Popular Southport restaurant celebrates 5 years of service with a new dining deal

The popular venue, at 1-5 Lord Street, has recently expanded its opening hours to seven days a week, now opening on Mondays. Diners can enjoy a 25% discount every Monday during October to celebrate. 

Kalash Divine Indian in Southport recently updated its menu with some tasty new street food and delicious new dishes to wow customers.

The sophisticated Indian restaurant has also undergone a fresh new look, with a refurbishment that has included new furniture, new wallpaper and more.

It’s part of an ongoing renaissance taking place at the southern section of the historic Lord Street boulevard.

While there has been huge investment in the ‘Northern Quarter’ at the top end of Lord Street in recent years, with new developments such as The Grand and the Lord Street Hotel, the southern end is now taking its turn in the spotlight.

Plans for 109 new hotel rooms, 12 luxury apartments, a spa and theatre at the Garrick, and for a new 30-bedroom Wetherspoon Hotel, both near Kalash, were approved earlier this year.

In the meantime, Kalash continues to be a trailblazer for quality independents at the southern end of the street. It’s no longer the new kid on the block.

Owners Ranjeet Singh and Alvino Cardozo said:

“Five years is a really good milestone to reach! 

“We are delighted to be celebrating our fifth birthday at Kalash Divine Indian. 

“We are extremely grateful to everyone who has supported us since day one. 

“This is a fantastic place to be. We are very invested in Southport. We have a long term lease here, and we are not going anywhere!” 

Kalash Divine Indian opened in 2019, just before the Covid pandemic arrived. It was a tough baptism of fire, but the restaurant’s unique appeal has seen it thrive. 

Ranjeet and Alvino said:

“Our consistency in delivering top quality food to our customers remains the same. People know the standards they can expect. You can see that by the reviews we receive online. 

“We are very proud to be five star rated on both TripAdvisor and Google. 

“We are very humbled by the feedback we have received from diners over our five years here. 

“While we attract people from across the region, we would still love to invite anyone who has not tried Kalash yet to call in and see what you think. What we offer is unique. 

“We have recently unveiled our Christmas menu for this year, which is a fantastic way for people to enjoy Christmas Day with a difference.” 

Behind the success of Kalash Divine Indian is a talented team of chefs, who spend hours in the kitchen preparing all the dishes from scratch using the freshest and most authentic ingredients.

The newly expanded menu celebrates all the very best of Indian food from all corners of the subcontinent.

New dishes recently added to the menu include an Indian street food classic, ‘yoghurt bombs’, or Sev Puri; Bhatti Ka Murg; chunks of boneless chicken, marinated with curd, chilli, crushed coriander, royal cumin, nutmeg, peppercorn, infused in malt vinegar, grilled in the clay oven; Samundri Ratan; scallops, mussels and squid tossed in mustard, garlic and cumin flavoured spicy Goan tomato masala; Matar Mushroom Makhana: button mushroom, green peas cooked with onion, tomato and home made grind whole spices, finished with fresh cream and fox nuts; King Prawn Jalfrezi. 

The new dishes that have been introduced are from all over India, some from the north, some from the south; there are very big differences in the ingredients and the spices used, which means there is a real variety for customers to try.

Ranjeet Singh and Alvino said:

“There are no shortcuts in this restaurant!

“We are always happy to accommodate our customers’ needs. We are happy to provide meals which are gluten free, or vegan.

“We enjoy offering guidance to anyone who needs it, on the best dishes to eat, or which dishes work best together.

“Because we make our food fresh, we know everything that goes into making it. When you know your product that well, it is easy to talk people through it and give them any advice they need.

“Indian food is really fragrant and really healthy, with lots of ingredients such as turmeric, garlic, ginger, that are very good for your health.

“We know that the food on offer at Kalash Diving Indian is really top quality. We know from our customers who keep coming back, and from our reviews, that people will travel here to enjoy it.”
