At 2.15pm, the customer Vinay Aggarwal and his wife Ankita Gulati, a husband and wife visiting from London, arrived at the restaurant ahead of their train home at 3pm.Mr Aggarwal, a software engineer, said he had “no idea” that William took the call. “But I think he probably could have a role as a front of house manager, we could probably employ him to take phone calls in future as he did a really good job.”During the visit, which comes as part of a wider tour of the country ahead of the King’s coronation, Will and Kate said they “love curries” and “secretly try lots of curry houses around the country”.
They took part in a cooking competition, which was judged by the restaurant’s head chef and co-owner, Meena Sharma.William, wearing a brown blazer, blue chinos and brown suede Chelsea boots, admitted he would not eat the curry he prepared, adding “we will let that one just be in the corner somewhere”.
The menu at the restaurant includes a cocktail named after each family member behind the restaurant, but William said he could not think of what he would call a cocktail inspired by his wife when asked by Dhiraj Sharma, the 27-year-old general manager.He admitted he preferred vodka and enjoyed a Kamikaze cocktail as they were “silent but deadly”.The royals left the restaurant to greet dozens of well-wishers ahead of a second engagement in the city later on Thursday.
