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