The Hindoostane Coffee House, opened in London in 1810, was a short-lived Indian restaurant, and the first of its kind in the British Isles. It was founded by Sake Dean Mahomed, a former captain in the British East India Company's Bombay Army, in George Street in 1810. It closed a year later for lack of business.[1][2]
Its location is marked by a City of Westminster plaque, erected in September 2005.[1]
