Top Bournemouth Indian restaurant, Westbourne Tandoori, has become the UK’s top Indian restaurant thanks to the coveted Currylife Awards held recently at London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel.
Over 1000 guests, represented the country’s finest Indian restaurateurs, attended the gala ceremony hosted by the BBC’s Angela Rippon CBE and Mike Bushell.
The second category on the bill was ‘Best Indian Restaurant 2021’ and it took Westbourne Tandoori owner Anwar by surprise as Westbourne Tandoori was announced as the winner, he humbly received the prestigious award from Angela Rippon on stage – she commented: “It is so wonderful to see such a young owner achieving such incredible standards and support from his customers on a national scale.”
Anwar put the success down to several reasons; the increased support the restaurant has had since the start of 2020 lockdown when he instinctively upscaled his delivery service and looked after the community with a host of offers and discounts for those that needed them most – that coupled with his exceptional chef, local suppliers and slick service be it delivery, take away or eat in. Plus, he has fully refurbished the restaurant, redesigned his menu, and added a new cocktail list to his assets.
As if that was not enough his nominated Dorset hospice care charity, Lewis Manning, benefits each year from the restaurant’s Christmas donations.
Westbourne Tandoori is making its mark on the national Indian dining scene and Anwar hopes not only to expand the existing Westbourne premises but is actively looking for a second venue to spread the success further afield!
Anwar, 24, employs 30 staff in all departments of his restaurant and explicitly says that they are all collectively responsible for this award!
