EMBRACING A BRITISH INDIAN HERITAGE

Ever wondered why we're called a "British Indian Takeaway"? Delve into the history of curry, and you'll uncover fascinating tales. Did you know that Chicken Tikka Masala was born in Scotland? Or that Balti found its origins in Birmingham? These are just a couple of examples among a host of curries that evolved right here in the UK. In the 19th century, the meeting of British high streets and curry was met with intrigue and skepticism. Little did they know that curry was here to stay, reshaping the culinary landscape of the UK. Curry houses revolutionized dining habits, coaxing Brits out of their homes to embrace a vibrant dining-out culture—no longer confined to special occasions, but a delightful midweek option.
