Around 50 regional and national winners were chosen and received their gongs at a ceremony at Mayfair in Romford, London on November 26.

Also a winner on the night was Panshi, in Heath Way, Cannock, which was named Best Indian Restaurant in Staffordshire.

The Euro Asia Awards, now in their eighth year, were founded by Bangladeshi chef, Shorif Khan.

He said: "We’re very excited to once again be celebrating the incredible people, restaurants and takeaways that make the UK curry industry as loved as it is.

"Annually, the industry contributes more than £5 million to the country’s economy and 2024 has been a particularly strong year."
