Prestige Curry Awards
Elevating Excellence Across the British Indian Hospitality Industry Since 2022
London, United Kingdom
Since its establishment in 2022, the Prestige Curry Awards have swiftly emerged as one of the UK’s most distinguished celebrations of achievement within the British Indian hospitality sector — honouring the chefs, restaurateurs and entrepreneurs whose passion continues to shape the nation’s culinary landscape.
Created with a vision to uplift and recognise small businesses at the heart of the community, the awards have proudly supported thousands of establishments across the UK, shining a spotlight on outstanding contributions to the British curry industry — a cornerstone of Britain’s dining culture.
From master chefs with decades of expertise to innovative newcomers redefining modern cuisine, the Prestige Curry Awards celebrate excellence in all its forms. Each winner represents dedication, resilience and a deep commitment to quality, service and heritage.
At the centre of the awards calendar is the prestigious annual gala dinner — an elegant evening where industry leaders, community members and creatives gather to celebrate success in style. The ceremony blends sophistication with cultural vibrancy, featuring live performances from acclaimed singers, dancers and artists who transform the night into a true celebration of artistry and tradition.
The growth of the event has been made possible through the unwavering support of valued sponsors, restaurant partners and community leaders, whose contributions continue to elevate the awards to new heights each year.
Following every ceremony, the achievements of winners receive extensive national recognition, with coverage across major UK media platforms including The Chronicle, Gazette, The Sun, Yahoo News and the Evening Standard — ensuring that the stories behind Britain’s most celebrated curry establishments are shared far and wide.
Asif Iqbal, CEO of Prestige Curry Awards, commented:
“The Prestige Curry Awards were created to celebrate more than success — they celebrate community, heritage and growth. Watching our winners come together under one roof, sharing their journeys and inspiring one another, is truly special. Each year we witness the rise of new talent alongside the continued success of established businesses, and that unity is what makes our industry so powerful.”
More than an awards ceremony, the Prestige Curry Awards have become a platform of recognition, inspiration and opportunity — fostering connections, encouraging entrepreneurship and strengthening the future of the British Indian hospitality industry.
We look forward to welcoming every one of you to the Prestige Curry Awards 2026 — and wish all nominees and participants the very best of luck.
