A new takeaway is opening in the former home of a furniture repair shop. 

Aroma Spice is set to open in 13 Burgh Road in Aylsham, previously occupied by PE Cole Upholstery.

The building has been vacant since June 2022. 

The Indian takeaway will be open seven days a week from 11am until 11pm and it is expected that around 12 jobs will be up for grabs when the business launches.

Towfiqur Lucky submitted a planning application for the shop in November 2022 and it was approved on October 13. 

The plans include changing the use of the property from retail to a hot food takeaway and the addition of an illuminated wall-mounted sign on the outside of the shop.

New posters have been placed in the windows of the building which confirm that the 'exclusive Indian takeaway' will be opening soon.
