Tom Cruise Visits Asha Bhosle's Restaurant In UK, Likes Indian Cuisine Very Much, Re-Orders Chicken Curry Twice
Tom Cruise ended up at singer Asha Bhosle's restaurant in the UK and loved chicken tikka masala so much that he ordered it again.
If there's one cuisine that can make anyone's mouth water, it is our very own Indian food.
Nobody really can resist it - even if it's Hollywood actor Tom Cruise.
That's right! The Mission: Impossible actor took a trip to Asha's (in Birmingham, UK), an Indian cuisine restaurant owned by veteran singer Asha Bhosle and couldn't resist the food there.
He ordered himself two chicken tikka masala curries back-to-back at the restaurant because he loved it so much.
Cruise was said to be delighted with the dish that after eating one he immediately reordered himself another. Fair play. After his bumper meal, the actor was even happy to pose for a smiling photo with the restaurant's staff.
Owners of Asha's tweeted a photo of Tom outside with staff and wrote: "It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Tom Cruise to Asha's Birmingham yesterday evening. Tom ordered our famous Chicken Tikka Masala and enjoyed it so much that as soon as he had finished, he ordered it all over again - the greatest compliment."

Further on, even Asha Bhosle herself acknowledged the Hollywood actor's appearance at the UK restaurant. She wrote in an Instagram post, "I was very happy to hear that Mr Tom Cruise enjoyed his fine dining experience at Asha's (Birmingham) and I look forward to him visiting us again soon!"
However, after the picture surfaced online, fans were not convinced that he was real. Many speculated that he was a lookalike.
If that's a lookalike, he doesn't look anything like him. pic.twitter.com/j2Nhha78As

However, Asha's general manager Nouman Farooqui told the BBC it was '100 percent' the Mission: Impossible star. He said: "I came to check everything was okay, and I was right next to him, so I knew it was Tom Cruise."
Farooqui said that despite being 'star struck' meeting the Hollywood star, he was a 'polite, humble, down-to-Earth man'.
Cruise is currently filming the latest Mission: Impossible film in Birmingham with co-star Hayley Attwell.
The actor has been causing quite a stir as he's been spotted out and about at Grand Central shopping centre doing a bit of filming.
Well, regardless, we sure need to check out this amazing dish because now it has the seal of approval from Tom Cruise.
