Nando's Craigieburn doesn't have its own halal certification. However, according to the main Nando's Australia website, the chicken they use in all their Victorian restaurants comes from suppliers who are halal certified. It's important to know that they do serve alcohol and cook bacon in the same kitchen (on a different grill), so many Muslims consider it a 'mixed kitchen'.

Yes, Nando's Craigieburn serves alcohol. They do not have pork on their menu, but they do prepare bacon, which is cooked on a separate flat-top grill away from the main open-flame grill where chicken on the bone is cooked.

There is no information available to suggest that the chicken is hand-slaughtered (zabihah). The supplier is halal certified, but the specific method of slaughter is not mentioned.

We did not find any information about a prayer room inside the restaurant or in the immediate vicinity. You may need to find a nearby mosque or community centre for prayers.

Nando's has a casual dining atmosphere that is generally suitable for families. They offer catering packages and have meal bundles that are great for sharing. For very large groups, it would be best to call the restaurant directly to see what arrangements they can make.
