There used to be a Chinese in London called Jailhouse Wok, they had a cabaret with different Chinese Elvises. It was fucking brilliant.
Don’t you step on my Bhuna suede shoes.
^(Or Jalfrezi-House Rock, I couldn’t decide.)
Framwellgate Moor?
Love me Tandoori.
A local Indian restaurant used to host Patelvis nights.
Claimed to be the countries only Indian Elvis.
Never got chance to go see him before they closed down permanently.
Curry house with Elvis impersonators is pretty standard
Burning Love?
When I lived in North London a few years ago there was an Indian bloke who did the played the pubs performing a brilliant solo rock and roll show.
‘Elwis’. FIFY
Ours did a raffle once. All the food was something like 30% off so we went
The waiter came round at the end to sell raffle tickets. We bought a couple and he told us we had to buy 2 each at £3 a pop to redeem the 30% offer. Cue a restaurant full of angry customers giving them loads of shit, eventually the caved and the table next to us went home with a new microwave.
Still can’t figure out why they thought it’d be a good idea. Probably wanted to shift some dodgy gear
Nice. Must be taking a break from the DIY shop he normally promotes when he “returns a sander.”
You’ll be going and sharing a review with us, right?
Patelvis
Britain summed up in a photo right there.
I like the late 1990s Millennium Dome branding – an impressive commitment.
I’m sure they had the same tribute night at Dhaka Dynasty in Coventry not so long back.
You ain’t nothing but a ground spice..
In Charlotte NC we used to have a guy who called himself RenElvis, he was a Philippine short person so that was a bit of an interesting moment when he came out on stage in the full regalia but his imitation was spot on. He’s passed away a few years ago now.
My local one had an Amy Winehouse impersonator
There use to be an Italian restaurant on Streatham high road with a regular elvis impersonator. The story was that the owner died and his two sons took over, then his sons fell out and one son kept the restaurant but the other son moved next door, opened another Italian restaurant and employed a regular elvis impersonator as well. I don’t know which one was better but when I lived there they both seemed to be making a living
Works do this year is a curry-house-with-ABBA-tribute job. However good/bad it is I’m looking forward to it.
Picking up all these Elvis puns makes me think I need to get my game on though.
Dancing Keema?
Korma Mia?
Wat-Aloo?
What is it with Indian cuisine and Elvis? Our local restaurant has a sign outside advertising Elvis night too
Got a takeaway there last night and suddenly it pops up on my feed. Surreal.
And if theres one thing that she don’t need, it’s another hungry mouth to feed, In the Ghee-to…
Is that not a Bangladeshi restaurant? India and Bangladesh are two different countries and the cuisines are vastly different. But tbh, everything served in the name of Indian, Bangladeshi, or Pakistani cuisines taste the same in the UK. They taste nothing like what the original cuisines taste like. In the big scheme of things, adapted Desi food in the UK pretending to be desi is like Pizza Hut pretending to be Italian. All the same.
One of our local Indian restaurants must have had a Michael Jackson tribute night on years ago because we have been using them for takeaway for about 5 years and tickets are still on the menu on FoodHub. Obviously whoever is putting the order in has to double check whether we want tickets to the Michael Jackson Tribute night when running through the order before placing it.
Lmao I go past this sign on the daily to get to work, didn’t expect to see it on Reddit!
Nice to see a fellow framwellgate moorer!
This was always my families local growing up
This is my local front street haha
A local curry house where we live did this too… maybe he’s on a curry house tour!!
There is a Indian elvis who goes round all the local Indian retraunts near me packs out whichever one he’s in
🎶I’ve ordered a Danzak,
There’s no madras,
And I really like so saaaaggg allllooooo🎶
