Spicy Rice sits 4th of 14 on price in Nando's Sides section, at £4.25 and 246 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
Rice with a little bit of spice.
The £4.25 figure came from a third party listing rather than from Nando's, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.
Allergens Nando's declares
Shared kitchens mean cross-contamination is possible. Ask in the restaurant if an allergy is severe.

Everything You Need to Know About Nando's Spicy Rice
How to order Spicy Rice at Nando's
You can order Spicy Rice at the counter, at a Nando's kiosk, or in the Nando's app for collection or delivery. It is filed under Sides. Branch by branch availability varies, which the app reflects once you choose a location.
Nando's Spicy Rice price in 2026
The Nando's Spicy Rice price in 2026 is £4.25 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from Nando's, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Sides section that puts it 4th of 14 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Allergens declared
Nando's declares 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: tree nuts, peanuts and sesame. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
A lighter choice in the same section
Corn on the Cob sits in the same part of the menu at 142 kcal, which is 104 fewer than this for £4.25. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Protein for the calories
It gives 1.5g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 5.3g across everything we hold for Nando's. That is a weak ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 10th of 16 in its section.
Diet marking
Nando's marks this as low_lactose, vegan and vegetarian. That is the chain's own classification of the recipe rather than a statement about how it is cooked, and vegan marking in particular sits alongside shared equipment at most of these brands.
Pro Tips for Ordering Spicy Rice
The side is where a meal grows
Sides are priced low enough to feel incidental and carry enough energy to change a meal's total. The smaller size, or one shared between two people, keeps the main choice intact. Nando's lists sides separately from meals for exactly this reason.
What 246 kcal means here
246 kcal is well below the Sides average. That is a normal single course for most people, and it leaves room for a side. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Salt worth knowing about
At 1.7g of salt it accounts for 28% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, a noticeable share of a day in one item. Salt in restaurant food is fixed in the recipe, so the only control you have is what else goes alongside it.
