TAKE a look inside Carlisle’s newly-revamped Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant which is preparing to open its doors in the ‘coming weeks’.
Newly transformed Indigo 7, based in Denton Holme, will offer a wide range of traditional Indian favourites alongside Bangladeshi-inspired dishes and the chef’s own signature creations.
The family-run restaurant has taken over the long-standing site at 92 Denton Street, a location that has been home to Indian restaurants for decades.
According to the owners, the decision to relaunch the venue came after encouragement from local residents, former customers and friends who were keen to see the restaurant reopen.

The owners said: “This has been an Indian restaurant for many years and we’ve had lots of people telling us they would love to see it reopen.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming both old customers and new faces.”
The menu will feature popular dishes such as korma, madras and other classic curries, as well as a number of special recipes developed by the kitchen team.
One standout addition will be the restaurant’s ‘Indigo Secret 7’ dish.

While maintaining the traditional dishes customers know and love, the family also hopes to introduce more authentic Bangladeshi flavours to the menu.
The family said: “We want to keep the favourites that everyone enjoys, but also bring something a little different and showcase more Bangladeshi-style cooking.”
The family has recently refurbished the restaurant and commissioned artwork from a Carlisle-based artist to create a welcoming atmosphere.

Indigo 7 has plans to operate six days a week from Tuesday to Sunday, but the restaurant will be closed on Mondays, except for bank holidays.
The family is optimistic about the new venture and is determined to provide high-quality dishes.
They said: “We’re really excited to get started and do our best to give customers a great experience.”
