00:00My name is Michael Noor and we're at Noor Indian restaurant in North End London Road

00:06North End London Road Portsmouth. I'd just like to welcome everyone to our newly refurbished

00:12restaurant. Ironically I saw this open first time in 1978. I was a little boy coming and saw Mr.

00:22Rahman open the establishment as the Gulshan Indian restaurant. What makes it different? I think

00:29it's the experience you bring to the customers, the welcoming, the presentation,

00:37the menu. Our menu is very versatile in terms of we do a lot of fish, salmon, sea bass, prawns,

00:46we've got ostrich on the menu, we've got lamb, we've got different structure to the curry and

00:53different tastes. All the experience I gained and put it to make this menu a bit more different

01:01than the others. But you know hopefully it will bring more customers, you know your customers to

01:12come and try the different uh cuisine or the types of curry we have just to give you a taste of the

01:21difference experience that I gained during my travel through the curry industry.

01:27And is there a couple of menu items in mind that you uh that springs to mind in regards of uh what

01:34you expect uh what a normal speciality is or what's uh we we've been quite lucky um the local

01:41uh the British our curry country is korma and masala itself both but we have

01:51um with our menu the korma masala are not on the top ranking at the you know at the moment where other

01:58restaurants are um railway lamb is one we do the bengal curry we do home star cooking

02:06the jungle curry the lamb shank um the ostrich bazaar that is is the ostrich yes people say what

02:14part of India but um the one was flying and I think I caught it but it is on the menu um a real

02:21ostrich sir yes um so this is our thing but you can be cooked to any specification you like but we have

02:28our own recipe that we use on all the curries I mentioned very excited um every time I see a

02:35customer I always what school did you go to where did you go what clubbing did you do what restaurant

02:41did you go to because I've been missing that 25 years or 23 years of that gap I've had this is more

02:49exciting to me than um the menu and stuff coming back into the community mingling with them as the

02:58refurbishment took seven months we had a lot of followers to see what's going on because gulshan was

03:07a landmark in these days and people were eager to see what was happening and what was doing and when

03:15they come in they are very pleased with the menu the the decor the service and we've since we've been

03:22opened about six weeks now I think our sixth week and we've had many many many return customers and

03:29it's gone so well I've been inspected we go well as everyone's on a name term rather than sir and

03:36madam everyone knows our name and we know their names we're having a little talk here and there and

03:41little banters jokingly uh talking about all sorts of stuff so yes I'm very happy and hopefully they'll

03:48more venture into our menu um because it's a bit different than others a little bit different

03:57than others um hopefully they'll get used to it and um you know carry on with us
