This is a rare, asset-rich opportunity to acquire an award-winning, full-service Indian restaurant in one of Virginia’s fastest-growing markets. The business is fully built-out, professionally designed, and 100% turnkey, with over $385,000 in equipment and build-out included—all owned free and clear.

The seller invested over $500,000 to develop this concept from a bare shell. The buyer is effectively acquiring the hard assets at near replacement cost with an established, cash-flowing business included.

The restaurant has earned “Best Indian Restaurant” (2025) recognition and operates with exceptional gross margins (~78%), diversified revenue streams, and a long-term 20-year lease structure (10+5+5) providing stability. Key Financial Highlights

Peak Revenue (2023): $586,330
Adjusted SDE: ~$307,500
Asking Price Multiple: ~1.38× SDE (well below industry norms)
Gross Margins: ~78% (consistent)
Equipment & Build-Out FMV: $385,000+ (included)

Industry comps for established restaurants typically trade 2.0×–3.0× SDE. This pricing reflects a strategic discount due to reduced owner focus—not operational weakness. Why Revenue Declined (And Why It’s an Upside)

Revenue softened after 2023 due to owner bandwidth, not market demand:
Owner operates multiple businesses
Restaurant recently closed Mondays
Minimal marketing spend
Catering intentionally reduced
These are reversible decisions, creating immediate upside for an engaged owner-operator or operator group.
