Coral Bay first opened at Great Yarmouth Market in April 2017 as Jamaica-born Conroy Robinson left his job in a warehouse to follow his passion for cooking.
Following the success of the first takeaway, which he owns with wife Sarah, the second Coral Bay is set to open this Saturday, November 10 in the city.
Mr Robinson, who is the youngest of eight children, was taught to cook by his late mother Deloris and has lived in the UK for the last 18 years.
'The business started when I was cooking for family and friends at home and they said it was really nice food and I should open a takeaway.
'I've got a large customer base in Great Yarmouth with many from Norwich who are visiting the town.
'I've decided to open in Norwich Market as I can reach lots of people and there is a wide variety of food stalls so it will fit in well.'
