A popular in takeaway has announced its immediate closure – but left customers hopeful they may relocate rather than stop permanently.

Amonbagh, on Sharoe Green Lane in Fulwood, is an Indian takeaway that won two Lancashire Post reader-voted awards in 2019.

However, they have now announced their closure citing ‘complications’ on the lease and the global business climate. More than 6,000 hospitality businesses closed in the UK in 2023.

Owners vowed to keep their customers updated on their next venture and location – but there are currently no details on where or what this might be,

In a statement, the restaurant said: “Regretfully, I must inform you that Amonbagh has ceased trading.

“This decision has been taken predominantly due to complications in our lease which is coming to an end. We will keep our loyal customer’s updated soon on our next venture and it’s location.

“On behalf of Amonbagh team, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued loyalty in choosing us as your takeaway for the many years. Without your support, our success would not have been possible but under the current global business climate, we have been left with no option but to close and cease trading.

“Thank you once again for the loyal and continuous support you have shown us over the years we have been trading.”
