One of Bristol’s most acclaimed restaurants snagged a major win in last night’s British Restaurant Awards. Indian restaurant Namak on Mina Road in St Werburgh's took home the Best Restaurant - Bristol award.
Namak scooped the prestigious award at the ceremony in London’s Porchester Hall. It saw off competition from Tomo No Ramen, Yafo, Adelina Yard, Root, Wilsons, The Ethicurean and Casamia. Wapping Wharf’s Root was shortlisted for the Best Vegan-Friendly Restaurant category but lost to Stem + Glory in Cambridge.
The win by Namak is all the more impressive as it only opened earlier this year. Owner Harris Massey said that the restaurant aimed to bring a ‘fresh new take’ on Indian dining and was inspired by the country’s many regions.
