New-look Nando's opens in Grand West

“When designing the layout of this new restaurant, we wanted to create a space that would have a calming effect – something that completely contrasts with the vibrant and energetic surroundings of the casino environment, while incorporating our unique Nando’s flavour and character,” says Nando’s head of design and development, Michael Spinks.

In the newly designed restaurant, the natural colour palette is enhanced by textures and patterns introduced modestly with pops of colour featured as accents. Design details include timber wall panelling, colourful rope weave details and printed patterns on the table tops.

The look and feel was created in collaboration with Doctor and Misses, David Krynauw, The Streets Furniture Company, Pedersen and Lennard, Kent and Lane, Egg Designs, and SF Interiors.

Like all Nando’s across the world, the refurbished restaurant features unique design touches and original local South African art. The selected accents combine ethnic, contemporary and Mozambican influences, which act as a backdrop to showcase and support South African furniture and industrial design.

“We are always striving to create the best dine-in experience for our customers, and can’t wait for you to join our table at our Grand West Casino restaurant,” concludes Spinks.
