The British Curry Awards saw Bristol favourite Urban Tandoor take home a special new prize. Dubbed the 'Curry Oscars', the event saw the restaurant - which has a site on Whiteladies Road and Small Street - shortlisted for the Best in the South West category alongside The Mint Room.
It was Prithvi Restaurant in Cheltenham that took the regional title at the London ceremony on Monday night (November 28) as voted for by the public, but Urban Tandoor didn't leave the capital empty-handed, winning in a brand new category. The Clifton curry house, popular for its colourful decor and flower wall alongside its menu, was in the Diners' Choice Award, recognising the restaurant's efforts in engaging audiences on social media.
Any nominated establishment in Britain had a chance to win this award based on the highest number of live, public votes on the night. Urban Tandoor has taken Tiktok by storm this year with its most popular video attaining almost 3.5 million views. The restaurant has 30,000 followers and has earned well over one million likes across its videos.
