As of December 2019 it's been vacant for over three years, though there has been sporadic action throughout this time including on-and-off building work, a notice in the window dated May 2017 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/34773791221/ photo]</small> stating that an application had been made for a premises licence for late night refreshment and supply of alcohol, a sign that appeared in July 2017 claiming it would be opening soon as a restaurant called Niazi Food House <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/36247088676/ photo]</small>, the appearance of decorative cut-outs on the upper floors, and work in late 2019 involving either the removal or the installation of some sort of kitchen equipment.	<b>Note:</b> As of early October 2016, Depa Indiana is closed for what looks like quite an extensive refurbishment.

<div class="history"> It was previously an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant called Depa Indiana <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8750565721/ photo]</small>, but this closed down by early October 2016. According to a member of staff at Niazi Food And Wine [[Niazi Food And Wine, 3 Derby Road\|next door at number 3]] (November 2016), it was likely to become a chicken and/or pizza shop, as the owners had had difficulties recruiting Indian/Bangladeshi chefs.	They also do takeaway and delivery, with online ordering [https://hungryhouse.co.uk/bangladeshi-indian-west-croydon via Hungry House]. According to a takeaway menu collected in December 2011, they will deliver for free within a 3-mile radius, minimum order £12, last delivery order at 10:45pm, payment in cash only. Another menu collected in February 2013 reiterates the minimum order but makes no mention of the other restrictions.

Historical phone books give some support for this, as a restaurant called The Curry House is listed here from the 1961 Outer London: Kent/Surrey edition to the 1984 Caterham & Reigate edition inclusive.	According to a sign seen in the window in September 2012 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7973670984/ photo]</small>, no alcohol is permitted on the premises. According to a takeaway menu (Feb 2013), they are halal.

However, it's had at least two different sets of people running it under this name. A change of management some time around 2011-2012 saw the food become halal and alcohol banned from the premises <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7973670984/ photo of sign in September 2012]</small>.
