The restaurant has become a staple in North End, Portsmouth, establishing itself as a popular destination for its loyal customers.

When looking at how the high street around them has changed, co-owner Zilu Miah is thankful for the support they have received over the years.

As a small boy Zilu would stop by to buy burgers in the American-style café that was in the space when he grew up, never envisaging that this is where his future would be.

However, on February 1, 2006, he opened the Blue Cobra and it was a hit from their opening.
