Indian fusion street food to come to Newport Market. 

He was also the manager of Seven Lucky Gods, that specialises in serving Asian food.

He said: “I am seeking a new venture, I like Newport Market and I know the people as I was manager at Seven Lucky Gods. I am excited as there is no Indian cuisine in the market.

“It will be a new challenge for me. I have more than 25 year's experience in the kitchen and have worked all over Europe.

“I did all sorts of cuisine and because of that I can do Indian food and Asian.”

Chef Aziz also runs a successful italian business in Barry Goodshed’s. He is the owner of La Rustica, which is italian stall that serves traditional pizza and pasta.
