Simla named Best Indian Restaurant in Midlands
A Marston Green eatery has been named the Best Indian Restaurant in the Midlands at a major awards celebrating the finest curry houses in the UK.
Simla, in Alcott Lane, took home the coveted title at the Euro Asia Curry Awards 2025.
Meanwhile, the Best Indian Fine Dining Restaurant in the West Midlands award went to Divine, in Haslucks Green Road, Solihull.
Head chef at Divine, Abu Bakkar, also walked away with the Chef of the Year in West Midlands gong.
The annual event honours the very best of the UK’s curry industry, with awards recognising top restaurants, takeaways, newcomers and chefs.
More than 450 establishments and individuals from across the country entered the contest, with around 60 winners announced in both regional and national categories.
This year’s ceremony was held on October 27 at the ILEC Conference Centre in West Brompton, London.
The Euro Asia Curry Awards were founded nine years ago by Bangladeshi chef and businessman Shorif Khan.
He said: “It was wonderful to be back again this year to celebrate the fantastic businesses and people that make the UK curry industry as loved as it is.
“Despite the long-term impacts of the pandemic and rising costs, these restaurants and takeaways continue to offer incredible food, service and value.
“What’s also very encouraging, is that we’ve seen a lot of new openings in the past 12 months, many of which have been honoured at this year’s awards”
