History
Prior to Jimmy's Restaurants, the business started with a number of restaurants called Jimmy Spices. The first Jimmy Spices opened in October 2003 in the Old Glassworks in Birmingham in the Regency Wharf scheme just off Broad Street. The concept was developed by Nitin Bhatnagar and focused on all-you-can-eat Indian, Italian, Thai and Chinese cuisine in a themed open plan kitchen. This was the first multi-cuisine buffet restaurant of its kind in the UK. As the company grew, it opened restaurants in Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, and Stratford Upon Avon; and brought in Jaswinder Choongh as a partner.
The first Jimmy Spices to open within the M25 was in Epsom in October 2007 and Staines in October 2008.
In 2011, the company went into liquidation, leaving the Midlands-based branches of Jimmy Spices with Jaswinder Choongh to allow the founders to focus on Jimmy's World Grill.
A new site already agreed for Jimmy's World Grill for 2015 is Swansea
