A CELEBRITY rapper ‘loved the food’ at an award-winning Oldham restaurant during a recent visit.

The rapper Aitch was photographed at the Istanblue in Royton, which was recently crowned the UK’s best fine dining restaurant at the British Kebab Awards 2022, yesterday.

Harrison Armstrong, known as Aitch, said he ‘loved the food and atmosphere’, according to the restaurant’s owner Erhan Karakoc.

The rapper posed for a photo with staff members Mehmet and Naomi and the restaurant's head chef Ozan.

The photo appeared on the restaurant’s Facebook page yesterday along with the message: “Glad to have Aitch today as a guest”.

The Rochdale Road eatery won Best Fine Dining Restaurant at the 10th annual British Kebab Awards in London last month.

Aitch, from Moston, is becoming known on the Oldham restaurant scene.

In December he was photographed at the Italian restaurant Sul Lugo in Failsworth with the restaurant owner Aldo Lucci’s two sons Ciro and Fabio.

Aldo said: “Aitch and his friends have been to the restaurant in the past. He is a very pleasant person and was very willing to take photos.”
