Italian restaurant to replace Gulshan near Liverpool Street

A start-up Italian restaurant is to replace the Gulshan Indian restaurant close to Liverpool St station in London.

The 1,088 sq ft ground floor restaurant and basement at 11 Sandy’s Row, E1 which previously served contemporary Indian food and was popular with City workers.

The new Italian restaurant, backed by a syndicate of private investors, will open on 14 July.

It has taken an assignment of the existing lease which expires in July 2018 at a rent of £50,000 per year.

Sally French who brokered the deal for Restaurant Property said: “The area between Liverpool Street and Brick Lane in the City was traditionally regarded as a bit off pitch, but it has always had an eclectic mix of great little restaurants that have been favourites with City workers and local residents. Recent regeneration means it has become much more sought after by bigger operators now too.”
