A popular Indian restaurant in Welwyn Garden City is set to close down, with a replacement already lined up.

The Red Indian Restaurant in Wigmores North will cease trading on Friday, August 30, with the news confirmed in a Facebook post.

"After many wonderful years of serving you, we regret to inform you that Red Indian Restaurant will be ceasing trading on August 30," the post from the restaurant read.

"Thank you for all your support throughout the years.

"As a token of our gratitude, we are offering a 20 per cent discount on all food for dine-in and collection orders throughout the entire month of August.
