As the foremost and pioneering celebration of the UK curry industry’s achievements and the best restaurants across all regions, British Curry Awards has established itself as a national institution, recognised internationally.

The process of public nominations creates an authentic list of the nation’s favourite Asian eateries, based on the opinions of local residents, leading to a rigorous vetting process by an independent panel of judges.
