Tom Cruise goes almost unnoticed as he spends two hours in curry house

Tom Cruise surprised fans in Birmingham after he was spotted eating two Tikka Masala dishes at a local curry house.

The actor, who is in the UK filming the next Mission: Impossible film, visited Birmingham-based Indian restaurant Asha’s, where he dined for two hours unnoticed.

The restaurant shared a photo of the Hollywood star outside the premises.

“It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Tom Cruise to Asha’s Birmingham yesterday evening,” they wrote.

“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.”

Fans shared their shock at the rare sighting of Mr Cruise.

“I’ve eaten at Asha’s many times but never when Tom Cruise has been in town,” wrote on Twitter user.

Another said: “Oh wow, Tom Cruise having a great meal at Asha’s. One of our fave restaurants too.”

Other celebrity fans of the restaurant include Anil Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.

The 59-year-old star has been spotted across the UK recently–he was seen at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, as well as North Yorkshire and attending Wimbledon, the Euros and at Silverstone for the Formula One this summer.

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