Shailesh Vara MP recently opened a new Indian restaurant in Sawtry, Huntingdonshire.

The Shampan Masala restaurant is owned by Mr Ayna Yasin and is based in Greenways, Sawtry and provides a dine-in, as well as take-away service.

The opening was attended by local business people as well as some of the restaurant’s staff.

Following the opening, Mr Vara said:

“Indian food is very popular and there is always room for another good restaurant. It was a pleasure to do the official opening and I am especially pleased that the restaurant is employing some local people. I particularly liked one of the curries and will doubtless be making more visits in the future.”

Owner of the restaurant, Mr Ayna Yasin added:

“We were delighted that Mr Vara was able to join us and perform the official opening.

Opening a new business is never easy but we have so far had a good response and hopefully matters will improve as more people get to know about us. We are very grateful to the community for their support.”
