The head chef of a landmark restaurant in Southall is to open a new venue in The Green Quarter next year.
The Brilliant brand dates back to the fifties when Bishen Dass Anand set up a restaurant in a Kenyan hotel. Brilliant Restaurant, which serves Punjabi cuisine with a Kenyan twist, was opened by his sons in 1975 on Western Road after the family moved to the UK. It is claimed to be the King’s favourite place to eat in London and won an award on a TV show featuring Gordon Ramsay.
Now Dipna Anand, Bishen Dass’s granddaughter, is setting up Brilliant Gastro which will serve both Indian and British favourites in a casual dining environment.
Dipna says, "It's the food I love to eat! Indian food with British twists; Indian favourites, and traditional British dishes, so there's something delicious for everyone,"
"It's always been a dream of mine to open a gastro-style dining experience. Casual dining offers a relaxing and accessible way to dine out. We'll have a wide array of new dishes that I'm excited for people to try."
Dipna is a familiar face on TV screens and also provides the menu for The Plough in Norwood Green as well as Dipna in Somerset House.
The new restaurant will be the anchor tenant in Parkside Yards, at the centre of the heart the mixed-use development.

Marcus Blake, managing director, St George, part of the Berkeley Group which is developing The Green Quarter, said, “Dipna Anand is such an iconic chef, and welcoming her to Parkside Yards signals a huge milestone for the evolution of the Green Quarter.
“This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to building a thriving and dynamic neighbourhood that embraces both new opportunities and local culture, enhancing the living experience for our residents and creating something truly special for the wider community.”
