Firefighters tackle the blaze at the Yoko Bistro and Noodle Bar A restaurant has been destroyed by a fire in County Londonderry.
Couples out celebrating Valentine's night had to leave the restaurant when the fire broke out at around 18:30 GMT in the Yoko Bistro and Noodle Bar in Coleraine.
A number of other shops and restaurants were also evacuated at the Riverside Regional Centre.
Six fire appliances and the emergency services were at the scene, but no-one is believed to have been injured.
The fire is thought to have started in the restaurant's kitchen, and firefighters battled for hours to bring it under control.
Syed Amin, owner of the adjoining Indus Valley restaurant, said: "We were quite busy, we had a lot of bookings tonight.
"One customer popped in and told me there was a fire next door.
"We thought it was just a small, minor fire, but when I went out it was clearly a big fire.
"Then I had to evacuate my customers, I had to tell them we had to leave.
"It happened so quickly and the wind was blowing the smoke into my restaurant."
