A BRORA restaurateur has applied for planning consent to extend into an adjoining property.
Syed Miah, who runs Sid’s Spice, the Indian Restaurant and takeaway in Station Square, is hoping to take over the former Blisss beauty salon.
The salon is located to the rear of the restaurant, directly opposite the railway station. It is intended that the it will become the new takeaway. Drawings lodged with the planning application show that an outside decked eating area is planned.
Mr Miah opened the 40-cover restaurant and takeaway in 2014, having previously ran fast-food outlet Cafe Spice in Rossyln Street.
In May last year Sid’s Spice was named by The Herald national newspaper as the second best Indian restaurant in Scotland.
It was one of only two in Scotland to make it onto the winning list with the other the Saffron Indian in the Highland capital.
Herald journalist Alex Burns wrote: “With a population of just over 1000 people, the rural Sutherland village of Brora isn’t the first place you would expect to find a sought-after Indian restaurant and takeaway. But that is exactly what Sid’s Spice offers, with fresh, flavoursome food that is widely admired for its quality.”
