Nando's is a South African multinational fast casual restaurant chain that specialises in Portuguese flame-grilled, peri-peri style chicken. The name is derived from a nickname for the male given name Fernando in reference to one of the company's founders, as in Fernando's restaurant. Founded in Johannesburg in 1987.

I think the big point of confusion is why it's cheeky to go to this restaurant.

"cheeky" is a bit like a little treat. Something you shouldn't do, but isn't a big deal

As the other commentator said, it's a bit of a "treat yoself" moment for a fast food chain thing that's surprisingly good.

Though, when I was there, nobody actually called it a cheeky nandos, it was just "let's go to Nandos".

Then it wasn't a cheeky visit!

Because you were going to get curry.
