23 YEARS HOT, 23 CASAS STRONG: NANDO’S BRINGS THE HEAT TO JBR
After 23 years of firing up taste buds across the UAE, Nando’s is celebrating a milestone moment with the launch of its 23rd Casa at Nando’s JBR The Walk. The iconic Southern African brand, loved for its flame-grilled PERi-PERi, is set to celebrate the official grand opening of its new restaurant with a lively launch event on Monday, November 17, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
In the lead-up to the event, Barci, Nando’s cheeky mascot, will take over The Walk from November 10 to 13, spreading smiles, posing for photos, and handing out scratch-and-win cards that give fans the chance to win Nando’s exclusive goodies, from free menu items to signature sauce bottles and the ultimate prize of a free meal for four.
Adding even more sizzle to the festivities, guests of the event will witness a one-of-a-kind Nando’s Grill Off between Fernando Duarte, one of Nando’s founders, and Joe Masedi, the brand’s longest-serving head griller from South Africa. Taking place midway through the event, following the official ribbon and cake cutting ceremony, the friendly showdown promises to be a highlight moment for media and guests alike.
Since its soft opening earlier this summer, Nando’s JBR The Walk has become a go-to for beachside diners looking for bold flavours and upbeat vibes. Perfectly positioned along one of Dubai’s most popular promenades, the restaurant combines soulful food, vibrant interiors, and the warm, friendly energy that Nando’s is loved for.
“Since opening our JBR branch earlier this year, we’ve been blown away by the love and enthusiasm from our guests,” said George Kunnappally, Managing Director, Nando’s UAE. “This celebration is our way of saying thank you, bringing together great food, great vibes, and great people, just the way Nando’s does it best. Barci’s return makes it even more special, as we spread that signature PERi-PERi energy right in the heart of JBR”
The grand opening celebration will capture everything that makes Nando’s a UAE favourite, great food, great vibes, and great people, as the brand commemorates 23 years of PERi-PERi passion across the Emirates.
