An impressive new Indian restaurant has opened in Swansea city centre in a popular dining spot. Castle Spice fills an empty unit on Castle Street previously occupied by Pizza Express, Positano Express and, most recently, AM to PM bar and is a family-run business serving traditional Indian meals and a wide range of drinks and cocktails.
It's the brainchild of Kobi Ahmed, 33, and his brother Jaher Ali, 21, and the pair's father works in the kitchen as one of the two Head Chefs. Manager Kobi previously ran Cinnamon, a popular Indian restaurant in Carmarthen, and had been looking to take on a restaurant unit in Swansea as he wanted to be working closer to home.
"I used to run a restaurant in Carmarthen but I live in Swansea and wanted to be closer to my children," Kobi said. "This unit became available and me, Jaher and Leon Hogan, our business partner who previously ran AM to PM and Positano Express, took it on and turned it into an Indian restaurant."
