By GlobalDataRoti King CEO Ganan Kanagathurai stated: “Roti King has always been about more than food. It’s about the emotional connection between people, culture and community.
“We’re excited to be part of Edinburgh’s incredible independent food scene and to share the passion and creativity of Malaysia with a city that appreciates honest, authentic, flavourful food.”
The site’s fit-out will retain the building’s original features and existing brickwork, and include murals and graffiti inspired by Malaysian streets.
Roti King was founded by chef Sugen Gopal, who moved to the UK in 2004 and began trading from a small kiosk in Oriental City, Colindale in north London.
The business opened its inaugural restaurant in Euston in 2014 and now operates multiple London locations.
Opening hours for the Edinburgh restaurant will be 11.30am to 10pm Sunday to Thursday, and 11.30am to 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
