A passion for food and designing has prompted the owner of Mezbaan to open a second food outlet along Victoria Parade in Suva.

Seventeen new jobs have been created following a more than five- hundred thousand dollars investment.

Owner, Mohammed Alam Moznu says they have plans to further expand the business.

“We are planning to go in Damodar City new upcoming building, we are currently negotiating to take up a place. Bigger space this is very small place for us and we are not taking like big booking so we are looking at bigger space say for about 100 people.”

The first outlet opened in MHCC in 2014 offering Bangladeshi and Arabic cuisine while the second outlet offers Indian and Thai dishes.
