Overview

• Sai Surbhi in Urmston says two families left on August 30 without paying a bill slightly over £200 after dining with four adults and four children.
• The owners report five failed card attempts, no cash or ID, and a name and phone number left with a promise to pay the next day and consent to release CCTV if they did not.
• Their social media post, which included the receipt, drew hundreds of messages urging them to contact police or publish the footage to help identify the diners.
• Raman Kaur and Narinder Singh Athwa say losing £200 has a significant knock-on effect on their family-run restaurant’s ability to cover staff, bills and stock.
• They have not named the diners and caution against stereotyping; there is no confirmation of payment, and similar dine-and-run reports have recently surfaced at other UK Indian restaurants.
