Couple set to open Café Nirvana in former Number Eight Coffee House in Grantham

A couple is set to open a new cafe in Grantham.

Dipendra Khati and his wife Ratna are getting ready to open Café Nirvana, in the George Shopping Centre, in the next few weeks.

The cafe will be in the former Number Eight Coffee House, a family-run venue which closed down last year.

“We are hoping to be recognised as one of the best places where quality food is guaranteed and service is second to none,” said Dipendra.

He added: “Apart from a regular café fare, Café Nirvana will exclusively offer exotic meat burgers, pizzas and grill in a relaxed setting.”

The couple are familiar with the hospitality industry as they previously ran a restaurant in Grantham for five years.

Unfortunately the restaurant closed due to “circumstances beyond our control”, added Dipendra.

He said: “Café Nirvana is a totally new venture with a different product.

“We previously had a restaurant open in the evening and this cafe will trade mainly in the daytime as it suits because of our children.

“Now the time is right to start again with a fresh idea and we feel we are ready to go back and do what we do best.”
