Dean Mahomet (1759–1851) was an Indian-born author, entrepreneur, and soldier who became one of the first Indians to publish a book in English. His memoir, The Travels of Dean Mahomet, offers a unique perspective on 18th-century colonial life. He later settled in Britain, where he introduced Indian cuisine and therapeutic massage, opening the first Indian restaurant in London. Mahomet is celebrated as a cultural pioneer and early cross-cultural figure.
