A LONG-running Kilmarnock Indian restaurant is set to change hands after its owners announced a "bittersweet" farewell.

Kat and Joe, of The Jewel on Portland Street, have thanked customers for their support as they prepare to step away from the business.

Their final day of trading will be Saturday, October 10.

The owners said: "We would like to thank all of our customers over the past 10 years for their overwhelming support.

"We have had some fabulous times over the years and it is definitely bitter sweet for us to say goodbye!"

The Jewel has been sold to a new family and will continue operating as an Indian restaurant.

Kat and Joe have encouraged customers to continue supporting the business under its new ownership.
