Oh no! I know Mr Ali and have been to his restaurant, which isn’t far from me, many times. I’m going to share this with my WhatsApp group; we often go there on our beer and curry nights.

I have a friend in Glasgow who lives 2 mins from his restaurant. She’s very upset and says he was a lovely fella

Your friend lives very close to me, then. Yes, he was a great guy. Always hovering around being Mine Host, ready to joke and chat with customers, but never too grand to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in with whatever needed doing around the place.

Sorry to hear - he sounds like the best sort of curry house owner. We have a great long-standing relationship with our favourite too.
