Basmati Restaurant Wins Big at English Curry Awards | Leicester News

Basmati Restaurant in Great Barr stunned the UK curry scene by winning Outstanding Restaurant of the Year at the English Curry Awards, celebrated not just for its bold Bangladeshi-Indian fusion but for its deep community roots—backing local football and giving back through charity. Owner Taj Ahmed credited loyal customers as the real stars behind the success. Meanwhile, Birmingham’s Titash took home Best of Birmingham, proud to represent a city with one of the strongest curry cultures in the country, highlighted by their nostalgic “railway lamb.” The awards also spotlighted the rich, layered history of British curry—from Bangladesh’s early influence decades before the balti boom to today’s diverse winners across regions, including a lifetime achievement honor. It’s a celebration of flavor, community, and the unsung heroes behind every plate. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
