Paprika Club has made the prestigious list for the second year running, selected from more than 10,000 curry houses in the country.

Each year the Asian Catering Federation, which represents 30,000 Asian and Oriental restaurants in the UK, hosts national and regional awards, shortlists from which are determined by public votes. The Federation’s panel of judges then tour the country, assessing the merits of each restaurant. Marks are awarded for culinary skills, with top scores reserved for the innovative use of fresh, local ingredients, services, ambience, hygiene and contributions to the local community and charitable activities.
