Leading Ayrshire chef Mafiz Ali is busy putting the final touches to plans for a special Halloween party for local primary schoolchildren and their parents at Ayr Spice Minishant Restaurant later this year.
The event will take place on Monday 4 November.
Children and adults will all have a delicious meal together in the restaurant, and afterwards there will be a party for the children in the function room upstairs featuring more food, fun, games and a magic show.
Mafiz Ali commented: “We’re all looking forward to what should be a really fun event, as we feel that it is important that a good restaurant should actively participate in the social life of the community, and not just be only a place to eat.”

ABOUT MAFIZ ALI AND AYR SPICE RESTAURANT
A little over half way between the ferry terminal at Cairnryan and the city of Glasgow lies the attractive village of Minishant, which plays host to a very special Indian restaurant. It is situated in the former Minishant Memorial Church, which has been very tastefully and extensively renovated for the purpose, and has a unique ambience created by its architectural excellence: A beautiful, stained-glass window lights up the entire upper level, which is divided in two with a partial mezzanine-floor above for groups of up to about forty people. There is also a cosy downstairs room making a total of three separate indoor venues.
Blessed with very adequate parking, it also boasts a tree-house for the children on the edge of a pine forest at the back of the car-park and well away from the road to ensure safety. On the other side is a large, wooden deck on which there are barbecues in summer, combining the three indoor venues with an outdoor one which has a very pleasant view over the surrounding countryside.
The co-proprietor here is Mafiz Ali, who trained in some of the country’s best Indian restaurants and climbed the ladder to fame in London by winning several prestigious awards: (1996 “Indian Restaurant of the Year” won by the Essex restaurant in which was chef at the time – 1997 “Indian Chef of the Year” awarded at the House of Commons, and soon followed by a special award for cleanliness and hygiene, and then “Golden Child of Sylhet” awarded by his local community in Bangladesh in recognition of his international success).
