New restaurant sets course to spice up Thurcroft

Entrepreneurial brothers Mamun and Masum Ali have established restaurants across South and West Yorkshire with their Goa Spice franchise.

Mamun said: “We are very excited to be expanding our reach into a great new location in Thurcroft.

"Goan cuisine consists of regional foods of the Goan state, which is located along India's west coast on the shore of the Arabian Sea. It is sure to spice things up in Thurcroft.”

The restaurant is located in the former Double Barrel steakhouse bar and restaurant, on Woodhouse Green, which closed its doors in February.

The venue, which is also licenced, will serve Indian lager on draught, plus a range of additional bottled refreshments and a selection of wines from around the world.

The restaurtant is set to open its doors and welcome its first customers in June.

Masum said, “We will be investing over £60,000 in new specialist kitchen equipment, mood lighting and authentic décor, everything down to the tablecloths are really high end as we want to compliment the building as much as possible.

"The menu is extensive, and we believe we have created affordable luxury for the local community to enjoy.”

“Our chefs have a real passion for creating quality Goan spicy food using fresh ingredients that will spice up you're evening.

“To add further value, we will be offering a collection and delivery service so you can enjoy Goan cuisine in the comfort of your own home.”
