Fan-favourite PERi-PERi Saka has officially returned to Nando’s restaurants across the UK and Ireland from 2 April 2026, marking the comeback of one of the brand’s most talked-about limited-edition sauces.
Created in collaboration with Bukayo Saka, the Arsenal winger’s signature flavour quickly became a viral hit when it first launched in 2024 — and now, after overwhelming demand, it’s back and set to be bigger than ever.
What Does PERi-PERi Saka Taste Like?
The returning sauce blends Saka’s favourite flavours into one bold profile. Expect a rich mix of tomato and BBQ, elevated with Nando’s signature PERi-PERi heat. On the brand’s PERi-ometer, it sits comfortably at a medium spice level, making it a crowd-pleaser for both casual and seasoned spice fans.
Whether you’re dipping, drizzling or marinating, PERi-PERi Saka is designed to slot seamlessly into your go-to Nando’s order.
A Cult Classic With Global Hype
When PERi-PERi Saka first launched, it didn’t just perform well — it became a full-blown phenomenon. Fans reportedly travelled internationally just to try it, while others went as far as reselling bottles online and even taking them from restaurants.
That level of hype turned the sauce into a modern Nando’s cult classic, with social media calls for its return becoming a daily occurrence.
Coming Soon to Supermarkets and Summer Menus
The relaunch isn’t limited to restaurants. Nando’s has confirmed that PERi-PERi Saka will also hit major UK retailers in the coming months, giving fans the chance to enjoy it at home.
Even more exciting, the sauce will appear as a guest spice on Nando’s menus, just in time for a summer packed with football — making it the perfect companion for matchday meals.
You’ll soon be able to recreate your favourite Nando’s flavours from your own kitchen, whether that’s wings, wraps or loaded chips.
Saka on the Sauce’s Return
Speaking on the relaunch, Saka shared his excitement about bringing the sauce back to fans:
“I’m very happy with the sauce and the love it received first time round. I always knew I wanted to bring it back and now it’s finally time.”
He also highlighted his personal connection to the brand, calling Nando’s “one of my happy places,” filled with memories shared with friends and family.
Bigger, Bolder Launch Campaign
To celebrate the return, the campaign has levelled up. While the original 2024 launch saw Saka stepping into the kitchen as a playful “head chef,” the 2026 rollout takes things further.
The new campaign shows the football star running operations behind the scenes — overseeing sauce distribution in a high-energy warehouse setting, ensuring fans get their hands on it this time around.
The instantly recognisable bottle design — created by artist Reuben Dangoor — also returns, with its bold visuals now appearing across delivery trucks, restaurant windows and upcoming retail spaces.
Where to Get It
PERi-PERi Saka is available now in all UK and Ireland Nando’s locations, with supermarket releases and expanded menu appearances rolling out soon.
If you missed it the first time, now’s your chance to see what the hype is all about — and if history repeats itself, you might want to grab it while you can.
