Oni Depp celebrated his victory in the defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard with a curry night.
The 58-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actor treated himself and friends to a £ 50,000 feast at a top-class Indian restaurant in Birmingham, according to reports.
He was joined by musician friend Jeff Beck, 77, and about 20 others around him as they took over the Varanasi restaurant on Sunday night.
The party arrived at 7 pm and left around midnight, during which time the venue was closed to other customers.
While there, they were served with shish kebab appetizers, as well as chicken teak and king tandoor shrimp.

The main course included chicken with butter, breaded teak masala, lamb karahi and king shrimp bhuna.
All the food was accompanied by grandmothers, rice and salad.
Depp then finished his meal with panna cotta and cheesecake instead of going for a traditional Indian dessert, they said.
They accompanied their dinner with a selection of cocktails and champagne roses.
Mohammed Hussein, Varanasi’s chief operating officer, told MailOnline that he initially thought it was a “finish” when he received a phone call earlier in the day, informing him that the Hollywood star wanted to come down.
Mr Hussein was impressed by Depp, calling him “a very wonderful, down-to-earth man who spent a lot of time talking to staff, our friends and family and was happy to pose for photos with them”.
Although he said he had vowed to keep the exact amount of the bill secret, he confirmed that it was “easily five-digit” with “no problem money”.
MailOnline claims that the bill is believed to have reached a total of £ 50,000 and that Depp is said to have paid the full amount.
The Standard contacted a representative of Johnny Depp for comment.
The Edward Scissor Hands star was in Birmingham to accompany Beck to the stage for his performance at the City Symphony Hall.
He recently confirmed that they were releasing an album together, after he also joined him on stage at Sage Gateshead in the north of England, Glasgow and London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Johnny Depp recently sued his ex-wife Hurd, 36, for $ 50 million for a 2018 piece she wrote in which she was allegedly a victim of domestic violence.

Their lavish curry night came after Depp successfully sued his 36-year-old ex-wife Hurd for $ 50 million for a 2018 song she wrote.
He won a jury trial in Virginia last week, where Hurd was ordered by a judge to pay Depp $ 10 million in damages.
Hurd promised to appeal the sentence.
The jury also ruled in favor of Hurd, who said she had been slandered by Depp’s lawyer when he called her allegations of abuse fraud.
Hurd will receive $ 2 million out of the $ 100 million she sought in her counterclaim against the star.
