Started from 2009, the Curry Life Awards is an annual celebration of British Curry Industry. CURRY LIFE AWARDS reward and recognises the individual who represent the very best of CURRY Businesses in Great Britain and shown innovation and inspiration to their work. Each year the awards are given in different categories and interested participants are requested to check with our Awards Team for category they wish to nominate for.
The main purpose of this event is to honour the outstanding restaurants and chefs, who have excelled every way in the trade and culinary excellence of Curry Cuisine.
The assessment process is rigorous and tailored to suit each category. Establishments are visited once our anonymous judges draw up a short-list. The establishments are not notified in advance.
The judges inspect premises once; although where they feel a second visit is required they will return. The Judges decisions are final.
Winning an award really can make a difference and lead to increase sales and awareness about your business. The Curry Life Awards provide the confidence and the motivation to set sights higher for aspiring chefs and restaurateurs.
CHEFS – RESTAURATEURS – TAKEAWAY OWNERS
If you run or work in an Indian restaurant/takeaway and want to get involved with CURRYLIFE AWARDS 2024, you can enter by nominating yourself. The chefs, restaurants, takeaways, suppliers, public and customers can also nominate.
Our awards team makes the shortlist based on the information submitted. After shortlisting, our team will visit the restaurant/business and obtain further intelligence and evidence on each application. Then it is forwarded to the judging panel to make anonymous visits to make the final judgment.
Restaurants or takeaways must have a minimum of four stars food hygiene ratings or scores on the doors to be eligible to enter.
If you would like to nominate your restaurant, takeaways or chef, please go to this website’s nomination section and fill out the form. Our Awards Team will contact you after the initial assessments.
JUDGING PROCESS
The assessment process is rigorous and tailored to suit each category. Businesses are visited once the awards team does our shortlisting for further information. Then judges will make an additional visit to the establishment anonymously to make a final selection without notifying. The judging panel’s decision is final and will not enter any correspondence.
It is a condition of entry that the organiser’s rules will bind all entrants.
