Korean kitchen is now open for your Far East delights
A branch of Grounded Kitchen has opened in the centre of Loughborough.
The brand, known for its Koreaninspired “nourish bowls”, launched its latest eatery in Baxter Gate.
Due to coronavirus restrictions, the branch, run by franchisee Zubair Hafeji, is initially open for takeaways and deliveries only.
It serves made-to-order dishes such as Bulgogi bowls, available with beef, chicken or prawns, and Gochujang bowls, available with chicken, beef, wild salmon, tuna steak or prawns.
Vegetarian and vegan offerings include the spicy peanut Buddha bowl, edamame and sweet potato, shichimi chickpea and spicy peanut shichimi tofu.
Grounded Kitchen first opened in
Queens Road, Clarendon Park, Leicester, in May 2017, and due to its popularity, moved into larger premises, previously occupied by Salvador Deli, in December 2019.
A city centre branch was opened in May 2018, but it was confirmed earlier this year that this branch is now permanently closed, due to a huge reduction of footfall in the city centre as a result of restrictions.
Grounded Kitchen said it was now focusing on “communitybased” locations.
A branch opened in Market Harborough’s High Street in November.
A spokesman said Grounded’s philosophy looks at the benefits good food can have on health, mood and happiness, which is summed up in the brand’s mantra of “Love, Life, Eat”.
Opening times for Loughborough’s Grounded Kitchen are: 11am to 8.30pm, Sunday to Wednesday; 11am to 9.30pm Thursday to Saturday.
