A Bicester curry house has won a British Curry Award every year since it was launched – and this year is no exception.
Jaflong Tandoori Restaurant, in Market Square, was a finalist in the awards making it one of the top curry houses in the south east.
The British Curry Awards takes place every year to celebrate industry talent and quality and is the curry industry’s equivalent of the Oscars.
Family-run Jaflong has now reached the finals eight times and been shortlisted five times, it was one of 12 restaurants in the south east to receive an accolade.
As part of the application process, judges paid a surprise visit to the restaurant to try out food, the service and atmosphere.
Owner Shakur Ali said: “We have won awards 13 years running because the food and service is consistently good. We are part of the Bicester community.
“Around 80 per cent of our customers are regulars and I think that’s because Jaflong has been under the same management for 21 years and the staff have been with us for many years.
“The restaurant is in a great location, it’s warm and cosy and people love the character of the building.
”Dignitaries, celebrities and politicians joined restaurant owners and staff at the swanky bash at Battersea Evolution, in London, last month.
