Owner Sudharsan Murugavel has already had success with his Dosa Kitchen restaurant in Jesmond, Newcastle, as well as trading at food markets, but Big Fat Indian Kitchen is his first Sunderland venture.
He said: “It’s such a great spot, there’s not many places like this overlooking the beach so we felt that it was such a great opportunity for us to launch our new venture here.
"While our restaurant is based around Southern Indian food, this venture is more based on North Indian street food. Each region in Indian has its own distinct dishes and flavours.”

"Thali has proved our most successful dish so far,” he said. “It’s a really good substantial meal with lots of different flavours.”
Gemma Dishman, marketing & special projects manager at Danieli Holdings, who own Stack, said: "It’s great that we have another new offering at Stack Seaburn that’s bringing something different. Indian food was something that was missing, but now really adds to the global food offering we have here.”
There is set to be more announcements coming from Stack in the coming weeks as it gears up for the winter season.
