A South Asian restaurant owner in north-east England set to open a new eatery that will offer an unusual dining experience.

Monsoon’s owner Showkoth Choudhoury got the idea for the unusual venture when his current restaurant in South Shields was called upon to deliver food for UN troops in the Congo a few months ago.

London: Curry-loving British people will now have the chance to dine on a Boeing 737, with a South Asian restaurant owner in north-east England set to open a new eatery that will offer an unusual dining experience. Monsoon’s owner Showkoth Choudhoury got the idea for the unusual venture when his current restaurant in South Shields was called upon to deliver food for UN troops in the Congo a few months ago. The 42-year-old Bangladeshi-origin head chef and restauranteur is now inviting his locals to help test out his curries on a plane for free on Tuesday.

“The aeroplane restaurant debut will be free of cost as I need people to test and help in the development. I actually don’t have all the answers and we have never catered on an aircraft before,” Choudhoury said. “We have run a few tests but I wanted to invite my locals so that they might help me put South Shields on the map and give me valuable feedback so that together we can make a success of my new venture. I can only invite 40 people as my total dinning space is only 100 covers,” he said. This is not the first time a Bangladeshi curry house owner in the UK has come up with this idea of serving aeroplane curries.
