Naan Sense is a dining concept that looks set to take Johannesburg’s fine dining scene to new heights. Described as “an orchestra on your palate”, this experience launches on Saturday, 16 August at Shepstone Gardens near Parktown. Here’s what we know.
All about Naan Sense
Naan Sense invites you to a fine dining experience unlike any other. Set in the breathtaking Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg, this immersive culinary event reimagines Durban Indian cuisine through the lens of luxury and molecular gastronomy.
Seven extraordinary courses—each a theatrical act—are paired with a live orchestra and crafted beverages. Choose between two distinct tasting journeys: The Jungle Garden, which is a vegetarian escape, or The Beach Front, celebrating fresh seafood.
We’re not here to play it safe. You might dine blindfolded. You might eat in silence. It’s surreal, nostalgic, unforgettable.
Begin the evening with Silk Hour, a sensorial prelude that awakens the palate and the imagination. The food isn’t just plated, it’s performed.
