A Bradford Indian vegetarian restaurant named as one of the best in Britain by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay was honoured with a civic reception at City Hall.

Prashad, in Horton Grange Road, starred in the final of the Channel 4 show, Ramsay’s Best Restaurant after beating more than 12,000 establishments across the country. The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Bradford, Councillor Peter Hill and his wife Gillian, were avid viewers of the programme.

The civic reception was to recognise the achievement in reaching the final and for raising the profile of Bradford as a destination for food lovers.

Prashad operations director Bobby Patel said: “We are proud to be ambassadors for Bradford and very grateful to the Mayor for recognising our achievements in this way.”
