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 had a fabulous light dinner here after a day of traveling. Great staff, good food, fun cocktails & wine. Try the smashed potato small plate/side.

    I think our waitron (Innocent) didn’t give us the attention I would’ve liked to feel well taken care off, so points go down for service. Other than that, I think the ambiance is great and the value is reasonable. The food was “meh”; some items were fresh and tasted great, while others (the spinach) was stale and offish on flavor. Overall, the experience was decent.
