I used to eat there in the seventies, it was a favourite of my shipbroker friends. They accepted Luncheon Vouchers (who remembers those?). Great food and so cheap. They also had a branch near Aldgate pump for a short while, but it was mainly for take-away, a couple of simple dishes, and wasn’t a patch on the main branch. Long time ago, I’m in Dubai now, and get more really authentic Indian food than you can shake a roti at!

The East End’s oldes curry-house, but IIRC not the oldest in the whole of London (Which is surprising)
Is the oldest Veeraswamy’s?
Or another one?
The “India Club” at the East end of the Strand has been around for a very long time, too.

Dear Mr. Abubacker, family and staff: congratulations and the very best wishes for the next 75 years! What a delightful surprise to see this story. As a student, more than 40 years ago, I came often to your restaurant and learned to love this rich, wonderful and (to me) new food. Now long lodged in Australia I remember those experiences with nothing but the fondest of feelings. Thanks for everything.
