First look inside the new Thai restaurant opening in Shrewsbury next week

Married couple Amar and Pabel Saha took over the business in March 2016 when its former owner was eager to sell the business.

With a small kitchen and seating for only eight, the business was a great starting point for the couple - but Amar told the Shropshire Star earlier this year that expansion was always the plan.

The couple decided to take the plunge earlier this year, announcing their takeover of the former Sprinters Coffee Shop and Bodytech Health Club on the bustling street.

It's been designed to complement the offering at the market as House of Yum will now be open for evening dining - and includes a large drinks menu.

Now just days away from opening, the couple are excited to say they have been fully booked out for their first week.

Speaking to the Shropshire Star, Amar said she is excited to welcome frequent diners as well as newcomers into the transformed site. 

“We’d just like to really thank our customers,” Amar said.

“I run our social media pages so when I put the announcement out there, I didn't expect to receive such a great response.

“I knew we'd get support because they are really supportive, but to see as far as it's gone, it's been actually incredible.

“It's really, really heart-warming for us to see that we're supported so much. It has just motivated us to work even harder - for our customers.”
