The duo behind the award-winning restaurant, Lasan, are preparing to launch their latest venture in the heart of Birmingham's business district in Colmore Row, creating 50 jobs.
The new venue will sit next to Pure Bar and Kitchen in a part of the city which has become increasingly popular with food and drink firms, with the likes of Fumo and The Bureau nearby.
Lasan chef director, Aktar Islam (pictured left) and property developer, Anthony McCourt (right) also opened Indian street food cafe, Raja Monkey and Argentinian Fiesta Del Asado in recent years.
Lasan was named the best local restaurant in the UK by Gordon Ramsey's Channel 4 television show The F Word in 2010 while Islam has also been a winner on the Great British Menu on BBC2.
