On the eve of Diwali, the HTSI food writer celebrates the legendary local restaurants of his forefathers
My father came to the UK in 1968 – an Indian doctor responding to the NHS call for workers. He spent his first week at the YMCA Indian Student Hostel in Euston. To get locum jobs , he would scan the classified section of the British Medical Journal and ring around hospitals with vacancies. Each position came with accommodation and lasted a couple of weeks, after which he’d return to the YMCA as the cheapest option and scout for the next position.
The India Club was established in 1951 by members of the Indian League, spearheaded by Krishna Menon. A bar, restaurant and social club, it served as a meeting place for groups such as the Indian League and Indian Journalists’ Association and as a hub for London’s Indian community. It also became a haven for anyone looking for cheap Indian food and a slice of London restaurant history. Fondness and affordability count for a lot in hospitality. Historic importance, I would argue, does too.
