Two restaurants have been recognised at the UK curry awards. The National Curry Awards (NCA) 2024 celebrates the UK’s industry and their unsung heroes.

The Asian catering industry is valued at approximately £4-5 billion and employs between 80,000 to 100,000 workers. The National Curry Awards was created in order to promote the businesses within the Asian catering industry and to recognise both the staff at the forefront and those working in the background to keep the sector alive.

Organisers said: "The award winners display some of the highest quality service achieved through dedication to creating consistently premium cuisine and dining experiences."
