A sign on the door of the restaurant says that the business been evicted from the site by the landlord for the non payment of rent.

When it first opened, the restaurant’s bosses said their contemporary style venue would bring with it a relaxed atmosphere, regular events including live piano and a specials menu that would change to highlight and celebrate different global cuisines.

But today, a notice from the Leeds based legal firm Gordons, placed on the door on behalf of DPSK Ltd, confirmed it was closed, and that items left by the business inside the building would be sold off if they were not collected by May 24, with the money used to pay off any debts owed by the restaurant to the landlord.

The added: “We write to inform you that the lease has now been forfeited due to your failure to pay the rent due. Our client re-entered the premises on April 23.”

When it first opened last year, the restaurant was described as offering global cuisine at ‘affordable’ prices at the centre, which is near Mosborough. But it had not posted on its Facebook page since September.
