A Leamington restaurant is once again in the running for a hat-trick of honours at this year’s 15th Asian Curry Awards.

Paprika Club, which marks its 31st year in the town, has made the prestigious shortlist for the third year running, selected as one of the finalists for Best Asian Restaurant in Warwickshire and The West Midlands.

Shamim Uddin, who heads up the family-run business, said: “When we opened our small business on December 1st 1994 we had a dream and it has been quite a journey. To win again for the third year running would be an incredible honour.”

He added: “Our aim is to provide a unique dining experience serving exquisite Indian cuisine representing our culture and legendary gastronomy with typical dishes using a creative touch. We pride ourselves on quality, and most importantly, our customers. A huge thank you to our amazing team and loyal guests who continue to support us every step of the way.”
