Pushkar celebrates 5th birthday with launch of a new restaurant

Award-winning Indian fine dining restaurant, Pushkar Cocktail Bar & Dining on Broad Street will officially celebrate its 5th anniversary with the launch of a new restaurant venture in Edgbaston, to be named ‘Praza by Pushkar'.

A substantial six-figure investment, Praza by Pushkar in Edgbaston, which was formerly the Rose Murree restaurant, will have an art deco inspired aesthetic with monochrome colourways, glass and chrome, creating a chic and luxurious feel.

Praza will continue Pushkar's celebration of North Indian Cuisine, but with hopes to bring worldwide restaurant ideas to Birmingham. Director, Rai Singh, also plans to bring an innovative grilling menu to Praza.

The new menu will be masterminded by Pushkar's award winning Head Chef, Bishal Rasaily, and will feature meats unusual for Indian cuisines, like pigeon, rabbit and lobster.

The new venture comes on the back of great success that Pushkar has experienced since launching five years ago in 2009. Director, Rai Singh, who had no previous experience in the restaurant industry, headed the concept for Pushkar and proved it to be a very successful one.

Pushkar's elegant and sophisticated décor and ambiance coupled with its authentic yet refined Indian menu, changed people's common perception of the Birmingham curry house. Pushkar's innovation injected a new energy into the Broad Street scene and has inspired many other businesses on Broad Street to follow suit.

Pushkar's Creative Director, Rai Singh said:

"Initially, my concept for Pushkar was seen as something of a risk and the board of Broad Street directors took a little convincing. I, however, was confident throughout and felt strongly that this was exactly what it needed. I just knew that the concept would work, and it did."

Pushkar recently represented Birmingham as the Curry Capital of Britain for National Curry Week for a second year running and has also been shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious 2014 British Curry Awards.

The new restaurant, Praza by Pushkar, *is scheduled to open early in 2015. To stay up-to-date, *visit the Twitter page.
