The UK’s Top 100 Curry Restaurants Guide started in 2022 and recognises establishments that not only deliver outstanding food, but have built communities, created jobs and upheld the highest standards of hospitality.

Chairman of the Asian Catering Federation Yawar Khan, congratulated those who made the guide and added: “The Asian food industry strives to create the very best experience for its customers, and everyone listed in this guide is there because they have worked tirelessly to earn their place.

“Year-on-year the Asian catering industry is challenged by global shortages, online delivery platforms charging exorbitant fees, and now, the new immigration rules that will make it extremely difficult for new overseas applicants to obtain a skilled worker visa in the UK. However, despite all this, we still continue to thrive, innovate, and dedicate all our energy to creating the very best cuisine.”
