The long-established Dhaka Indian restaurant in Ipswich town centre is on the market.

The current business owner is planning to retire, and would like to hand the popular restaurant over to someone who will run the same type of business.

The Grade II listed Dhaka in Orwell Place, which has a five-star rating, is being marketed by Penn Commercial, on a new lease at £39,000 per year exclusive.

It has built up a fine reputation for its Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine over the years, having operated since 1984.
