A Glaswegian restaurant specialising in Indian classics has been named the best in Scotland at the prestigious British Curry Awards.

The 2022 honour named Swadish by Ajay Kumar on Ingram Street the best in the country and one of the best in the UK.

The British Curry awards happen annually and are attended by big names in entertainment, politics, and sport.

UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak even showed his support for the event via a video message to the packed hall of public figures and industry leaders, saying: "The thing I've learnt about being Prime Minister is that the best training I ever had was working in a curry house.

"I know how hard every one of you works from the chefs to the waiters to the restaurant managers and the delivery drivers.

"And that experience gave me a huge appreciation of business, of the importance of treating people fairly and the value of this most iconic of British Asian industries.

"So I'm delighted to be supporting Britain's ‘Curry Oscars’. I want to thank all of you for everything you do to fill our high streets and our homes with some of the best curry in the world.”
