Edinburgh’s Ignite restaurant wins award for third time
An Edinburgh restaurant, Ignite, has won the “Asian Restaurant of the Year – Edinburgh” category in the 2024 Asian Restaurant awards.
The restaurant has already won this award three times in 2020, 2021 and 2023.
The awards were announced at a dinner on Wednesday 4 September, at The Scottish Parliament.
Ignite, which celebrated its 20th year in business this year, has also had a number of other accolades. In 2023, the restaurant was also named “Indian Restaurant of the Year” in the Scotland Prestige Awards 2023/2024. These awards “recognise small and medium-sized businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over the past 12 months.” It attracted an award from LUXlife magazine too, which named Ignite ‘Best Indian & Bengali Restaurant 2023 – Edinburgh’ in its Restaurant and Bar Awards.
In addition, Ignite was announced as a Tripadvisor 2022 Travelers’ Choice Award Winner. This accolade is awarded to restaurants that “consistently deliver amazing experiences” and have earned positive reviews and ratings over the past year. Tripadvisor reported that Ignite was in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide.
Ignite’s owner, Mohammed Khan said: “We’re thrilled to have won this prestigious award again.
“Ever since we opened our doors, back in 2004, we’ve aimed to create the very best Indian and Bengali dining experience for our customers. Their feedback tells us we’re doing a good job and it is an honour to be recognised by the industry as well, for our contribution to the Asian food scene in Edinburgh.
