Restaurant operator D’Tandoor Food Industries Sdn Bhd (D’Tandoor) will be opening up five ‘Malaysian Kitchen’ restaurants in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Canberra, Australia early next year.
D’Tandoor’s franchise manager, Muzafar Ali Khan said the company’s move to expand the local franchise restaurant business to Australia was made possible by financing from Bank EXIM.
He said D’Tandoor was also aiming to open another 10 restaurants overseas based on the same concept.
“The opening of the restaurant in Australia is only the first phase and under the second phase, the destinations will be Europe, United Kingdom and Amsterdam,” he told Bernama at the sidelines of the Franchise International Malaysia conference and exhibition held here Friday.
He said D’Tandoor was also partnering the Tourism Ministry and Aman Brothers Group to open up another restaurant to be called D’Malaysia in Perth at the end of this year. This restaurant will feature 100 percent Malaysian food.
Beginning next year, the slogan at all D’Tandoor’s outlets will be also changed from `Authentic Indian Cuisine’ to `Authentic Malaysian and Indian Cuisine’ with Malaysian dishes to be added to the menu besides the Indian food offered by the restaurant.
Muzafar said D’Tandoor was also looking at opening up its franchise business in Penang, Johor Bahru and other states.
