Would someone be able to tell me who originally owned the Darjeeling Curry House in Corporation Street. Many thanks

Surely the Darjeeling was in Steelhouse Lane and not Corporation Street, this is what Wikipedia says, "In 1945 Abdul Aziz opened a cafe shop selling curry and rice in Steelhouse Lane. This later became The Darjeeling, the first Asian restaurant in Birmingham, owned by Afrose Miah"
