A RESTAURANT in Barrow which has been closed for almost a year looks finally set to reopen.

The Mithali, also known as the Mitalee, has been closed since last September when signs were put up in the windows stating the restaurant would be closed until further notice.

Following the closure of the Little Elephant, the Mithali had been Barrow's only eat-in Indian restaurant and one of only three takeaways.

Some time after it closed, staff told The Mail that the Indian restaurant was closed for refurbishment, although there has been little activity at the premises since.

However, now a new sign has been put up announcing the eatery will be reopened under the new name Dhava.
