Business Overview:
Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer for sale this extremely popular destination restaurant with excellent further potential.
The business has been owned by the vendors for over 3 years and is only now being reluctantly offered to the market as he wishes to find a restaurant nearer to his home to avoid the traveling.
The restaurant offers a large varied range of authentic Indian and Bangladeshi dishes plus a range of alcoholic beverages as they benefit from a full alcohol license.
The premises are decorated to an exceptionally high standard with up to 70 covers in the air conditioned restaurant and bar area plus a comfortable waiting area with seating for up to eight.
The restaurant, which has recently been totally refurbished, employs 10 full time staff and 2 part timers who work approximately 12 hours per week each and it achieves an excellent weekly turnover of approximately £6,500. In fact, the restaurant is so busy on Friday’s and Saturday’s that they will only take telephone bookings because of the very high demand.
The business asks all customers to complete a satisfaction questionnaire with ratings for food quality, service etc. Most rate the food and service as excellent and that they come to the restaurant because of personal recommendation.
The restaurant only uses fresh produce, which ensures quality standards are maintained at all, times.
Its large commercial kitchen includes:
Tandoor oven
2 industrial microwaves
4 chest freezers
1 gas and 1 electric hot cupboard
12 ring gas cooker with ovens under
Walk in fridge/cold room

The rooms have their own independent access, which does not impinge on the restaurant in any way.
