Nando’s brings the heat to Barlow Park

Sandton, get ready for a heatwave that’s different to the one experienced in recent weeks. There’s a new kid on the block, and it’s about to make your taste buds do an amapiano dance challenge. Yes, you guessed right: another Nando’s has flapped its wings and landed right in the heart of Barlow Park, and trust us, it’s going to hotspot all the 9-5rs in the neighbourhood.

Picture this: you stroll into the new, vibrant, and beautifully designed Barlow Park lifestyle precinct, and what catches your eye? None other than Nando’s, standing tall and proud like a beacon of flavour. But step inside, and oh boy, you’re in for a treat.

First things first, let’s talk about the ambience. Just like their food and advertising, Nando’s doesn’t do bland designs. It’s all about bold colours, quirky décor, and art that’ll make your Instagram feed jealous. Celebrating South African culture with slick signage and furniture, every corner of this restaurant is a feast for the eyes.

And speaking of feasts, let’s talk about the real star of the show: the food. We’re talking flame-grilled chicken that’s been marinated and then grilled to perfection, juicy and succulent, with just the right kick of PERi-PERi. Whether you enjoy that ‘bring me a fire extinguisher’ kind of hot or prefer to play it mild, Nando’s has got you covered. If you’re a serious heat seeker though, you should definitely pop in to try their new limited edition Vusa Double Burger, Pita or Wrap.

But we should not forget the impact that Nando’s has beyond the plate. With its commitment to supporting local artists, this fiery chick definitely has heart too. As you walk through Nando’s Barlow Park, you’ll see that one of the artists whose work is beautifully displayed here, is Meshack ‘Shakes’ Tembani. Shakes uses a deliberate stylised technique of bold, flat colour, graphic edges and minimalistic tone to create his masterpieces. The Nando’s art collection boasts over 26 000 contemporary art pieces around the world, and some of Shakes’ artwork is displayed in Nando’s restaurants all the way to the United Kingdom. So, when you’re tucking into your meal, know that you’re not just indulging your taste buds – you’re supporting a brand that is committed to changing lives, one bite at a time.

There you have it, Sandton. Nando’s PERi-PERi is here, and it’s ready to shake things up in Barlow Park. So, grab your fam or the mates you call fam, bring your appetite, and get ready for a flavour explosion like no other.
