An Indian restaurant set on a golf course has won a major award in the Asian Restaurant & Takeaway Awards (ARTA) for the third time. The Grand Sultan in Port Talbot was one of three Welsh businesses that received accolades during the industry awards.
Elaichi in Camarthen won Regional Chef of the Year: Wales and Kalimirch in Barry took Takeaway of the Year: Wales in the awards which recognise for the high calibre of food and service provided. Other Welsh eateries to make the shortlist were The Mint Room, Barry and Duchess of Delhi in Cardiff.
The ARTA Awards shine a spotlight on the UK's top Asian restaurants, chefs and takeaways and is the largest celebration of Britain's Asian culinary industry. The restaurants which are put forward for the awards - for which there were 2400 nominations - are nominated by restaurant goers. The winning restaurants are awarded based on three key elements: quality of food, service and value for money. The food hygiene rating and reviews from sites such as TripAdvisor and Google are also considered.
