Vibrant Afro-Portuguese Colors, handmade fabric and geometric designs pay homage to the bespoke art
Bangalore, May 9, 2016: People’s favorite Nando’s, the South Africa based international chain of casual dining restaurants, serving Afro-Portuguese cuisine has completely revamped its Bangalore outlet at Ascendas Park Square Mall, Whitefield, Bangalore.
Commenting on the refurbished outlet, Mr. Sumeet Yadav, CEO, Nando’s India, said: “Bangalore has always shown love to Nando’s and they relish our PERi-PERi chicken. As a brand we have always been passionate about trying something artsy, and this outlet showcases a fine blend of both by keeping the authenticity of the African art and craft intact and alive. We have tried our best to make sure that customer experience at Nando’s is a visual feast and a memorable one.”
It would have been much easier to roll-out a ‘one look fits all’ design for Nando’s, but that wouldn’t be nearly as generous, or as fun. Hence every Nando’s interior is different, and they range from extremely rustic to almost-modern-art-museum to give customer an experience.
Nando’s Bangalore ambience is inspired by African arts and crafts where the main focus is on keeping the authenticity of this art alive by using real and natural elements.
Nando’s is globally renowned for being passionate about its unique interiors hence, living up to its legacy, this new outlet uses vibrant colors and hand-made African fabrics. The patterns on these beautiful fabrics have strong geometric elements, the influence of which can be seen through the use of geometric black and white tiles on the floor.
In addition, Walk-Ins get more experiential, as Nando’s creates customised angular timber cladding on the front counters of the restaurant, grabbing eyeballs.
The typically dim lights, which are associated with all Nando’s outlets, enhance the color splash that have been used on fabrics for bench seats and chair cushions. The synchronization of the lights and the colors bring warmth to the total setting thereby giving its customer the ultimate fun & frolic dining experience.
When you enter the restaurant you can’t miss the hand-painted African pattern on the underside of the ground floor stairs ties in with the appreciation of the chosen theme-African arts and crafts, pays tribute to the history of the brand.
Apart from a totally new look, Nando’s lovers in Bangalore will also see a new format of ‘self-service’, which has been introduced for the first time by Nando’s in India to give its customers a flexible option in dining.
