Indians are huge fans of Haldiram’s, and its outlets are almost always packed with customers. The brand recently launched its first-ever UK restaurant, which attracted massive crowds within days of opening. However, just weeks after its much-talked-about debut, the outlet has temporarily shut its doors. Read on to find out why! 

Haldiram’s UK Outlet Temporarily Shuts Down

Haldiram’s UK restaurant in Leicester Square, which opened just a few weeks ago, has now temporarily shut down. The outlet has paused operations due to scheduled utility upgrade work. Haldiram’s shared the update on its official social media handle, stating that the restaurant has been closed because of scheduled UKPN electrical works. UKPN means UK Power Networks, the company that manages electricity distribution across London and parts of south-east England. 

The restaurant also informed customers that it will announce the reopening date as soon as possible. The team also apologised for the inconvenience and mentioned it was important for the safety of staff and customers.
