Eating at Gezina Lifestyle Centre, with what the centre publishes and what it does not.
Gezina Lifestyle Centre has one restaurant: a Nando's drive-thru. That is the honest answer, and it is worth giving straight rather than padding a page to look fuller than the centre is. This centre is built around home, building and specialist retail, and food is not what it is for. What follows is what is actually there, what the centre does offer if you are hungry, and where to go instead if you want a meal out.
Counts are of stores listed in the centres’ own published directories, not of every business in Gezina.

Learn more →Nando's Gezina Drive Thru is the centre's only restaurant tenant and the only drive-thru in either of Gezina's shopping centres. The centre publishes the outlet and a telephone number, 012 335 4604, in its tenant directory.
It does not publish trading hours for it. Every other food-related tenant in that directory carries hours, so this is a gap in the source rather than a sign the outlet is closed or that its hours are unusual. This page will not fill the gap with a guess, an estimate drawn from other branches, or the centre's own trading hours. If you are planning around it, phone the number above. That is a short answer, and it is the accurate one.
The centre itself trades Monday to Friday 08:00 to 18:00 and Saturday and Sunday 08:00 to 17:00, at 358 Steve Biko Road. A drive-thru does not necessarily keep the same hours as the centre it sits in, and often keeps longer ones, so the centre's times should not be read as the outlet's.
Because there is one restaurant, the useful thing this page can do is be clear about which needs the centre meets and which it does not.

This table compares only what each centre publishes about itself. Parking, wheelchair access and similar facilities are not listed because neither centre publishes them, and an accessibility claim is not something to infer. Confirm with the centre before travelling if it matters.
Individual store hours can differ from the centre’s. Where a trip depends on it, confirm with the store itself.

Against Gezina Galleries. The other centre in the suburb has eight food tenants: one family restaurant, one cafe and six takeaway counters, with trading hours running from 07:00 in the morning to 22:00 on a Saturday night. If eating is the point of the trip, that is the centre for it. This one is not, and pretending otherwise would waste your time.
Against cooking at home. This is the comparison this centre actually wins. Three producer outlets selling direct, in one place, with parking. For a braai or a bulk shop, driving here and cooking at home is a better use of the trip than looking for a restaurant that is not here.
Against a drive-thru elsewhere. If a drive-thru specifically is what you want, this is the only one in the verified set for the suburb. Whether it is open when you arrive is the open question, and only a phone call answers it.
Why the centre is like this. Gezina Lifestyle Centre describes itself as leaning toward home, building and specialist retail rather than general shopping. Its tenant mix matches that description: hardware, electrical, flooring, bedding, homeware and food producers. A single quick-service outlet is consistent with a centre people visit with a task in mind and leave once it is done.
This page does not rate the one restaurant here, and with a single outlet there is nothing to rank it against locally.
Check what each centre is actually for. The wrong one for a specialist purchase is the most common wasted trip.
Check opening hours, parking and peak times before you go. Access routes differ between the centres.
Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, as you would anywhere.
Shopping locally keeps trade and jobs in the suburb rather than sending them elsewhere.
Use the quick links above, or the emergency numbers page if you need assistance.
The centre's own trading hours and address come from Gezina Lifestyle Centre's published information and carry the date they were last checked. The restaurant's telephone number comes from the same directory. Its trading hours do not appear there at all, and no substitute has been used.
This is worth being explicit about, because a missing fact is easy to paper over. Of the food and food-retail tenants recorded for this centre, this outlet is the only one without published hours. The others all carry day-labelled times from the same directory. So the absence is specific to this listing, and the most likely explanation is simply that the centre has not published them, not that anything has changed at the outlet.
On prices, this site publishes a figure only where it is currently visible on a first-party source. The centre publishes no menu or pricing for the outlet. National brand pricing is published by the brand itself and is frequently different from delivery platform pricing for the same item.
Two things the directory does not state and this page does not assume: whether the drive-thru also has a walk-in counter and seating, and whether it trades on public holidays. Both are ordinary questions and neither has a published answer.
If you want the drive-thru, phone 012 335 4604 before driving over. Its hours are the one thing this page cannot tell you, and we would rather say so than have you arrive on an assumption.
If you want a meal out with a choice of what to eat, the other centre in the suburb is the trip to make. Eight food tenants and a much longer trading day.
If you are already coming here for hardware, homeware or bedding, the three factory shops are the food stop that fits this centre. Pork, seafood and dairy, direct from the producer, in the same complex.
If you can tell us this outlet's trading hours from the business itself, please do. It is the single most useful correction anyone could send us for this page, and it would let us replace a stated gap with a sourced fact. Corrections from the business are welcome and are usually the quickest for us to confirm and publish.
