Some of the Curry Capital’s best restaurants have been named finalists in the third annual Bradford Curry Awards.

From the best chefs and caterers to family meal favourites, there were over 3,000 nominations from curry lovers across the district.

Event director Fatima Patel said: “We were aware that the people of Bradford love their food and know their curry, but they’ve really rallied round to support their favourite establishments.”

The expert judges will now visit the shortlisted establishments for a mystery dining experience and choose the final winners except for the People’s Choice category.

The restaurants shortlisted in this category will go back out to a public vote with nominations closing on July 20.

The prestigious awards ceremony will take place on Monday, July 25, at The Bradford Hotel, Hall Ings.
