Back in May a restaurant owner was sentenced to six years in jail after a customer upon ordering nut-free curry and was served chicken tikka masala with groundnut powder, sending him into immediate anaphylactic shock. The restaurant has understandably been receiving a great deal of negative press regarding the killing of a man who specifically ordered his food prepared one way and was served another that caused his immediate death. In an email to customers from Emraz Zaman, a relative of Mohammed Zaman (the restaurant’s owner who is now in jail), the restaurant attempted to apologize to customers but instead referred to the jail sentence as ‘somewhat disappointing’ before then going on to pitch customers on the restaurant’s new and improved desserts.

The email begins:
“[We]…sincerely apologise to all our loyal customers for the recent heavy press surrounding the Easingwold branch and the somewhat disappointing decision for our founding father Mr Zaman. Mistakes have been made and this is no excuse but now is a time to move on as Mr Zaman so wishes.”
It continues:
“We are now in the process of launching a new dessert menu and have hired an exclusive pastry chef from London to design this. Our philosophy, started by our founder, [Mohammed] Khalique Zaman, was and still is to create real quality Indian cuisine of the highest standard.”
“With exhilarating flavours and subtle aromas…Jaipur Spice will transform your perception of Indian food…You’ll spot the difference the moment the food arrives ! !”
Naturally people are buggin’ the fuck out over this. The restaurant didn’t apologize at all for killing a man, instead they referred the the deserved jail sentence as ‘somewhat disappointing’, which is also hilariously apathetic. Either support your founder or admonish him for knowingly serving deadly food to a customer, don’t just half ass it. Then the restaurant just hawks their desserts on customers as if nothing had ever happened. Completely disgraceful. And if you’ll excuse me I’ll now be eating a slice of apple pie in protest of this stupid ass curry restaurant.
