The wife of an Indian takeaway boss has launched her own restaurant a few doors down in centre of Canterbury.

Urban Wok Box has already welcomed its first customers - and there are already plans to franchise the Pan Asian eatery.

Vandy Kaur, 42, came up with the concept this year and decided to move into the former Between the Lines store in St Margaret’s Street, in the city.

She follows in the footsteps of her husband Diljeet Singh, who opened Wrapchic earlier this year in The Parade nearby.

Ms Kaur said: "We have had really good feedback and all of the customers have been really happy with the food and service.

"We have started the delivery on Deliveroo and we are just waiting for the others to come back.

"It was quite challenging initially but now I am really enjoying it. Things are settling down and the staff have been trained so I’m quite happy now."

She is also looking to franchise the takeaway and is eyeing-up locations in London and Sussex.

Ms Kaur believes the concept is unique to the city as it offers a selection of different Asian cuisines all in one store.

The eatery’s website states: "Urban Wok Box’s mission is to create an affordable healthy Pan Asian fast food offering that caters to vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers alike.

"Unique fusion dishes blend the flavours of Thai, Indonesian, Chinese, Malaysian, Indian and Japanese cuisine into delicious box meal.

"The fresh, tasty dishes are ready to serve in minutes and can be enjoyed on the go or in-store."

Customers choose either a small, medium or large box - then select plain rice, veg fried rice or wok noodles as a base.

A variety of fillings are on offer, including sweet and sour chicken, Thai green curry, fiery tofu and chicken katsu curry.

Customers can also select “nibbles” to go with their meal, such as spicy chicken wings or a spring roll.

Urban Wok Box is open between 11am and 7pm all week.
