Celebrity Chef Acquires The Suburban Pantry in Edinburgh!

Bruce & Co. are delighted to announce that celebrity chef, Tommy Miah, has acquired The Suburban Pantry in Blackhall – one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential suburbs. Tommy Miah established the award-winning ‘Raj Restaurant’ in Edinburgh more than 20 years ago, and is the founder of the International Indian Chef of the Year Competition.

The business was under the ownership of the vendors’, Mr Orr and Ms Laing, since 2010 and they decided to place the business on the market due to other commitments.

The premises holds a prominent position on one of the main routes to the Forth Road Bridge, offering 38 covers.

The restaurant generated good levels of interest with 5 viewings, before being sold to the renowned celebrity chef. Tommy Miah comments: “I was very impressed with Safa Sultan (Sales Negotiator at Bruce & Co.) – the way she handled the sale, the negotiating between both parties, and making sure everything went smoothly”

Safa Sultan, Sales Negotiator at Bruce & Co. comments “We are extremely pleased that Tommy Miah has acquired the Suburban Pantry. We are looking forward to seeing the transformation, and what the exciting new restaurant will have to offer!”
