Popular Indian restaurant Takdir has relocated to new larger seafront premises on East Parade, Whitley Bay, thanks to the help of Barclays. The restaurant, one of the longest serving in Whitley Bay after being established in 1979, is now run by second generation brothers Mamun and Suffian Rahman. Previously located 11 East Parade, the restaurant has moved to 7-8 East Parade, creating a contemporary seafront eatery and cocktail bar. Paul Smith, Barclays business banking manager, put together the funding package for the deal. He said: “It’s been fantastic to work with Mamun and Suffian and see their business grow and flourish.” “The new premises will provide them with more flexibility to expand for the future and they provide a first class offering in Indian cuisine to the local North East community.
