She said that the idea came to open an Indian sweet shop as it was “missing in Leeds”.
Regina said: “We got the spot next door and it just seemed perfect.
“People get tired of doing the same thing so we wanted to try something new.”

She said: “They have sweet shops on every corner. It’s very traditional over there so there was plenty of places to go for inspiration.”
She added that all of the sweets and products at the shop will be vegetarian and that it will be open for breakfast.
“We are really excited about bringing something new”, Regina said. “It’s what we’re passionate about.”
