Birmingham’s much-loved Indian restaurant Lasan has won the British Curry Awards for a record sixth time.
The UK’s top curry restaurants, as voted for by the British public, were announced at The British Curry Awards - the industry’s foremost celebration of the nation’s finest Indian restaurants. The event was hosted by comedian Hugh Dennis and is informally known as the UK’s Curry Oscars.
Jabbar Khan, founder of Lasan said: "We’re absolutely thrilled to have won this magnificent award. It’s our sixth win and achieving this on our 20th anniversary really is the cherry on the icing on the cake for our team."
Lasan has always been a trailblazer for Indian restaurants in Birmingham and has elevated the industry to greater heights ever since winning Gordon Ramsay’s Best Local Restaurant in the UK Award on Channel 4’s The F Word in 2010.
"Since 2002, Lasan has been captivating the hearts of discerning foodies and celebrities alike, with its exquisite Indian cuisine scooping over 20 prestigious awards and accolades throughout this magical journey.
"All this has been made possible by our talented, passionate chefs and loyal members of staff. On behalf of the Lasan family, I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to all our guests, who have kept us true to our vision and true to India."
The evening also paid tribute to the late Enam Ali MBE, the event’s founder and the UK’s leading spokesperson for the curry industry, who worked tirelessly to promote the curry industry globally for over 45 years.
Recognised globally as the original and most coveted award ceremony in the UK curry industry, the British Curry Awards welcomed personalities from the worlds of politics, sport, showbiz and entertainment alongside celebrity chefs and curry restaurant owners and their staff from across the country.
