The Clyde Curry House in Glasgow wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect the premium quality of their family-recipe dishes. They replaced their standard white bowls with the Olympia HY128 kadai dishes to create a more authentic and visually appealing tablescape.
"Our old bowls were just functional. These Olympia kadai dishes completely transform the table. Customers are constantly commenting on them and snapping photos for social media. It's the final professional touch our food deserved."
Raj Singh – Head Chef
The change led to a tangible improvement in customer feedback on presentation and a noticeable increase in social media tags from diners.

That's where the copper kadai stainless steel interior comes in. Think of it as a protective, modern shield inside a traditional vessel. It gives you a tough, non-reactive, and food-safe surface that won't tarnish or alter the taste of your food.
