A new take-out restaurant has opened in the Washington Mall in Hamilton.

Called “Delicious”, the eatery offers a range of items including breakfast specials, custom made sandwiches, avocado toasties, a buffet and plenty of healthy options, too, its owners said.

Antonello Fadda and Ilario Pepi ran Eateries Food Court in the Mall, but decided not to renew the lease and instead set up the new venture.

Mr Fadda said: “We are finally open. It’s been a long eight months since a slow economy and Covid forced the closure of the food court and then we had to refurbish the new space.

“But we think people will see that the wait was worth it.”

Mr Pepi added: “It is a bit like coming home. We were in this location, by the Reid Street entrance, before we moved to the food court.”

Delicious is open from 8am until 4pm Monday to Saturday, serving breakfast and lunch.
