A smoke bomb has been set off in Cosmo in London Street, Norwich.
Fire crews were rushed to reports of a building on fire to discover it was a false alarm caused by the smoke bomb.
Diners were evacuated from the building after a green smoke bomb was found in the toilets at around 8.20pm.
Danielle Prostrollo was at the restaurant at the time.
She said: 'My friends and I figured it was a smoke bomb in the toilets because my friend was in there with her two kids and said there was green smoke coming from the bin.
