For many Londoners, enjoying an Indian meal at their local curry house is a weekly ritual. However, what many people don't realise is that the 'Indian' food they love is actually from Bangladesh. The capital welcomed a huge influx of immigrants from Bangladesh when the country became independent in the 1970s, and these newcomers kickstarted the capital's craze for curry. So, when you book tables in curry houses in Brick Lane or the West End, you may well be dining at one of London's many Bangladeshi restaurants.
