Expressing his excitement, Saka shared that his father has always been a fan of Nando’s, and he himself has enjoyed their offerings since childhood.

“The sauce combines sweetness, spiciness, and smokiness. I’m thrilled for everyone to try it,” remarked Saka. “Having my own Peri-Peri sauce in every Nando’s restaurant across the country is incredible. My family’s approval means a lot to me, and when my dad endorsed it, I knew we had something special.”

The Peri-Peri Saka sauce delivers a fiery kick balanced with medium-level heat, enhanced by notes of garlic and smoked paprika. With its blend of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors, this sauce is set to captivate spice enthusiasts and culinary aficionados alike.
