A new restaurant has opened in the Waterside area of Derry city, following the expansion of a well-known local takeaway.
Moksh, which has created eight new jobs in the city, has launched its new restaurant on the city’s Spencer Road where beautiful Indian meals are prepared by their top rated chefs.
The new restaurant, owned by businessmen Umesh Aggarwal, Pushpender Thakur and Sushil Malik, has opened at the premises vacated by the Sooty Olive restaurant on the Spencer Road in April last year following more than a decade in business.

Co-owner, Umesh Aggarwal, said the new restaurant stands out for its commitment to authentic Indian cuisine, emphasising fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods.
“We invested in the whole building,” he said. “Refurbishing the interior and exterior with Moksh colours to create a calming ambiance.
“We hired additional well-trained staff to help create a happy and friendly environment where people can come to relax and enjoy authentic Indian food and drink.”
Mr Aggarwal said the ambiance of the restaurant is designed to reflect Indian culture.
“We have a diverse menu that includes regional specialities, vegetarian and vegan options in unique fusion dishes," he added. “We offer a wide range of different authentic Indian Starters, Curries, Biryani’s, Kebabs, Naan, Rice, Vegetarian curries & Chef’s Specialities as well as Soft and Alcoholic Beverages.”
Since opening in 2023 in its previous Culmore premises in 2023, the move to Spencer Road earlier this year enabled Moksh to develop the high standard restaurant.
Fellow co-owner Pushpender Thakur said customers will be able to choose from rich and creamy curries, sizzling kebabs, fragrant biryani, or the tantalizing goodness of Indian street food.
“Our diverse menu offers a delectable selection of dishes that cater to every palate, from mild to fiery, vegetarian to meat-lover, and everything in between, said Mr Thakur.
“Our chefs are passionate about crafting each dish with the finest ingredients and traditional Indian spices to ensure an unforgettable dining experience.
“And, don’t miss our Chef’s Specials, where our culinary experts showcase their creativity with innovative, one-of-a-kind creations that will surprise and delight your taste buds.”
