Nando’s UAE, the popular South African brand celebrated for its flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, is set to launch four new outlets by the second quarter of 2025. The upcoming branches in Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Al Wahda Mall, Khalifa City, and Dubai Investment Park (DIP) align with the brand’s ambitious growth strategy to cater to the increasing demand for its bold flavors and vibrant dining experience.
The JBR location will establish Nando’s in one of Dubai’s busiest beachfront communities, attracting both residents and tourists. Meanwhile, the Al Wahda Mall branch will strengthen the brand’s footprint in Abu Dhabi, bringing its iconic offerings to the city’s bustling retail hub. Khalifa City’s outlet aims to connect with families and the rapidly growing residential community, while the DIP branch will cater to the workforce and rising population in this prominent commercial area.
Each new restaurant will showcase refreshed designs featuring Nando’s signature cozy interiors, bold artwork, and updated menu options. The brand aims to provide an elevated experience while retaining its signature offerings that have won the loyalty of UAE diners since its debut in the country in 2002.
Nando’s local sourcing, such as using Al Rawda chicken, has been a cornerstone of its commitment to quality and community connection. These new locations further solidify the brand’s presence in high-traffic areas, ensuring greater convenience for diners across both residential and commercial hubs.
