       Anger among locals increased after he put up a map showing where Jack the Ripper killed his female victims in the late 1800s.

       He has since covered it up but takings have still plummeted.

       Recep, 52, said: “People shout abuse at us through the front door. They think I hate women.

       “I even did a half-price day for women to prove we’re not supportive of him. They had a go at me for that and started calling me sexist.”

       He opened a shop in Greenwich, South East London, after success with his original venture in the East End area of Whitechapel, where the Ripper preyed on his victims.

       Recep said: “People there understand its history. We did very well so decided to move to a different part of London.

       Another said: “Would you have called it that if you were a woman?”

       Another questioned if a restaurant would be named after murdering cop Wayne Couzens.

       But Recep, who has been in catering for 25 years, said: “It’s not like this is a murderer from last year. It’s a name we chose and it’s a brand now.”
