Arek Chelpa, the owner of Safar Bistro Grill, said: “I am really excited to have finally opened Safar Bistro Grill. The name, meaning ‘journey’, is also an amalgamation of my two daughters' names. It’s been quite a journey and one which I hope continues successfully.

"The type of food we serve I would describe as Mediterranean fusion. We also have a lot of Turkish influence and do some lovely (and large) full English Breakfasts, coffees and cocktails."

"I’m hoping I will contribute to Wrexham’s growth and restaurant industry as it really is a fantastic place to be."

After the restaurant announced its opening on social media, dozens of people commented expressing their excitement. 

One person said: "Wishing you all the best with your new venture, sure it will be a massive hit, the menu looks lovely. We will be visiting."
