Plans for a new Indian restaurant in Long Eaton have been welcomed by residents and workers alike. Work is underway to convert the property in High Street, which has been vacant for over a year.
The restaurant will be located between Cafe Delight and One Stop Bargains, in the former premises of training provider ProStart. Details are sketchy about the curry house - a handwritten cardboard sign in the window reads: "Opening soon Naz Indian restaurant and takeaway" but there's nothing promoting it on social media.
The business will face competition from existing Indian restaurants Al Naseeb in Market Place, Ghurkha Express, in Tamworth Road, and Land of the Five Rivers in Derby Road. The premises are two doors away from Rowells Drinking Emporium. Bar manager Tyrell Gaunt is all for the new venture and hopes it will benefit the micro pub. He said: "I was told they have one in Leicester as well. Anything that breathes new life into Long Eaton is welcome."
