An Asian grill and cocktails restaurant is set to replace a former shop in Perth city centre. Imran Mohammed, 36, has applied to open Shish in County Place at the former John Ferguson – Work and Leisure shop, which has been closed for around three years. It would be run by his brother Hassan, 26, who would also offer a takeaway service via the Just Eat app.
Shish would serve authentic tandoori food from a hot grill pan. “It would be like a charcoal grill,” Imran told The Courier. “You get this type of thing in Glasgow and Edinburgh but there’s nothing like this in at the moment.
” Imran, who lives in the Western Edge, also hopes the restaurant’s cocktail menu will tempt locals to make a night of it. The restaurant’s opening hours would be noon to 11pm, seven days a week. Takeaways would be available until 1am.
The brothers first need to grant planning permission and a premises licence. Imran says that if these can be achieved swiftly the restaurant could open in August. His supporting statement said: “Fixed or non-fixed seating will be provided so that customers can sit and use the premises in a typical restaurant fashion.
“The selling of alcohol on site to be consumed on-site with a meal only is intended. “The unit has been positioned away from the nearest dwellings and sits below an existing masonry wall to the north.” The council will determine .
