Is it true that all Indian restaurants in UK are owned by Bangladeshis?

[CHD]

Pakistanis,BDeshis and even Nepalis to an extent market their restaurants as "Indian"

British Asian Kitchen | MyLahore really look at this

You have to understand that we don't count Lucknow as a part of India. There is also meerut kebab house in Karachi. We are trying to retain our Lucknowi identity which is much better than muhajir identity. Again we do not see those regions as part of India but believe they should have gone to Pakistan. We see it as a responsibility to meld our land taken away from us with Pakistan. The only name that will be copying indian will be India which the restaurant shown in the picture is at the top.

There is a popular sweet mart shop name after Karachi called Ghasitaram Karachi Halwa in Bombay. I like their Halwas which was given to me by my friend. I have read some where the population of Hindus was 51% in 1947 and Muslims were 42%,so there areas should have been returned to India.

Please don't try to knock sense. I fear you will actually achieve in making him understand and we will have one item less in this forum.

At topic, it not just that the names are Indian only. There is a famous bakery in Hyderabad, Banjara hills, named Karachi bakery. There is another one by the same name in Pune.

But these were probably setup in preindependence times - haven't seen any newer ones. That's where the similarity ends. When you see a restaurant with Indian name in the west, being run by a non Indian, it is because people mainly identify it by Indian cuisine.

Thats obvous, people would willingly want to visit indian restaurant.

Its common practice pakistanis and bangladeshis hide behind the identity of being indian in west whenever in trouble.

Indian food tastes like crap so I cannot blame them. I must say, Bangladeshi chai also tastes like crap, and I've had it a few times in Jackson Heights.

Why do you drink something that tastes like crap "a few times". Just checking if you can acquire a taste for crap?

Didi ji but we the people of Lucknow, who actually live in Lucknow count Lucknow as a part of India. Usually our mails are addressed to Lucknow, UP, India. We have a Republic day celebration, Independence day of 15th of August and a lot of both Hindu and Muslim festival celebrations, in all parts of Lucknow. Even the parts that are prominently Muslim majority were very active on Diwali as it is peak time for business for everyone. So basically Lucknow is part of India, and if someone from your family tells you otherwise, well they need to get over it.

So why are we complaining here. Both sides do it. I have noticed a restaurant in Muscat Oman that was Indian but had a Pakistani name. People remember the places they are originally from and create restaurants with such names.

There are some preindepedence era restaurants, which have names related to present Pakistan. Outside India or Pakistan, they all advertise Indian cuisine to attract customers.

This is very shameful for a Bangladeshi to promote Indian cuisine instead of Bangladeshi or Bengali cuisine in foreign country. I feel very sad to admit that most Sylheti Bangladeshis pretend to be Indian in UK to run restaurants. We should promote Bangladesh, not India.

This restaurant is one of the several Indian restaurants owned by Bangladeshis of Sylheti diaspora. Please guys promote Bangladesh, not India when you are in abroad.

When Pakistanis can do catering for Modi speech in UAE, this is very small thing.

Are all Indian restruants in the UK owned by Bangledeshis? Certainly not. BUT are all (or at least many) Bangledeshi (and Nepali) restruants promoting themselves as "Indian" cuisine? From my expereince- yes.

Looks like they are doing your country a service, because your food is absolutely crap.

Like I care- good food is good food. The best Chinese restruant at my Uni is staffed almost entirely by White (English) people-their Prawn toast and Thai Red curry are absolutely incredible though!

Having said that, some of the best meals of my life have been in India- the Indian/Bangledshi/Nepali takeaways/restruants here in the UK are mostly to cater to the British palat and the food barely resembles what you would actually get in India. That said, the best Indian restruant I have been to in the UK was a South Indian restruant where it almost entirely catered to Indians/Desis.

Gordon Ramsey sums it up nicely:

The food we get here has no real buisness calling itself "Indian".

Real or not Indian food is disgusting. NEXT.

How many times do you have to taste crap ?

None anymore, because If an Indian colleague suggests Indian, I shut his *** down.
