chain, and demanded the advert be withdrawn or the restaurant face retribution.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/advertising/last-dictator-spoof-angers-mugabe-faithful-6269818.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220618/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/advertising/last-dictator-spoof-angers-mugabe-faithful-6269818.html |archive-date=18 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title='Last dictator' spoof angers Mugabe faithful |date=30 November 2011 |author=Shaw, Angus |newspaper=The Independent |location=London |access-date=20 December 2012 }}</ref> Nando's South Africa subsequently withdrew the advert citing threats to its staff in Zimbabwe from a youth group.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16002239 |title=Nando's 'Mugabe' ad causes controversy in South Africa |date=2 December 2011 |work=BBC News |access-date=20 December 2012 |archive-date=3 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240703200244/https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-africa-16002239 |url-status=live }}</ref>
=== Corporation tax bill ===
{{update|section|date=July 2023}}
Both ''[[The Guardian]]'' newspaper (UK) and the American non-profit publication ''[[ICIJ#International Consortium of Investigative Journalists|ICIJ]]'' received documents in July 2014 revealing the details of past and present offshore clients of wealth managers [[Kleinwort Benson]], including the Nando's restaurant group. ''The Guardian'' published its belief that, through the use of businesses in Malta, Guernsey and the Netherlands, Enthoven legally reduces the group's UK corporation tax bill by "up to a third." According to the British newspaper, Enthoven's profits eventually accumulate in the Kleinwort Benson-managed "Taro III Trust" that is based in [[Jersey]] and contains at least £750 million.<ref name="Jersey">{{cite news|author=David Leigh
While no member of the Enthoven family agreed to speak with ''The Guardian'', a company representative explained that UK tax laws are not applicable to Enthoven, as "he is not resident in the US or the UK." The spokesperson also stated that, in the UK, Nando's paid corporation tax of £12.6 million on a profit of £58.2 million for the year ending February 2013.<ref name="Jersey" />
