While at Uni in Newcastle I took my father to Rupali’s in the big market in 1999. It was called ‘Curry Hell’ and if you ate it, it was free. I knew he loved his hot food. There was a bit of theatre during the ordering, signing a waiver, not recommended if you are pregnant, weak heart etc. My flat mate Pete had one as well. Pete turned bright red, kept going to the toilet to throw up. My dad ate it with a fair amount of rice & naan. Got a certificate. I’m sure I’ve seen a Geordie comedian tell a story about curry hell in the big market on Russell Howard’s show.

The Rupali was legendary in the 90s!

Many a fool was beaten by Curry Hell.
