Curry Life was launched in March, 2003. The magazine was founded by Syed Belal Ahmed and Syed Nahas Pasha,[3] who are editors of the magazine.[4]

The magazine started out as a newsletter and developed into a 50-page glossy magazine.[3] It is distributed to over 12,000 Bangladeshi and Indian restaurants in the UK.[3] and is free for curry restaurants in the UK,[4] available in some specialist newsagents and selective Asian supermarkets,[5] and is widely distributed and read all over the world.[3] It has an estimated readership of over 100,000 and also has a presence in Europe, Middle East and South Asia.[5] The magazine is available through subscription for a yearly fee of £20 in the UK or £30 elsewhere.[4]

The magazine is the only independent magazine in the field[3] and has been described as the "voice of the curry industry".[4] It contains news and features on a variety of issues affecting the Asian catering sector. It also includes restaurant profiles, interviews, recipes, film reviews, and travel articles.[4] Its aim is to create a better business environment for the restaurant industry.[3]

The magazine has hosted festivals in South East Asian countries such as Bangladesh and India, Europe and the Middle East.[6] In December 2014, the Curry Life Business Achievement Awards was launched.[7][8][9] In March 2015, Curry Life organised the Hyatt Regency's The Taste of Britain Curry festival.[10]
