Expanded Indian restaurant opens in Burnham-On-Sea

A newly-expanded Indian restaurant opened its doors for the first time in the centre of Burnham-On-Sea on Monday evening (November 24th).

Burnham's Mayor and Mayoress were among the special guests at the opening of Chandni's new larger premises in the High Street.

Peter and Jo Burridge-Clayton cut a customary ribbon to officially open the new restuarant, helped by manager Gopal Ganaprakash and waiter Huk, as pictured above.

Chandni moved into the larger, fully modernised premises next to its old base at 54 High Street after Regency Joes moved out in August.

Gopal told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We've spent several months redecorating the premises and hope our customers are as pleased with the final result as us."

"It's always been our dream to expand and the new premises are ideal. We've also introduced a new menu to mark the occasion."

Cllr Burridge-Clayton added: "It's good to see businesses having plenty of confidence to invest in Burnham despite the difficult economic conditions. I am sure Chandni will thrive and wish them all the best."

The opening came during Britain's tenth annual National Curry Week, which celebrates the country's passion for Indian food from November 23rd to 30th.
