"This is having a knock-on effect with some of our restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales.
"We are doing everything we can to get the peri-peri back where it belongs – on your plates!”
In another tweet, the restaurant, which serves Afro-Portuguese inspired chicken dishes, apologised for the “disappointment” and said suppliers could not keep up with “demand for peri-peri”.
Nando’s said: "We’re sorry for any disappointment caused.
"Our suppliers are struggling to keep up with demand for peri-peri. Meaning that some of our restaurants have had to temporarily close to restock."
Nando's added it is hopeful that all its restaurants would be able to reopen by Saturday.
