Edinburgh restaurant helps fundraising appeal

The owner of a popular Indian and Bengali Restaurant located on Edinburgh’s Southside has pledged to donate 100% of income from a set menu to the relief effort currently in operation following the severe flooding in Bangladesh. A fundraising evening will be held on Tuesday 16th October 2007.*

The bangladesh born owner of Voujon Restaurant, Salim Miah commented:

“This year’s floods in India and Bangladesh are the worst the country has seen. We are proud to say we are helping in the relief effort and hope our customers will support us.”

Voujon will be offering a set menu for two for £45, including a three course meal and a bottle of house wine, from which 100% of income will be donated to the fundraising appeal. The menu will be available for one night only. Terms and Conditions apply.

Relief workers in Bangladesh have said the region's seasonal monsoons and rains have brought the worst flooding in nearly a decade. Flooding has destroyed housing, cut off roads, food and medical supplies and contaminated water sources for millions of people. It is estimated that as a result of the floods across the Asian continent, nearly 3,000 people have lost their lives and as many as six million have been displaced.

Voujon Indian and Bengali Restaurant is located at 107 Newington Road, Edinburgh, EH9 1QW.
