They have now opened a new restaurant called Bombai, which serves authentic Indian street food in the former home of The Bengal Spice at 38-40 St Benedicts Street.
The menu is split into small plates, tandoori street plates with marinated meats, roadside curries, nibbles and side dishes, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available.
Mr Murria said: "The new restaurant is unlike anywhere else in Norfolk and it serves proper Indian food you would find served on the roadside.
