Veeraswamy, London’s oldest Indian restaurant, established in 1926, is at risk of closure due to a lease dispute with the crown estate, which owns the building. As the restaurant nears its centenary, co-owner Ranjit Mathrani is preparing to take legal action against plans to refurbish the property, which could jeopardize this iconic dining establishment. Diners cherish its rich history and evolving menu, but the proposed changes threaten to erase decades of heritage that holds special meaning both for local patrons and the royal family.
Despite its historic significance and celebrity patronage, Veeraswamy restaurant faces closure as property developers seek to refurbish the building, leading to a legal battle.
Co-owner Ranjit Mathrani emphasizes the restaurant's importance, stating, "It's not just a museum, and I think they would be disappointed that an institution bearing their name would be so heartless."
