Aigburth
restaurant gets major makeover for 2008
One of
Liverpool's oldest and most popular Indian restaurants has been
transformed as part of a major refurbishment.
Mustafa and
Salina Rahman, owners of the Gulshan on Aigburth Road, have invested
a six-figure sum into their business to create an additional fifty
covers on the restaurant's newly opened first floor and transform the
interior design throughout.
The original
bar downstairs has been replaced, a spacious new reception area added
and a substantial second drinks area built on the first floor.
"The
Gulshan has been very successful thanks to our customers and we
really wanted to give something back to them", said Mustafa
Rahman, "In moving towards Capital of Culture year, we
believed it was the perfect opportunity to totally renovate and
expand the business, allowing the appearance of the restaurant to
reflect the high standard of the food served."
For the past
ten years, the Gulshan has featured in the prestigious Michelin Guide
and has also been voted "Best in the North" twice in the
Good Curry Guide. The restaurant, which was established in 1986 , has
also been listed as one of the top 50 restaurants in the country by
The Independent newspaper.
Mustafa
added: "My father would be proud. He set up Liverpool's first
Indian restaurant in the early 1960s. As a family business, we are
committed to creating an exciting, brighter environment while still
retaining the original Gulshan charm and atmosphere that has made
this business so successful for such a long time."
