Today there is hardly a village street in the United Kingdom does not have an Indian restaurant.
The story goes that Sake Dean Muhammad, Born in 1759 in Patna, has joined the East India Company and rose to the rank of subedar, a range in the military history of India, just below the British officers previously commissioned and noncommissioned officers. He and his best friend Captain Godfrey Baker, came Great Britain in 1784 and began a new life in Ireland.

Nearly 23 million people (more than one third a population) in Britain eat outdoors on a regular basis and most of these enjoy a Curry restaurant in one or more times, while millions of people have chosen to bring India, cooking an Indian meal at home or purchase ready-made supermarket.
After the experience Sake Dean, the restaurant scene India has been almost nonexistent. In recent years, there were very few Indian restaurants in the United Kingdom.
