A new restaurant serving Indian cuisine is set to open in Reading town centre.
Preparation works have begun at Biryani Mama Bar & Restaurant in St Mary’s Butts, which is taking over the Ask Italian site after it closed in 2020.
Scaffolding remains after a new sign has been installed at the restaurant unit.
Ahead of opening, the owners of Biryani Mama have applied to sell food until midnight each night, and sell alcohol from 10am to midnight.
At the moment the restaurant does not have a fucntioning website or any social media presence, and appears to be an independent.
The Biryani Mama Ltd company was incorporated in August 2021, with Jayakumar Madanagopal and Laskmi Suresh listed as its directors on Company’s House.
The Ask Italian branch closed during the UK’s first coronavirus lockdown and did not reopen.
