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's likely to become a chicken and/or pizza shop, as the owners have had difficulties recruiting Indian/Bangladeshi chefs.

According to the Croydon Advertiser, this was the site of the first curry house to open in Croydon, in 1958. 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 photo on Flickr, it's been called Depa Indiana since at least c. 1985 (most easily visible at original size). 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 photo of sign in September 2012.
