History of Pedros Menu South Africa
One of the fastest growing and exciting home-grown fast food companies in South Africa is Pedros. Pedros was established in 2017 in KwaZulu-Natal and has one big idea – good tasting, flame grilled chicken, for all South Africans to savour and enjoy on a budget. Within a few years, the brand was no longer a small regional business but a quick-food chain well-known all over the country with a rapidly growing presence.
Entrepreneurs noticed that there was a void in the South African fast food market and thus the brand was born. Fried chicken was king (KFC and Chicken Licken) while accessible and flame-grilled chicken was under-represented. Pedros filled that void with a product that quickly found a niche in the hearts of South African consumers who know and love the ‘flame grill’ chicken dishes of Nando’s, but who also appreciate something that’s more affordable and readily available.
It was the pricing aspect of What that made Pedros stand out from the get-go. The brand was pitched as being the cheapest chicken on the flame grill market in the South African fast food sector, with whole chicken and meal packs being much cheaper than their rivals. It was done with a positioning based on values (and really good food) which generated explosive word of mouth growth and thus led to the speedy growth of the brand.
Pedros’ growth in 2019, 2020 and beyond was extraordinary – with new store openings in the KwaZulu-Natal region, as well as in Gauteng, the Western Cape and other provinces that have very few new food brands to match. The brand’s social media has played a great role in its swift national awareness, as the social media influencers, along with the enthusiastic customers, have been sharing their experiences on the brand.The social media presence of the brand, in part due to the enthusiastic customers sharing their experiences on the social media, has played a great role in the brand’s quick national awareness.
Pedros has become one of the hottest business success stories in South Africa, by 2026. The brand has continued to expand their footprint and flavour their menu and remains the go-to spot for a South African establishment for affordable, delicious and flavourful flame-grilled chicken.

Chips are the most popular accompaniment at Pedros by quite some distance. The chips at Pedros are freshly cut and very well seasoned; they always get mentioned in the positive comments from customers.

Pedros is fundamentally a chicken-focused restaurant and its menu reflects this specialization. However, there are options worth knowing about for customers with different dietary preferences.
Vegetarian Options at Pedros

The only products that are available are those in the sides menu, and they include chips, coleslaw, peri peri rice, corn on the cob, and garlic bread, and all are vegetarian friendly and can provide a little meal when eaten together.
The side menu has delicious products and is relatively cheap. It is quite difficult for the kitchen to prevent any contamination of the side dishes because the main dish is cooked.
Non-Vegetarian Options at Pedros

Beef, pork, and seafood stuff isn’t available at Pedros, so no surprises there. And since all the proteins used in the Pedros menu are chicken based, it kind of makes it easy for customers to pick without thinking too hard.
Is Pedros Menu South Africa Halal or Haram?
This is kind of one of the most searched questions about Pedros South Africa, and the answer is yes, generally it is positive. Pedros South Africa is halal certified, which is really a core bit of the brand identity and also helps with accessibility in the South African market.
The brand was built with a diverse South African customer base in mind, and halal certification has been treated as a big priority from the early stages of development. All chicken used at Pedros South Africa is sourced from halal-certified suppliers, and the food preparation in Pedros restaurants follows halal guidelines, pretty consistently.
Since the whole Pedros menu is chicken based and no pork products are used anywhere in the kitchen, keeping halal certification across the network is a bit easier than at chains with more than one type of food, and more complex menus. Muslim customers can usually visit Pedros South Africa with confidence, however verifying the halal status of your specific local branch is still a good idea, as best practice.
Pedros Menu South Africa Halal Certification and Food Standards
Pedros South Africa’s halal certification is kept via collaboration with identified South African Islamic certification authorities. The certification is not a single event but an on-going process, the results of which are continuously reviewed and audited by an independent party.
This certification is inclusive of the chicken that has been supplied from Halal approved suppliers meeting Islamic slaughter methods, the preparation and handling of food within the Pedros kitchen area, food ingredients used in all seasoning and marinades, which goes back to the source, and the methods used to prevent cross-contamination between the Halal certified product and any non-certified product.
As part of the certification process, the Pedros peri peri seasoning, along with all other spice blends found in the kitchen, are checked to ensure there are no non-halal ingredients or additives. This is significant as the spices used in seasoning blends may not be halal if not properly checked.
In addition to halal certification, Pedros South Africa complies with all South African food safety laws and regulations applicable to temperature control of raw and cooked chicken, kitchen hygiene, cleaning of equipment and staff food handler certification.
