The Hindoostane Coffee House, opened at 34 George Street, London in 1810 as the Hindoostane Dinner and Hooka Smoking Club,[1] was an 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 Bengal Army.[1][2][3] It closed in 1833, when Mahomed became bankrupt.[1]
Its location is marked by a City of Westminster plaque, erected in September 2005.[2]
