Curry lovers are being asked to nominate their favourite Indian restaurants and takeaways ahead of this years’ fifth Leicester Curry Awards – which are designed to celebrate the most taste-tactic food in town!
Nominations for the highly anticipated annual competition are opening tomorrow (Wednesday, June 1), with seven categories designed to celebrate the best Takeaways and Curry Houses across Leicester and Leicestershire.
This year’s Leicester Curry Awards are taking place on September 26, and will shortly be seeking nominations in the following categories; Best New Restaurant, Best Fine Dining Restaurant, Restaurant of the Year, Best Vegetarian Restaurant, Best Pub Restaurant, Best Takeaway and Best Indian Street Food
“With hundreds of Indian restaurants in Leicestershire, there’s certainly plenty of choice for curry lovers across the county. However, everyone has their favourite spot – somewhere they love to go for for a special spicy treat, and somewhere which hits the spot every time”, said Romail Gulzar, founder of the Leicester Curry Awards.
“Why not nominate your favourite restaurant/takeaway, and show your appreciation for the restaurants, who deliver the delicious food you look forward to week after week?”
As in previous years, this year’s awards will take place at Leicester’s Athena Events Venue.
Previous winners have said that securing a title at the Leicester Curry Awards have been a real highlight, and a great boost for their business.
“The publicity we got was phenomenal – the we got phone calls from customers wanting to know what food we did, and what we served”, revealed Atul Dawda, owner of Soi restaurant, which won Best New Restaurant in 2019.
“As a team we were so proud that we’d achieved something”.
“Being recognised by your local people who are literally your bread and butter is the best feeling, and one of my real highlights”, added Shaf Islam, whose restaurant Chutney Ivy won the coveted title of ‘Restaurant of the Year’ back in 2017.
“I’m so happy that this brilliant award is there to celebrate my industry.
“Whoever wins truly deserves it as they have put their blood, sweat and tears into that”.
