FOUR North Wales restaurants have been shortlisted as some of the best in the country - including three in Wrexham.
The shortlist for this year’s Asian Restaurant Awards, being held in Manchester at the end of the month, has been announced.
These national awards are open to restaurants of all Asian and Oriental cuisines.
More than 100,000 online votes from members of the spice loving community determined the finalists.
Judges from the Asian Catering Federation (ACF), which hosts the event, are now visiting the candidates to determine the overall category winners.
In the North Wales region, four eateries were highlighted.
There are:
- Black Peppers, Wrexham
- Ijazz, Wrexham
- Maahis, Wrexham
- Sapna Tandoori, Caernarfon
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner and presentation ceremony organised at the Mercure Piccadilly on Tuesday, August 31.
The Asian Restaurant Awards cover the complete range of Asian and Oriental cuisines: Bangladeshi, Burmese, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Middle Eastern, Pakistani, Singaporean, Sri Lankan, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese.
Commenting on this year’s awards, ACF chairman Yawar Khan said: “The pandemic has been devastating for many hospitality businesses and its workers.
“These awards will acknowledge the sector’s resilience, innovation and generosity in the face of such adversity.”
In order to survive, some Michelin-starred fine dining Indian restaurants began offering takeaways for the first time. Others sold finish-at-home meal kits, containing pre measured ingredients and recipe instructions. Another operated pop-up delivery kitchens, based in locked-down pubs.
