Chesanyama is a popular South African fast-casual restaurant chain known for bringing the traditional shisanyama (braai) experience to shopping centers and urban areas. Founded in 2012 by Stelio Nathanael under the Gold Brands group, the brand quickly expanded across the country by offering affordable, flame-grilled meat meals.

The name “Chesanyama” comes from the Zulu phrase meaning “burn meat” or “braai meat.” The restaurant specializes in freshly grilled meats seasoned with local spices and flavors, making it a favorite choice for customers looking for tasty, authentic South African barbecue at reasonable prices.
