An Indian restaurant is set to become the first takeaway in the world to deliver its meals to customers' doorsteps by drone.

The Don，in Milton Keynes，Buckinghamshire，will fly its kormas and keema naans（羊肉烤饼）using a Phantom 3 drone so that hungry recipients can watch their dinner fiying to their door.The meals will be packaged in thermal takeaway bag that fits securely on the bottom rails of the drone.Restaurant owner Aki Rahman has applied for a Civil Aviation Authority（CAA）licence so he can legally pilot the aircraft.

The 30-year-old said："I'm determined to beat Google and Amazon and be the first to use delivery drones.We've done a trial run to my grandmother's house and it all went well." The progress of the curry-drone will be tracked back at The Don restaurant，which is based on Elder Gate near Milton Keynes Central railway station，and a specialist camera will even film its progress.Aki plans to offer customers a copy of the film showing how their meal travelled to them.

The innovative restaurateur was todaykeeping his fing ers crossedin the hopes that the CAA will grant him permission to fly over built-up areas where power lines can pose a problem."I'm 80 percent sure I will be allowed，"he said."But if not，I will stick to delivering in rural，open areas-perhaps delivering to a park if people want a special occasion picnic."

The Don opened four months ago and prides itself on offering authentic Indian cuisine without colourings or additives to suit Western taste.Aki added："These ingredients are not genuine.They are not what Indian people eat-and they would only provide more weight for my drone."The restaurant serves up a number of popular favourites including madras（马德拉菜），vindaloo（文达卢咖喱肉）and jalfrezi（什锦蔬菜），as well as a fiery dish called"Naga"madewith the infamous world's hottest naga chillipepper.
