“It’s been through some tough times but has continued to grow and develop to meet the growing appetite for this cuisine … Its employees epitomise the ethos that hard work brings success,” the statement quoted Sir Starmer as saying.

Curry Life Magazine Editor Syed Belal Ahmed said the industry managed to grow ‘despite being hit hard by several recessions.’

 

“There are pressing issues that need to be resolved, such as relaxing overseas work permits and a sensible discussion about spiralling business rates, but tonight was about recognition and celebration of a much-loved British tradition for Indian food.”
