The finalists for the sixth annual Leicestershire Curry Awards have been revealed – and the competition is hotter and more exciting than ever!
This year, hundreds of restaurants and takeaways entered the annual culinary event, with just 42 making it to the final across eight categories.
The competition has been rebranded for 2023, to encourage more restaurants and takeaways from across the county to take part, as opposed to just the city.
Last night, (Monday, July 31), business owners gathered at BBC Radio Leicester to hear whether their establishment had made the cut.
