The bookings at the restaurant immediately shot up after Ryan's simple but strong endorsement.
Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds complimented a small Indian restaurant in Europe for serving the best food from the country and this made the eatery so popular that bookings started going off the charts. Ryan had praised the restaurant for serving 'the best Indian food in Europe.'Â
The actor was recently in the United Kingdom as he took over the ownership of the National League football club Wrexham AFC. During the visit, he reviewed the Indian restaurant, named Light Of India, on his Instagram Stories on Saturday night. Sharing a flyer to the curry house, which is located in the Chesire town of Ellesmere port in the UK, the actor wrote, "Best Indian food in Europe."
The bookings at the restaurant immediately shot up after Ryan's simple but strong endorsement. It later emerged that owner Rajia Rahaman and her husband, who were on duty at the restaurant over the weekend, have no recollection of serving food to the actor and are not sure if the food was ordered to home. Their son Shaa Rahaman revealed that they found out about Ryan's visit only when the actor posted the review on Instagram.
Shaa, whose family has been running the restaurant for three generations since 1980, told The Guardian, "The first we knew anything about it was when Ryan posted his review. We asked my parents if he had been in but they didn바카라™t even know who he was. We showed them a picture and they couldn바카라™t remember seeing him. So it may be that he or a member of his team ordered and collected a takeaway. It바카라™s crazy. To think he says we바카라™re the best in Europe 바카라“ Europe is a pretty big place. We바카라™re glad he enjoyed his meal. We바카라™re pretty well known in the area. It may be that some of the Wrexham fans told him about us."
Shaa also spoke about the increase in bookings since Ryan's post and said they would even like to name a meal after the actor's famous character Deadpool. He said, 바카라œWe바카라™ve been so busy since. The phone has been ringing off the hook. It바카라™s amazing publicity for us. I want to try to get in touch with Ryan now to see if we can name a dish in honour of him 바카라“ the Deadpool masala, perhaps."
