The Asian Catering Federation [ACF] has revealed the top ten curry restaurants in the South West of England, ahead of the publication of its new ‘One Hundred Top Curry Restaurants’ guide.
The 10 featured restaurants in the South West are Mantra in Bath, Urban Tandoor and Mint Room in Bristol, Denley’s Essence of India in Exeter, Spice Lounge in Ilfracombe, Kahuna and Zaman’s in Newquay, Ragini in Seaton, Prthvi in Cheltenham and Maha Bharat in South Hams.
The ‘One Hundred Top Curry Restaurants’ guide is being published initially online region by region – the South West being the first – before a hard copy is made available next year.
Entries are determined by public votes for the ACF’s various national and regional awards programmes, before winning restaurants are decided following personal visits from a panel of judges.
“The south-west is one of the favourite regions for our judges to visit, because of the depth and variety of innovative cooking,” said Yawar Khan, chairman of the Asian Catering Federation.
The ACF will host the 6th Asian Restaurant Awards at the Manchester Hilton on June 27 and Edinburgh at the Sheraton Grand on September 19. The 12th Asian Curry Awards are taking place at the Grosvenor House on November 20, 2022. The awards are sponsored by Just Eat and Booker Wholesale.
The next region to have its top ten curry restaurants will be the North West of England. The full guide will be divided into 10 regions: London, the South East, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, North West, North East, Midlands, East of England and South West.
Speaking about the Guide, Khan reported that many curry restaurants are facing an existential crisis: “Soaring food, energy and salary costs, combined with rising National Insurance and VAT rates plus severe staff shortages, compounded by customers having less money to spend on restaurant visits and takeaways, means that the rate of closures is set to increase.”
