Chef Dilshad Miah told the Post: “We all feel very sad. It was a hard decision to make. But people aren’t going out as much as they used to because money is tight. “Also it is getting harder to find the right kitchen staff.

“It’s been really hard to keep it going of late. But the trade isn’t there and neither are the skilled staff.”

The restaurant has proved very popular since it opened in 1990, and news if its closure sparked a big reaction on the Evening Post’s website and sopcial media sites.

Reader Leanne Ricketts said: “I spent the last two Christmases with the Nazz. Lovely food,lovely place and lovely staff. Good luck to all.”
