HOT news! The North Yorkshire-based Jinnah chain of Asian restaurants today earned ultimate honours in the Best in Britain ethnic restaurant awards - nominated by thousands of its customers.
The awards, based on the readership of the Real Curry Restaurant Guide, a directory of 8,000 Asian restaurants in the UK, are regarded as the "curry Oscars".
Saleem Akhtar, managing director of the family-run Jinnah group he founded in 1990, heard it hailed as one of the exclusive top 30 restaurants in the UK by Peter Grove, the guide's editor, at a glittering ceremony at the 2001 European ethnic food and drink restaurant and catering exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham this afternoon.
The six-restaurant chain was placed among the Best in Britain top 30 elite after tens of thousands of votes poured into the guide's website.
This is the third major triumph for the Jinnah chain in two years.
