A South Shields Indian restaurant has announced it will close temporarily in August to make way for on-site work.
Namaste on the town’s King George Road opened in 2016 and will see changes over the coming weeks.
An update to customers on social media from the site said: “Namaste South Shields will be closed for a few days in August for a full refurbishment and the launch of our exciting new menu. The exact dates will be confirmed soon.”
To keep customers excited, the restaurant included their plans for a reopening party including live music and complimentary food.
