June 2011 - Following on from the other successful sites in Disley and Poynton, Purple Pakora restaurant chain has been granted planning permission to transform the former Basmati Restaurant on Brabyns Brow, Marple Bridge into its latest exciting new restaurant.

Work is due to start on the site soon and the restaurant is anticipated to be open mid July serving the same high standard authentic modern Indian cuisine which it is well known for in the area.

The Purple Pakora worked with DV8 Designs who were the driver behind obtaining planning permission by producing a building that is both exciting and new whilst giving thought for the immediate area. The building is to have a complete facelift to include all new timber cladding and circular windows to dramatically improve the look of the existing site. The interior will reflect the modern food on offer and will of course include the infamous “bubble walf”, a bank of tanks that creates a dramatic effect.

Lee Birchall, Managing Director, DV8 Designs: “With over 20 years experience in the architectural and interior design business we were able to hit the ground running with this project. We have successfully contributed to a restaurant design that will look great now and for years to come.”

“We have really enjoyed working with Bob Bakht from Purple Pakora and look forward to working with him and his team on future projects.”continued Lee.

DV8 won’t have to wait long as the company has just announced its plans to expand the chain further and are hoping to open a fourth restaurant in Congleton in the coming months, a great achievement in this current economic climate. What do they contribute to their success? Bob Bakht, owner says “We serve authentic Indian cuisine that is consistently of a high standard. Coupled with our excellent customer service, diners invariably come back for more.”
