Askor Ali, executive chef at the Mahaan Restaurant, in Montague Street, was one of 40 chefs to receive official recognition for their contribution to an industry worth more than £4.2billion a year, at the awards held inside The Lancaster Hotel, in London.

Mr Ali said: “To win this title is the greatest vote of confidence I could wish for, not just for myself but for my team who work so hard to make things happen at the Mahaan of Worthing.

“The award will inspire us to keep improving and I’d also like to thank all our customers for their help putting us on the map.”

The UK may have a soft spot for old favourites like bangers and mash and fish and chips but the British appetite for curry remains unrivalled.
