Geoff
Boycott Opens The Batting!
|
Sunday 9th
July saw the official opening of the recently refurbished Garforth
branch of the Aagrah Restaurant Group following a complete makeover
of the kitchens and restaurant.
During the
June closure a skilled creative design team moved in and transformed
the traditional look to a contemporary Kashmiri interior with the
subtle use of dark wood, pastel shades and interesting "object d'art"
The party was
attended by over 200 guests which included The Lord Mayor of Leeds,
Councillor Mohammed Iqbal and Sir Geoffrey Boycott, who with his wife
Rachel were entertained to lunch and thereby became the very first
diners in the new and stylish restaurant. Traditional musicians and
dancers graced the car park with dance from the Indian sub-continent,
whilst dodging the odd rain drop in front of "Lulu" the
Aagrah elephant mascot.
The full
Aagrah a la carte menu continues to be served at Garforth. From early
next week customers will also be able to personally select their
favourite fish from a mouth-watering "fruits of the sea" display.
Mohammed Aslam
and his team of chefs have devised a range of delicate sauces and
marinades, with influences from the cuisines of Goa, Kashmir and Sindh.
Customers will
be able to select their fish and then have this personally cooked and
served to the table.
