The list covers some of the best loved Asian, Chinese, Japanese, and Nepalese restaurants and takeaways from across the Highlands, North East and Central Belt of Scotland. The winners will be announced at this year’s Asian Restaurant Awards (Scotland) finals event, which is being staged on 1 November at the Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh. The awards finals were delayed due to the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF) with Just Eat as its key sponsor, the awards have become a pinnacle for uniting the Asian restaurant industry in achieving recognition for innovation, vision and exceptional food.

Edinburgh-based outlets lead the way with 21 restaurants and takeaways from the Scottish capital making this year’s short-list. Five Glasgow entrants also make the list along with four establishments from both Perth and St Andrews; three from Dunfermline; and two from Inverness, Paisley, Elgin and Falkirk. There are also entrants from Aberdeen, Dundee, among other Scottish represented on the final shortlist for this year’s awards.

At this year’s awards one of the finalists will also be named as the overall best Asian restaurant in Scotland.

The shortlist was determined by over 10,000 votes from members of the public. The establishments will all be visited by a panel of judges from the ACF who will determine the winners for both national and regional award categories at the finals in September.

Scottish winners will also be included in the ACF’s new ‘One Hundred Top Curry Restaurants’ guide, which is being published currently, region–by–region across the UK, at www.Top100curryRestaurants.co.uk, with a printed version being available next year.

ACF Chairman Yawar Khan said: “We congratulate all the Edinburgh establishments in making this year’s short-list for the sixth annual Asian Restaurant Awards (Scotland), an event which showcases some of the best dining establishments from across the nation. We look forward to unveiling the winners at our awards finals event in Edinburgh next month.

“Asian restaurants, which contribute £5bn to the economy and employ more than 100,000 people across the UK, are a key feature of Scotland’s food and cultural landscape. At a time when the sector is facing significant challenges with rising food and energy prices along with staff shortages, it’s important we acknowledge excellence and celebrate the success of the sector.”
