Tom Cruise eats two chicken tikka masala at Asha's
Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is in England for the shoot of his upcoming film Mission impossible 7. Taking a break from his hectic shoot, the Top Gun actor visited legendary singer Asha Bhosle's restaurant in Birmingham and enjoyed Indian food. Going by the reports in Birmingham Live, Tom Cruise spent two hours at Asha's while he was shooting in the Midlands. He ordered their popular chicken tikka masala with extra spices and enjoyed it soo much that he ordered it again.
Asha Bhosle took to Twitter to express her happiness that Tom Cruise liked the food at her restaurant and said that she is looking forward to hosting him again. She tweeted, "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."
Asha's general manager Nouman Farooqui also shared the picture on the restaurant's social media with the caption, "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."
