The Hindoostane Coffee House, located at 34 George Street in London, was established in 1810 under the name Hindoostane Dinner and Hooka Smoking Club. Recognized as the first Indian dining establishment within the British Isles, it was founded by Sake Dean Mahomed, who had previously served as a captain in the British East India Company's Bengal Army. This venue played a pioneering role in bringing Indian gastronomic traditions to the London scene. The enterprise ceased operations in 1812 due to Mahomed's financial insolvency.
A commemorative City of Westminster plaque was installed at the site in September 2005.
