Siblings to open steak and sea food restaurant at regeneration site

Diners can expect T-bone, sirloin and rib-eye steaks, along with beef ribs and burgers. The seafood range will feature salmon, prawns and the fish of the day. The menu will also include chicken, pasta, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Owners, brother and sister duo Dalu and Sibbs Sikhosana, have over 30 years’ hospitality and catering experience between them.

They already own the Sub Sahara African Food Shop on Effingham Street in the town centre.

Dalu said: “We can’t wait to join Vetro Lounge, Travelodge and one of the best cinemas in the country, Arc, at Forge Island this spring.

“Sygnature Dish will offer something for everyone – it’s a unique offer for Rotherham where people will be able to sample the finest cuts of meat on the bone and fresh seafood, while getting good value for money.”

Sibbs added: “Forge Island has got so much potential as a destination in Rotherham. We’re passionate about what we do and when the opportunity was presented to us, we wanted to grab it with both hands.

“We hope our Forge Island site will be the first of many Sygnature Dish restaurants across the country.”

Councillor Chris Read, leader of Rotherham Council, said: “I’m happy to welcome Sygnature Dish to Forge Island. It’s fantastic that one of our existing businesses in the town centre wants to expand with a new, fresh and exciting offer; it really illustrates Forge Island’s potential.

“Following the recent announcement of Vetro Lounge, it’s exciting to keep the momentum going.

“We’re continuing to drive forward our vision for a revitalized Rotherham, and Sygnature Dish is a fantastic addition to this journey.

“I look forward to seeing it flourish and welcoming even more exciting food and drink experiences in the near future.”
