Warnings curry houses may not reopen after lockdown

Thousands of Indian restaurants in the UK could be lost due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to warnings from industry groups, as the lockdown has put owners under intense financial strain.

Curry houses can be found in pretty much every British town and chicken tikka masala is often referred to as the country’s national dish.

But many family-owned restaurants say they will struggle to reopen when restrictions are lifted.
