Originally established in 1965 - New Curry Garden rapidly became popular, especially as it was one of very few restaurants serving genuine Indian/Bangladeshi Cuisine in the Surrey region.

The restaurant has attracted a vast number of people - from the local residents of Dorking and the neighbouring towns/villages to well known politicians and film stars; among their famous customers have been the late Oliver Reed, one of Britain's all time great film actor who used to be regular diner (and drinker we assume) and the Sultan of Oman, who still has his take-out for the family.

Today, the newly refurbished restaurant projects a contemporary and stylish image, one of which is rarely found in a town such as Dorking. The Concept was simplicity with a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere; the key feature being to simulate the effects of a typical village in Bangladesh using colour, thus traditional yet still contemporary.

Their quality levels are as high as ever, a fact that has been recognised by their inclusion in the Cobra Good Curry Guide every year since 2001, including being nominated for the Best in Britain Award in 2001 and 2002.
