This long-established Moseley Indian restaurant offers a turnkey operating base with fixtures, equipment and a strong local reputation built over decades. The business currently records weekly dry sales of £7,000–£10,000, primarily sit-down trade, with deliveries via major platforms; there are no staff liabilities and an option to expand revenue by reintroducing alcohol and extending opening days.
The premises seat 86, include a fitted commercial kitchen, cellar and walk-in cold room, plus five off-street parking spaces. A new FRI lease for 10 years will be granted with an annual rent of £32,000 and business rates around £9,000. The sellers are retiring and the sale excludes the trading name, so rebranding or cuisine change is possible.
Important drawbacks are clear: the lease term is limited to 10 years which will likely stop many mortgage lenders from lending on the purchase. The business currently trades five days only and does not hold an active alcohol licence, both restricting current turnover. The location sits within a very deprived local area and recorded crime is above average; buyers should factor local trading conditions into their plans.
For an owner-operator or investor prepared to invest modestly and extend trading, this site offers immediate trading capacity in a high-profile Moseley position, equipment included, and quick upside by restoring alcohol sales, longer opening hours, or using the first floor (available separately) to add capacity or accommodation.
