Malaysian restaurant business Roti King, which made its regional debut earlier this summer in Brighton, is planning its first opening in Scotland.
Propel understands that the business, which is chaired and backed by Ganan Kanagathurai, former chief executive of Itsu, is planning to open at 8-10 South St Andrew Street in the Scottish capital.
Earlier this summer it opened a site in Brighton’s Ship Street. Roti King, which was founded by Malaysian chef Sugen Gopal, opened its first permanent eponymous site in London, in Doric Way, near Euston, in 2014, following its original location inside the Oriental City food hall (now Bang Bang Oriental) in Colindale.
Roti King subsequently launched sites in Lower Marsh in Waterloo and in the Circus West Village, part of the Battersea Power Station development. The company opened a fourth site last year, and its first in the City, in Artillery Lane, just off Bishopsgate. The company also operates the Gopal’s Corner concept.
Last year, the company opened its first stand-alone site under the concept, on the former Dirty Vegan site in Westfield London.
The company also currently operates four sites under the Gopal’s Corner name in the Market Halls in Victoria, Oxford Street, Canary Wharf and Paddington.
