Pappas is an award winning, family owned restaurant located on the Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton. We believe in fresh, quality produce and innovative, well-presented dishes. While we still offer a wide-variety of traditional Greek dishes, our Mediterranean menu has evolved with the history of the restaurant spanning over three decades.

Pappas boasts a 100 seater private dining room for events overlooking the iconic Nelson Mandela statue. The restaurant is also available to be hired out for private and corporate functions with a capacity of up to 215pax. Burning of whiskey, breaking of plates: Traditional Greek entertainment is available upon request.

We look forward to welcoming you and your guests to Pappas so you may enjoy every generosity our restaurant and experienced staff have to offer.

    We ordered a seafood platter that included a baby lobster. It was burnt and when we asked out waiter to take it back to the kitchen, the kitchen told him that is how it’s made so instead replaced it with a Tiger Prawn. Not sure the only way to serve baby lobster is burnt especially when that’s the most expensive part of the platter.

    Incredible service and delicious food! We thoroughly enjoyed their Kleftiko and Ekme Kataifi. There is also a wide range of cocktails that were crafted so well. A highlight for us was the entertainment (dancing, music and plate breaking), in true greek style!
