What Are Nando’s Halloumi Sticks & Dip?

This starter brings together the two flavours Nando’s does best:
salty grilled halloumi + sweet-spicy chilli jam.

Each halloumi stick is lightly coated, grilled until golden, and served warm with a vibrant dip made from red peppers, chilli, and a touch of Nando’s PERi-PERi flavour.

It’s simple, rich, savoury — and one of the most popular vegetarian starters on the menu.
