The 50-year-old visited the restaurant with a group of friends and insisted on paying the bill but couldn't as the eatery didn't accept his American Express card and Cruise was only carrying US dollars, reported Daily Mail.
"It was a big shock for us when he walked in. He said we had been recommended to him, but he would not say by whom. At the end of the meal he wanted to pay, but we could not accept American Express.
"He said his whole group only had dollars, then a lady came forward and paid in 50 pound notes," said Darshit Hora, the restaurant manager.
Darshit says if the actor, who left with a generous tip, wouldn't have been able to pay the bill, the restaurant would have been more than happy to put on the house.
"The bill was 220.85 pounds so they left almost an 80 pound tip. It was very generous. If they did not have any money, it would have been on the house," he added.
