At the Asian Restaurant Awards (Scotland) held recently St John’s Curry Club won the award for Scotland’s best Asian Takeaway/delivery establishment.

This was awarded jointly to St John’s and the Curry Pot Indian Takeaway in Dunfermline.

Operational Manager, Sadiq Rahman said: “This is a great award to win and shows that we are doing the right thing for our customers – cooking and delivering great food to them at home. The catering industry is facing so many difficulties at this moment but rewards like this will motivate our team even more to deliver our food and service of the highest standards to our customers.”

All winners will be included in the Asian Catering Federation’s (ACF) new ‘One Hundred Top Curry Restaurants’ guide, which is being published currently, region–by–region across the UK, at www.Top100curryRestaurants.co.uk.
