After months of coronavirus lockdown frustration, a Norwich restaurant has celebrated its fifth anniversary in style with 70 visitors.

The Namaste Village on Queens Road changed most of its menu for an evening of good food, traditional Indian dress and entertainment on Sunday.

Cookery classes kickstarted the celebratory day with 30 people learning how to cook the Indian way.

Also taking place during the day were a raffle, quiz and guest speakers, in addition to a lunch and the main 'Namaste Anniversary Bash' in the evening.

Shreya Dubey, Namaste Village marketing executive, said: "It was one of the best and busiest days in this year. The event was houseful and we sold all the tickets within three days of uploading it online.

"We are very grateful and humbled by the love Norfolk community has showered upon us in the past five years."
