Well-known for their site in South Shields as well as in Sunniside in Gateshead, family business Namaste has now opened on Sunderland seafront.

There's been a major transformation of the old Shagorika site on Queens Parade, which traded for 44 years, making it one of the longest-running Indian restaurants in the city.

It opened as Namaste Prosecco Bay Lounge four weeks ago and owner Razz Ahmed said there's been lots of former Shagorika customers coming to check out the new addition.

"The likes of Moti Raj and Shagorika have done so much for the community over the years," said Razz.

"So many people have memories of Shagorika over the years.
