The business for sale is recognised as a quaint café serving a variety of dishes, including Indian cuisine and traditional café meals.
The business, established as the first Halal café in Bedford, is extremely popular in the multi-cultural community and is often at full capacity.
The café is based from high-quality premises and the business is for sale on a leasehold basis.
The café operates from a fashionable establishment with a contemporary feel. The business is renowned for its niche Indian street food and bespoke snacks as well as traditional café items. The business also has a 'slush puppies’ machine which is popular with younger customers.
The café is compact and cosy, comprising of 20 covers with the option of 12 seats externally in the summer months. The business is particularly popular in this season and, in the past, the business has stayed open till as late as 1 am due to the weather and popularity.
There is a counter with a till and a fridge behind, leading through to the kitchen which has a variety of commercial kitchen appliances to include, fryers, freezers, fridges, and a microwave. All fixtures and fittings are included in the sale.
To date, the business has seen success with purely word of mouth promotion, meaning it can be further profited from extra advertising.
The business is present online, however, the site is minimalistic, so there is a keen opportunity to improve the website’s design; which could be used to promote certain aspects of the menu and enable bookings. This would give the business further exposure along with the opportunity to market to a wider audience.
At present, the café offers no delivery service: a new buyer could thus partner a relationship with upcoming food delivery services such as UberEats and Deliveroo, exposing the bar to a younger audience.
The current owner is also willing to stay on for a transitional period, if needed, to show a new buyer how the business operates.
