ONE YEAR IN BUSINESS

Awards and I am delighted that year three has been just as successful as the first. ‘Nominations were up this year and the standard was too. We had in place a broad mix of judges and food critics on board again this year.’ The Irish Curry Awards is a not-for-profit event with all profits donated to the Children’s Heartbeat Trust. All of the staff at both restaurants are very proud to have done so well in the awards.

Their customers know very well that the accolades were well earned. ABOVE: Wang Yin, Maeve O’Malley, Mehwish Ghani, Shamim Akhter, Alihan Saleem and Waseem Saeed with the award won by Daata.
