UK's oldest surviving Indian restaurant is at risk of closure after 99 years of service. The decision taken by the estate owning the building, had prompted loyal Brits to petition King Charles with 18,000 signatures in a bid to 'protect a historic institution'.
Veeraswamy was founded in 1926, and since then it has resided on London's Regent Street. However, the restaurant faces a gloomy cloud in getting its lease renewed due to a dispute with its landlord, the Crown Estate.
