Tom Cruise took a break from filming Mission: Impossible at the weekend and visited an Indian restaurant where he enjoyed the chicken tikka masala so much he ordered it twice.

The restaurant, Asha’s, posted a picture of Cruise, 59, outside its Birmingham branch and said it was “an absolute pleasure to welcome Tom Cruise”.

“Tom ordered our famous chicken tikka masala and enjoyed it so much that as soon as he finished, he ordered it all over again – the greatest compliment,” the restaurant said.

Cruise has been seen in several different British spots this year, including Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, as well as North Yorkshire, filming the seventh instalment of the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Last week, an audacious stunt from the set in Derbyshire was captured, featuring a train plunging into a quarry.

Cruise has also enjoyed himself at Wimbledon, the Euros and at Silverstone for the Formula One this summer.

But he wasn’t the first famous diner at Asha’s.

Bollywood stars have travelled far and wide to experience the food at Asha’s over the years, including Anil Kapoor, Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan.

Chef Heston Blumenthal and boxer Amir Khan have also visited the restaurant, where the chicken tikka masala sets you back £19.45 (for one).

The new Mission: Impossible film is expected to be released in 2022 and stars Vanessa Kirby and Simon Pegg.
