A RESTAURANT serving Indian and Italian food has opened its doors to the hungry public.

Green Olive on George Street has taken over the former Byroney’s Bistro spot, and is serving a selection of authentic Indian and Italian meals from its two top chefs specialising in each cuisine.

The business is owned by Ahmad Faisal from Oldham, who hopes the fusion of the two cuisines under one roof will be interesting to the locale and that the public will venture in to support the new business.

He said: “When the opportunity opened up for us to have a restaurant in St Helens I was very happy, I have heard wonderful things about the town and its friendly people and hope they will enjoy the place.

“We have two top chefs each with lots of experience in their different cuisines, one doing authentic Italian fresh food nd the other doing authentic South Indian dishes.

“It’s something a bit different but you can order meals of either kids of food and we hope you will come and support us and attend our official opening which we have postponed out of respect for the Queen’s death and funeral.”
