A brand new Indian sports bar and grill has opened in the Gornal Wood area of Dudley.
Tapri Bar and Grill opened their doors to locals on Thursday 12 January, providing them with the ideal spot to have their favourite curry while keeping up with the sport.
Set on the old ground of The Bull’s Head on Himley Road, Tapri is the new family-friendly sports bar serving authentic North Indian cuisine, and a large selection of drinks.
The new venue promises to be a popular destination amongst sports fans, and with several TV screens and one huge projector screen, there’ll be plenty of matches to choose from.
As a brand, Tapri is growing fast. Owners, Raj Patel and Jas Singh launched their first Tapri Bar and Grill in Sutton Coldfield towards the end of the first Covid 19 lockdown in 2021.
Raj, who is from Wolverhampton, said: “Our Sutton Coldfield restaurant is doing very well so we thought it was time to spread the love and pop up somewhere closer to home.”
Jas added: “Like our Sutton venue, we will have a live kitchen, so our customers can see our talented chefs in action. We will be serving traditional Punjabi food – mixed grills, chicken tikka, lamb chops, seekh kebabs, lamb shank curry, as well as plenty of vegetarian options like lasooni paneer, saag and aloo gobi. There will be something for everyone.”
Veterans in the food and hospitality industry, Raj and Jas also own a number of coffee shops in Wolverhampton and Kettering, as well as pizza shops in Walsall and Coventry.
The pair enlisted Wolverhampton-based Interior Design firm, Ivy Seven Designs, to help transform the old pub. The new-look venue is now a stylish, modern bar and grill with room for 80 diners downstairs.
Upstairs, the old ‘Assembly Room’ has transformed into a stunning function room available for hire for up to 40 people, with dramatic lighting and pops of orange.
Tapri Bar and Grill is open from 4pm to 11pm on Monday to Friday, 12pm to 11pm on Saturdays, and 12pm to 9.30pm on Sundays. For more information visit www.tapribargrill.co.uk or visit their Instagram.
