On Tuesday, to mark 50 years in the town, Eurasia Tandoori Restaurant held a special meal, which saw around 80 people turn up to help the team celebrate.

Mr Haque said: “On Tuesday we proudly celebrated 50 amazing years of Eurasia Tandoori Restaurant. It was a fantastic night — thank you to everyone who joined us, and to those who couldn’t make it, we truly appreciate your continued support.

“Established in 1975, Eurasia has been serving delicious, quality food for half a century. As Bridgnorth’s Mayor said at our 40th anniversary, we are proud to be “a real credit to the town.”

“Thank you to all our wonderful customers from near and far — we look forward to serving you for many more years to come!”
