Norwich's newest Asian restaurant is now on the hunt for staff as it prepares to open its doors for the first time early next year.

My Makan will open above the Evans Cycles shop in Westlegate in 2023 serving authentic Malaysian dishes.

And the eatery is planning a big launch party with a visit from a Malaysian consulate official to help open its doors.

It will be opened by Mathew Wilcox, who has lived in Norwich since 2018, and his two business partners Imran Abidin and Turki Bin Afif, who are based in Saudi Arabia.

Mr Wilcox said: "There is no other Malaysian restaurant in this area and Thai cuisine is popular here, so people already have a taste for Asian food - I can't wait to open the restaurant."

In preparation for the opening the restaurant is searching for front-of-house and kitchen staff with anyone interested urged to apply by emailing admin@mymakan.co.uk.
