Curry lovers from across the nation have attempted the challenge, but 99% of buyers fail to beat it.
Served at the Bengal Village on Brick Lane, Tower Hamlets, east London, the dish is titled the capital’s ‘hottest curry’.
Priced at £21.95, diners are given the chance to get their entire table’s meals for free if they can wolf them down in 15 minutes.
The curry includes the eye-watering Carolina Reaper and a rare chilli from Bangladesh named the ‘snake chilli’, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The creator of the dish claims that it has a Scoville rating of 18 million.

The Scoville scale is a measurement of spiciness of chili peppers and other substances, recorded in Scoville heat units (SHU). It is based on the concentration of capsaicinoids, among which capsaicin is the predominant component.
A spokesperson for Bengal Village stated: “There are 92 different chillis in London’s hottest curry.
“If anyone can finish the dish within 15 minutes, they get their entire table’s meal free – whether it be for 20 people or two people.

“About 99% have failed, and we’ve only ever had two winners.
“The best way to deal with a spicy curry is a lot of cold fluids like milk or mango lassi, and ice cream.
“A personal favourite is Airwaves chewing gum.
“The dish cost us about £50 to make, but we sell it for £21.95.
“It is a loss, but we like to give back to our customers with a challenge that’s affordable for them.”
Members of the public were left shocked by the footage.
Cinder Scott said, “Imagine getting fed ice cream by the man who gave you the hottest curry in the world.”
Marcus King said, “I do like a nice curry, but I want to enjoy it.”
Paulo Cyrus said, “I could never wear a white t-shirt when going for a curry.”
