The Chaayé Paani takeaway suffered severe damage after a blaze broke out at its site on the Sycamore Centre, Attercliffe Common Road, on Thursday, December 22.
Managing director Vaqar Ahmed said he is now looking to bring in a mobile building to use as a temporary base at the site until repairs can be completed.
He said he received a call at around 2pm yesterday, telling him there was a fire at the company’s Sheffield store, and said the cause of the blaze was still unknown, but he suspected it may have started in a fryer.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the blaze was extinguished within an hour of them being called out and Mr Ahmed confirmed all the staff fled safely and no one was injured and he hopes to be back in business within days.
