The interior is filled with the brand’s bright and bold oranges and greens and uses recycled materials including off-cut British timber waste, which has been used to create the tabletops, while three hand-painted murals adorn the walls.
The team confirmed the restaurant is BYOB, with their authentic lunchtime Tiffin lunch boxes on offer for those on the go between 12 pm-4 pm and a sociable sharing-style menu available in the evening from 12 pm-10 pm.
As part of their commitment to charity, Tuk Tuk has committed to adding a discretionary fee of 50p per table to all bills which goes directly to their partner charity, Scottish Love in Action (SLA), which provides meals to vulnerable children in India and so far, the restaurants collectively have raised over £26,000 which equates to 119,845 meals.
