Greetings

I want to run a Persian ( Iranian) restaurant in Poland, Warsaw. (now I live in Iran)

1. Do Polish people like foriegn food ( like Indian, Turkish , Persian)

2. How much money I need to run this restaurant? about 100 m2 with medium equipments. ( rent or buy)

3. What must I do for legal affairs and How can I get legal papers? Whether must I be citizen?

4. If I need a business partner how can I get her/ him?

Many thanks
Asha

I sure do. I happen to be Polish too ...

All the other info you need to contact the Polish embassy maybe ... you know anyone in Poland? Why did you select Poland anyway?

Polish people like polish food basically.They don't like to spend so unless you compete directly on prices with polish there is no way to succeed.

What do you know about restaurants in Poland?! Ever been there? How can you explain all the crappy pizzerias and shoarma places, huh? Give me a break :-S

First of all it is impossible to bring real quality stuff from your country like you can in Germany etc.So a greek salad would not have real oil,greek olives etc and so it would likely have a taste not even reminding of true greek salad.Since you have these natural restrains the only area to compete is the price.

Turkish wouldn't work, it's associated with kebabs - but Persian would work very well. The only thing that you have to bear in mind is that the food has to be adjusted to the Polish taste - which unfortunately means sacrificing authenticity a bit. I have no idea about Persian cuisine - but expect the need for salt.

How long is a piece of string? It's impossible to say - it depends where it's located.

It's not that difficult - you can apply for a visa on the basis of owning a limited company in Poland. Long winded and tedious, but not that difficult.

If you need someone with experience, that's not a problem - plenty of foreign restaurant owners would help you out. But if you need people to invest money - forget about it.

Sorry, but that's only true in small towns and villages in backwards parts of Poland. In big cities, people have money to burn - and will happily spend a lot of money on a quality product.

Anything available anywhere in the EU is by extension available in Poland.

Yes, many of them do. We like to make "experiments" in the kitchen. We also like to taste foreign food. Italian is very popular among Poles as well as Greek, Chinese, other national cuisines with an emphasis on Mediterranean food.
Indian, Turkish, Persian are not popular in Poland, well, maybe except Turkish. There are some Turkish restaurants in my country.
Generally many Poles like spicy food and everything what looks good and is different then traditional Polish tomatoe soup, "schabowy" or chicken cutlet. We are open to getting to know new dishes form other countries I guess.
A great idea! Good luck for you.

You mean you would like to get into the EU (even better the Schengen area) by a back door ?

Hey, if he has the money, he's welcome. Not that expensive to start a limited company and apply for a visa on the basis of it.

(however, the talk of "business partners" makes me doubt about the money side)

You guys are after money of a woman?

Asha, you can contact www.gerlach.com.pl - owner of this company is a woman, you can buy your utensils (plates, glasses, spoons, knifes, and so on) from them. They can also help you on other things you asked.

Hmm. With clever marketing, a female Persian restaurant owner could make a lot of money here. It would certainly be unique!

I love the idea. The best is to start from Warsaw. You could open a self service restaurant. Pay for the entry and eat as much as you want. You could serve a halal meat. It doesn`t make a difference for local people and it would attract muslim socity here.
I really miss this sort of restaurants in Poland....

You have to admit this sounds like a cute effort to get into Schengen.

If you mean running a successful business for 5 years, learning Polish, and then giving up your old passport...then yea.
