Sake Dean Mahomed
(1759-1851)

restaurant owner

Died aged c. 92

Sake Dean Mahomed (1759–1851) was an Indian traveller, surgeon, entrepreneur, and one of the most notable early non-European immigrants to the Western World. Due to non-standard transliteration, his name is often spelled in various ways. His high social status meant that he adopted the honorific "Sake" (Sheikh) meaning "venerable one". Mahomed introduced Indian cuisine and shampoo baths to Europe, where he offered therapeutic massage. He was also the first Indian to publish a book in English.
