Joburg food lovers, get ready! Your favourite restaurants are opening new branches, and fresh spots are about to hit the city. Here’s a handy guide to all the droolworthy openings around town. We can taste the 'yum' through the screen.
Nook
Nook has just opened for pre-booked private functions! They've been hinting at a hard launch for some time now, so we're watching their social media like hawks to see when doors will be open to the general public. If the teaser footage is anything to go by, this is going to be a luxury hotspot redefining Sandton nightlife.
MIRA Sandton
We can already tell this is going to be one of the hottest new restaurants in Sandton. After weeks of mouthwatering teasers on social media that kept followers up all night, Mira opened its doors on 25 November 2025. The menu focuses on Portuguese and Mozambican cuisine, but with a very luxurious twist.
Kolonaki Greek Kouzina
Kolonaki recently opened a second location in Bryanston after the overwhelming success of their Parkhurst branch. They're masters of Greek cuisine, if we do say so ourselves, elevating traditional dishes to a level of flavour that words can't adequately describe. Expect to be making your next dinner reservation while you're still sitting at the table.
Burger Bros
After wild success in Norwood, Burger Bros has just opened its doors in Fourways, and we couldn't be more thrilled. Juicy patties, fluffy buns, and crispy fries are our love language, and we're feeling quite adored.
Roti & Chai
We're excited about this one! Roti & Chai is opening its first-ever branch in Rosebank, bringing Durban’s favourite Indian street food to the city. From flavour-packed roti to spicy chaat, it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavours and high on our to-try list.
Love Matcha
Love Matcha is a funky, colourful matcha cafe branded as the best in Cape Town. Lucky for us Joburgers, they'll be launching a new location at Sandown Retail Crossing Centre on 11 October. If you're a matcha fan like we are, this is a spot to bookmark!
YUMI Cafe
YUMI has launched a new location in Fourways Mall, and if you're not already on your way there, it's time to get in the car. The menu includes a massive selection of bubble teas, fruity iced drinks, and tasty Asian-inspired bites loaded with all our favourite sweet treats!

Forking Good
Forking Good recently opened its doors for the first time in Bryanston, and it's the perfect addition to the neighbourhood! The menu is diverse, packed with both incredible versions of classic staples and tantalising, extravagant plates. The energy is lively, the portions large, and the flavours...well. It's in the name.
SLAPS Sandos
SLAPS opened brand new locations in Pineslopes and Parkhurst just a few weeks ago, and it's all we've been hearing about ever since. The burger and fries combo is eternal for a reason, and even the packaging looks delicious. Whether you're team banh mi, juicy lamb, falafel, or crispy chicken, you'll want to keep coming back here!
