Asian Curry Awards 2015 open for nominations
Lovers of Asian
food now can nominate their favourite restaurants for the fifth Asian Curry
Awards (ACA). The awards are open to all
Indian, Bangladeshi and Asian restaurants in Britain, including - Chinese,
Thai, Japanese and Malaysian, that have been trading for at least 12 months and
have a minimum 4-star hygiene rating, with a plan to boost this to 5 stars.
The winners
will be announced at a high profile, glittering awards ceremony at the London
Hilton on Park Lane in Mayfair on Sunday 15th November 2015.
Curry lovers
can nominate their favourite restaurants and chefs online via
www.asiancurryawards.com. Voting closes 16th September.
Leading
restaurants will be visited unannounced by a panel of judges led by Pat
Chapman, editor of the Cobra Good Curry Guide to ensure
a truly
representative customer dining experience.
Participating restaurants will be required to send the ACA meal four
complimentary vouchers, which will be presented at the end of the meal.
Whilst the
judging criteria are heavily weighted towards the quality of the food and
cooking, additional points will be awarded for ambience, customer service and
hygiene.
Short-listed
chefs will compete in a live cook off in London on 5th October.
“We expect top
chefs to challenging the existing standards and exceed them,” said Asian Curry
Awards chairman Yawar Khan, who added, “These Awards are designed to encourage
