Tom asked for it to be served with extra spices and he really liked it. Once he'd finished it he ordered a second portion. He wasn't drinking alcohol so it was all washed down with 'Birmingham' water (from Wales) which is my favorite in the whole country, nowhere else tastes as good.

On the other hand, when asked about the restaurant's experience with the Hollywood star, Nouman said:
Tom arrived at 6 pm and the picture was taken on my folding Samsung phone by one of his security team at 8.10 pm as he was leaving.When he came he said he didn't want any fuss and just wanted to be part of the atmosphere. He wanted a meal just like any other guest and simply wanted to enjoy an authentic Indian meal. A few diners recognized him but not all. Nobody made a fuss, though when he left people went a little bit crazy. He agreed to have his picture taken outside in a socially distanced way and had his mask on for the first picture. He then took his mask off and said: 'Take another one'.
It's worth noting that Asha Bhosle’s Birmingham restaurant Asha’s has earlier also served Ed Sheeran and The Rolling Stones.
