The curry house just 20 minutes from London beloved by Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise frequents Veer Dhara for its authentic Indian cuisine and proximity to filming locations; the restaurant holds a 4.5/5 rating on Tripadvisor.

  • MyLondon reported that the actor Tom Cruise is said to frequent Veer Dhara, a curry house in St Albans reachable by Thameslink from St Pancras in 20 minutes.
  • Surinder Singh founded Veer Dhara to showcase excellence, diversity and affordable Indian food, and Cruise's visits trace back to 2012 when he was filming Edge of Tomorrow at nearby Leavesden Studios.
  • The kitchen features six chefs handpicked from India's five-star hotels, and the menu includes salmon tikka and murg palak tawa, with Cruise ordering chicken and lobster tikka masala.
  • The visit ended with a payment hiccup when Cruise struggled to settle the bill as Veer Dhara didn't accept American Express and a friend covered the bill, with its TripAdvisor 4.5/5 rating possibly boosting interest.
  • As a star of Top Gun and Mission: Impossible, Tom Cruise’s visits may boost Veer Dhara’s profile, supported by strong TripAdvisor reviews and celebrity patronage.
