Embracing Afro-Portuguese Heritage and Warm Hospitality in Maponya Mall.

Nando's Maponya Mall is a testament to our journey that began in 1987 when our first restaurant opened in Rosettenville, Johannesburg. Despite our growth, we hold onto our humble beginnings, and to honor our roots, all our design elements feature a distinct tilt at 87 degrees. This unique touch serves as a reminder of the passion and authenticity that drive us. As you step into our restaurant, you'll be embraced by earthy textures and colors that reflect our sunny Afro-Portuguese heritage. These elements create an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

At Nando's Maponya Mall, we take great pride in showcasing local South African art and design. Our space is adorned with original artwork that captures the essence of our vibrant culture. These artistic touches, combined with unique design elements, come together to create a visually stimulating environment. Each of our restaurants has its own distinct design, but they all share the same warm and welcoming atmosphere. We believe that the perfect dining experience involves not only enjoying the best food but also immersing yourself in a space that celebrates the beauty and diversity of South Africa.

As you indulge in our flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, you'll be treated to more than just a delicious meal. Afro-Luso beats fill the air, contributing to the lively vibe and creating an unforgettable dining experience. Our friendly and attentive service adds an extra layer of warmth to your visit. We believe that food is best enjoyed in the company of others, and we can't wait for you to join our table. At Nando's Maponya Mall, we invite you to be a part of our vibrant community, where the love for PERi-PERi and the joy of sharing it with others are celebrated.

About the
Professional

Our studio specializes in design for behaviour.


We have done so for almost 30 years and in this time we have learned a tremendous amount about how people behave naturally and instinctively within these social environments. We have learned the hard way that in order to design successful venues, we needed to place predictive human behaviour at the heart of what we do. We capture succinctly how most people behave most of the time in order to design spaces for the most joy and ultimately the most success. This assists us in capturing the spirit of place.
