Team behind TripAdvisor's top-rated Indian restaurant in Essex – Brohmon in Stansted – to launch new street food outlet Kabab Pundit in Bishop's Stortford




A new street food outlet is coming to Bishop's Stortford, courtesy of the team behind Essex's top-rated Indian restaurant – Brohmon in Stansted.

Karim Ullah is launching Kabab Pundit from the kitchen of the Bishop's Stortford Social Club in South Street on Wednesday January 12. The takeaway and delivery outlet will operate Wednesday to Saturday evenings.

Karim, who has run a series of successful pop-up restaurants at pubs and bars in the town, said: "We're thrilled to be coming back to Bishop's Stortford and, again, we're going to provide something new and exciting to local people.

"We've already done some taste-testing with the club's members and we received a fantastic response. I hope we'll have the same response when we're officially open for business."

The restaurateur has already trialled his street food concept at the Dog and Duck pub in Stansted.

"Kabab Pundit will have dishes on its menu that, as a family, we love to eat," said Karim, whose daughter is pop singer Shakila K.

He added: "As well as the most popular Indian street food items, there'll be some rice bowl options which will be served with delicious home-style curries.

"I've always dreamed of finding places where I could eat tasty Indian street food but, unfortunately, it's difficult to find these places in the UK – unless you're in an area with a large Asian population. So, I'm delighted to make this street food available for the people of Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding areas.

"We have big ambitions for Kabab Pundit and we're hopeful we can make our food popular in Bishop's Stortford. Once we do that, we can then branch out into other towns and cities, creating tasty, affordable, readily-available food as well as employment opportunities for local people."

Karim and his wife Sultana opened Brohmon in Chapel Hill at the start of the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, specialising in rustic cuisine from their home region of Bengal. It is the top-rated Indian restaurant in Essex on TripAdvisor.
