An Indian-origin chef has opened an Indian restaurant named ‘Papadoms’ with Bollywood theme in Britain. The chef was actually inspired by India’s road side dhabas that dot the national highways.

Offering Indian street food, the Bollywood themed Papadoms restaurant is located at High Street West complex in Sunderland city, reported Sunderland Echo news portal.

Sanjeev Sanghara, executive chef and owner of Papadoms restaurant said that Sunderland was the perfect place for the restaurant creating a minimum of 30 part-time jobs in the Sunderland city. Sanghara also said that he plans to unveil a chain of Papadoms restaurants in the near future. The chef also noted that there is a huge opportunity and many chances to introduce novel style of cuisine to Sunderland.

Sanghara was quoted as saying that, “Most of the menu which also features handi and tiffin options is inspired by a trip to India.”

"We launched the Papadoms pilot here to test new ideas in the market. There is a lot of competition from other Indian restaurants at this site,” Sanghara added.

The chef’s family owns two Indian restaurants that are traditional in Scotland.
